This Week's News/Updates! Mod news, Patreon and More...
Today we have some exciting things to cover, it’s a bit of a lengthy update but please read through to the end. I appreciate it!
F/A-18C Hornet Audio: 🐝 this place is gonna bee buzzin’! Excuse the bee pun, but we are excited about our next Hornet version release! I recently had the opportunity to record about half a dozen low altitude passes from our nearby Hornet squadron. Our goal with this next iteration will be to better match the quality of samples used on the latest F-16 audio release. I have just finished sourcing the audio for this and we will be starting production on it very soon!
F-14 Tomcat: 🐈 We have released a release candidate client to our amazing @test pilot crew! The next iteration of the Tomcat will provide many welcome quality of life enhancements to both the exterior and interior audio. Tell us! What features, audio wise, would you like to see changed on this aircraft? Let us know in the #suggestions and feedback channel!
F-16: 🐍 At the request of the amazing IDF Projects team, we have created a quality of life update for the Viper audio overhaul as well. This is not as extensive as a usual update, however, I’m sure you all will love the changes! We will be releasing this update alongside an upcoming release of the F-16I Sufa mod, which will feature some unique audio to the Pratt & Whitney power plant. Here’s a quick sneak peek at the latest developments of the F-16 audio overhaul, featuring the F-16I Sufa mod by IDF Projects!
Our YouTube has a new look!
The old “IntrepidGaming” branding is officially gone. From now on, all media on this channel will be branded as “Echo 19 Audio”. This is exciting as we look forward to creating more content in the future!
A personal thanks from Echo 19:
Thank you all so so much for your continued support, whether it be financially by donating, through Discord, YouTube, or by sharing with your friends and family. I am so grateful for the amount of people that have joined the Echo 19 cause and am very excited for what the future holds. Since moving to the Fort Worth area, I have been able to capture some amazing footage and audio. This area provides me the opportunity to constantly be immersed in military aviation, and couldn’t be happier!
Last but not least…
A lot of you may or may not know, but my wife and I are expecting our first born at the end of this month! We are so excited to hold him and see him face to face. With this, me and my wife have decided that she needs to be at home - raising our son. This means I’ll need to get a second job, and work part time in addition to my already full-time position in order to make ends meet. Having to get a second job would almost certainly eliminate the time that I would have available to create content and continue doing what I love here at E19.
That said; I had an idea. I don’t typically like asking people for help - but I need your help!
I have created a page that our most dedicated fans and supporters can contribute on a monthly basis. Since our work in DCS is purely voluntary, our mods on DCS have been and will remain free for everyone to use. However; the donations we have received have gone towards gear, software, website / file hosting costs and also forwarding some of that to our amazing staff. If we can get enough people on board, monthly, I’ll be able to stay at home with my wife instead of finding a second job - and treating E19 as my “second job” instead.
I know it’s a big ask, especially with the world we live in. I love creating content here, and am passionate about the work we do! I want to continue doing it, but I need your help.
If you can donate monthly, my wife and I would be so incredibly grateful and it would mean the world to us.
You guys are amazing, thank you again for your passion and dedication.
Sincerely,
-Tyler
