With the release of DCS 2.9.24.19998, a new story-driven helicopter campaign was introduced that is set against the turbulent backdrop of modern-day Syria. The DCS: Mi-24 & Ka-50 Peacemaker Campaign puts you at the controls of an advanced, attack helicopter as part of an international force to stabilize a region scarred by years of war.

Syria’s long conflict has left cities in ruins and its people searching for relief. After an appeal to the international community, coalition forces began coordinated operations to push back terrorist forces and restore order. The road to peace is still uncertain, and the fight is not yet over.

Your mission is clear: Provide fire support and help secure contested areas to bring lasting stability to the region.

The Peacemaker Campaign delivers a focused and immersive combat experience of attack helicopter operations on the DCS: Syria Map. It is designed for narrative progression with dynamic battlefield tasks.

Key Features:

• 11 engaging and connected missions.

• Extensive radio dialogue and character interactions.

• Detailed briefings and documentation.

• Multiple objectives:

  • Primary objectives driving the main storyline.

  • Secondary objectives offering optional challenges and added depth.

• Customizable mission difficulty (enemy AI level and composition).

• Extensive radio menu system including:

  • Character communications.

  • Wingman management.

  • JTAC coordination.

  • Objective status updates (current, completed, failed).

  • Mission information and settings.

This campaign supports multiple rotary-wing aircraft, letting you face the same challenges with different aircraft:

• DCS: Mi-24P Hind (50% off until February 25th at 15:00 GMT)

• DCS: Black Shark 2

• DCS: Black Shark 3 (50% off until February 25th at 15:00 GMT)

If you prefer the armored, brute force and troop-carrying flexibility of the Hind, or the precision stand-off lethality of the Ka-50, both aircraft deliver a unique approach to battlefield situations.

The DCS: Mi-24 & Ka-50 Peacemaker Campaign by Eagle86 provides a grounded, immersive attack helicopter experience that emphasizes coordination, situational awareness, and disciplined weapons use. If you are ready to take on the responsibility of close air support in one of DCS’s most detailed theatres, this campaign delivers everything you could want.

We are pleased to announce that FSWeekend[flightsimweekend.com] will return in 2026 with its biggest year yet. More than 60 organizations will participate, and the expanded venue will provide additional exhibition space. Organizers expect nearly 5,000 visitors, making this one of the most significant events on the flight simulation calendar.

DCS: Iraq North Map

Work continues on the DCS: Iraq North Map as part of an upcoming update, with a strong focus on improving realism, landmark detail, and airfield authenticity.

Many airfields have received significant upgrades, including Al-Kut, Al-Taji, Al-Asad, Al-Sahra, Al-Salam, Al-Taquddum, Qayyarah, Kirkuk, Sulaimaniyah, Balad, Mosul, H2, H3, and K-1. These updates incorporate layout refinements, improved surroundings, and better integration with surrounding terrain and locations.

Several new dams and other distinctive terrain features and recognizable geography will be added. These include Alwand, Fallujah, Haditha, Hemrin, the Diyala Weir, Kut Barrage, and Ramadi Barrage. Many of these locations were key strategic points during operations in Iraq. For example, in 2003, the Battle of Haditha Dam took place with the goal of capturing and protecting the dam from destruction by Iraqi forces. It was key to Baghdad’s power network, and its destruction could have caused major flooding along the Tigris River Valley.

To further enhance regional identity, several new, distinctive objects have been introduced, including the Erbil Martyrs Monument, the Qayyarah Control Tower, the Al-Rahman Mosque, the Al-Asad Fire Station, and additional bespoke structures. Alongside these additions, we continue to apply broad improvements to scenes and textures across Northern Iraq to raise overall visual consistency and detail.

Development has now shifted significantly toward the DCS: Iraq South Map, which is currently the focus area of DCS: Iraq map development.

Work is progressing across all core elements, including airfields, cities, road networks, and terrain building. This phase represents the foundation of the southern region, with large-scale layout, infrastructure placement, and environmental work underway to support future detailing and refinement.

We look forward to sharing more as DCS: Iraq South Map continues to take shape and DCS: Iraq North Map moves closer to its next update.

We at Eagle Dynamics are excited to introduce the team behind the Strike Fighter League (SFL). This professional competition is dedicated to preserving and advancing the discipline of strike fighter aviation.

For more than a century, fighter aviation has demanded sharp thinking, physical control, disciplined execution, and fast decisions under pressure. Those attributes are proven through performance. 

The team behind The Strike Fighter League (SFL) set out to create a competition format that emphasizes those fundamentals through organized, rules-based events. The SFL is designed to highlight mastery in a way DCS pilots already respect: standardized setups, transparent scoring, and consistent conditions that reward energy management, situational awareness, timing, geometry, and tactical decision-making. 

Meaningful stakes and structured competition make skill visible. The SFLs intent is to showcase elite virtual pilots, recognize true mastery with clear outcomes, and build a spectator-friendly presentation without compromising the standards that make DCS credible.

If you’re part of the DCS community and you care about realism, high standards, and serious competitive flying, follow the Strike Fighter League. Learn more on their website and join the discussion on Discord.

• Join the official SFL Discord to follow development, provide feedback, engage with a community that loves fighters, and help shape the sport from the ground up.
