So aside from the damage model all your gripes are visual?  That sounds like a good release to me.

I gave Polychop a vote of confidence for the first time and I regret about 30% of the purchase of pre-ordering. The Kiowa flight model is very fun to fly and I really liked that. The sounds seem very

Understand! The Kiowa, with these problems I mentioned, makes it already outdated graphically. If this weren't a problem, ED wouldn't be updating all of its modules to current standards. Even the BO-1

Any news what will be in the nearest patch (confirmed changelog but with details)? I think they sent some improvements already to ED for testing.

You startled the Witchs !!! 👻

The first thing I noticed when I got into kiowa was its poor model quality. Guess what ? Not even as good as the Huey and Mi-8 from 10 years ago！（Forgive me for telling the truth so bluntly  🙂 ）

I can't believe that some people choose to comfort themselves and say without shame that "Kiowa does not look worse than Apache..."  Are you serious ? God I'm so lucky my partner covering my six o'clock position isn't them. Because their eyesight is too bad to see the missile coming towards me. They just say "there are no Igla chasing you HONEY ☺️"

I understand what happened to the Polychop in the past years, but guys, it's a business deal, we pay our money and they deliver (including ed, hb, rzb...). Consumers have the right to make reasonable requests and questions to them in non-insulting terms!

Why does ThorBrasil get aggressive verbal attacks from so many people? It reminds me of the gestapo, stasi and kgb! And we all know that these three countries have disappeared🙂

It looks like we won't have anything for Kiowa today.

Wow ! Thats really Bad.

For an module which was not early access, and all the reported bugs here,  this is not nice. 

At least solving the slewing problem should have been in the Update.

Of course: Everybody is lurking for a great exterior and fine modelled interiour. And IMO PC did a fantastic job on this not beeing behind other modules, especially in comparison to the AH-64D or the awesome F-4!

Yep, pretty disappointing considering their previous patch was a very short list too.
(Zero updates for the Gazelle's too - CVS and ALV work but can be unrealistically jerky.)

Well still on the wishlist for me, but not in its current state. Modelwise is far behind other newly released products. F-4, Chinook for example… 

I hope they are working on a 2.0 version when it comes to the interior and exterior. 
Please make it happen 🙌🏼

I don't believe that Polychop will update the 3D and textures to get closer to the F-4E, Chinook and Apache. This is very sad, but hope dies last. It's that old saying, "The first impression of a company is the one that lasts". And it wasn't good at all. Let's see in the future how the development of Kiowa will be, which should be in early access and not as a "complete" module, but as I said... I don't believe it will change. The most it will be will be bug fixes, some improved textures and a new sound. 3D shouldn't change, but if it does, it will be very little. I hope I'm wrong and fall flat on my face!

Didn't Polychop release the Gazelle? It wasn't great and they updated it. Now, it's great to fly and vastly improved.

No reason they wouldn't be working to improve the Kiowa too. Give em time, they've said they're working on the audio. Maybe they'll work on more? 🙂

Yes, they released the Gazelle. 8.3 years ago!

It is not possible to do this. It is a single value regardless of whether it is with or without the doors.

In VR I stick my noggin out just as far as I can when I'm flying my 206 IRL. Seems good-to-go as far as I'm concerned.

I believe you didn't understand his question and what I answered.

He asked if it is possible to set a value to move the camera out with the door and another value without the door.

I answered that the DCS does not allow this and that the value is unique for the version with and without the door.

Regarding what you answered, the Bell 206 that you mention has one and sticking its head out in real life is possible because it does not have an armor plate on the door of your Bell 206 like the OH-58D Kiowa.

Unfortunately, I also have to say that the 3D Model is as poorly Modelled as a free MOD from the Community. I am convinced of the quality of the CH-47F. Great work! 👍

And that's why the Kiowa is dead for me. In VR, the Kiowa is unbearable for me. That's my opinion. It's a real shame. I don't fly the Kiowa anymore. 😒
