F/A-18C
Cette newsletter confirme que le Hornet sortira bien entre Avril et Fin Juin
Que la pre-commande est un succes (bon je vois mal ED annoncer dans une newsletter « c’est un échec » …)
La pre-commande apportera également un bonus de 16$ et cela c’est une bonne nouvelle et un geste « notable » pour pouvoir acheter le kit PA qui sortira par la suite ….
Comme quoi quand il y a du bon on le souligne aussi !!
Plus d’infos sur le forum C6
Yak-52
Ce dernier avance bien:
- Nouveau moteur de modélisation des moteur à pistons, qui servira pour un prochain P47-D.
- Nouveau modèle de vol, un dev FM de chez ED a pris place en backseat durant des vols de voltige pour peaufiner ce dernier .
(NDC6 et surement revenir tout vert 🙂 ) - l’équipe travail pour implémenter un mutli crew élève/moniteur (ca devrait plaire à pas mal de monde !!)
La suite sur C6 !!!!
DCS: Yak-52 Update
Although the Hornet and DCS World 2.5 have been in the spotlight lately, the Yak-52 is making great progress and will introduce some great new technologies that will benefit the future of DCS World.
- We are creating a new radial piston simulation engine from the ground up with a highly-realistic engine cooling model. This will have great benefits for future DCS aircraft like the P-47D Thunderbolt.
- One of our staff members is also Yak-52 aerobatic pilot! We’ve had our flight engineers in the back seat to get the flight model and quirks of the aircraft just right.
- A very important aspect of the Yak-52 are the flight dynamics and post-stall behavior. Our team has been making substantial progress to making our Yak-52 fly just like the real one, including edge-of and out-of-envelope maneuvers. She really will be a blast to fly!
- We are also working to include cooperative multiplayer to allow both pilot and student in the same aircraft.
- When played in VR, the detailed cockpit very much comes to life.

Equally at home on an aircraft carrier or airfield, the Hornet is equipped with a large suite of sensors that include radar, target pod, and a helmet mounted sight. In addition to its internal 20mm cannon, the Hornet can be armed with large assortment of unguided bombs and rockets, laser- and -GPS-guided bombs, air-to-surface missiles of all sorts, and both radar- and infrared-guided air-to-air missiles.
DCS World provides the most rich and authentic digital battlefield for the Hornet to fly in.
