***SOME INFO***
Dear Fighter Pilot, Partners and Friends,
This week we leaked the features set and announced DCS: A-10C II Warthog.
We would like to take this opportunity to discuss some of the features that will
be available. These include the Laser-Maverick, Scorpion Helmet Mounted Cueing
System, AGR-20 APKWS, GBU-54 JDAM, and more.
We continue to improve the Mission Editor (ME) and enhance the Historical Mode filter.
If you want to use equipment from a given era, simply click the clock icon. This will show
aircraft and equipment that were in service within the selected country and year. This mode
can be turned on and off during mission creation if you need to select objects outside of the
chosen year. We hope this will help facilitate the creation of mission scenarios.
Our bug fixing exercise continues at full strength and we trust that the next OB release will be of interest.
Thank you for your passion and support.
Yours sincerely,
The Eagle Dynamics Team A-10C II Warthog

Development Report
We have now completed the flight dynamics research needed for the new
weapons and we are close to completing the cockpit weathered textures.
We are also completing work on the Helmet Mounted Cueing System (HMCS)
and the integration of the Targeting Pod projection window over landmasses
and buildings.
GBU-54
Laser-Guided JDAM
A low-cost guidance kit that combines combat-proven JDAM (Joint Direct
Attack Munition) GPS/INS-based (Global Positioning System/Inertial
Navigation System) navigation with a laser seeker achieving outstanding
accuracy. Unlike the GBU-31 and GBU-38, the GBU-54 can engage moving targets.
AGR-20
APKWS
The 2.75 diameter, 35-pound, laser-guided rocket is known as the fixed-wing
Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System II. The rocket has proven effective in
combat operations over Afghanistan.
We look forward to your feedback on these new weapon systems.
Thank you again for your passion and support,
Kind regards,
