We have developed new multi-component physics for the landing gear of DCS: Mosquito FB VI. This system simulates tire and shock absorber dynamics separately, which provides a new and more realistic feeling of how the aircraft should behave while in motion on the ground, especially on rough terrain.

The new system has been added to the Mosquito as an initial proof of concept in particular due to its large low pressure tires and short shock absorber movement range, making it an excellent technology demonstrator. After the upcoming release we will continue integrating the new landing gear physics into other aircraft, both WWII and modern.
Please check out the new landing gear on the Mosquito in the next Open Beta update and write your comments on our forum here: https://forum.dcs.world/forum/783-dcs-mosquito-fb-vi/

One of the most anticipated features is the Airboss (PRIFLY deck) functionality, which will add a new layer of realism and functionality to carrier operations.
The Airboss will offer a superb view of the entire flight deck and provide important information such as weather, carrier speed and heading, and more. It will also give direct control of the carrier’s heading and speed for players to manoeuvre the ship, turn the carrier into the wind for launch and set up recovery operations. An ATC display provides an indication of air traffic around the carrier with integrated radios and Voice Chat interoperability. Arrayed around the PRIFLY deck are a number of video displays such as the landing PLAT camera with further functionality planned such as carrier light management and elevator controls.

We are also making good progress with the finalization of the Briefing Room. This will provide a centralized hub for mission planning and coordination. It will feature a fully 3D briefing room that can be customized per squadron. Each pilot will have a multi-function tablet capable of equipping their aircraft and planning their mission route. The goal of the Briefing Room is to allow both single player and multiplayer pilots to have an immersive and realistic mission preparation phase that places them into the action, even before entering the cockpit. Stay tuned for further updates as we continue to refine these long awaited additions to the Supercarrier module.

Hosted live from the Payerne Military Aviation Museum, get ready for two days of professionally broadcasted virtual flight show action, surrounded by real, iconic aircraft. Have a sneak peek of what is to come in the VIAF trailer.
During the event, Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthogs and DCS modules will be given away, courtesy of Thrustmaster and Eagle Dynamics. There will be interviews and Q&As of 2019 Aerobatics World Champion Louis Vanel, retired fighter pilots, and more...
Of course, everything is done live! Event starts Saturday at 10:00 UTC, on the VIAF Twitch Channel. Find the schedule here and we will see you there!
Thank you again for your passion and support,
Yours sincerely,
