Dear Fighter Pilots, Partners and Friends,
Following the news of Matt Wagner's passing, we want to thank you all for the extraordinary outpouring of support from the community. This week we share a few of your tribute videos and screenshots featuring the tribute liveries for the DCS: F/A-18C and DCS: F-16C.
The refresh of DCS' older 3D models continues, and this week it's the civilian vehicles' turn. The Ikarus bus and ZiU-9 trolleybus have been revamped, and an all-new UAZ-452 van now comes in a wide range of variants and liveries from 1965 to the present day. Take a look below.
Reflected Simulations' DCS: F-14B Speed & Angels campaign, created with former Tomcat pilot Commander Paco Chierici, coming soon for the DCS: F-14B(U). It's 14.99 USD, and owners of the original campaign get 50% off. Learn more below.
Thank you for your passion and support.
Yours sincerely,
Eagle Dynamics
Thank You from All of Us
In Memory of Matt Wagner

Last week we shared the news of the passing of our friend and colleague Matt Wagner. In the days since, we have been deeply moved by this community's response.
The many messages, memories, and tribute videos you created and shared have meant more to us than we can properly put into words. Matt spent years talking to you about DCS, and seeing so many of you talk about him in return has comforted his family and everyone at Eagle Dynamics during a difficult week.

Many of you have also taken to the skies in his honour. This week's screenshots feature the tribute liveries for the DCS: F/A-18C and DCS: F-16C. For years, Matt's videos walked thousands of virtual pilots through every system and procedure on these aircraft, and it feels right that they carry his name. We know he would have liked them. Check out this small sampling of tribute videos; we wish we could thank you all individually. Tupo's Aviation Channel, General_Av8or, Grim Reapers, just to share a few.
Thank you all for kindness and solidarity and for sharing what Wags meant to all.
Static Models Refresh, Part 2
Civilian Vehicles: Ikarus, ZiU-9 and the New UAZ-452

Last week we showed you the first results of our ongoing work to revise DCS' older 3D models. The effort continues, and this time we've turned our attention to the civilian vehicles that populate the roads and towns of your missions.
The Ikarus bus and the ZiU-9 trolleybus have already been revamped. Both keep the familiar look you know from the Mission Editor, but now with the level of detail you'd expect from a modern DCS asset.

We've also built a brand-new 3D model of the UAZ-452 van, available for use in any scenario from 1965 to the present day. It comes with a wide range of modifications and liveries, including versions for airport operations, police, medical services, and other technical and civilian roles, covering both the Soviet era and modern-day Russia. Whether you're dressing an airfield ramp in the 1970s or a modern city street, there's a UAZ-452 to fit.
More models are on the way, and we'll keep sharing the progress with you.
DCS: F-14B(U) Speed & Angels Campaign
By Reflected Simulations

Some dreams are worth fighting for. Speed & Angels, the Campaign, is a joint production between Reflected Simulations and Commander Paco Chierici, a former Tomcat fighter pilot and F-5 bandit, and the creator and producer of the film Speed and Angels and the novel Lions of the Sky. Together, they bring you an epic DCS campaign that weaves story, realism, and immersion into something you don't just fly - you live. Coming soon for the DCS: F-14B(U).
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to fly an actual Tomcat in combat? To feel the pressure of the moment, the skills you learned so very recently bouncing around in your head as you race toward an angry bandit with 1,000 knots of closure? To press into danger after a wingman evaporates from a missile hit? To engage a 4th generation fighter loaded to the gills with deadly missiles and 30mm rounds? Have you ever wondered how you would fare with the weight of the moment resting squarely on your shoulders? Strap in.

The campaign is coming soon for 14.99 USD. If you already own the DCS: F-14B Speed & Angels campaign, the DCS: F-14B(U) version is 50% off on the DCS e-shop at 7.58 USD.
Required: DCS: F-14B(U) Tomcat, DCS: Supercarrier, DCS: Nevada Test and Training Range Map, DCS: Marianas Map, and DCS: Caucasus Map. Localization: English.
Thank you again for your passion and support.
Yours sincerely,
Eagle Dynamics
