Une mise à jour gargantuesque pour DCS World est disponible pour les utilisateurs de l’Open Beta. Dans la longue liste de modifications, on peut noter l’introduction comme prévu dans la road map de début d’année du nouveau cockpit entièrement refait du A-10C Warthog. C’est la mise à jour la plus importante de l’année et si vous possédez tous les modules, il vous faudra télécharger pas moins de 16 gigas de données.
Comme autres éléments notables, on peut noter le mode TWS (Track While Scan) pour le F/A-18C Hornet et les ailes flexibles du F-16C Viper. Le récent JF-17 de Deka Ironwork Simulations n’est pas en reste avec une liste impressionnante d’amélioration et de correction de bugs.
