Announcement
Today, we are pleased to announce the Early Access features for DCS: Mosquito FB Mk.VI. The Mosquito will be optimised for multi-crew and will be the first two manned, twin-engined WWII aircraft in DCS World. Please have a look at the In Development Screenshots.
All systems and components have been modelled in excruciating detail and include the recent cooling system updates that were made to DCS: P-47D Thunderbolt.
Early Access Features;
-
High-quality external 3D model
-
6 Degree of Freedom fully clickable cockpit with latest visual effects
-
Flight Dynamics based on official reports, our own CFD research and pilot feedback
-
Full Fuel system and optional external tanks
-
Full electrical system
-
Full hydraulic and pneumatic system
-
Propeller feathering
Early Access Armament:
-
4 British Browning .303 machine guns
-
4 Hispano 20mm guns
-
250lbs and 500lbs bombs in the bomb bay and under each wing
The damage model for the Mossie considers the internal wood structure of the airplane and uses each internal element of the aircraft - oil, air, hydraulic and cooling systems, engine, throttle, trim, and the airframes main strength spars and stringers to calculate the visual damage.
We are now able to consider all these factors, which in turn enables us to more accurately simulate damage to the airframe and the effects on the flight model. For example, damage to the wing skin will lead to a decrease in the lift and cause more drag, damage to the spar will cause strength reduction and potentially wing snap under certain strains.
We look forward to sharing further progress, please check out In Development Screenshots.
Features coming after Early Access:
-
Rockets armament
-
Radio units T1154 (transmitter) & R1155 (receiver)
-
The historical accurate navigation system for WWII aircraft
-
Controllable AI navigator/radio operator
When the Mossie becomes available in Early Access, we will be considering feedback from the community and working on the next stages of development.
