YAK52 updates

[hazzer]

Hi all, 

 

I must apologies at the start of this post, I'm not trying to poke the bear or cause any issues. I don't play DCS as much as I used to and when I do I find myself coming on here asking the same questions I have been asking for years. 

I see for the first time in quite a while the yak has an update but just for the "cooling system". 

Please my I request when the yak will be getting other updates. I still see it as unfinished and not really out of beta. Looking at the bugs, none have been fixed. 

It still looks like there is no LOD model for the aircraft, is that correct? 

I understand it is not a big earner but why make the effort of making cake mixture if you aren't going to put bake it?

I have also got fed up with waiting for three years now for a major update. I don’t want to purchase the module until such times. I used to support ED buying almost everything in the shop even if I wasn’t interested in flying it, I only purchase now if it is an absolute must have. Let’s hope someone new in ED is listening.

I am in the same boat. I own almost everything, but have stopped in recent times due to issues being overlooked, being told products we have paid for aren't a priority etc. It is very disappointing and can only hope there is positive change ahead. I find when I go on DCS I see an issue with an aircraft I am fairly familiar with, go to the forum to report it... and find a post or thread that I have made years prior. 

I still do enjoy DCS but it does take away the shine.

Me too. I quit years ago already, and leaving the Yak twisting in the wind was one of the main reasons. Anyway, getting my coat now since I was just passing by

On MP server I asked why they would not add the Yak-52. They said somehow it was misused because of the damage model was broken and it was invulnerable. People were ramming random stuff with it. I just want to know are you aware of that issue? Is it fixed? Does it even exist? Is it gonna be fixed?

I highly doubt the YaK-52 will ever be finished, but I would love to be wrong. I find it a lot of fun to fly in it and I hope more modules in this "civilian" style come to DCS.

Last time I checked it does not have a full damage model which would explain this. There are some basic expectations of a DCS product that was put to the side because the original customer didn't want them. This has led to us not getting a full fledged product which we expected.

I hoped we would get more things like the yak in dcs, however my feelings changed 1 year after release with the lack of updates etc. The lack of motivation for supporting the product paid for, because its a lower earner and a low priority is disappointing. I imagine it didn't earn enough to wet the appetite to produce anything similar. Same thoughts for the CEII.

And now we're eventually getting the Herc and the Chinook that have about the same value weaponry-wise but can't even do aerobatics. I hope that's a sign of interest in less military aircraft and maybe the little planes that could will get some love after all.

Not a must have but nice to have.

Anything to make this airframe fly straight. I've tried the mod posted in the user files, have spent many hours trying different settings in the settings menu but just cannot get rid of the constant yaw/roll, so annoying.

Going by the changelog, our little YAK has LODs now. Finally.
What else is missing?
Does the radio work with the new VoIP? Has the engine simulation been improved in regards to engine management and over-heating?
I haven't flown the Yak in years (too depressing) so any feedback appreciated. Should i give her a spin as soon as 2.9 lands on stable?

Nothing at all, only LODs. And yes, it doesn't still fly straght.

Wow we got a big patch fix for the Yak today

Shame they didn't fix the radio bug instead thats been reported by many users here, would have been more a more useful fix.
