Як-52 hype

Hello.

In anticipation of the upcoming DCS: Yak-52 module that ED will be releasing to us next month, I think it would be appropriate to bring us some hype to help us wait.

After doing a bit of digging, I was also able to find the Artstation link of the person who assumingly made the Yak-52 model. I'm not too sure on this, but I will post it here anyways, just in case you're interested.

Here are some informative videos of the Yak-52 to hold you over:

Here is the whole (incomplete) list of compiled screenshots of the Yak-52 in DCS:

Thanks for all the pictures!

Having Fun :)

Hopefully this link works. This was a flight where I took a friend of a friend for a little trip around our area. This is Tauranga NZ.

Sorry, your link doesn't work. You have to get rid of the "v=" in the tag text, and then it will work. :)

Some more videos on my adored Russian trainer. Enjoy!

(P.S., if anyone is able to find some more pictures of the Yak-52 in DCS, that would be greatly appreciated.)

Duck !

At our local airfield

Duck !

 

 

Actually, those animals in the background are cows, not ducks. Obviously, any decent sim will have cows implemented, so it should be possible to re-create this shot in DCS. :music_whistling:

Really cool photo, btw.

Credit goes to X93355, I only fixed the YouTube tag for it. Thanks and enjoy!

LOL man, look it up :)

Scary!

From last week's news:

No updates this week I see... :(

Done a few years ago by a great friend:

No updates this week I see... :(

My biggest update (in file size) after the Tarawa, in Open Beta 2.5.2.20036, was updated files for the AI Yak-52 in "DCS World\CoreMods\aircraft\Yak-52"

I'm not sure how much of the AI Yak-52 was already there but you can check out the WIP skins (only Russia has other than default) and external sound effects now.

Only sound files were in the game before this update. I was actually shocked hours later after I made that post in this thread that ED had secretly slid in the Yak-52.

A few for the hype

Could this be used as a FAC? Does it have radios?

Well, you can see a VHF radio control panel in the bottom right of the front instrument panel. So I imagine you could theoretically talk someone onto a target.

What a great looking plane:

I also want to put my greasy finger on that canopy glas...

Looking forward to release.

Does anyone have any idea if they're going to push out the B?

(Incoming rocket pylon mods to Yak-52 in DCS! :D)

There are no Plans for YAK-52 w/ Weapons as far as I know.

Lets see an image of a Yak52 with weapons on and airborne :)

Having flown a YAK52 with just small little external fuel tanks on (mod) ... I can only imagine one with weapons would be a real dog

Ivan, how have you found it so far?

I flew a few times today and feel the engine performance at 70/70 and 80/80 is a little off with the engine sound? Feels like at 80% its like it is at 70% irl.

The amount of left rudder needed in the sim on take off at full power feels a little small. A lot more rudder needed irl.

Is there a smoke switch in the cockpit? I couldn't find it.

Як-52B incoming!

(Seriously though, can someone please make a mod of this? :()

I SECOND this.... Please, Please with SUGAR on top man☺
