AesclepiusCrow Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 (edited) Given the recent VEAO thing, what is the feasibility of those who have the Hawk using Hawk assets such as the 3d model (which obviously cannot be shared) to create an advanced community mod similar to the Skyhawk? The assets are there (for those who own the Hawk) and could ideally be reused. This could even solve a lot of the Hawk's complaints since we the community could fix it ourselves in the spirit of the A-4 mod, finishing the original and coming together to make something better. Thoughts? Also, do not complain about VEAO in this thread. Go to the VEAO thread for that or PM a mod for your warning in advance. Its old news now and its time to move forward on what we can create from this event. This post is strictly for discussing the feasibility of community sourcing a Hawk mod out of pre-existing Hawk assets. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Edited November 29, 2018 by AesclepiusCrow
ST0RM Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 Hawk is property of VEAO unless there was an agreement to forfeit all work if they failed to meet standards and obligations. Long story short, its highly doubtful the community would be given a module that has the SDK elements to part out for a freeware anything.
AesclepiusCrow Posted November 29, 2018 Author Posted November 29, 2018 I meant more along the lines of the flyables mods we see. Using the Hawk model, but building a high level mod to fill in the systems VEAO had. I'm not sure many would want to keep those systems being so incomplete. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Only small additions could be made,like adding new weapons or texturing the template of the aircraft,but in terms of working with systems and for the already made flight model for example it's under SDK .

fl0w Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 The 3D model of the Hawk is only property of VEAO. Even if those were willing to re-code the aircraft systems and institute it as a free mod for DCS, the whole thing would have to be done from scratch. It would be an awesome thing to see in DCS, but currently it isn't possible.
