Free Maps and World War II Assets Pack for Dedicated Servers
In this week’s Open Beta, we have enabled dedicated servers using the no-render option to use all DCS World maps and the Assets Pack for free!

Features of the Dedicated Server include:

• Run a server without the need of a render. This allows a server to need less RAM and only a very simple video card.
• The CPU load is lower, so you can use a less-powerful CPUs or run more complicated missions instead.
• You can run multiple copies of a Dedicated Server on one PC. Computer capabilities can be used more fully when you start servers in different CPU threads.
• A Dedicated Server can be controlled remotely via WebGUI.
• Although we have tested extensively internally and with several community servers, there may be non-official scripts that will not function well with a Dedicated Server. We ask that you report such issues and/or avoid using non-supported scripts
