What did I think of Kiowa? It needs to improve in some areas!
ThorBrasil replied to ThorBrasil's topic in DCS: OH-58 Kiowa
Full price for... 1 - Poorly detailed 3D model. 2 - Low resolution textures. 3 - Sounds, I don't even need to comment, but everyone already knows the condition and Polychop has promised to fix it. 4 - Systems, according to the manual there are many unimplemented features, but I prefer not to comment because it could be a limitation of the DCS engine. 5 - Lack of animation on the ammunition belt when firing the .50. The ammunition is static and does not travel through the ammunition belt. 6 - FM, I prefer not to comment because I don't have the knowledge to do this, but from what I've seen pilots commenting. The Kiowa can't take off with 4xHellfires and 100% fuel and in the DCS this is possible. You can even hover. Maybe it's a bug. 7 - Many bugs, but this is expected for any computer system. With all these problems, Kiowa should be released in early access and not charge an absurd amount of 70 dollars as a "complete" module that looks more like a module from 10 years ago in DCS World.- 591 replies

I don't want Kiowa to stop selling, but I want Polychop to stop deceiving its customers. I hope that in the future Kiowa will receive some love in 3D and textures. I want it to sell a lot. This is the mission he refers to and I hope everyone likes it. I wish the best for DCS and third parties and that's why I always buy the modules whenever possible, but I hate being deceived. Producers have to be honest with their customers and only then would these topics not be created because the person accepted the terms at the time of purchase. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3338408/- 591 replies

ThorBrasil replied to ThorBrasil's topic in DCS: OH-58 Kiowa
I didn't try to get a refund because I'm a fan of the Bell 206. I used to fly it in Flight Simulator with the Dodosim 206 module, which was all the rage at the time. The Kiowa was built on top of a Bell 206, which is why I really wanted the Kiowa. It took about 6 years to be released, and the unbelievable thing is that in all that time the entire module came out in this condition and still at full price. Anyway, all I know is that I'll stay away from Polychop's next releases, and a friend of mine decided not to buy it because of what happened with the Gazelle. I hope that Polychop will fix all the problems and that it will receive a decent 3D model and high-resolution textures. It's like you said. The F-4E came out at a much lower price and with a quality and features that can't even be compared, because the Kiowa would be crushed. Yesterday I flew it for about 4 hours and it urgently needs an optimization. When flying low you lose so much FPS that the DCS ends up crashing. I don't know if it's a memory leak or something that's consuming too many computer resources. Let's wait and see what happens in the future.- 591 replies

I thought the same thing. If Polishop didn't say anything, then it won't receive updates on the 3D model and Textures and the kiowa will remain as it is forever. I still have hope that Kiowa will receive improvements in 3D and textures.- 591 replies

Despite the problems the Kiowa is a lot of fun to fly. You will not regret. This discussion would be avoided if everything was made clear at launch, but whoever asks me about Kiowa I say the same thing I'm saying to you. In short, it's fun, but it's ugly on the outside. Then the person decides whether to buy or not. Of course, that won't stop you from having a lot of fun with it. I really like flying with him. I hope everything will be resolved in the future. good flights.- 591 replies

I bought the Chinook even though I knew it wouldn't come with many things. ED made it clear what will and won't be included at launch. I can't complain because I agreed to buy it in early access. Now, a product that was sold as complete shouldn't have a Minecraft-level 3D model. DCS is no longer in 2015, but in 2024 with high-quality models. You sound like a die-hard fan who blindly defends everything without questioning anything. The point is that it's not worth the $70 for an unfinished product. The point is that I felt cheated. Simple as that.- 591 replies

Do you know what people's biggest problem is? Something is wrong and they do everything they can to cover up and sweep all the problems of the launch under the rug. Honesty is one of the most important values for people. If you read everything I wrote, you would know that I bought the Kiowa. Don't try to cover up Polychop's mistakes. Transparency is the best thing that exists between a company and its customers. This whole discussion would be resolved if everything was made clear. Polychop didn't say anything about it, either before or after. The right thing to do would be for them to come out in public and apologize and commit to correcting all the problems mentioned, but I highly doubt that will happen. I hope it does and I end up getting my ass kicked. I hope so! I'd rather be wrong and have a product that's worth the price. Do you know what Kiowa looks like? It looks like Cyberpunk 2077. It looks really nice in the trailer, but when you buy it and take a closer look, you'll find a lot of problems. If the product was sold outside of early access, then it should come complete. At least the exterior should have the same level of detail as the cockpit.- 591 replies

Go to page 166 of the manual located in the DCS folder. The equipment is called AN/APR-39 Radar Detection. X:\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\OH-58D\Doc- 591 replies

ThorBrasil replied to ThorBrasil's topic in DCS: OH-58 Kiowa
So my friend. With this mindset, DCS should never have received all the graphical improvements. If the modules are having a high quality release standard, it is normal for everyone to go down this path. It is as I said before, new products will be released and the graphics part is something that weighs on many DCS users. It is not for nothing that I abandoned BMS because of the graphics and now the community is striving to improve it. If it was going to be released in this state, it would have been better to have released it as early access. That way you could say "Early access is not for you, wait for the final product."... If I paid for a complete product, the minimum should be complete. Unless Polychoop is not going to update the 3D model and textures and it will stay like this forever. If graphics didn't matter, nVidia would stop releasing graphics cards with high processing power and games would be Minecraft for all eternity.- 591 replies

A user commented that Kiowa has more FPS than Apache because it has a low polygon model, but he deleted the comment. Here's a video for him.- 591 replies

With this thought in mind, we should receive the updated external 3D model with high-resolution textures in the next 5 to 6 years? Then the module should be released in early access with a discount of 30% or more.- 591 replies

I'm glad I didn't complain about the FM. In fact, it is very easy to fly the Kiowa. It is the easiest helicopter to fly in the DCS. So easy that I even wonder if it has the EFM. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/support/faq/general/#1512209- 591 replies

My friend, I apologize if you were offended. Maybe it's the difference in culture, because in my culture people don't get offended by what I said. I'll try to explain better. I have nothing against Casmo and I admire him for having flown a Kiowa and even an Apache. The way you referred to him is that whatever he says, you will accept blindly. You won't question anything, argue, ask questions. I'm not talking about the systems, because I know that Kiowa must be representing them faithfully. In all of his videos, the product presented would be a developer version and did not represent the final product, but all the defects that I pointed out were visible in his videos and in the end we received the same product. So once again, I didn't mean to offend him. Sorry, but it was all just a misunderstanding.- 591 replies

There appears to be a texture problem. I'm not going to stop anyone from buying. Everyone knows what they do with their money. If he jumps off the bridge, will you jump too?- 591 replies

I made these videos not to tarnish the Kiowa's image, but to show what people are buying. If it were an early access version, I would understand all these problems, but for a "full" version, I felt cheated. It doesn't even have a damage model. I remember the videos of the people who did an "early access" version saying that it didn't represent the final version, but in the end we received the same product as they did. Despite everything, I'm enjoying flying it, even though I find it extremely easy to fly. I even wonder if all the physics are implemented or just a simplified flight model. One thing is for sure. I will never buy another product from Polychop. It's the first and the last.- 591 replies
