Following its release last week, DCS: La-7 has picked up some positive comments from around the DCS World community. Like all early access releases, there is still work to be done and Octopus G has detailed some of that via a Facebook post. Let’s take a look and what the post launch plans are.

Asset pack, pilot model, and more

It’s always good to know that a new module has a strong future and it does look like developer Octopus G has some plans well underway. While they do plan to monitor feedback and respond with fixes to anything that isn’t working as intended, they also have some interesting items in development.

A new pilot model is being prepared which includes a first-person view option. If you prefer your cockpit to have a body in it, that should make for some good news.

Another item on the list is something of an asset pack. Several assets are planned though the specifics are not mentioned at this time. This may help, slightly in any case, the La-7 not being an aircraft that fits into the time and maps available for DCS WWII. On the other side of the coin, it does have solid rivals with the Fw190D-9 and Bf109K-4.

Other items being added include missing training missions, gameplay missions, missing sounds, and a radio system.

Stay tuned for more from Octopus G!

  1. I think DCS World needs more WWII aircraft in the sim. I know it is easier said than done, but I see potential for more aircraft being made in the near future. Personally, I would like to see an IL-2 Model 1944, IL-10, Yak-3 and a Yak-9U materialize one day, and a late war Eastern Front map to go with it of course to suit the era of these planes. I know the planes would have to be made by various third parties though if we want to see quicker progress. But I’m sure Yugra-Media could make the map though. They could base it off of the 1980s German map, though again easier said than done.

  2. I also think a map for Leningrad should be made for DCS World. I think it would sell well inside Russia as well as with Finland – plus it would give the I-16 a native map. And since the Siege of Leningrad went from 1941-early 1944, this could lead inciting the development of German, Soviet and Finnish planes from 1941 to 1944. Just a thought.
