Eagle Dynamics revealed the full list of the assets that will be included in the upcoming Pacific Theatre of Operations 1944 Assets Pack.
The module is desigend to help you simulate World War II in the Pacific, in support of the recently released F4U-1D Corsair and Marianas map, on top of the upcoming F6F-3 Hellcat. Incidentally, we also hear that a playable A6M5 Zero is also coming.
It includes air, ground, and naval units for both the United States and the Empire of Japan, focusing on the summer of 1944.

If you’re unfamiliar with DCS World, it’s a free-to-play flight simulator focusing on military aviation from World War 2 to the present day. It’s available exclusively for PC.
While the sim is free-to-play, it pretty much requires paid modules to be fully enjoyed, including aircraft, campaigns, and maps. That being said, the Eagle Dynamics has a robust free trial program that was just updated.
You can try the following modules at no cost for 15 days every six months.
- South Atlantic Map
- Kola Map
