JF-17 Mini-Update

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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!

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)

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.

Since we just got notified with upcoming free-access event, the free access and discount info on newsletter may not be accurate.

After discussing with ED, we decide to participate on both e-shop and steam:

1-week free access + 1-month $15/20%-off discount.
