Ells228 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 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. Link to comment

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. Link to comment

SDsc0rch Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 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? ) i7-4790K | Asus Sabertooth Z97 MkI | 16Gb DDR3 | EVGA GTX 980 | TM Warthog | MFG Crosswind | Panasonic TC-58AX800U [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment
Ells228 Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 Whilst each aircraft is unique, somethings like tying into the core sim can be shared amongst developers. Thanks for your support guys!! Link to comment
joey45 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Awesome fantastic news. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

AesclepiusCrow Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 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! Sent from my LG-D850 using Tapatalk Link to comment

outlawal2 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 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! :thumbup: "Pride is a poor substitute for intelligence." RAMBO Link to comment
