GoodEvening @everyone 

We have been getting allot of PMs from you guys regarding the progress on our DEV Team,
So here is a quick update regarding our progress and the current progress on becoming a 3rd party developer for DCS.

First of all i want to mention us as developers have personal lives and this is solely a hobby that we want to do. With that regard we do wish to bring our utmost best work to you and the DCS community.

We are currently preparing proof of concept to show to ED, They need specific points that we need to follow including a development plan,
This is needed to gain the license required.

For our development plan we chose to work on the Netherlands, For the future we might want to expend to the Benelux and further.
At the moment we are still focusing on the conditions that are needed to get accepted into the Dev license.


Here is the current WIP on Schiphol. This is not final cut and still needs allot of work.

Time for a quick update on our DCS World projects.... DCS MB-339A ***
Testing on the DCS version of our MB-339A project is moving forward at a steady pace and we are quite happy with the results so far. At the same time we are finalizing the implementation of the (very few) missing features: our target is to try and deliver a fully-featured package right from the start, trying to skip the "Early Access" approach. In detail, the entire synchronization logic of the multicrew is currently being written, which will allow you to share the plane with your friend by interacting in every phase of flight. We are also working to complete the implementation of the AHRS/GPS system which allows the pilot to always have all navigation data under control. The AHRS/GPS also allows the pilot to activate a flight plan and/or modify it, enter or update mission data such as waypoints and target points (a flight plan can have up to 99 nodes), mark point acquisition, position updating, automatic/manual steerpoints selection. As for a release date, we are still aiming for Q1 2022, but the final release date may be affected by the testing process, and in any case our policy is "it is done when it is done".

DCS G.91 **
While our DCS coding department is working hard on the MB-339, our art department has made some progress on the G.91, so here are a couple of renderings of the cockpit: we are prioritizing this part of the model as we think it will create a solid base for the rest of the development process. We are quite happy with the results so far and we are looking forward to add the G-91 to the family of Cold War DCS fighters.

More F-16 mini-updates, focusing on L16 and IDM sharing for the HTS, including time difference of arrival (TDOA) mode, as well as progress on ITR and G-onset rate.

Quote

Today we completed internal integration of L16 and IDM sharing of HTS/HAD emitter contacts. This will allow you to designate and share emitter location between Flight, Team, and Donors. Additionally, sharing of emitter triangulation data between flight members is also internally complete as part of the TDOA option from the HAD page.

We've made further adjustments to SPI sharing regarding accurate HSD symbology that includes Flight/Team member ID.

Finally, we've made good progress on adjustments to the ITR and G-onset, and internal verification tests will probably start next week.

If testing goes well, we plan to have it included in the next Viper update.

Progress on datalink is going well, but we still have some significant items to still complete.

Kind regards,

Matt

*SA-342 Gazelle development update – Feb 2022 *
 
Specific updates to the DCS SA-342L Variant 
 
The Gazelle L version, currently equipped with the GIAT M261 20mm cannon and Telson 8 68mm rocket pod will see a number of significant updates in the next few months to make this platform more versatile and useful in the DCS ecosystem. Some of the updates will be aesthetical while others will expand its capabilities.  
 
In the past months we have started work on making the L’s weapon pylons modular. This means you are no longer forced to carry the Telson 8 launcher and the GIAT as your standard loadout. Instead, you will be free to choose to fly without weapons attached or from an expanded number of armament options in the loadout screen or the rearm menu. Going with the mentioned modularity might just open the door to merging a number of DCS SA-342 variants of which there are currently 4. While working on the modularity update, we are also investigating improvements in regards to multicrew. Work on this is still very much in progress and will not yet be available in the next DCS update.  
 
Work has been completed on an option to take the doors of the SA-342L off, which besides being aesthetically pleasing, gives you an unprecedented outside view. Taking the doors off (and putting them back on) can be done through either a mission editor option or through the ground crew menu while on a mission. This feature is ready to be released in the upcoming patch. 
 

Nonspecific SA-342 variant updates 
 
By popular demand we have also finished the implementation of the purely aesthetic dipole antennas that can, again, be attached or detached from the armament screen in the mission editor as well as in the rearm menu while on a mission and are thus completely optional. The dipole antennas are iconic for the UK’s Westland Gazelle’s. The new FLIR camera shader has been implemented for the Viviane targeting camera and the first batch of high-quality community liveries have been integrated. The first batch includes liveries for Cyprus, The Netherlands, France and Portugal. 
 
Bug fixes this round include, among other things, a long overdue fix for a bug that caused the Gazelle to disappear completely when killed in multiplayer, not rewarding points nor satisfaction of a confirmed kill.  The complete list of bugfixes and additions will be posted when the patch drops.
