November 25th Update Launch
updates are live!
Hello there everyone! We are launching several updates to our various add-ons for DCS: World, thanks to your continued interest and support. Today we’ll cover a few things in this blog post, let’s get into it!
Summarized Changelog
You’ll find these changes and more in this new update:
F/A-18C Hornet - Revisited most external sounds while in flight, creating a more realistic and seamless experience. These changes and refinements will elevate your Hornet flying experience!
F-16C Viper - Improved the overall flyby experience of the aircraft by swapping a few samples out, making it less repetitive and more realistic. Also included some minor interior adjustments as well.
Spitfire - The Spitfire update is one of the most extensive; we went back to the drawing board on this aircraft shortly after release. We have fully reworked the interior and exterior sounds, ranging from close-ups and flybys to inside the aircraft; almost everything has been changed to make this one of the most realistic and true-to-life sounding Spitfires. Th
CORE - The ”CORE” mod update includes many changes across various aircraft, such as the FC3 aircraft (SU series, F-15C, A-10C II, and more) and some adjustments to the Wind noises to make them less intrusive. The M2000C and AV8 Harrier will receive more updates in the future, as the file structure has been changed, and we are still working on polishing these two specific aircraft.
Mustang - The Mustang features minor adjustments and refinements to the exterior sounds, mainly enhancing the blending between the various engine sounds.
The Super Hornet and Tomcat sound mod received no updates in this release.

The future of our DCS: World add-ons
Echo 19 is expanding, and we're seeing a surge in demand from flight simulation developers for our sound design expertise. As a result, we're dedicating most of our efforts to delivering top-notch audio experiences across several projects. Our project partners are at the forefront of our priorities; however, we are still committed to our DCS: World add-ons and our dedicated community. We enjoy developing and rolling out new updates and will keep supporting the DCS: World add-ons for the foreseeable future. Please note that updates may roll out more gradually as we balance our growing portfolio.
One last thing.
THANK YOU to all of you who have supported us, and continue to support our work from our humble beginnings. We look forward to serving the greater flight simulation community with dedication and passion for providing authentic simulation experiences, and there’s so much more to come. We sincerely hope you enjoy these updates.
Until next time!
Fly safe.
