FYI. We are skipping this Friday's update (if any).

Working on development:
CMD Chaff/Flare release program edit. Now you will be able to edit the chaff/flares release program as you see fit

The BLG-66 Belouga cluster bomb is now functional. While smaller in size to the MK-20 Rockeye it is heavier.

BLG-66 / MK-20
Mass: 290 Kg vs 222 Kg
Bomblets: 151 / 247
Bomblet mass: 1.3 Kg / 0.59 Kg

This means that the BLG-66 bomblet carries a bigger punch.

Ať si to strčí někam ... D verzi nemáme a když se neví jak to funguje a jak se to zobrazuje tak je to celý pohádka.

we have an in-game cockpit, still pretty much a work in progress, more enhancements to come in this dept

Swinoujscie, Poland November 28th 2016 – AJS-37 Viggen coming to DCS World!

Leatherneck Simulations, in association with The Fighter Collection and Eagle Dynamics, are immensely proud to announce the development of the AJS-37 for DCS World!

The AJS-37 Viggen is a Swedish double-delta supersonic attack aircraft from the late Cold War. It was the backbone of the Swedish Air Force during the Cold war, serving as the main attack and anti-ship platform.
The AJS is the 90’s upgrade of this 70’s era aircraft, adding several advanced weapons and systems functionalities.
The aircraft was designed around the pilot, with an excellent man-machine interface, supporting the pilot through the smart use of autopilot systems and HUD symbology in order to deliver the ordnance onto targets from treetop level with high speed attack runs.


Key Features of the DCS: AJS-37 Viggen include:

* Highly detailed and accurate 6-DOF (Degrees of Freedom) cockpit.
* Extensive and highly detailed aircraft modelling systems such as:
* CK37 aircraft computer with navigation data, time on target, and fuel calculation systems.
* Data input / output interface and pre-planned data cartridge functionality.
* Automatic dead reckoning navigation and terrain contour matching position update system.
* Flight instrument systems.
* Electrical and hydraulic systems.
* Advanced RM-8A jet engine modelling with thrust reverser, compressor surges and stalls.
* Sophisticated high-resolution air-to-ground radar technology modelling the PS-37/A radar including:

Multiple radar amplifications and filter settings.
Obstacle detection mode.
Memory mode.
Air-to-Air mode.
Highly accurate advanced flight model based on real performance data and documentation.

* Maritime reconnaissance capabilities to determine position, course and speed of vessels.
* Advanced programmable weapons such as the RB-15F anti-ship missile with multiple waypoints and the configurable BK-90 “Mjolnir” Cluster munitions dispenser.
* Detailed modelling of over 14 unique weapons and miscellaneous stores with multiple versions and delivery methods, ranging from rockets, bombs, to advanced air-to-ground missiles such as the command-guided RB-05A and the TV-guided RB-75 “Maverick” missiles.
* Comprehensive 400+ page flight manual.
* Extensive interactive & voiced training tutorials.
* Several campaigns and missions including:

Caucasus campaign
Mini NTTR DACT campaign
Mini Caucasus introduction campaign.
Instant action and single player missions.

This is the product of several years of passion and dedication and we are happy to finally announce the aircraft. We hope you will have as fun learning and flying the aircraft as we have had recreating it.


Sincerely,
The AJS-37 Development team,

Leatherneck Simulations.

Release date?

The aircraft is is in it's final stages of polishing. It's likely noone here will have any time off before or during Christmas, but we don't yet know of an exact day.

How is the F-14 Coming along ?

Development is progressing very well, with a slight dip in production speed due to the impending Viggen release. Mid to late 2017 is looking very likely, but we’ll keep you well informed until then. A HUGE amount of FM and systems work has been developed in the background for this Aircraft, and we are really excited to show it all off starting very early next year.

Will the F-14B have LANTIRN capability? Is the data-link being created?

LANTIRN not decided yet.
And regarding data-link, the early A's and B's are only equipped with really basic datalinks for automatic carrier landing and such.

Will the initial release include the new theater? If not, can you tell us anything new about it?

We’re working hard on terrain development, but we’re not ready to show or speak about details just yet. For now, we’ve focused on producing rich gameplay content for both the Caucasus and NTTR maps, and we will be shipping this in the release and post-release periods. Due to the massive amount of work involved in creation of a new theatre we won't be able to include it in the Viggen as it looks right now. Everything is subject to change though

Japak se asi budou zaměřovat mavericky, když to nemá MFD ..

Can you give us some more info about the radar, how useful is it and what is the main differences compared to F-5E?

It's totally different. It's mainly an A2G radar (the first of its kind in DCS), used to find e.g. ships. It has an A2A mode and is able to see aircraft at closer ranges though, but it's up to you to make them out from the ground clutter. In general, it will require a lot more from the operator than the radar systems already in DCS today.

In this image you can see an example of how it maps different types of terrain on the scope: http://i.imgur.com/7lWUnFa.jpg

K tomu AV-8B.. půjde o verzi Plus ? Když vidím ty dvě MFD, tajně bych v to doufal..ale něco mi říká, že ne.

Oni tu TU-22 nevzdali? Wow.
