Model update?

[Mainstay]

Hi,

Is polychop planning on a modelupdate? 
I see there is a partnership for the audio and your redoing the tutorials with voiceovers. 
 

Are you planning the same for the 3D model / textures?

Why? 3D model is good, just textures could be better. The 3D model doesnt need the update.

I see so many errors that they really have to or should improve. Starting with the Helmet, Interior, M4, Smoke M18 and so on. The Pilots look so terrible in VR that I always have to turn them off. In the last 4 years I have watched so many real Kiowa Cockpit recordings on YouTube and I am shocked by the end product that we have now. But the errors that I see are modeling errors and graphic errors. When I see the DCS Kiowa Videos from 2020, I see no difference to today's product.

Without exaggeration. In terms of 3D shape, the model is of a very good standard, and the pilot models are also very good (also in VR). If this is not criticism for criticism's sake, but you want this post to be considered constructive criticism, please post the bugs you notice in the bugs section (corner). Otherwise, unfortunately it is just criticism for criticism's sake. I see that the 3D model has been refined very well and it's actually hard to fault it.

Here is an example of a bug that I actually noticed, but I won't go gray because of it and I will wait patiently for the solution.

I flown this non stop. I see many things that could do with an upgrade. 
But I am with @YoYo here. 3D model is not the first. And nothing is really a dealbreaker.  
Many things in DM is good. And I feel other things is just lacking with it. 
Textures can be upgraded obviously and they did upgrade the Gazelle. I think that will come. To ad a bit positivity. This chopper rocks, I hesitate being negative about it because I easily can forgive its downsides

I don’t think it needs much more than a paint job? Textures, I s’pose? 

The audio’s being taken care of and I’m happy as Larry with everything else. Flown it every day since it was released I think? I’m sure someone with more technical knowledge could find faults but to my eyes it’s pretty good.

When I have time, I will make a video with all the errors that I find. The Video will not be listed on YT. I will post it under the Kiowa Bugs. Here is a picture of the Copilot as an example.  6 errors on the HGU-56/P Helmet alone.

Right, also the pilot has ... sunglasses even if you put the visor. Crazy man ! But I would treat it as a second part of issues for solving, there are other priorities to solve with the KW systems, however right, it should be fixed.

With the visor, it's just worth adding an animation that when put on, the sunglasses automatically disappear (which are cool, btw!).

Funny seeing pics of the pilots like this.

I checked their masks on and off earlier and cracked up at the expression on the co-pilots face. Looks like he needs a bit of time off, poor sausage.

I don’t have them on a lot when in the cockpit as in most of the modules, the pilot models all look naff compared to the quality of most interiors.

The Kiowa Co-Pilot really does need to stop practicing telekinesis though. I’d prefer the more hands-on approach. None of it’s taking anything away from it though, a few bits to improve but I like it .
