Was flying the yak yesterday and scrapped the ground at the bottom of a loop with no ill affect. So I decided I'd just drive it around on the ground with the gear up since its prop and engine are invincible.

 

Bignewy amd Nineline, 

You guys have admitted several times the ball has been dropped with the Yak. It still has no place in the queue. No plan. No updates. Normally I'd get it but we need a plan so we CAN hold EDs feet to the fire. The neglect of the Yak is unacceptable. I love DCS and I'm a "whale" that buys modules I already own to show support(I gift them to friends who can't afford them or wouldn't consider them). But I expect modules to progress at reasonable rate regardless of how profitable they are or aren't.

Hard to believe this was three years ago…  Abandoned

Hard to believe, after all this time, there has STILL! Been no comment from any of the ED staff, even though they have been called out.

The Yak52 in my opinion shows EDs contempt for its customers, this plane could be polished and finished with a little effort from the skilled ED staff, yet it's a thorn in there side and show how much they care about past modules.

I love DCS still buy most things, but the state of the Yak52 is now starting to wear on me.

I'm not really buying anything else for a while to see if EDs attitude changes.

Starting to feel that way too. I’m also very fond of DCS and have a lot of modules but it is nice just to go back to basics and the Yak fills that requirement, it’s just that it flys like a supermarket shopping trolley that requires constant correction. I’m sure the real aircraft is not like that.

Yea. I no longer buy everything that’s comes out just because. We don’t have any better options to take our business elsewhere so we’re stuck with ED but it’s definitely a hostile relationship.

I would love to have news on the Yak-52. I hope that one day it will be completed.

3 years later, i downloaded the trial, but except for the cockpit modelling it looks and 'flies' like cardboard.

So i guess one of those many many items unfinished in DCS. No buy for me alas.

Even the changes to the Yak in the latest update have been pointless, the Perspex panel between the cockpits and nose wheel tyre texture, I mean, what is the point of that. Where is the handling update and the kneeboard key bind. Sometimes I wonder why we actually bother putting threads on this forum, they never get read by ED
