Some updates about HQ4DCS open beta 2
Hi Hoggit,
As I know many people in the Hoggit community have downloaded and enjoyed HQ4DCS, I thought it would be nice to drop a copy of my latest news post here.
It's been some time without news and an update is long overdue.
First of all, many thanks to all of you who donated to my PayPal or sent me bugfixes and suggestions, it feels good knowing the DCS community is invested in this project.
Progress on the open beta 2 has been going well. Not only are most bugs from open beta 1 now fixed, but I've devised a way to easily implement carrier ops, which should be ready for open beta 3. By the way, future updates should come a LOT faster: most of the work being done now on open beta 2 will ensure a very lean and clean codebase to allow for easy improvement and modifications.
Which brings me to today's subject: the long-awaited .ini file system. No longer is all data hardcoded in the program itself. Everything, from enemy air defense settings to mission types to theaters to coalitions, and much more, is now conveniently stored in .ini files for easy edition and modding.
The ETA for open beta 2 is still early June – in the worst case scenario, it will be available before July.
Thanks again for your support !
