The MiG-29A is heading to Steam pre-order while DCS: South Atlantic is set to pick up a series of updates that will move it out of early access. This is the DCS World Weekend News report!
Pre-order heads to Steam
We’ve learned that DCS: MiG-29A is now available on Steam for pre-order. It’s another step in what is surely to be seen as another good sign that the Fulcrum is coming out to early access sooner than later.
The pre-purchase price right now includes a 30% discount with a 20% discount being offered during the initial launch. This is part of the early access process with MiG-29 not having every feature at launch. The post launch aircraft will add a GCI command system, detailed IFF model, flight manual, a campaign and more missions and liveries.
South Atlantic update
Some big changes are coming to DCS: South Atlantic. According to the news report, the map will see every airfield get an optimization pass while texture fidelity is being improved. A new vegetation system will allow for denser, more natural, coverage. Airfield lighting is getting a pass too with new updates and corrections to the PAPI lights. Animated radar units and wind turbines are also being added together with new airfield objects.
This update will reportedly bring the map to a feature complete state and exit early access. The 20% discount on the map remains in place until then.
Notably, the map appears to have fully shed its RAZBAM ties and is now formally listed as being developed by Specter Studios complete with its own section on the DCS World forums. This may have actually happened some time ago but I’ve only just noticed it now.
