On behalf of the DCS community within the 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment, it brings great sadness to announce the passing of Matt Wagner, Senior Producer and the long time public face and voice of Digital Combat Simulator. After a long and courageous battle with cancer, Matt passed away peacefully on 7 September 2026.​

The loss of such a well-known, respected, and deeply valued member of the community has been felt throughout A/ACD and across the wider DCS community. For so many of us, Matt was a familiar presence for countless years. Whether through his iconic videos, his tireless involvement with the community, or the passion and enthusiasm he brought to Digital Combat Simulator, his contribution to DCS and the people surrounding it cannot be overstated.

All of us knew Matt in one way or another, whether through his unmistakable voice, his videos introducing new aircraft and features, or his genuine love for DCS and its community. He touched so many people through his kindness, professionalism, and dedication, and helped shape DCS into the community and experience that so many of us enjoy today. His absence will be deeply felt within A/ACD, but the impact he made and the legacy he leaves behind will remain with the DCS community for many years to come.

From all of us within A/ACD and the 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment, we extend our deepest condolences to Matt's family, friends, colleagues at Eagle Dynamics, and everyone within the DCS community who had the privilege of knowing him.

See you in the skies, Matt. You will be greatly missed.

ALCON,

Effective immediately, General Staff has updated the Discord Code of Conduct to clarify expectations around the use of alternate Discord servers. Our core policy remains unchanged: no private Discord server is permitted to be created or exist for the purpose of anything related to the performance of Cav duties.

To support consistent enforcement, we have added more detailed language outlining what constitutes alternate or private server use and how it applies within the Regiment. This policy can be found here: https://wiki.7cav.us/wiki/Discord_Code_of_Conduct#5._Private_Discord_Servers.

It used to read: "While we cannot and would not stop people from creating private servers, no private discord server is permitted to be created or exist for the purpose of anything related to the performance of Cav duties. Use only the official 7th Cavalry Discord Server for any Cav business..."

It now reads: "While members are free to create personal or social Discord servers, no private Discord server may be created, maintained, or used for any purpose related to the execution of 7th Cavalry Gaming Regiment duties. On unofficial Discord servers we cannot enforce our rules, and therefore a situation can develop which subverts our rules, regulations, Code of Conduct, and/or the Chain of Command.

This prohibition includes, but is not limited to:

  • Any private server containing multiple Cav members discussing Cav duties, issues, people, or events.
  • Any use of Cav imagery, branding, unit names, ranks, or organizational structure in a private server.
  • Any attempt to coordinate, plan, or conduct Cav-related work in a private server.
All official business, coordination, communication, and membership/leadership Discord activity...
