Nerron Meyer Posted September 2 Posted September 2 Does anybody can say if the laser code for new Ka-50 is 1113 as for FC3 modules? Or the laser code has been changed with update? As I remember, for the old Ka-50 it was 1113
Akiazusa Posted September 3 Posted September 3 It has been changed ,1113 won't work anymore. 1 Are you going to Scarborough Fair?
Nerron Meyer Posted September 3 Author Posted September 3 I see. Maybe devs can give me a hint were, in which files do I can check the current laser code. I would be extremely grateful
Kang Posted September 4 Posted September 4 Does this imply that buddy-lasing for another type from a Ka-50 is actually working nowadays?
Akiazusa Posted September 4 Posted September 4 (edited) Buddy-lasing for another type from ka50 probably won't work, since it's been changed and nobody knows the code(or if it's even a NATO PRF code anymore),I guess buddy-lasing now works only between ka50s. But for now 1113 still works for su25t. If u want an answer from dev about ka50,maybe u can try Ru ka50 sub-forum using a translator,looks like people who actually did the coding sometimes answer questions their.

Nerron Meyer Posted September 4 Author Posted September 4 I'm asking because if I'll recognize the code for Ka-50III I'll be able to support other 50's with my Apache. Even make them day and night. Anyway, thanks for the advice. I'll try Ru sub-forum
Vital061270 Posted September 5 Posted September 5 Third-party illumination for the Ka-50 will not work. The Ka-50 can only illuminate a target for itself using its own codes and encryption. 1 1 ZAR_Magadan
Kappa-06MHR Posted September 23 Posted September 23 (edited) @Flappie, @BIGNEWY : We are many Kamov in differents squadrons who want to make buddylasing with SU-25 (and why not Mig-29 if they will have any guided laser bomb one day) Can you ask ED about the 3 current laser code number using by the KA-50 now ? Tanks a lot for your answer!! Edited September 23 by Kappa-06MHR
Kappa-06MHR Posted September 23 Posted September 23 (edited) There is multiples topic about KA-50 laser code for years... I think ED must be clarify the 3 laser code using by the KA-50 Topic that talk about lasers code : Edited September 23 by Kappa-06MHR 1
Kappa-06MHR Posted September 30 Posted September 30 "There is an internal request to give the Ka-50 a NATO-standard laser code, but it does not seem to get any traction for now. Probably because devs know well that the Ka-50 never did any buddy lasing in its time. Maybe this request will get clearance one day" 1

The Ka-50 can only illuminate a target for itself using its own codes and encryption. That's not true. The Ka-50 can illuminate for Kh-25 with the Su-25/T. I haven't tried it, but it should be able to illuminate the S-25L and KAB500L as well. (I'll try that when I get the chance). As to the grand question of what laser code Shkval-complex uses (be it Ka-50 or Su-25T - there are minor differences between the two), here is the answer: To explain it simply; the laser code is not a single frequency like you'd otherwise find in a western aircraft. Instead, it is a alter frequency between 1111 and 1788. Thus, it is impossible to achieve any specific code parity, and as such, external lasing from non-Russian sources. Even the Russian laser source has to operate, frequency-wise, as Shkval does. Nerron Meyer: It used to have a set laser code with BS2, as far as I remember, but got changed so as not to allow the unrealistic abuse of lasing for western weaponry. I do for sure remember testing it with success with a former clan member when DCS World unified Ka-50 (BS2) and A-10C. Edited October 9 by zerO_crash 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
