Gameplay
Unlike its predecessors, DCS has a modular structure - various models of aircraft, helicopters, ground equipment and theaters of operations (modules) are integrated into a single game.
The basic game environment (DCS World) includes: a graphical interface (GUI), an EDGE game engine created in partnership with Smartgraf [2] , which, in addition to [3] using it in this project, is the basis for some flight simulators [4] , in addition, it has a powerful editor for creating missions and campaigns, thanks to the script component in it, it allows you to simulate very diverse situations and scenarios. This is also facilitated by the fact that the DCS setting includes a large number of existing military and civilian equipment modeled at a high level: aircraft and helicopters of the USSR and NATO countries, tanks, artillery, air defense systems, infantry, ground structures, ships of various types including aircraft carriers.
- A total of 156 weapons, 105 types of ground units, 19 types of warships and civilian ships, as well as 84 types of aircraft controlled by artificial intelligence.
Without additional modules not included in the main package, DCS World is a freeware (free) application that can be downloaded through a special client available on the official website or through Steam . There you can purchase all the additional, paid content.
A theater of the territory of the Caucasus, including the Russian North Caucasus, western Georgia, Abkhazia, South Ossetia, is also included in the basic freeware kit. The game features two aircraft available for player control in DCS World for free:
- Su-25T - with an advanced (AFM) flight model, but a simplified avionics model (SSM) and a “non-clickable” cockpit. The development of the Su-25T from the game Lock On: Hot Cliffs
- TF-51D is a civilian version of the Mustang P-51D, with weapons removed and without armor protection, but with a clickable cabin (ASM), a flight level model (PFM) of professional simulators and a detailed study of all internal systems (cooling, fuel, electric, hydraulic, etc. .). Allows you to get acquainted with the level of development of the modules sold According to the statements of [5] [6] developers - the operation of the internal combustion engine (ICE) at idle is fully simulated - the so-called "slow model". Implemented engine cycles, crankshaft angle, compression, ignition, fuel pressure, oil pressure and temperature. All this is not formal and allows you to feel and understand all the features of the launch and operation of an aircraft ICE. In particular, with improper actions, you can "fill in" and then dry the spark plugs. A thoroughly simulated thermodynamics of cooling systems makes it possible to overheat and malfunction the engine in different modes. After revs above a certain value, the “fast model" of the engine is switched on. This simplification is made according to the technical features of computer simulation [7] and concerns only the features of the operation of the cylinders, while other aspects remain valid. The moments of forces acting on the plane as a whole and its control planes at the set of points of their application arising during blowing, and the gyroscopic moment from the screw , both on the ground and in the air, are carefully calculated.
Using the DCSW platform created by the flagship company Eagle Dynamics, a number of licensed developers from around the world (Third party Developers) also participate in the development of modules besides it. Some of them are known for their products in the world of MSFS and Prepar3D simulators, while others are newcomers to this market.
Theoretically, the module for the DCS world could be anything — a model of a locomotive, boat, car, or even a Garmin- type gadget, in particular, in 2017, the NS430 navigation system was developed for the Mi-8MTV2 helicopter module [8] .
Among the amateur community, there is an opinion that out of many simulators for a home computer with Windows, the degree of modeling of technology in DCS is the highest, which of course does not imply absolute ideality and is a constant subject of criticism and discussion. We should not forget that the modules from third-party developers (Third party developers) have varying degrees of elaboration of technical details and flight model.
Current Status
On January 30, 2018, a single platform version 2.5 was released [9] for all aircraft and maps. Prior to this, there were 2 independent branches 1.5 and 2.5. After the release of version 2.5, version 1.5 was no longer supported by developers .
The current version 2.5 is supported by the developer and is being developed. The graphic, physical engine of the game, AI, interface, logic of the AWACS, electronic warfare, general stability and optimization of the game are being modernized. Eagle Dynamics plans to introduce many new effects. For example, the Prandtl-Gloert Effect , an improvement in the network code, damage model and functional of multi-crew aircraft, for the possibility of joint flight over the network in one aircraft. At the end of 2017, plans were announced [10] for the implementation of Vulkan API support.
The previous version 1.5 supports all modules of aircraft manufactured before 2018, but it does not support TVD created using new technologies, such as Nevada, Normandy or the Strait of Hormuz. It has acceptable performance on outdated equipment.
New surface technologies (T4, T5), introduced in versions 2.0-2.5, allowed to significantly improve the quality of graphics, they also began to support modern graphics adapters with greater efficiency in connection with the transition to API DX11 .
In autumn 2018, the release of a dedicated server version of the platform (dedicated server) is planned, as well as the release of simplified versions of existing modules for users using a mouse and keyboard.
Classification of modules by the degree of development of the flight model and systems
PFM (Professional Flight Model / Professional Flight Model) is a term that appeared in 2011-2012 to refer to DCS modules that are equipped with a sophisticated flight model that is as close as possible to the prototype using numerical simulation methods in CAD ( Computational Fluid Dynamics ). One of the first modules to receive the PFM designation was the 2012 DCS: P-51D Mustang release. At the same time, one should not forget that the module equipped with PFM may not have the elaboration of all systems, in particular avionics and cab clickability. For example, all aircraft from the Hot Cliffs 3 collection: Su-27, Su-33, MiG-29, A-10A, Su-25 and F-15C are designated as PFM, but do not have an interactive cockpit. Actually, the concept of PFM in this specific context is only the flight model of the flight dynamics of the aircraft itself.
AFM (Advanced Flight Model / Advanced Flight Model) - the main distinguishing feature of this modeling system, which appeared in 2004, is the conditional division of the aircraft into many parts, each of which can be applied to a separate moment of force. The use of such modeling methods allows simulating various aerodynamic effects at a higher level than in the SFM, such as stalling, rocking from wing to wing, corkscrew, etc. More advanced modeling of behavior on the ground is realistic physics of inertia, sliding forces, shock absorbers, brake system. Now considered a subspecies of PFM.
SFM (Standart Flight Model) - The oldest flight modeling technique that was used in previous versions of the simulator. Despite the fact that today it is outdated, it allows with fairly high accuracy to adjust the trajectory parameters of aircraft. It consists of three parts: models of behavior in the air, on the ground and in supercritical modes. It is still used for aircraft operated by bots. The last aircraft with SFM (Mig-29) was transferred to PFM on October 10, 2018.
EFM (External Flight Model) - third-party modules are equipped with their own flight models. The exception is Belsimtek's modules, which despite the fact that formally Belsimtek belongs to Third Party Developers, just like the modules from Eagle Dynamics are designated by the label PFM. The principles of modeling in EFM may be different. In particular, similar methods are possible with AFM or SFM. At the same time, EFM models are often criticized by the gaming community for their shortcomings and inaccuracies. These flight models are constantly being developed.
Types of systems and avionics research:
ASM (Advanced system model) - the modules are equipped with the most complete model for the development of aircraft systems and avionics - a detailed simulation of the operation of engines, devices, weapons, radio, electrical, fuel and hydraulic systems of an aircraft. Clickable procedural simulator of a professional level.
SSM (Standart system model) - the modules are equipped with an incomplete, simplified model for the development of aircraft systems and avionics.
6DoF (the abbreviation 6DoF is often used, from the English Six degrees of freedom ) - all modules in DCS have a three-dimensional cabin with 6 degrees of freedom.

Additional Modules
Theaters of War:
DCS: Nevada Test Site
Theater of War module - map covering an area of approximately 366,000 square meters. km The Nevada Training Ground ( NTTR ) has the largest territory available for conducting military exercises in peacetime. The NTTR training ground includes systems that simulate air defense of a potential adversary, mock aerodromes and several target fields. At one time, NTTR was used as a nuclear test site. Today, various military exercises are held here, including one of the most famous - Red Flag, which involves pilots from many countries from around the world. The NTTR map for DCS World 2 includes Nellis and Creech airbases, as well as the notorious Groom Lake airbase (better known as Zone 51 ). In addition, the map includes the city of Las Vegas, McCarran International Airport, several small airfields and the unique Hoover Dam .
DCS: Normandy 1944
Recreates the region of northern France - Normandy corresponding to the historical period after the landing of the Allies in the framework of Operation Overlord . The map contains a number of field airfields deployed by the Allied forces to support the offensive in late June 44. Due to the peculiarities of the region, Normandy has picturesque landscapes: fields, hedges and sandy beaches, on which the combined forces of the Allies landed on day D. DCS Territory: Normandy 1944 covers an area of 267 by 348 km, including major cities such as Caen and Rouen, the ports of Cherbourg and Le Havre, as well as 30 airfields located in France and Southern England. In addition to this, the map reproduces a number of objects of the Sea Wall defensive system, which consists of a network of bunkers, trenches, and coastal guns. In conclusion, it is worth noting that the card supports the seasons of the year. Normandy 1944 uses new landscape design technologies to create a more detailed and realistic surface compared to previous projects. The card is compatible with all DCS World modules, which allows you to place both World War II equipment and post-war samples on it. Map of Normandy 1944 was created by UGRA-MEDIA.
DCS: Persian Gulf
The central part of the Persian Gulf map for DCS World is the Strait of Hormuz - a strategically important place, a sea exit from oil-rich countries to the Indian Ocean. The northern part of the map is limited to the territory of Iran, in the south stands the peninsula of the United Arab Emirates and Oman. For decades, the strait has been one of the most stressful areas of the world, in which military clashes have occurred more than once. In 1988, the events of Operation Praying Mantis broke out when the US Navy sank several Iranian ships.
The map also includes the vast Gulf of Oman - a space for the deployment of aircraft carrier groups. This is a great place to create missions for the new F / A-18 and F-14 modules. Flights are possible both from ground bases in the UAE, Oman, Iran, and from the decks of aircraft carriers. The Gulf map provides an opportunity to recreate a wide range of both real and fictional scenarios of hostilities.
Theaters in development:
Falklands, Syria, Vietnam
Other:
DCS: Fire Line
The firing line 2.5 is an addition to the DCS World flight simulator, in which the player gets under his command air and ground units, including armored vehicles, artillery and air defense systems. Control of entrusted troops is carried out through teams on the map of the theater of operations (theater of operations). When playing in tactical mode, the Firing Line is a typical real-time strategy: the player selects the units and shows them route points, formation, goals, etc. However, if you want to personally intervene in the course of hostilities, the player can always take control of a friendly unit and conduct the battle in the first person.
DCS: World War II Objects
DCS: Objects of the Second World War provides the player with a set of equipment and buildings of the period of the Second World War, including land, sea and air units. Each of the objects, whether it is a tank or a ship, is highly detailed and reproduced on the basis of original documents and photographs. Eagle Dynamics Studio spent several years developing these objects, which, without exaggeration, will become one of the key elements of the setting of the Second World War. DCS Module: World War II Objects is compatible with all DCS World cards.
DCS: NS 430 navigation system for DCS: Mi-8MTV2
The NS 430 navigation system is an optional accessory for DCS World aircraft. Starting with the DCS: Mi-8MTV2 module, the player has the opportunity to install this system in the cockpit, which is a powerful tool for solving navigation problems. The device has an intuitive interface and can be paired with on-board radio communications and navigation equipment. The NS 430 system is especially useful when used in older aircraft that are not equipped with modern communications and navigation.
