Weekend Newsletter - 8/20/22
Hey @everyone and thank you so much for an incredible launch week for the F/A-18C Hornet Audio Expansion update. We have gotten a lot of amazing feedback, thanks for continuing to support what we do.
Hornet Update - Post Launch
With the launch of the Hornet, there were some items that we wanted to address since it's debut last week. You will find that a new patch was issued for the Hornet mod today, and can be downloadable through accessing your Gumroad account, or navigating back to your original email once you "purchased/obtained" it.
The current version is 1.0.5 and the patch notes are as follows:
- Updated Howl to reduce "flyby" effect bug in F2 (you can still hear it, but sounds more natural now).
- Tweaked various gains that were affecting carrier operations (unable to properly hear some effects while on the deck)
- Adjusted some other effects for better F3 flybys.
As a quick note: make sure you have this option enabled on PC. This will greatly enhance the overall mix and volume of your game! One individual said it was a game changer. Be sure to check it out to make sure you're taking full advantage of our audio. https://pureinfotech.com/normalize-sound-volume-windows-10/

New Staff! Say hello to two new incredible @Staff members! We are so thrilled that our team is growing as a result of the incredible opportunities we've had to share content with the DCS community.
First up is @Don (Skullz)! You may or may not know him from his incredible work on the highly acclaimed Huey sound mod a while back. I was inspired by his work, and was a foundation for what we did with the Huey audio in the CORE audio pack for DCS. He has a keen eye (and ear) for detail, thanks to his background in Law Enforcement and his service as a U.S. Marine. I am beyond excited for what Skullz will do with us, and even more excited to be working along side him as we continue inspiring the communities around us. His experience in DCS stretches much further than just the Huey sound mod he produced, but also reaches into X-Plane and other projects as well. Welcome aboard, Skullz!
Second is Logan (@dcs_world_photography)! Logan has been helping us behind the scenes with social media recently and we have decided to bring him on, officially, as our social media specialist! He's done an amazing job with his own Instagram account (go follow him!) but also taking great care to our account as well. I am super appreciative of what he's done so far, and am excited to see what the future has in store. You will start to see more regular posts, about what's going on - and what we do behind the scenes, across multiple platforms. Make sure you are following us! Welcome aboard man!

In other DCS: World Audio News:
P-51D Mustang Audio Skullz is taking over this project for me, as I move into and start focusing on some other unannounced projects behind the scenes! We will be working closely on this, however, the Mustang is his favorite warbird and I know that it is in good hands. I'm excited for what Skullz will do with the Mustang audio!
Spitfire and CORE Audio As work on the Hornet dies down for now, and the other primary fighters in a good position (audio wise), the rest of the team can start focusing on the Spitfire and bringing new updates to the CORE mod as well. We have a lot of fixes already completed for CORE, but will also be bringing in some new additions as well, to freshen things up. More on that at a later date! -- On the Horizon: There are so many things happening behind the scenes we aren't allowed to share yet, but I am beyond excited for the partnerships and opportunities that have come our way! As soon as we are able to share with you all, we will. From our entire team - thank you. Have a fun, and safe weekend! -Tyler
