Welp.. it looks like this project is done, or postponed until better days. I see other DCS mods have also stopped working after the update a month or two ago, including a personal favorite- the Su 30. I was really looking forward to the Ka 52, hope the devs give us an update either way.

Is this mod still WIP or RIP? With discord now unavailable in Russia, how will we recieve updates?

Su 35 mod. Get rid of it, and it should start up.

Any future plans to make this multirole? Would be amazing to run a SEAD/DEAD mission with AA threats. Fantastic mod by the way!! Highly ambitious and a blast.

Ka 50 shares lots of systems of the Ka 52 and they employ the same weapons. They mentioned earlier in the thread that things like radar are worked on, but not right away. So it's not unreasonable to assume there will be some simple AI target designation for the WSO (like petrovich in Hind or George in Apache). They are working very hard on the detail of the model, so I am assuming they are also going to work hard on making it flyable in combat. So why I ask.

This may have been asked already, so I apologize if it has. Will this KA-52 have a WSO model and a system like Petrovich to disegnate targets?

There are some folks working on a very nice Su 30 mod (search Codenameflanker) They are also working on a Su 35. Keep in mind these are mods, but they have a fully modeled cockpit and are in process of creating their own respective flight models. The cockpits look nice and modern and most things are clickable. Still pretty immersive to fly on the Syria map - where they operate in RL. As mentioned, there isn't enough data on these birds and the Russian government isn't hot on the idea of simulating them for the general public while there are multiple wars going on. Although I have seen Russian flight trainers for new aircraft and I'm almost 99% sure Eagle Dynamics have contracts with the Air and Space Force for these, it looked awful a lot like DCS or the DCS engine. Just not for us As far as Ka 50 being in-game, it was basically a tech demonstrator and didn't really see combat. Ka 52 is in active combat service, so fat chance we will see it in game. Even so, Ka 50 module was made in 2000s when laws were looser and relations with the west, much better. Mi 24 is older than dirt, so I'm not surprised it is in game, like Mig 21 and soon Mig 23.

A lot of the systems on the Ka52 are classified, like most in-service Russian aircrafts. It would be impossible (and likely illegal) to simulate a Ka 52 systems accurately, especially given how much service they are seeing. I follow this mod closely and very curious about what systems will be simulated, likely it will be mostly a "port" of KA 50 systems with a Ka 52 model and flight model - I will let the developer complete this statement. Ka 50 is more of a "tech demonstator" and saw very limiter service in the Caucasus in early 2000s.
