I hope electrical system overhaul is also planned Indeed. It has a great potiential to be a 100% full fidelity module.

Skysurfer Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 So it seems like they removed the President-S system in these latest renders? Guess legal issues with the russian DOD? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike_Romeo Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 (edited) 25 minutes ago, Khallimero said: Agreed. So what is this BS3 nonsense ? My guess is that ED is running short of money and that they will give the Ka-50 two extra pylons and 3 Iglas per pylon (like on the KA-52) to get as many sales as possible. They admit that the KA-50ED/BS3 is a fantasy helicopter and since they are just prototypes, that they can do what ever they want.

veenee Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 (edited) why not put some R-77s on it, too then? looks like they didn't plan on those extra pylons initially Edited April 30, 2021 by veenee So many modules, so little time... www.mikphotography.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it not a full fidelity module now? I am familiar with the Huey and Hip but not really the Ka-50. But I hopped into it for a look and it looks pretty nice - my understanding is that it recently had a texture refresh. But they're updating it once again in the near future? It would be nice to have this attention paid to the F-86 and F-5 as well, but it seems to me that the existing Ka-50 already looks pretty good inside. But again, I'm not intimately familiar with the functionality. Modules: Wright Flyer, Spruce Goose, Voyager 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrohde Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 So just to pick up on what Skysurfer said above - the latest screenshots no longer show the President-S system. Can anyone from ED shed a light on that?

Quote Note: Due to new Russian Federation laws pertaining to the gathering of information of Russian military equipment, we have had to reconsider our plans to add new systems to the Ka-50.

Schnelli Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 (edited) If we compare the information about BS3 from the weekend news from Jan 3rd 2020 and the current newsletter, can we conlcude that this new russian law only killed the implementation of the "Integrated Directional Infrared Countermeasures (DIRCM)"? It is the only announced feature that hasn´t been mentioned. Edited April 30, 2021 by Schnelli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BranchPrediction Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Well, im happy that the ka50 is still getting them upgrades. Sucks a bit that it never flew in this configuration but its alright. Single Seater Beast KA50 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skysurfer Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 Honestly, if it's a made up variant that mixes in some features from the 52, I'm fine with it. Which then again begs the question why not make a 52 to begin with? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ResonantCard1 Posted April 30, 2021 Author Share Posted April 30, 2021 Yay, the BS3 is going to be a 100% fantasy module! I wonder why ED doesn't give it a radar, FLIR, Hellfires, Amraams, JDAMs, JSOWs, CBU-107s, Meteors, AIM-260s, SLAM-ER, Triple Mavs in every station and HARMs everywhere. Now that it's basically fantasy why not go the extra mile? People would love to get the SUPER CAPABLE KILLING MACHINE that the BS3 can become.

Make up your mind. 30 minutes ago, Skysurfer said: Which then again begs the question why not make a 52 to begin with? See every thread on modern RedFor ever created. It's going to be missing most of the stuff that actually makes a 52 unique, and is at best a ''lightly modified'' variation of what we already have. It changes relatively little. A 52 would change quite a lot.

Make up your mind. I don't remember asking for them, but let's say I did. This being a simulator (or at least a game that tries to represent *real* aircraft in a *reallistic* way), if the Ka-50 couldn't use Iglas then it can't get them no matter how hard people asks for them. I haven't seen anything actually saying that it can mount them, let alone use them. EDIT: It'd be a different matter if it could mount them and use them but ED chose to not add them (for example the tandem bomb racks in the MiG-29 9.13S).
