DCS World 2.0.5 Update 1
Today we will be updating DCS World 2.0.5. The primary feature of this update includes the integration of Leatherneck Simulation’s DCS: AJS-37 Viggen into DCS World 2.0. A roaring Viggen down the Las Vegas strip is a site to behold!
In addition to the Viggen, this update also includes many new improvements. Please see changelog in the DCS forum.

DCS: Normandy 1944 Map Live Stream
We have decided it would be best to delay the live stream a bit to come very shortly after the start of the Normandy map pre-purchase and the release of the amazing trailer video that “Glowing Amraam” is working on. We feel the live stream and Q&A will be much more appropriate and useful after the pre-purchase beings.

Apologies for the delay.

New DCS: Normandy 1944 Map Videos
Although the Normandy map was built to support our growing line of World War II products, there is no reason it cannot also be used for the modern aircraft of DCS World. These two videos show one such example: an Su-25 attack mission.

These are un-edited looks at the Normandy map that we believe shows off the outstanding level of detail and the new lighting system.

Regarding DCS World 2.1
Dear all,

Thank you all for your patience following the rather bumpy roll-out of the Early Access ALPHA of DCS World 2.1.

As many of you unfortunately encountered, we suffered some difficulties regarding the Module Updater. This has been traced back to the size of the download and the great number of people trying to access it at the same time (more so than the NTTR launch). We also found some errors in the Module Update code which have since been addressed. We are very aware of this issue and are taking steps to ensure that this never be repeated. We sincerely apologize for any frustration and inconvenience this may have caused.

As an Early Access ALPHA, please be prepared for a lot of bugs and missing features as this is the nature of the beast. The primary function of the Alpha is to gain feedback from a much larger installed base than we currently have at our disposal. This is particularly true for testing the software against the multitude of hardware configurations out there. We welcome all constructive feedback to bring 2.1 swiftly to beta and final release. All of your feedback is being heard and noted, it is helping enormously to prioritize the development tasks and we greatly appreciate your assistance with this effort.

In the coming weeks, we will be rolling out updates that include many new features including more assets pack units, fixes, and adjustments (like lighting) to improve the quality of the product. We look forward to your partnership on this endeavor.

A few notes:

1. Please remove / do not install non-licensed modifications to 2.1. We have seen several cases where such modifications are “breaking” 2.1.

2. Adjust your settings accordingly to your system. Unless you have a bleeding edge system, please do not just set all graphics settings to maximum and expect high performance. Note that several of the Options / Settings have higher values than earlier DCS versions. As such, settings results between versions are not equal.

3. A key aspect of moving to the new deferred lighting and PBR system is also updating all of the objects and cockpits. This process is far from complete and will be an on-going process during the ALPHA and BETA stages.

4. We are aware of the brightness and contrast issues with the new lighting engine and they will be addressed.

5. If you are using VR, please do not run DCS World using Windows Creator, Game mode.

6. If using Deferred Shading, you may wish to set your MSAA and Anisotropic values to zero, and instead enable these only through your graphics cards settings manager.

Best wishes,
Matt

Ma non dovevano fare la v2.5 "entro breve"? Mi sono perso qualcosa?

la 2.1 serve per introdurre la mappa Normandia

la 2.5 non ci sarà finchè non sarà pronta la mappa Caucaso per la versione 2

World War II Bomber Formation Improvements
A key aspect of recreating the air war over World War II Europe will be the creation of realistic bomber formations. Allowing mutually supportive defense in large formations has been an important new feature added to the Mission Editor. Let’s take a closer look at this new feature.

For every formation, there needs to be a formation leader (these were often painted in high visibility colors) that all other flight elements fly in relation to. You will set the formation leader route and tasks as you normally would (a new “Carpet Bombing” has been added in which all members of the formation will drop bombs with the formation leader).

Big formations made up of a number of basic airplane relationships. From smallest to the largest you can set these formation as:
Flight elements (most often 3 aircraft)
Box or Squad - up to four Elements(usually 12 planes)
Group Formation - up to four Boxes(usually 3 Boxes - 36 planes)
Wing formation - up to four Groups(usually 3 Groups - 108 planes)

In order to set the attached flight elements to the larger formation leader element, you will need to select the “WW2 Big Formation” task from Action list of the Perform Task, Advanced Waypoint Actions. You next need to set the Formation Leader by selecting the desired flight element clicking on it or with the “GROUP” drop down list (the formation leader element will then have a line connecting it with this following element). Leaders of "Groups" and "Wing" should follow the "main" leader and members of this "Groups" and "Wings" should follow their leaders. I.e. "Box" elements follow by their "Group" leaders, "Group" leaders follow by their "Wing" leaders and "Wing" leaders follow by main leader.

Next thing you need to set - is flight element position in formation - for members of the "Box"- use "Pos_In_Box" drop down list, for "Box leaders"(members of Group) - use "Pos_In_Group" drop down list,and for "Group leaders"(members of Wing) - use "Pos_In_Wing" list.

Please see the pictures:

1. Members of "Leading Box" has "New Airplane Group #001" as leader and their position determined by "Pos_In_Box" drop down list.

2. Leader of "Right Box" also has "New Airplane Group #001" as leader and their position determined by "Pos_In_Group" drop down list.

3. Member of "Right Box" has "New Airplane Group #010"(leader of this box) as leader and their position determined by "Pos_In_Box" drop down list.

For best results, we suggest using the Close Formation in Options / Formation / WW2 Bomber Element / Close for Combat box formation, or Options / Formation / WW2 Bomber Element Height Separation/ Close for Javelin Down formation.

Additionally, set the formation leader to a cruise speed (not maximum speed) to better allow attached elements to maintain formation and try to avoid drastic course changes in the flight plan.

For the “Carpet Bombing” Task, you need to set it just to the formation leader and it allows you to set the bombing aim point, the quantity of bombs to be dropped and the length this bombs should cover. These settings will then be carried out by all attached formation elements.
