Airbus/Eurocopter AS365 Dauphin & HH-65 Dolphin Get Screenshots, Video, and Dev Update
Taog’s Hangar showcased on Discord the upcoming Airbus/Eurocopter AS365 Dauphin, which will also include the American HH-65 Dolphin variant.
Development is on track, and the developers hope nothing unexpected will hinder the final approach.
3D models, sounds, animations, and most of the features are ready. Only final systems work and in-depth testing are still to be done.
The developers admitted that they underestimated the differences between the original Dauphin and the Dolphin, so properly reproducing both required more work than expected. Yet, they want to make sure that both are represented as accurately as possible.
The manual and video tutorials are also being prepared.
