kotor633 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 I think I don't agree on "Ka-50 is an old module". Yes, it's old but very robust module in terms of its system, weapon technology, flight model, external model etc. etc. It has still different place in other helicopter (in this sim) and it can't be compared to other modules. So, in my honest opinion, this module still deserves high priority and care. Forget about all things, come on! Look at the textures of default cockpit. Definitely it doesn't fit ED's reputation. Please, ED! :) I totaly agree with you! I even go a step further and say: Not only constantly bring out new modules, but also maintain the old. ************************************** DCS World needs the Panavia Tornado!

nessuno0505 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 (edited) I also agree: this discussion is dated on february and I d'like to know something about the ka-50. Newer modules are surely excellent news, but if ED really wants to fulfill "the dream of making the most realistic combat aviation simulation", like they stated in last november letter posted on this forum (and I have no reason to believe it is not so), then it is important to add new modules, and not just to replace oldest ones with newest. I do not ask a new cockpit tomorrow (I'm not sure that's the solution either), but in 2.5 beta changelogs I always see updates to a lot of modules except the ka-50 (and the a-10c). If I have to patiently wait, I'll do, but some updated news from time to time would not be bad. P.S. even newer modules like f-5e have issues with new engine, so maybe it's a wider problem that needs more time to be fixed than just "no love for ka-50"...

Fri13 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 When people talk about DCS World, there are two typical modules that are mentioned quickly, KA-50 and A-10C. They have been for years the standard how to do things. After that we have got lot of new features and improvements and new modules where latest is the F/A-18C. But ED is still making money with KA-50, if they don't want to make money from it, pull it out of the store. It is egg-chicken problem, someone needs to do something first to get others join. So is it now that new customers should appear and buy the KA-50 to get ED to improve it.... Or is it now that ED should improve the KA-50 to get new customers that buy the KA-50 too among new modules? The other is that there is just action that needs to be done by small group of people to show courage that older modules are taken care and maintained, even the A-10C has got fixes these days. And texture/3D model refreshment is just one of the easy things to show to customers "We care about you existing module owners and you new customers can know that we will improve our products". IF the ED wants to discontinue KA-50, then label it so and pull out of store and just leave it to be activated by those who has now purchased it. Ain't that what people now really demand by saying "Don't improve it!" i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.

Fri13 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Waiting for Ka-52. Hah. That would be the ultimate attack helicopter in DCS world for multiplayer if it would just possibly come out. All ground radars, air radars, new Shkval systems etc. It would be like a combination of F/A-18C, F-14B and F-16C in one module for helicopter pilots. :D I still take cockpit improvements to KA-50 as I can fly it alone and be the shark among preys. i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.

nessuno0505 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 When people talk about DCS World, there are two typical modules that are mentioned quickly, KA-50 and A-10C. That's because - despite a lot of newer modules - they are still the most complex and advanced ones (apart from f/a-18, which however is still largely work in progress).

Mad_Max2 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Right now BS2 is 49.99, is what your getting right now worth 49.99? I couldn't answer that honestly because I haven't used it since the lighting and AP went to crap (around 2.2ish). Likely won't use it again until I see updates in the change log. Personally I don't need it to be as "pretty" as new modules, but functional again would be good. The black shark is a great module, but it's broken. As long as it's being sold on the store I would expect at least functionality updates to keep it operable in DCS. If not then it's a slap in the face, especially to those just buying it now.... at $50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devrim Posted June 10, 2018 Author Share Posted June 10, 2018 I still have hope for Ka-50. Remember the previous state of Caucasus map's texture, and today ED has done excellent job on that map.

nessuno0505 Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 (edited) In the meanwhile, my suggestion for newer ka-50 virtual pilots is to fly it in DCS 1.5.8, if you want to fully appreciate what it has to offer. (I fly it in 2.5, cause I'm confident in ED updates, but I have already tasted what the real fully functional ka-50 is; and the same worths for a-10c); obviously the 1.5.8 ka-50 functionalities mixed with 2.5 forests of trees would be a dream...

thrustvector Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I like a lot of you love the shark, was my first module, then the 10c, and still these days of DCS completely valid purchases. if a first time buyer gets the 50 now god only knows what they will think and prob buy no more. I feel as I have said the shark is dead, but I hope I'm saying that to make me feel all warm n fuzzy when they address a lot of its issues. my major gripe is we never seem to hear from ed about the poor old girl. not even worried about revamps, as well she is meant to be a rough diamond in a way, but please let us know a bit more of whats going on eh?

thrustvector Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 haha, yea right, I didn't say anything about the lights. maybe read first, but anyway there are a lot more problems than just that that some, maybe not all have but are recurring amongst them, surely by reading my post you could see I love the shark and want it fixed, or you just trolling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Dioxin Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I flew the Ka-50 in 2.5.2 last night - went fine except for the right engine fuel cut-off valve - was completely unable to move the lever - the cursor wasn't even changing when I hovered over the handle, or anywhere near it. Restarted the mission and it worked as it should. Apart from that, had no issues with the mechanics of the module (just the known gamma/graphics and the anti-collision light turning the cockpit into a disco, which it does with every module). In the meanwhile, my suggestion for newer ka-50 virtual pilots is to fly it in DCS 1.5.8, if you want to fully appreciate what it has to offer.

I play in 2.5 and VR. Yes, a new / improved cockpit would be the best, but playing missions in the new caucasus using trees cover is a much more Amazing game than 1.5.8. If you already knows the heli and can manage the light buttons malfunction, my suggestion is to play 2.5 even in VR. I play almost only 2.5 open beta and manage my performance lowering PD.

swagchimp Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Waiting for Ka-52.That probably won't happen in the next 15-20 years. The Ka-52 is one of the newest and most capable airframes in the russian air force, and with the russian administration having become more secretive in the past few years, the chance that any private firm will gain access to a Ka-52 in the next decade or so is practically zero.

Rogue Trooper Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 (edited) Each AP is slaved to my warthog stick as well as the auto pilot emergency off button but the lack of instantaneous feedback from my APs lights is truly detrimental. I would reckon I spend 3 - 5 seconds confirming my APs are on or off whilst maneuvering a tight mountainous firing position. Gagging for the new pit! Happy it is on the "to do list"!

3WA Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Yes, it's getting annoying. Please ED, instead of trying to find new customers, please don't forget your old ones. And those AP lights aren't the only thing wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Can't wait to get back to DCS. I hope to see my favourite modules of Ka-50, UH-1H and A-10C fixed soon! Sad to come back looking how's it going and seeing all these modules so broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
