By way of an update

Thank you for the update Pman, You guys have to do what it takes, good luck. I for one have no complaints.

I have plenty of complaints, but I'm not one of those people that yells them everywhere expecting the developer to be motivated to work 24 hours a day, and if that´s not enough, use the night, too.

Some people think that software development, especially outside the source code, is easy af, that you just write lines of code and presto, you have a working product. And if a bug remains in a game multiple update cycles after it has been known about then the devs are just lazy since it's so god damn "simple to fix".

Apparently to them, compiling code after a change and testing to see if it worked takes no time at all...

People complain, complain, complain...and I wonder: Do they have nothing else to do but complain about DCS?

There are other things they could be doing/playing/flying, and come back to DCS in a couple months...

Because, no offence, what is so special to them about the Hawk that they can't live without a working, flawless version in DCS?

I bought it too, it´s been shelved for a long time now<.<

Here´s to you, VEAO. It'll be done when it´s done.

Kindly please continue working on Hawk, there are no reasons to bash this module. It has been very difficult for you guys to develop it into high fidelity module, we know. However maybe you could partner with another 3rd developer to continue fixes, updates and support on your behalf so you may focus on DCS P-40?

What I would like to see that is is MP viable. I recall it has been flying zombie even with extensive damage, hit multiple times with missiles and still capable to fight and hit back.

Pman, what about our beloved long time awaited Tiffy ? Please don't let that project fly away. With all the effort of having the contract with military - PLEASE DON'T!

Wish you guys all the best!

Piotr.

Thank you for your support, it is not easy or everyone would be doing it ;) We've spent all week working on just one of the Hawk bugs and it only got fixed this morning - well we hope so its gone to our internal testers to verify.

I am hoping to push some bits for Hawk around end of the month.

Slow but steady progress, Been working on Hawk pretty much most of the week.

Although we are usually pretty open to expanding our team we are not looking to out source any of our work/projects.

Sorry to say that a public version of Typhoon is now no longer planned. Our focus is much more aligned with Gen 1 & 2 Jets and Warbirds for our public releases now.

If this changes in the future we will confirm it in due course.

R.I.P. Tiffy :cry:

Does this apply to DCS or other sims? I'm very interested in early gen jets and would love if the work on birds like the Meteor or the Vampire would find its way into DCS eventually. :)

Well, I'm primarily a warbirds customer. . so I shall be paying attention :)

I can confirm the missile zombie... We tested this extensively, and unless the missile hits the cockput directly the aircraft remains fully functional after two direct Aim-120C hits. Third one kills you always.

Inbound possible Hawk update?!?! Yes please!

Yeah, we have some FM changes, Weapons load out changes (phase 1), AHARS fixes and a few other tweaks in the box.

The one issue we are struggling with and have put it to ED now is the lack of thrust in wind conditions, well thats not quite the reason for the issue but lets not get into nitty gritty, as soon as we have input on that we will of course push it.

We are working on the PBR cockpit textures, although at this point not sure if it will make end of this month or be next month

I'll do a more through update on P-40 before xmas

Pman

Thanks for the quick update Pman. I was wondering though if there's been progress with the damage model and zombie aircraft? I look forward to being able to use it for light CAS in mp.

The problem lays with ED on this one I am afraid and is awaiting details on the new damage modelling, Other 3rd parties are suffering with it as well to varying degrees.

More on it when we have more to share I am afraid

Pman

Alright, thank you.

Sounds good. Hooefully you get the new textures out soon.

Thanks for giving us false hopes for 4+ years! :mad:

We've come from a Christmas 2014 release to cancelled in 2018!

Well done.

I'm quite sad too but mate, having Tiffy without any serious a2g capability would make it just a modern f15/su27 killer nothing more. ;)

Which would still be a great thing and totally worth it (for me at least)!

Get on board F15, fire 8x amraam120c and rtb. Almost same fun ;) You also can try thunder but I think we are totally about something else here in DCS World. :music_whistling:

Let's hope for Panvia Tornado instead :) It is definitely much more achievable for ED or 3rd Parties.

By the way, they still do the Typhoon, just not for the civil market (DCS specifically).

+1. Tiffy was one of the most anticipated modules for me. I still kinda hope that the VEAO guys will change their minds. :D

I will be praying for that ;)

Yeah, thanks to the community for the great support and heads up for VEAO over the first 3 years and managing to make one of their developers quit.

VEAO Typhoon is cancelled for DCS. This is all we care about on DCS forums.

For me the fun derives from the systems interactions which are almost non existent in the F-15 due to its FC3 origin.

Tell me about it :music_whistling:
