DCS World core updates, new Mosquito, Hornet campaigns and other updates

,
1–2 minutes

There was a new DCS World update that came out this week packed full of new and updated features for the sim. This week we’re also learning about a couple of new campaigns for the Mosquito and Hornet and there’s a few other items to cover. Let’s have a look

Core sim updates the focus

A development progress update from Eagle Dynamics this week comes jam packed with quite a bit of information.

Core updates include AI aircraft improvements adjusting how the AI flies in formation and performs attack patterns. There are loadout changes too. Meanwhile AI ships and ground vehicles have new effects and a new smoke effect when their health percentage drops to 25% or lower.

There are also adjustments to the AIM-120’s missile fusing logic, the R-24 missile has been given an overhaul, and various other ships have seen adjustments to drag profiles and guidance systems.

They’ve also been working on the UI to solve some issues with the interface responding slowly.

They’ve also added a beta test of the new save mission system that was detailed last week. Really interested to see how that works out.

Loads of modules have seen individual updates including the F-16C, F/A-18C, Mi-24P, Ka-50, F-5E, and even the F-86F and Yak-52 are getting fixes. There are also new vapour efforts for the Su-27 and Su-33.

Read more about the update here in the latest DCS World Weekend News update. Also, check out the comprehensive change log for DCS 2.9.14.8222 released earlier this week.

Two new campaigns

Sunts Simulations and Baltic Dragon have brought out two new campaigns this week. Freeman’s Folly by Sunts is a 16 mission campaign featuring voice overs, images, and interactive ground crew sequences. Meanwhile The Rampagers by Baltic Dragon is a 17-mission campaign featuring CAS, E-CAS, DEAD, pre-planned strikes and more set during Operation Inherent Resolve and making use of the DCS: Syria map and Supercarrier module in addition to the F/A-18C.

    Oooh – Sunts made a campaign…? He’s been a prolific contributor over the years. I think I’m gonna have to pitch in and show him some support!

    Also, I note that the Baltic Dragon Hornet campaign is in collaboration with another dev I’ve never heard of…? What does that mean vs BD’s history of highly accurate campaigns…?

    Can you ping him on that and see what the deal is…?

    DCS has come light years since they first launched the game back 18 year ago. May it go on for at least another 18-20 years!

    I’m sure that many of us would like to see more full fidelity red aircraft like the J-10A, J-11A, MiG-29K, MiG-29M, and the Su-27S, Su-30SM and Su-35S. But I know I’ve posted something similar to this several times before so I apologize. I just wanted to get this out there though.

    the save feature sounds like is going to be the exact opposite of what we have all been BEGGING for. I want to save a campaign when I’m 2 hours in and need to leave for bed or work or whatever. But that is not what this save system is from everything I’ve read. I’m really really pissed

      Yeah it’s a strange thing that they’ve described in their recent comments about it. I’m not actually sure still what its supposed to be, what its supposed to do, or how it will benefit players. I’m hoping for more clarity.

      same. DCS is a big learning curve and time commitment.

      i barely ever play anymore because of that and the fact that’s in super busy all the time, from a job in tech to family stuff.

      I love dcs but just isnt a good use of time to cold start, fly for 20 minutes to get blown out of the sky by stray flak and have to start from 0 again.

      a proper save feature would make the game more accessible to semi-casuals.
