Ka-50 cockpit version with 3 MFDs:

 

 

7:31 into the video.

 

 

Hmmm...

Hmmm...

That's the ka-52.

[Brute]

That's the ka-52.

 

 

Look again, carefully. The cabin is that of a Ka-50, NOT Ka-52.

The depth-of-field in the footage could be making the cockpit look smaller but that's definitely a Ka-52. Look at him sitting in there, the middle MFD is in front of his right arm so he's sitting to the left of it.

thats the ka52 .

[Brute]

Once again. It's a Ka-50 cockpit. Look at the window's shape, location of the instruments, switches, dials, 3 MFD's instead of 6, look at the tunnel passing between the technician's legs. Distance from the gear lever to the leftmost MFD, distance from the fire extinguisher control panel to the rightmost MFD. It's a single-seater cockpit, alright. You have to be blind not to notice it.

 

 

Here's the Ka-52 cockpit for comparison:

 

 

 

[eurofor]

Now I'm not sure. Maybe. :huh:

It´s a Ka-50N for sure.

 

"Ka-50N (Nochnoy: Nocturnal): Also reported as Ka-50Sh. Night-capable attack version; essentially a single-seat Ka-52. Programme began 1993; originally based on TpSPO-V and Merkury LLLTV systems, which tested on Ka-50 development aircraft. Ka-50N first reported April 1997 as conversion of prototype 018 with Thomson-CSF Victor FLIR turret above the nose and Arbalet (crossbow) mast-mounted radar, plus second TV screen in cockpit; FLIR integrated with Uralskyi Optiko- Mekhanicheskyi Zavod (UOMZ) Samshit-50 (Laurel-50) electro-optic sighting system, incorporating French IR set. First flight variously reported as 4 March or 5 May 1997; programmed improvements included replacement of PA-4-3 paper moving map with digital equivalent; by August 1997, FLIR turret was repositioned below nose and Arbalet was removed; by mid-1998, had IT-23 CRT display replaced by TV-109, and HUD removed and replaced by Marconi helmet display.

 

 

¡¡¡ Proposed new cockpit shown in September 1998, having two Russkaya Avionika 203 x 152mm LCDs and central CRT for sensor imagery. ¡¡¡

 

 

Indigenous avionics intended for any local production orders; French systems as interim solution and standard for export. Republic of Korea Army evaluated both the Ka-50N and the baseline Ka-50. In 1999, pre-production aircraft 014 was exhibited with a UOMZ GOES sensor turret in place of Shkval. "

It's an even newer model.

 

I think the version of the cockpit described above is this one:

 

 

 

 

While the one in the video appears to be closer, more inline with the modern Ka-52's cockpit using the same MFDs, etc.

 

Here's an old version of the Ka-52's cockpit:

 

[Groove]

Stop the at 2:16, what do you see?

DCS:BS 3d models! :thumbup: Nice!

[X-man]

Looks more like LOMAC to me ;)
