[h2]Voice Chat[/h2]
[h3]Development Progress[/h3]



We have improved the overall stability of the voice chat connection between users, even when using a VPN. We are now working on realistic radio sound effects and the possibility for players to create their own radio sound effect profiles. We’ve added static noises for better immersion and a microphone normalization feature with an updated mic test option. Many bugs have also been resolved when talking over the radio between different aircraft modules.

We have also added the ability to mute individual players and adjust the volume of specific channels. This gives players greater control over their communication and reduces potential radio distractions during gameplay.

The improvements to the integrated DCS World Voice Chat system are significant, and it will greatly enhance the overall experience. We are pleased to let you know that these enhancements are in final testing and that they will be released soon.



[h2]La-7[/h2]
[h3]Development Report[/h3]



The OctopusG team has been working on the most complete simulation ever created for this iconic World War II fighter by carefully studying considerable reference materials. They have completed the trajectory of movement settings that include mass-inertia, aerodynamic characteristics, propeller and engine. They are currently developing the compressed air system, control systems that include yaw and pitch channel trimmers, fuel, hydraulic and other systems.

The team is also working on the 3D model, including the damage model and a wide range of liveries. Liveries will include famous aces and several national liveries, both historic and alternative history.

Items to still complete include the QuickStart Manual, 2D art, and Instant Action missions. For a preview, please check out the DCS: La-7 start-up video tutorial
