Development update April 2016 - Hawk

[Ells228]

Hi Guys,

Here is a quick update on Hawk for April.

 

We have been battling with the sound API for DCS getting custom engine sounds working.

Our friends at Razbam have been helping us out trading ideas for what we've done and what they've done. More heads are better than one...

 

So far we have working cockpit engine sounds and are still working on external sounds using the API.

 

That being said, the EFM will be released in the upcoming 2.0.2 patch first (due to release schedule) which will give you the opportunity to fly and give us feedback.

It will then be in the next 1.5 patch whenever that is.

 

I'd like to thank you for your patience in waiting whilst we work through these issues.

 

Look out for the upcoming patch notes posted by ED.

 

We have been reviewing comments on the updated textures and are working to optimise them a little more, plus working on other details to make the whole cockpit better.

 

Thanks,

Chris.

I love seeing DCS 3rd party devs communicating and helping each other :). It was also nice seeing Razbam on Gazelle stream chat.

 

Looking forward to EFM :).

So EFM tomorrow on Nevada ? Great :)

 

If internal sound are ok, it will be ok, I can wait for external sounds :)

It's not due to patch this week as far as I know.

Thanks for the update Chris

Thanks for the update, sounds good so far. Especially the bits about EFM and about optimization. :)

I think i'm wanting it released more for your sanity than our welfare these days, Chris. I still recall you talking about the dream years ago. Last stretch for this, keep pushing, you can hear the crowd up ahead!

Thanks for the update Chris, can't wait to put my hand on the EFM

A german proverb says: "Gut Ding, will Weile haben!" Roughly, "Good work takes time!"

 

We are getting there. Cockpit updated, EFM really cool, and, well, it looks nice! :thumbup:

 

Light at the end of the tunnel...:D

[Alicatt]

And the crowd goes wild :D

Great to hear you are in the home stretch VEAO

Thanks Ells

My sanity has all but gone these days lol

 

I'm not surprised. Its been a long and often rocky road, but at least there is light at the end of the tunnel now ... unless that's a train coming the other way..... :)

 

You're almost there and I'm sure it will be worth it in the end.

 

Kudos to Razbam too for helping out. Nice to see that sort of community spirit and cooperation.

 

Thanks for the update.

AGREED!! It shows me that there is a deep interest in keeping this genre going outside of monetary compensation.

[DUSTY]

Great update. Certainly makes me all warm and fuzzy to hear you guys are working together.

[Ells228]

Yep indeed :)

[Cool Breeze]

Thanks for the update Ells! It's great to hear about developers collaborating to bring the community a better sim!

[bart]

Nice work guy's, and good to hear about the teamwork........way to go :thumbup:

 

Thanks for keeping us in the loop Ells, it really is appreciated.

[SDsc0rch]

good to hear that there is communication between the devs

 

(I've always kinda wondered about that - does EVERYONE have to reinvent the wheel..? for everything in DCS? or is everything shared? )

[Ells228]

Whilst each aircraft is unique, somethings like tying into the core sim can be shared amongst developers.

 

Thanks for your support guys!!

[joey45]

Awesome fantastic news.

[AesclepiusCrow]

Glad to hear we've reached the end. I agree with the others, externals are great but so long as we can put bird to sky, even better!

I finally able to manhandle that hawk. :)

Bad day for hawk as soon i get EFM.

[outlawal2]

Yeah all that work to get the Hawk EFM and I am sure all most of us will see is multiple smoking craters in the ground... Terrible way to treat a fine airframe...

 

Woo Hoo!
