Dear Simmers,
HKP-9A HELITOW cockpit model closing the final stagesl. I've put some Odin on the textures, just to have it look as realistic as possible. Current stage is the modeling of the Sightsystem.
Enjoy !
New Symbology:
Low PRF (BFR) targets are now displayed as a square instead of the V.
The radar now indicates when it is being jammed: BR (BRouilleur = jammer).
Small update: cockpit detalization of external model.
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.

DCS: SA342 Gazelle
Polychop Simulations in cooperation with The Fighter Collection and Eagle Dynamics, are pleased to announce that DCS: SA342 Gazelle is now available for early access in the DCS E-Shop
The SA342 Gazelle is a light scout/attack and transport helicopter. It was introduced in 1968 as a result of cooperation between Aérospatiale and Westland Aircraft. Operated by 23 countries, the Gazelle has served in combat operations across the world including the 1991 Gulf War, 1982 Lebanon War, Syria, and other conflicts.
The Gazelle is powered by a single turbine engine that is connected to three glass-fiber reinforced plastic main rotor blades with a bearingless main rotor developed by Bölkow GmbH. It is also the first helicopter which features the famous Fenestron tail rotor.
The version featured in DCS is the anti-tank version that is armed with four HOT 3 anti-tank guided missiles. Later, free upgrades to this module will feature Gazelle versions armed with a GIAT machine gun, rocket pods, Mistral anti-aircraft missile, and sniper team in rear compartment.

The Eagle Dynamics Team
Hi All,
Many thanks for all of your support and excitement for the last update and additional images we posted!
It's always exciting to share what we're working on; and pretty soon we'll be coming close to sharing years of hard work with you.
As we move into May; the team progresses into a hard, month long crunch on the AJS-37 Viggen project.
Refrain from drawing any conclusions from this cursory information- but we're excited about growing closer to completing our second product and follow up to the MiG-21bis.
We'll soon be stuck neck deep in the superficial polishing stage.
In the meanwhile; we continue to work hard on the F-14A / B as well as the accompanying CV-60/1/2 Forrestal class carrier.
We've completed modeling of our flight deck crew; and will be modifying this base to suit all of the various crew you'd find on a busy carrier flight deck.
Smell my finger
We've also already created the low poly version of this particular character; baked him down and rigged him.
Generally, all of our characters will appear just as detailed in the game as they do in these renders.
As mentioned in the last update, our goal is to try and include as many deck animations as we possibly can. Of course, it's quite possible that this particular feature will not launch together with the carrier or aircraft.
However, that has not stopped us taking our first steps with Motion Capture.
Here's a rough capture (pre-cleanup) of one of the many animation sequences we'll be looking to recreate
The past few weeks have been spent shaping the hull and major structures of the vessel, as well as more detailing on the island and associated components.
It's still early days; and while our team has had significant experience in modeling naval vessels in the past months- the Forrestal class is certainly a challenge.
We'll take another pass at our new base, make sure it is correct, and then move on to detailing the hull and major hull components.
In the last couple of weeks, we posted a few images and .gifs in various places around the forum.
On the off chance that some of you missed these; here they are again.
At the risk of sounding like a broken record- keep in mind that these are still very early.
We still have lots of cool F-14 related stuff coming up before we wrap things up and unveil the Viggen, but in the meanwhile, many thanks for reading this short update and for all of your support.
Thank you!
LS
Couple of renders of our meteor project. I think John is having far too much fun with the damage model integration...
My poor aircraft!
