uboats Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 (edited) Hi everyone, We are now returning to office (not CSGO map) to continue the dev and bug fix of thunder. Besides bug fix, AAR will be our current top priority. In the following months, we will temporarily on hold the update of external/cockpit model update, but focus on model modification for upcoming AAR feature. In parallel, our programmers will start the AAR coding. Regarding AAR details, we consider to keep only one aircraft in our module, but players can contact ground crew to "mount/remove" the fuel probe (may need longer time, like 1-2 minutes?). We don't consider other upgrade but just add AAR capability. Here's a quick model for programmers to work on.

uboats Posted February 13, 2020 Author Share Posted February 13, 2020 (edited) Hello everyone, We cannot wait to fix the radar issue. However, due to Chinese New Year holidays during past weeks and coronavirus, our radar programmer now stays home and far away from his PC. And his laptop is too slow to run DCS that he cannot debug and fix it efficiently. Please give us a bit more time. For what we have fixed and will be release in upcoming 2.5.6, please check the sticky changelog thread. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

uboats Posted March 24, 2020 Author Share Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) DPlayer To be honest, having a build-in music player in Thunder would bring much more fun to boring long-distance flight. No doubt that playing proper music can also buff your air combat energy (Skill? I doubt). So we implemented a music player called DPlayer. User can use UFCP to control the music play cycle audio file in playlist play/pause the audio change volume playlist cycle or not cycle User can change the # of loaded audio file via Special Option slider (max is 30) The detailed audio and sdef files setup is in the readme.txt. This DPlayer feature will come in next update. Also, don't forget to try and enjoy the free trial of Thunder. Stay safe and have fun!

uboats Posted April 6, 2020 Author Share Posted April 6, 2020 (edited) In next update, Type-200A anti-runway bomb will be added (single/dual at station 2 and 6) Due to ordnance scheme limitation, at this moment, arg0 can only toggle between 0 and 1 to show/hide parachute, it cannot remove the chute container after engine ignited (same for BetAB-500shp, reported to ED) Edited April 7, 2020 by uboats 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] My DCS Mods, Skins, Utilities and Scripts | Windows 10 | i7-4790K | GTX 980Ti Hybrid | 32GB RAM | 3TB SSD | | TM Warthog Stick | CH Pro Throttle + Pro Pedal | TIR5 Pro | TM MFD Cougar | Gun Camera: PrtScn | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uboats Posted April 7, 2020 Author Share Posted April 7, 2020 (edited) With radar el fixed in next update, we will then focus on datalink issue investigation and fix, as well as other (ag) radar issues in the following weeks. Weapons are now almost done. The pace for adding new features will slow down.
