It's been a while...
Howdy all! It's been a while... it's time for some change!
First off, there are a lot of new people here!
So for those that don't know who we are and what we do; E19 is more than just a sound mod group, E19 (or Echo One Nine) is an audio production company built to aid developers (1st and 3rd party) with their integration of immersive soundscapes within flight simulators and beyond! The mods for DCS were designed to give us a creative outlet, to build our brand, and most importantly - to establish a community of aviation and audio enthusiasts alike. We've been successful in both avenues, and I am extremely thankful for every single one of you who have downloaded our mods, joined our Discord, donated to our vision, and are an active part of our community. Some of you may have noticed that the website has undergone some changes. I've posted a new section that allows our fans to immediately see what we're working on, regardless of Discord or Patreon status, under the "Products" page. There have been several refinements to the site, with more on the way as I go over the next set of changes!
DCS Updates
DCS Updates! The following mods are receiving updates next week, and a full-changelog will be made available, but here are some highlights to look forward to:
F-16: Received multiple adjustments and updates including some more realistic/less repetitious flyby sounds, a new distant afterburner mix, and more...
F-18: Received some fixes involving MP issues/new switch (cockpit) audio recorded from an active duty CF-18! Along with a few other small adjustments.
CORE: This next version of CORE will contain an array of refinements. Additions/fixes includes things like FC3 aircraft, new wind sounds that are less intrusive for airshow enthusiasts/more realistically mixed, enhancements to F-15C audio specifically as well as the A-10A/C. Along with several other enhancements and refinements to various other aircraft. We plan to add more aircraft to this mod as time allows!
Spitfire: The Spitfire's redux has finally been finalized and will be released with the rest of the above adjustments! The spitfire's audio is as real as it has ever been in this next version; from the cockpit to the flybys, this next version has been meticulously re-done for the most die-hard Spitfire fans.
These updates continue to refine our work to be even better, thanks to your feedback and the help of our amazing test pilot crew! @Macca, @JustDuff and @Scooby specifically, provided me with some incredible help the past few months. The above updates will be available next weekend, starting Friday the 22nd, at 10AM EST. I may not be able to get to making a full-release video for all this, staying very busy! That said; I did create a short teaser video with a few highlights.
Other News!
In addition; we will also be launching our brand new store platform! We will be officially retiring the Gumroad site and moving to a more professional platform as we expand our services. More on that next week just shy of release! I am very excited for the surprises in store for you all with the new platform.
New Friends!
In addition to the progress made on all of the DCS mods, there's been a lot of work done with our 3rd party friends including our newest friends at Parallel 42 (aka //42). I will be sharing more about the work we've been doing with //42 this coming week as we wrap up their newest project! I am beyond excited for you all to see and hear what E19 and //42 have been working on. A lot more continues behind the scenes with other projects we are excited to share more about in the future, for now though, that's it!
A huge thank you to you all, for supporting us and continuing to advocate for authentic audio experiences. Keep sharing our work and interacting with us across all our social channels.
See you all soon! Fly safe
