Ligeti Posted June 13, 2016 Posted June 13, 2016 Forgive me if this has been discussed elsewhere (I checked the stickies but couldn't see anything), but are any more updates planned for the KA50? How about adding an R73 and Igla option? Some air to air missiles would be most excellent ;-)

Bottom-line, don't get your hopes up for a Black Shark upgrade. As far as ED is concerned, it's a finished product which is very unlikely ot receive any future upgrades.

Ligeti Posted June 14, 2016 Author Posted June 14, 2016 Ok thanks. Shame the module isn't being developed further. Guess we'll have to wait for Mistral Gazelle for a A2A missile capable heli.
bkthunder Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 Surely the Ka-50 could do with a bit of an updated 3d cockpit model and textures, if nothing more. Windows 10 - Intel i7 7700K 4.2 Ghz (no OC) - Asus Strix GTX 1080 8Gb - 16GB DDR4 (3000 MHz) - SSD 500GB + WD Black FZEX 1TB 6Gb/s
cichlidfan Posted June 14, 2016 Posted June 14, 2016 Surely the Ka-50 could do with a bit of an updated 3d cockpit model and textures, if nothing more.

bkthunder Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 Just as surely, ED has lots of other stuff that needs doing even more. Surely in a thread titled "Any Future Development Planned", in the DCS: Ka-50 section of the forum, my post is on topic and my opinion is legitimate. Your post is adding what to the thread? Yes, ED has lots of other stuff that need doing even more, I agree. But this thread is not about what ED needs to do even more, it's about the future development of the Ka-50, get it? You are clearly not interested in this discussion, other than trying to silence it. Seriously guys, it looks like a mafia environment here sometimes, there are some things that "you shouldn't say" otherwise someone will get upset... Jeez. I'm out.

Jeez. I'm out. Don't take it personally. He's just stating fact. I'm sure he'd be happy to see updates, it's just very unlikely. ED are extremely busy with so many different projects. There just isn't time.
WinterH Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 Yeah I'm with cichlidfan on this one. There are sooo many stuff on ED's plate that are frankly more important to handle. Kamov's cockpit does look dated compared to other aircraft in DCS but this does not stop it from being enjoyable at all. Besides I assume that's a done&done module from ED's point of view, oldest one in fact. It is feature complete, and bugfixing aside I don't see new features being added to it. Now, they may eventually update cockpit textures for VR may be, but the helo is realistic depiction of one of Ka-50 airframes, and discussion of air to air missiles on it have been done to death. On another thread I have seen someone suggesting it could use a new external model and textures which I very strongly disagree, it's external looks simply great, and apart from one or two of skins, it's textures are good too. There are waaaaaaaaay more important things that needs attention in the sim than eye candy enhancement on things that do not even require it. Wishlist: F-4E Block 53 +, MiG-27K, Su-17M3 or M4, AH-1F or W circa 80s or early 90s, J35 Draken, Kfir C7, Mirage III/V DCS-Dismounts Script
