More skins for Ka-50?

[zerO_crash]

Considering the nuances of modern scenarios, and the fact that the Ka-50 is fully applicable in those: Is there any chance of integrating more Ka-50 skins into the core DCS, in order to allow for more credibility? I´m thinking about Ka-52 skins adapted to Ka-50. It would be great to either have ED-created or by a competition process within the community.

 

I appreciate an answer on this, as I don´t see "modded" skins as a reliable way of going about this request, especially considering that it can corrupt the installation.

I've created a EAF Ka-52 based livery: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3331040/

Splendid-looking skin! Just another example why ED should add them to the default line-up of the module. Ka-50 is such a module that can both be used by the west, as well as east. It adds diversity, and again, if simulating a fictional future conflict, then it adds to the plausability of such a theatre. Again, fantastic work on that skin! 

 

@BIGNEWY @WAGS - Any chance on pushing this forward?

Inspired by the blue grey livery used for export and Russian models:

Stumbled on this and figured I'd share some in case anyone's interested. I don't know what steps there are for DCS to officially include skins, but I'd be happy to toss my stuff in the default game if it meant more people got to enjoy them. 

I made an IRIAA Ka-50 III Skin a little bit ago, based on my first ever DCS skin that was for the original Ka-50. 

I also made a digital IRIAA skin based on their AH-1W and AH-1 skins:

Then my final Ka-50 III skin was one for the Ukraine Army Aviation. It's based on the default Mi-24 UAA livery in the game.

These are all too good not to have them in DCS. The realism aspect is particularly tempting. I'll talk to Chizh, see if ED is open for adding more for our shark. Thanks for posting these, and keep them coming, especially if they are realistic Ka-50/-52 ones!

I appreciate the kind words! I've been meaning to wrap up some other skins I've been working on. I made some "default" Abkhazian Air Force skin for the MiG-21 that I need to just wrap up a few things on.
