Dear Fighter Pilots, Partners and Friends,
This week’s DCS update brings major improvements across the simulator, including AI, weapons, logistics, and overall stability. The DCS: F-16C, DCS: F/A-18C, DCS: AH-64D, DCS: JF-17, and more receive notable avionics and gameplay refinements, while many official campaigns have been updated alongside the arrival of three brand-new campaigns. Check out the highlights below or read the full changelog for all the details.
We are thrilled to share the results of the DCS: C-130J Livery Contest. With over 50 entries, choosing the winners was tough. Congratulations to Tactical Bear, ouky1991, and SkyDragon for earning the top three spots. Mike Busutil also deserves a special mention for completing the bonus challenge with his impressive Tiger livery. Plus, six more great entries will be added to DCS soon. Thanks to everyone who took part and made this contest a success.
Reflected Simulations returns with a new WWII experience in the latest update: the DCS: Spitfire Fight or Die Campaign for the DCS: Spitfire LF Mk. IX and DCS: Normandy 2. Step into the cockpit as a young Polish pilot joining No. 92 Squadron in 1941, as the RAF shifts from defence to offensive operations over occupied France. Featuring 12 historically researched missions, extensive voice acting, authentic procedures, and richly detailed briefings, this campaign delivers a gripping recreation of early Spitfire operations.
Thank you for your passion and support.
Yours sincerely,
Eagle Dynamics
DCS 2.9.26.23111.1 Update
New update and new campaigns!
This week, we released an update bringing a host of changes and fixes across DCS. Check out the full changelog here and the highlights of many of the changes below! DCS Core The latest DCS Core update improves AI behaviour, resource management, and weapon systems. AI aircraft now feature smoother takeoffs, climbs, and landings, improved pursuit logic, and more reliable low-altitude wingman actions, with several aircraft-specific issues also resolved.
For logistics, warehouse management now ensures the availability of Igla missiles during rearming. Weapons updates revise SD-10 missile and adding more simulated blocks to it like INS and new seeker, reduce ballistic missile radar cross-sections for realistic detection, add new fuze options for the AN/M-64 bomb, and provide major fixes to the Kuznetsov and SHORAD SAM guidance, tracking, and ECM response logic.
DCS: F-16C Viper by Eagle Dynamics In this update, you’ll notice enhanced avionics accuracy, more dependable weapons employment, and improved datalink functionality. This update also addresses SMS, FCR, TGP, and WPN page status indications, bomb profile retention, CCIP designation accuracy, HARM station settings, AA TACAN behaviour, and donor track reception over datalink.
On top of these improvements, we’ve fine-tuned HSD cursor logic, intercom behaviour, targeting pod damage states, and Emergency Power Unit operation. We’ve also expanded the Early Access guide with a completely revised FCR chapter and updated descriptions of HOTAS controls, Time-Over-Steerpoint (TOS) logic, new steerpoint types, datalink procedures, HTS functions such as TDOA, and updated Appendices to help you get the most out of your flying experience.
DCS: F/A-18C by Eagle Dynamics This update brings improvements to avionics and sensors. Recent fixes address waypoint creation logic, TACAN unit conversions, and radio functionality. You will also see Improvements to ripple delivery accuracy with CCIP/AUTO.
Sensor updates include corrections for TPOD INR symbology and reduced ATFLIR cursor jitter. As well as fixes with the ATFLIR automatic level and gain behaviour. IR pointer tracking is smoother with NVGs. RWR contact identification fixes further improve situational awareness.
