New DCS: NEVADA Test and Training Range Map Images

The last big feature is now added to the Nevada map update: the Tonopah  Test and Training Range (TTR) Airfield. We consider this the cornerstone  of the update. Not only does the TTR airfield act as a divert airfield  for Red Flag exercises, it was also home to the Red Eagles (Soviet  fighters flown by US aircrews) and the F-117 stealth strike aircraft.

This airfield also greatly extends flight distances between airfields; a common request from our online players.

Today we offer a pair images of the TTR airfield.

A questo punto è palese che hanno cambiato politica sugli sconti. Sto facendo il raffronto con i miei vecchi acquisti degli anni scorsi (dello stesso periodo) e non c'è storia.

Comunque non li biasimo, adesso stanno facendo la "grande migrazione" alla 2.5 e hanno diversi altri progetti aperti, è ovvio che hanno bisogno di fondi.

Aspetterò verso natale, sperando ci sia qualcosa di veramente conveniente.

Ammetto comunque che se ci fosse stato il pacchetto NTTR+M2000 ad un prezzo più che ragionevole (<=40€), l'avrei preso sicuramente.

Cosa intendi Sky? Che hanno aumentato gli sconti per finanziarsi?
O che l'anno scorso era più bassi o più alti quest'anno?

No, tutto l'opposto, hanno diminuito gli sconti.

Per farti un esempio, ho acquistato il modulo Mig-21 il 4 gennaio 2015 a 17$ (circa 15€) in sconto.

Da più di un anno a questa parte quando fanno gli sconti, questi sono nettamente inferiori agli anni passati. Da quando hanno rinnovato il sito non ho mai visto il Mig-21 scontato a quella cifra...

Oppure, per farti altri esempi,  l'F-86 acquistato l'8/12/2014 a circa 13€ o il P-51 a 10€...

 

[Djmitri]

Si in effetti avevo notato anchio che hanno diminuito un po la % di sconto rispetto a qualche tempo fa... Infatti non ho più comprato nessun modulo... [anach11]

L'ultimo che ho preso è stato il Nevada, utilizzando però i bonus sul sito e pagandolo circa 20 € (preso molto bene direi  [:headbang] ).

DCS World War II Update

Work continues at great speed on new elements of DCS World War II. Much of the work is focused on DCS: Spitfire LF Mk IX and the Normandy map, and both are, or will be soon, going into internal test! This is always a good sign that we are approaching an Early Access release. In addition to the Spitfire and WW II era map, we also continue working on new AI units to inhabit the map. Last week we had a look at the Tiger tank, this week we offer first looks at the Panther and a work-in-progress image of the B-17.

DCS: NEVADA Test and Training Map Update

In previous newsletters, we shared images of the new airfields coming to the NTTR map. In addition to the airfields though, we will also be adding many new small and large urban centers like St. George, Laughlin, Tonopah, Goldfield, Caliente, and many others.

DCS: F/A-18C Hornet Update

Although most of the art work is done for the Hornet (minus a few external stores), most of the current work involves the coding of the various systems and flight dynamics. In addition to that, we are also very busy with documentation and the refining design specification as we gather new information.

Once the project gets closer to Early Access, we can start talking more about this project.

DCS World 2.5 Update

In addition to the Hornet, NTTR, and DCS WWII tasks, another high-priority task for us is wrapping up DCS World 2.5. The primary function of 2.5 will be to combine both 1.5 and 2.0 into a single executable and thereby being able to access all maps from a single program. We are close with the last two big items being the resolution of how we will render forests and trees in 2.5 and updating some of the old objects to our current format.
Once those two items are addressed, we will start releasing some new images and videos of what is in store.

Steam Sale

Also starting today and lasting for the next four days, Steam is having a sale on all DCS World products, with a 30% discount!
