Syria
A DCS World Terrain
We are glad to announce that DCS: Syria is approaching it’s final stages of development. This map covers most of the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea, it includes several climatic zones and territories of 5 states - Syria, Israel, Lebanon, Turkey and Jordan.
Since the times of Ancient Egypt, the Roman and Ottoman empires, large-scale wars were fought across these lands. Thousands of years ago these battles were fought with swords and arrows, today these areas have become the theatres of grandiose air combat.
During the Arab-Israeli confrontation, Soviet MiGs, American Phantoms and French Mirages fought here. And today almost the entire arsenal of DCS combat aircraft and helicopters rises into the sky above this territory.
DCS Syria will bring 32 aerodromes including the international airports of Damascus, Beirut, Adana and Haifa.

Open Beta
DCS World 2.5.6.50726
We have been enhancing the core of DCS World. With your feedback and the release of DCS: The Channel, we have been able to streamline texture and save game pre-loading. We are still working on the F/A-18C Hornet and F-16C Viper features and will share more information at a later date.
For this Open Beta Update, our focus has been on some earlier DCS World modules, with the aim of setting the standard across our range of modules. Various Second World War campaigns by Reflected Simulations have been updated and now include the P-47D Thunderbolt as an AI aircraft. This includes the LF Mk.IX Spitfire The Big Show Campaign.
The F-14B Tomcat by Heatblur Simulations has received aerodynamic updates and increased compatibility with DCS: Supercarrier.
The MiG-21bis first phase cockpit build was pushed to fix bugs in the external model. The volumetric lights for the gauges are new and we look forward to your feedback regarding any FPS loss.

Night Attack
AV-8B V/STOL
The McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing) DCS: AV-8B Night Attack V/STOL is a single-engine ground-attack aircraft of the second generation Harrier Jump Jet family.
The Spanish and Italian Navy both actively operate the AV-8B V/STOL. The Night Attack was first seen causing real havoc with the United States Marine Corps during the Gulf War of 1991. Since then it has served in multiple large operations, most notably the Iraq War of 2003 where 60 AV-8Bs were involved in over 2,000 sorties and enabled 24-hour ground force support. The marvellous machine continues to provide exceptional realism and withholds many features a Hornet Pilot could only dream of.
Capable of vertical or short takeoff and landing (V/STOL), the Anglo-American development is the perfect addition to your aircraft-carrier compatible modules.
