DCS: F/A-18C Hornet Available for Pre-Purchase!
Eagle Dynamics SA and Belsimtek are excited to announce that DCS: F/A-18C Hornet is now available for pre-purchase! DCS: F/A-18C Hornet will be the most authentic and detailed simulation we have ever developed, and it will use our unique CFD engine and aerodynamics developed by Belsimtek to create the most realistic flight dynamics possible. Based on exhaustive research in association with Boeing, our Hornet takes advantage of our newly developed simulation engine and it will set a new benchmark for PC flight simulation. The Hornet is a true multi-role fighter that can switch from attacking surface targets to engaging air targets with the press of a button. Equally at home on an aircraft carrier or airfield, the Hornet is equipped with a large suite of sensors...
New reply to Developer Diary
Hello everybody, another week has passed and we have interesting IL-2 news for you once again. First of all, our programmers started the work on the next new gameplay mode: Cooperative. In the start, this mode will include new multiplayer server type, where a player will have to choose an aircraft in a scenario mission. The mission will start once enough players have joined and confirmed they are ready. The aircraft not claimed by human players will be controlled by AI, so the mission will proceed as it was designed even if the server isn’t full. The mission scenario could be nearly anything you could think of – scripting allows a mission designer to create almost any combat situation. Moreover, the multiplayer branching campaigns will be possible,...

Beaufighter Mk. 1F Test
ATAG_Lewis took the Beaufighter out for a test flight during beta v4.49 as Team Fusion Simulations work through correcting the final bugs before releasing v4.5 on Steam. This video shows nearly 50-minutes of footage as he takes the beast into the air of IL2 Cliffs of Dover. Couple of points to note. This is beta testing and features are being added and removed (bugs that is) so this video while representative of beta testing is not guaranteed to show everything that will be available on final release. Next, beta testing of the enamy Ai gunners. TFS are currently running varios server missions to test and change the effectiveness of the enemy Ai at different difficulty settings from Rookie to Ace. The Do-17’s shown in this footage are before those tweaks...
