The new update for DCS World removes the single thread version. The Multi-Thread version will now be found in the bin folder by default. The Eagle Dynamics team states that MT DCS will work in backwards compatibility mode with shortcuts, but feedback from users still indicates that some features are incompatible with MT.

DCS 2.9.8.1107 changelog

• DCS application. Single Thread version of DCS removed, bin folder now contains MT DCS and is duplicated in mt-bin for backward compatibility with shortcuts and will be removed soon.
• Several performance improvements were activated after profiling of certain missions and concepts of usage. Intense battles will be affected the most: targets and shooting detection by AI units as well as launchers’ line-of-sight routines are revised, major parts of the performance-consuming code moved to a parallel thread.

Just before the announcement of Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, we saw the Deadstick project while the flight sim market was in a mulberry tree. Obviously, the flight simulation community and market has come a long way in the last 6 years. Let’s see if Deadstick – Bush Flight Simulator can satisfy you with its unique semi-open world structure. What improvements have been made to the project? What are the new plans? With MSFS2024 approaching, alternative projects like Deadstick are getting really difficult.

In the video below, Chris Cheetham, founder of REMEX Software, gives the good news for those who follow the simulation closely.

To highlight some of the main topics of this video:

• New Deadstick publisher, Mythwright.
• New Deadstick developer, Spiral House.
• Deadstick development updates – incoming and more transparency with the community.

Developer says “The reason we have decided to work on Deadstick is because we believe in it, and want to make sure it becomes a reality. Our aim is to share as much with you, our community as possible between now and launch. This will be a range of information from developer diaries, short videos/gifs, to screenshots of the game being developed – not all news will be a major update but we want to make sure you are along for the journey, you can also join us on our Discord to chat with other pilots.”

The DHC-6 Twin Otter is the ultimate go-anywhere aircraft. It was built to reliably and safely go where other aircraft don’t stand a chance.

It can land on tarmac runways, mudflats, water, sand, snow, ice and does regular scheduled flights in both of the Polar Regions and to airports at extreme altitude as well as on tropical islands.

Optionally equipped with skies, tundra tires and floats there will be no place where the trusty Twin Otter will not be able to take you. With versions for cargo and passengers, 100 and 300 models and different engines we cover the whole range of this amazing aircraft.

One of the main reasons the Twin Otter still performing well after years is its rugged design. A fixed landing gear that is strong, light and cannot fail. A tall wing that keeps the engines clear of debris and is designed for STOL operation. Besides the PT6A-20 turboprop engine manufactured by Pratt & Whitney Canada is one of the best engines ever built.

The aircraft has been completely new designed for Microsoft Flight Simulator and use the latest design, system and flight model technology.

Start your flight adventure today and explore the globe in the aircraft that was built for any terrain!

Like previous years, this year’s survey has an emphasis on the major flight simulators such as Microsoft Flight Simulator, Lockheed Martin Prepar3D and Laminar Research X-Plane, but now also includes questions about simulators on mobile devices, combat simulators, and helicopter simulation.

Take the survey here: www.surveymonkey.com/r/flightsimsurvey2020?partner=navigraph

Help Spread the Survey

We also appreciate if you post the link to the survey in social media encouraging other fellow flightsim pilots to take the survey. Last year 17,000 respondents contributed to the survey. With an unusual year behind us, we think the turnout for the 2020 survey will be even higher.

New Sims, Covid-19, VR, and more

This year we have added several new questions to reflect current events of the past year. (Don’t worry, we have also removed some questions.) For instance, given the introduction of Prepar3D v5, X-Plane 11.50, and Microsoft Flight Simulator, we are asking if you have switched simulation platforms, and whether this transition resulted in any changes in your simulator hardware setup. We are also asking if your simulation habits have changed during the past year, with particular in-depth questions on virtual reality.
