We need new stuff for KA-50 Flag ship

[wolle]

The one thing we need the most in the Ka-50 is the ability to enter western longitudes into the PVI (need those for the Nevada map);)

[flanker0ne]

I'e checked again and the problem is not Eastern or Western, instead the PVI-800 doesnt allow coordinates beyond 75° for N/S and 90° for E/W.

So, Las Vegas with 36° 10' N 115° 08' W cannot be inserted because 115° is over 90.

Thanks for the explanation. Just to clarify, when you say "PVI-800 doesnt allow " you mean the ingame one, not the real life one, right? In real life, the Ka-50 could operate near Las Vegas, right? If so, please, ED, fix this bug soon so that we can use the Ka-50 in the NTTR map.

Well what better way to have ED supprise us new upgrades to there DCS first moduale that was Flagship of DCS benchmark and after was A-10 two most iconic aircrafts in sim market. from 2008 - KA-50 and 2011 Feb A-10C appeared.

Ka-52 Alligator maybe ??

Too new. ED wouldn't be able to get all the technical details required to make a proper module.

 

Belsimtek, AH-1W and Mi-24P are the variants.

 

So you get to shoot TOW and you get to fire 30mm cannon.

Mi-24P? Shoot, no turret. Too bad it wasn't the Mi-24VP.

 

ED nothing wouldn't mind to implement JTAC support. Why we always have to add (JTAC) mod(s) ourselves, and the question is to what version of DCS the mod will work.

Or some kind of FAC system for REDFOR countries. We've got an R-800, but no purpose for it outside of the JTAC mod.

 

Is/would it be possible in real life for a Ka-50 to illuminate a target for a KAB-500L dropped from a Su-25? If so, that would be pretty fun to see.

Hmmm, the Ka-50's exterior could do with a little updating, textures maybe, and some of the damage modelling (I'm talking about the actual exposed components). As well as maybe some of the weapons (though these are getting updated progressively by the looks of things). IMO the cockpit doesn't need a great deal, maybe very minor texture improvements - the main thing I'd like to see are things that are non-functioning or non-clickable be made clickable and functional where possible.

 

off topic but how is dcs running with the Fx6300

That would be rad. Same for Kh-25L I guess. It'd be a bit easier to maintain the lase from a hovering platform, at least I have a hard time acquiring targets before I get too close in the Su-25.

He's not negative, just fed up. Use the search function and you'll see there are tons of exactly this kind of threads. We're running in circles, that's what's frustrating and no amount of posting is going to change that.

 

Soooo instead of coming in to complain, don't come in at all and ignore it? I mean, that's what an adult would do...

Well, if you enjoy the thousands of wishlist postings - 80% of them are re-posts (Apache, F16, Ka52, etc) ... well, that is up to you. But I'd rather have the forum not spammed with such pointless postings and instead have more meaningful threads (or at least more visible, as in not flooded by such spam). And why should I not express this? Granted, I was a bit grumpy, but again, after years of watchig this, one gets a bit tired of it eventually ...

[DieHard]

Don't really want new stuff. I just want the old stuff back like naval ops, kh25 launch capability, and NTTR coordinate compliance.

 

+1

 

I am perfectly happy with the Shark just the way it is and still fly it quite often in MP, usually the 104th lately.

 

I would like to see it used in more interesting combat scenarios with jet cover and have a simulated war atmosphere good guys vs. bad guys with a full server like the 104th playing to that end over several hours should be fun. In 2.0 lately the F99 guys play similar sorties with multiple mission goals.

 

But I am usually flying and fighting by myself in 1.5 .

 

I learned to fly freehand long time ago, I rarely use the autopilot. I use the kneeboard map to navigate with.

+1 as well. I like it as it is..just needs some fine tuning in 2.0 with the PVI
