This is a brief look at the updated AIM-54 Phoenix, released in March 2026. Later on, if there is enough interest, I will prepare the usual load of charts and data in more detail.

This is a rapid look at what has changed with DCS Open Beta patch 2.8.7.42718, which should have fixed and improved the loft dynamics of the Phoenix missile.
As mentioned a few times already, I do not want to commit to a full study of the AIM-54 until it is considered finalised. Thus, this is a quick look at the new missile implementation, starting from the most interesting aspect: the new guidance.
Great news from Heatblur!
