As mentioned in our previous news letter, July 2012 marks an important milestone in the DCS series with the formal move to the DCS World core system and the pre-purchase release of DCS: Combined Arms. July also marks the release of several new DCS product versions. Note that these are not patches but rather full download versions. These new versions include a new DCS: P-51D Mustang beta, DCS: A-10C Warthog, and DCS: Black Shark 2.

DCS World 1.2.0



Digital Combat Simulator World (DCS World) is a FREE, unified interface for all DCS products; you can think of DCS World as a simulation operating system. DCS modules that plug into DCS World can include aircraft, maps, ground units, campaigns, etc. Not only can DCS World include modules developed internally by Eagle Dynamics, but it can also include those by certified third party developers.

DCS World also includes a FREE Su-25T attack aircraft with missions and a campaign. DCS World not only includes the Graphical User Interface (GUI) that ties all DCS products together in a single installation, but it also includes the global aspects of the simulation world that pertains to all modules. This includes such items at the Artificial Intelligence (AI), rendering system, mission editor, effects, AI units, semi-dynamic campaign system and audio environment.
