Koriel Posted December 15, 2018 Posted December 15, 2018 The introduction of the Yak was a bit casual, a hotfix was released quite quickly. And after that it's been quiet. Has development of the Yak grounded to a halt? One of the most glaring shortcomings of the Yak is still the visible damage model. Seeing an intact model with some Spitfire parts strewn around it is a bit offsetting. Flying with parts missing, but still seeing an intact plane is immersion killing. So, ED.. when are you going to fix the Yak? I realize that you have a ton of work on your plate, but releasing an unfinished product and just continuing work on other modules is not the way to go.
Hoffster Posted December 15, 2018 Posted December 15, 2018 I agree about the long time since we got a patch. The cold start was more realistic at launch. Now it instantly jumps to life regardless. Also the excessive flap drag was still there when i last flew it. Other than that i am happy with it.
adrianstealth Posted December 15, 2018 Posted December 15, 2018 I’ll maybe pick this up when it’s more complete etc Looks like a nice pleasure flight plane
Nealius Posted December 16, 2018 Posted December 16, 2018 It honestly feels like abandonware at this point. The startup issues were reported months ago and have gone totally ignored. I used to fly the Yak a lot for fun, but part of the fun for me is flying an aircraft ramp-to-ramp, engine start to engine shutdown. I shelved it once the engine start sequence became broken.
msalama Posted December 16, 2018 Posted December 16, 2018 Cannot be abandoned if it's a contract job for a 3rd party as stated by ED. They just have too much stuff on their plates ATM and this is in the queue somewhere, I'd guess. So let's wait. The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.
Koriel Posted December 16, 2018 Author Posted December 16, 2018 That's all good and well, but looking at all the fixes every two weeks for the Hornet... The fixes required for the Yak won't take that much time, and then they can put a "released" stamp on this one and move on. Only 3 items on off the top of my head: Fix start-up. Visible damage modelling Multi-crew sync issues with smoke
msalama Posted December 16, 2018 Posted December 16, 2018 There're others, at least if one believes the critique, such as the flaps producing too much drag and even the ADF receiver is still inoperative. So there's plenty of work to do still. The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.
Justin Case Posted December 19, 2018 Posted December 19, 2018 This is my assumption based on my experience (perceived or not): Bugs will eventually be fixed but it will take place behind the scenes without much noise from Wags or any other news source within ED. This happened with the L-39, (some) things got fixed but no words from any developers about it. It works but it’s a bit frustrating. http://www.masterarms.se A Swedish Combat Flight Simulator Community.

This happened with the L-39, (some) things got fixed but no words from any developers about it. It works but it’s a bit frustrating. There are a few items that could very well be fixed quickly like the MP smoke, the engine start to name just a few. Even a statement or an acknowledgement of the items to be fixed would be welcome. The F/A-18 gets fixes or additions every 2 weeks.. Why not spend just a some time to fix the Yak?
Justin Case Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 Because the Hormet sells. I agree with you though. http://www.masterarms.se A Swedish Combat Flight Simulator Community.
gulredrel Posted December 20, 2018 Posted December 20, 2018 I also would like to read some statement about how the implementation of missing/WIP things will go on. Really quiet compared to the F-18 stuff. Especially interested in the ADF equipment with fixed channels inner / outer frequency.
hazzer Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 So is this ever going to be worked on again? RTX 2080ti, I7 9700k, 32gb ram, SSD, Samsung Odyssey VR, MSFFB2, T-50 Throttle, Thrustmaster Rudder Pedals
msalama Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 Ever again? This is a contract job for a private customer and we're just getting it on the side, so I'm going to guess that yes, it is indeed going to be worked on again. Or if not, the original plan must've fell through and we're up the creek without a paddle. But if so, this is going to be the last EA product I'll ever purchase, here or elsewhere. Anyway, would be nice to get a status report or something. Because all we've seen lately is cobwebs. The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.
Alpenwolf Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 ED has announced reworking on the Ka-50. Not sure about the A-10C. Looks like they're attending to their older modules after all these years. So maybe the plan is to give all their modules a nice polish one at a time starting with the older ones? If that's the case, then great news! On the other hand, Yak-52 pilots would have to wait for quite a while. Who knows...

Hoffster Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 How long since we had an update for they yak now? It get the impression that it has gone down in the priority list and the team has moved to something else. For me it has been put in storage. Hopefully not for many more months...
Mig Fulcrum Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 I hope to see some fixes for this spring/summer such as a damage model, high drag flaps behaviour, ADF navigation, landing gear missing texture, engine sound bug, immediate engine start, absence of pilot models and maybe some more skins.
hazzer Posted January 3, 2019 Posted January 3, 2019 why release something if its not going to be worked on anymore? RTX 2080ti, I7 9700k, 32gb ram, SSD, Samsung Odyssey VR, MSFFB2, T-50 Throttle, Thrustmaster Rudder Pedals
msalama Posted January 4, 2019 Posted January 4, 2019 "If"? Being the obvious subject matter expert about things left unfinished, care to tell us how you arrived at the conclusion of this module having been abandoned? Or, alternatively, why not stop trolling altogether and do something worthwhile instead? The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.
1987kess Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 I've been waiting the Yak-52 to be on sale and I finally purchased it. I hope they fix and implement the ADF navigation. Another option would be to integrate the NS430 like in the L-39C (not just the overlay mode). That will improve a lot this module, as I only current take off, navigate and land in VFR. I would love to do some bad conditions or night navigation with this plane. I know the F/A-18 and other modules has alot more attention but please continue supporting this one. Regards
msalama Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 please continue supporting this one. Looks like this aircraft is on the back burner now since nothing has happened in ages. Yeah, finding it a bit disconcerting too, even if I may've been a bit salty towards doubters and naysayers in the past. ED, please tell us what's up with this bird :( The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.

msalama Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 Yeah. Would still like to hear about its dev progress if any. The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.
norbot Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 Can't see anything new. The 'English' cockpit ist still a mixed mess of English and Russian labeling. I suppose it can't be so hard to fix that - but well, they probably have more important things to do.
dovla Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 Looks to me that plane reaches speed of ~300 km/h much easier than before patch or two. or I just got false impression
ST0RM Posted February 7, 2019 Posted February 7, 2019 I think you've answered your own questions about the future of this. Not even acknowledging the bug reports speaks volumes.
