Beta Testing
After the last two Open Beta (OB) releases, we received motivating feedback from our community pertaining to issues in need of immediate attention. We have logged and are actively tracking over 2,500 bugs. In the last week, we have squashed close to 283 bugs and will continue this pace for the next two weeks.
We have decided to change the release schedule of DCS World Open Beta in order to allow for more detailed Quality Assurance and testing periods, but most importantly for our team to fix bugs and enhance performance.

WWII Radars
Freya and Würzburg-Riese
The Freya radar was an early warning system developed by the Germans and technically more advanced than the British Chain Home, but less efficient. Because of it’s smaller size it was semi-mobile. However due to its complexity, only 1,000 units were produced.
The low-band 53cm wavelength Würzburg radar was the primary ground based radar for the Wehrmacht’s Luftwaffe. During the war, the Freya and Würzburg pair made for excellent ‘spot and track’ systems capable of determining enemy aircraft range and altitude.
The Würzburg-Riese known as the Giant Würzburg was developed based on the same circuitry and featured a much larger 7.4m antenna and more powerful transmitter able to provide up to 70 kilometers of range. The Würzburg-Riese was used to direct pilots towards incoming aircraft. Over 50,000 bombers were traced and shot down using these radars. They are significant corner stones and mark the beginning or electronic warfare.
We are excited to share our progress and look forward to your battle reenactments using these models and the countermeasure tactics needed to cope with German radar coverage.
