It’s been a bit since we heard about IndiaFoxtEcho’s DCS projects, however, an update at the start of the month has filled us in on some details. Plus we have a new screenshot of their upcoming G.91. Let’s have a look at the update.
Status updates for MB-339, G-91R and future
IndiaFoxtEcho have been quietly working on the MB-339 in an effort to solve some bugs with the aircraft. They fortunately, after what sounds like a lengthy process, have isolated that rare but annoying bug where the nosewheel could cause the aircraft to explode during taxi.
The problem is solved and they are pushing to get it into the next open beta. Great news!
Additional features are also in the works for the MB-339 including the flight director as well as adding a working gun camera. New key bindings, gunsight for the instructor seat, and the possibility to tune the trim axis are all in the works. I love the sound of a working gun camera. A surprisingly rare feature among combat flight sims.
The update then turns to the G-91R. Although there’s not too much to talk about, there is a new screenshot of the module and word that the team are busy building the foundations of the module. These include the electrical, fuel, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems.
They report that there is no timeline for its completion and it will be “done when its done.” Given the pace that nearly all DCS projects move at, this seems like a smart projection!
A future update on the G-91 is planned when they are further along so we look forward to that. They also mention that the G-91 isn’t the end of their plans for DCS World and they have other “ambitious projects” in the works. Can’t wait to find out what those are!
