Air To Ground Updates for the JAS-39 Community mod. Still very WIP. A few noticeable additions are the rain droplets on the canopy, the new emergency page for the center display, new TGP functionalities, master arm + trigger safety + jettisons and finally the countermeasure page and its functions.

Dear Fighter Pilots, Partners and Friends,
our DCS World Autumn Sale has started and will run until the 6th of December at 15:00 GMT. Please enjoy up to 50% discount on many of our most popular modules.
We will also be participating in the upcoming Steam Sale.

Thank you for your passion and support.

Yours sincerely,
Eagle Dynamics Team

In the last open beta update, we introduced improvements to the guidance of the AIM-120 C/B, these were focussed on the resistance of the missile to ECM, including the jammer “blink” effect, along with some changes to aiming error distribution and the datalink logic.

This was the second step in the development of our new guidance and seeker logic for the missile, the first being the implementation of a completely new INS and datalink for the weapon, which has greatly improved that stage of the missiles flight in both supported and unsupported engagements.

The next stage in the development will be a new range gate mechanism, and other work to improve the resistance of the missile to the defensive notch, and further improve the terminal guidance.

We are taking a step-by step approach to the development to be sure that we have each preceding stage operating as it should, before moving on to the next. The AIM-120 is an incredibly complex weapons system, and we need to take a methodical approach to it development, taking into account the many reports that we receive from our testers and Open beta customers. Any issues in areas of the guidance yet to be improved will become more apparent as previous stages are improved, and that helps us to pinpoint problem areas and ensure that they are addressed.

We look forward to bringing you further news on the continued development of the AIM-120.


Thank you for your passion and support, and we’ll see you in the skies,

The Eagle Dynamics Team

As has mentioned a few times over the past few months, most of the team that were assigned to the Hornet have moved their focus onto the Viper. However, we’ve still have staff on the Hornet with the focus on completing the Automatic Carrier Landing System (ACLS) and correcting bugs. Please see our change logs for the long lists of corrected Hornet items.

Following early access exit, development will certainly not cease. When development resources allow, we all plan some additional changes and improvements regarding:

• MSI tuning and some functions
• Radar tuning
• Flight model and FCS tuning
• ATFLIR tuning including offset logic
• HARM tuning
• Flight Director Mode
• Static MUMI Page
• GBU-24 auto-pilot
• TALD

We also hope to add the Mk-77, Multiple Fuze Types, IAM Terminal Settings, Loft Mode IAMs, and GEN-X, but these rely on tasks outside of the Hornet.

Bombing in CCIP mode

Here our impact point is within the HUD FOV and the CCIPSL will detach from the velocity vector and remain parallel with the HUD glass - this provides a good indication of the bomb fall line even in a bank as seen here
The CCIPSL represents 16 degrees of elevation in total; the solution cue (horizontal line) appears at the 12deg mark to indicate a valid solution. The bombs will impact where the solution cue intersects the CCIPSL

As you can see, these older HUD designs did not have the sophisticated clipping masks present in modern HUDs - display elements can & will clash against each other (you can see here how the pitch ladder clashes against the speed and altitude tapes)

Here we can see CCIP mode for Rockets (same for guns) which uses a simple diamond pipper instead. The solution cue appears at the top of the diamond when in-range (not shown here)

Today we would like to introduce our new AI aircraft Flight Model to you. This new FM, which we have named General Flight Model (GFM), will initially be rolled out across all fighter jets and then step by step to WWII AI aircraft. Note that our Helicopter AI FM is already flying with a similar GFM using Rigid Body Physics, contact model and complex rotor physics. This extensive development is still very much work in progress and we look forward to providing you more details in the new year.

We are using DCS: MiG-29S Fulcrum C as an effective test bed for developing the characteristics of crosswind take off and landing, strafing, re-joining formations, general aerobatics, turbulent conditions and air-to -air engagement. Take a look at an example of the new GFM in this: DCS World General Flight Model development video. The lead aircraft is being flown by our Chief aerodynamics and physics expert, Dima ‘Yoyo’ Moskalenko and the other 3 aircraft are AI controlled. Did you notice how No 4 pilot couldn’t handle the super tight loop at minute 4:35 and got out of formation, into turbulence but still managed to get stuck back in? Enjoy!
