We are preparing to launch the DCS: CH-47F into Early Access, along with the new DCS: Afghanistan map. Much of the remaining work focuses on the cargo carrying functions, damage model, flight control systems, and avionics. We are also working on the countermeasure systems and door gunners. Furthermore, we are pleased to introduce new pilot models that will enhance the visual authenticity of the cockpit experience.
Based on the results from recent internal and external testing, we have decided to move the launch date to the 3rd of July, 2024. This is your last opportunity to take advantage of the DCS: CH-47F -30% pre order discount that stays valid until launch! Consequently, we have decided to move the whole of our upcoming major update to the same date. So hurry and get your hands on DCS: Afghanistan also with the -30% pre order discount before time runs out.
