DCS World War II News

In commemoration of the June 1944 D-Day landings, we have several DCS World War II updates we’d like to bring you. We see DCS World War II as a very important component of DCS World and it will continue to grow with new features, content, and numerous improvements. We are just getting started.



Normandy 1944 Map for DCS World Update

Working with the Ugra Media, the developer or the Normandy map, we will be releasing a free update to this map in June. This map is the ideal battleground for our warbirds that focuses on northern France in the summer on 1944.

Coming improvements include: More detailed objects and realistic airfield textures. The textures now reflect the more dusty, lighter, sandy surfaces

Removal of permanent structures from ALG airfields

Concrete surfaces for the airfields of Evreux, Carpiquet, and Tangmere

Shallow water zones along the coastal areas

New stone bridges

More structures like farm houses outside the detailed areas of the map

Added more objects like windmills

Improved performance

Free DCS: World War II Assets Pack Update

To provide a more realistic and populated World War II environment, new assets are being added to the World War II assets pack this month.

Some of these new units include: M12 gun motor carriage

M30 cargo carrier

M2A1/M3 halftrack

StuG IV

Sd.Kfz. 234/2 “Puma”

Sd.Kfz. 7 artillery tractor

Sd.Kfz. 251

Sd.Kfz. 2 Kettenkrad

Horch staff car

Barrage balloons

LCVP Higgins boats

UK soldier

There is no additional charge for all of these new units.

Many new air, ground and sea units will be coming in later updates.



Spitfire LF Mk.IX Update

Also this month will see the completion of the Spitfire with a clipped wing version, the ability to carry bombs, and the ability to mount both a slipper tank or external fuel tank. This will give our Spitfire far more mission capability like cross-channel patrols and ground attacks.

This will make the DCS Spitfire an incredibly accurate simulation of the Spitfire LF Mk.IX, with a fully interactive cockpit, detailed sub-systems, and a professional flight model. Based on hands-on feedback from pilots that have hundreds of hours in the Spitfire LF Mk.IX, we are very proud of this showcase title.



In cooperation with talented 3rd parties, we also have some amazing, new Spitfire campaigns coming to DCS World that take advantage of these new features.



Static Templates Coming to DCS World

Static Templates are sets of objects that can be placed on the map and saved as a single entity. After a template is created, it can be saved and shared with others. Multiple instances of a Static Template can then be placed to create more interesting and populated missions. In addition to statics, AI units can also be placed in the template.



Examples of potential Static Templates include: Atlantic Wall fortifications

Harbor traffic at Le Havre and Cherbourg

Battlefield front lines

Munition and fuel depots

Headquarters units

Airfield support units Static templates allow better performance and faster construction of missions and campaigns. This will be valuable tool to offer even better gameplay content.



DCS: F/A-18C Hornet Update

Our Hornet is now available from both



Our immediate focus is on addressing the most pressing errors and creating a solid foundation from which to start adding the new functions and systems. Additionally, we are working on content like new interactive training missions, single missions, and a campaign!

We also have several new Hornet academic videos to help you learn this aircraft more quickly. More such videos will come as new functions and systems are added:



DCS: F/A-18C Hornet - Episode 10: Air-to-Air Gun





DCS: F/A-18C Hornet - Episode 11: AIM-9 "Sidewinder" Air-to-Air Missile
