ThorBrasil replied to ThorBrasil's topic in DCS: OH-58 Kiowa
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.- 592 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.- 592 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.- 592 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.- 592 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.- 592 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.- 592 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- 592 replies

ThorBrasil replied to ThorBrasil's topic in DCS: OH-58 Kiowa
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.- 592 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?- 592 replies

ThorBrasil replied to ThorBrasil's topic in DCS: OH-58 Kiowa
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.- 592 replies

Look at the sounds. With the module installed, the AI now has sound. I saw comments on Discord that the Kiowa can't hover with 100% fuel and 4xhellfire, but apparently it's possible and very easy. I don't know if it's like that in real life, but here's the video proving it.- 592 replies

It's a bug. In the full module there is sound, but the sounds seem a little low. In my video the sounds are at the maximum preset.- 592 replies

My settings in DCS. I use a 3080 12GB, Ryzen 7 3800X and 32GB of RAM. Yes! That's what the textures look like. They look low-res, but the Kiowa is a lot of fun to fly.- 592 replies

ThorBrasil replied to ThorBrasil's topic in DCS: OH-58 Kiowa
Understand! The Kiowa, with these problems I mentioned, makes it already outdated graphically. If this weren't a problem, ED wouldn't be updating all of its modules to current standards. Even the BO-105 had to be remade because of this. The same thing happened to the A-1H from Crosstail Studios. In the future, new modules will be released and, whether we like it or not, the graphics will be a weight on the scale. There's also the issue of AI, which I won't even comment on because everything has already been said in the other topics. I'm sure this can all be fixed, but what really bothered me was that this aircraft didn't deserve the full price. It's simply early access masquerading as "full".- 592 replies

I gave Polychop a vote of confidence for the first time and I regret about 30% of the purchase of pre-ordering. The Kiowa flight model is very fun to fly and I really liked that. The sounds seem very low. I don't know if it was recorded from the real aircraft like the modern modules. This aircraft should be sold with early access because of the points below. Things that need to improve A LOT. 1 - External textures seem to be in low resolution. 2 - External model very low in polygon count. It looks like the modules released about 8 years ago in DCS. It doesn't have the same level of detail as the modern modules. 3 - The animation of the ammunition when firing the .50 doesn't exist. The ammunition doesn't move in the ammunition belt and it doesn't empty when all the ammunition in the .50 is used up. 4 - There is no damage model like the Mi-8, Huey, Apache among others. You can see in the video that the aircraft is indestructible. If all these things were resolved before release the module would be worth full price.

Polychop Simulations OH-58D Kiowa

It can also be done by placing a trigger to remove grass from the scene where you build the FARP.
