Dear community,

It has been a few months since we first publicly announced that we are working on the OH-58D Kiowa for DCS World.

For the past two years we have been working on the Bell OH-58D Kiowa Warrior. Back then we were not yet certain what flight simulator software we’d be building the OH-58D for but at some point we decided (again) on DCS world.
During the past 2 years we have been talking to a lot of individuals including people from Bell Textron, Eagle Dynamics and the US Army Cavalry community.

Bell Textron granted us a product specific license for the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior for commercial use, which means we were given permission to recreate the helicopter for game or entertainment purposes. Without this license a module for the DCS World environment would not be possible.

With the license also comes a responsibility. Anything related to the product will be subject to demanding quality control procedures. We recognize this as an opportunity and a benefit for the community, the simulation of the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior in DCS World and ourselves as a developing company. The license also grants us access to certain information otherwise not available to the public. Without it, it would simply be impossible to create a lifelike representation of the aircraft.

We are very thankful to our friends of the Kiowa community. These people are or were members of the US Cavalry and were and still are very helpful to us in many ways. They made sure we got in contact with the right people, got our facts straight and have been testing and providing feedback on the module from day one.

With the manufacturers license secured we got in contact with Eagle Dynamics to discuss with them the plans we had for our next module. This started a long period in which possible contracts were negotiated. Negotiations like these are complex, especially when it involves a third party, in this case Bell Textron. In the end all parties have to agree to the terms and conditions.

In October 2019, a day before the Cosford Flight Sim Show, we got the green light from Eagle Dynamics to announce the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior as a possible DCS World module. Even though the contract had not been finalized, at that point we were at a stage in negotiations where it was very plausible all parties involved would come to an agreement.

Today we can announce that all contracts have been signed and finalized. The OH-58D Kiowa Warrior will be released as a DCS World module. We can’t reveal a release date yet. We’ve set our sights on a release in 2020 though.

A few days ago, Twitch streamer ThePaveHawker, rather unexpectedly got to try an alpha build of the module. This turned in to a livestream that went on for 14 hours and 40 minutes. Even though the stream was unplanned and a rather impulsive decision, it was well received. It also gave us the opportunity to answer many questions the community asked us during the stream.
Following up on this, we plan to have a dedicated streamer show the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior in planned events that we will announce to the community in the near future.

We also plan on releasing videos on various systems and procedures to get acquainted with the OH-58D Warrior before release.

Since the flight model of the Gazelle module has been the most controversial part of our products, we pay very close attention to the OH-58D flight model to make sure we get it right this time. We made the flight model and the code behind it our main focus for the better half of the past two years. Only adding avionics and systems later on in the process. Former Kiowa Warrior pilots have been testing and providing feedback on the flight model from day one and continue to do so until they are completely satisfied. When that is the case, the project will be handed over to Bell Textron and their quality assurance team.

You will find most systems operational and accurately modelled in the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior module with some exceptions. Systems not included are either classified or have no use in DCS World at this time. We will go into more details on the avionics in the near future.

In terms of weapons we have already included the M3P machinegun, the Hydra rocket pod with 4 different warheads; 10lb, 17lb, smoke and illumination. In addition we have added the APKWS laser guided Hydra rocket equipped with a 10lb warhead. Of course the AGM-114 Hellfire will be included as well.

With the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior module you will be able to self lase for any AGM-114 Hellfire missiles you have loaded on your helicopter. You can also lase targets for other OH-58D’s or any other aircraft capable of dropping laser guided munitions in DCS World.

Last but not least we did add the ATAS system, which is the name for the stinger block 1 anti-air missile, that was fully functional and integrated into the Kiowa Warrior until its retirement in the US Army. Not many were ever fired, but the system is very potent and gives the Kiowa Warrior a sting capability against fast moving aircraft.

As has been stated before in a number of articles, we initially planned not to include multicrew capability for the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior module. At the time these articles were published, ED had not yet announced their plans of adding multicrew capability to the UH-1 Huey module. We are awaiting the results and hope the new multicrew code will be part of the software development kit. If this is the case we will re-evaluate multicrew capability.

As mentioned before, we will talk more about the avionics in different sitreps or news in the near future, as we will also show features that we have already mentioned in this article.

Overall we are happy that we have the opportunity to bring such an iconic helicopter, a workhorse of its kind, to DCS World and have her live on in our community. We also want to thank Eagle Dynamics, Nick Grey and Matthias Techmansky for all the support and the trust they have in our team and that we will be able to properly produce this magnificent helicopter, which was the first to ever have a glass cockpit worldwide.

Now the big question, when will the community hear next news or see new streams or videos about the Kiowa. We are currently planning to have a scheduled stream with a few people available. What, when and who, will be discussed and announced in a few days. So stay tuned.

For now, the whole team wishes all the best and everybody a merry Christmas 2019

Your Polychop Team

GSPB Serious Ugly Squadron - New Year Meeting
Das Jahr liegt in den letzten Zügen und 2020 lauert hinter dem Horizont.

Der erste Block unseres Winter-Workshop ist schon fast zu Ende und der nächste Bock steht am kommenden Wochenende an.

Wir veranstalten wieder ein lockeres Treffen und wollen diskutieren wie wir Q1-2020 in DCS World verbringen wollen.
Wie auch in der Vergangenheit läuft parallel eine Free-Flight-Mission auf der Caucasus Karte.

Treffen: Dienstag 07.01.2020, 19:45 im Discord!

[Wer Ideen, Fragen, Meinungen und Wünsche hat, kann dies im Discord [https://discord.gg/2WccwBh] unter #qmeeting-2020-1 eintragen.]

 

Hallöchen ihr Uglys,
ich melde mich nach gut 2 Jahren auch mal wieder...
Ich habe nach meinen Semesterprüfungen irgendwie nicht mehr den Einstieg gefunden. Aber jetzt bin ich wieder kurz vor meinen Prüfungen und habe wieder mit dem Mitlesen begonnen und werde nach den Prüfungen wieder mit dem Fliegen beginnen.
Ich denke ich werde aber wieder einiges an Eingewöhnungszeit brauchen bis ich wieder da bin wo ich aufgehört habe.
Ich freu mich noch ein paar altbekannte Namen hier lesen zu können und natürlich wieder auf das Fliegen
Viele Grüße
Sebi

 

Wilkommen zurück, schön von dir zu hören
Wir sind jetzt hauptsächlich bei Discord anzutreffen, das Forum hier ist etwas in den Hintergrund gerückt da es schwer ist hier Infos wiederzufinden

Weekendnews - Die neue Gratiskarte wird die Marianen-Inselgruppe sein
https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=4160206&postcount=232

 

Moin,

mal eine kurze Frage: Welches ist die beste Sidewinder für die F-18? Gibt ja 9L, 9M und 9X. Ist 9X dürfte die aktuellste Version sein?

Gleiche Frage gilt eigentlich auch für die Sparrow und AMRAAM.

 

AIM-9X, AIM-7MH.
AIM-120B kürzer Reichweite als AIM-120C, dafür aber bessere manövrierfähig als die C.

 

Die letzten beiden Newletter haben sehr viel Informationen geliefert.

Im (Newsletter vom 03.01 gab es den Ausblick auf die nächste kostenlose Mariana Island karte! Am Ende soll die Map eine Größe von 1000 km x 1000 km haben, so dass wir bestimmt gut Schiffe versenken 'spielen' können.
Sonst war das Hauptthema die kommenden Flugzeuge für 2020:

• Updates und Upgrades für die A-10C und Ka-50,
• P-47D im ersten Quartal [wenn alles klappt!],
• Mosquito FB MK.Vi folgt der Entwicklung der P-47D, ohne Zeitangabe,
• Mi-24P Hind soll 2020 kommen,
• desweiteren sollen Updates für Hornet und Viper geben und der Huey bekommt seine Multicrew,
• am Horizont sind noch der Kiowa Helicopter, die F-15E und eine MiG-23 [auch ohne Zeitrahmen!].

Im Newsleter vom 03.01, schon angeteasert gab es im Newsletter vom 10.01. einen Ausblick um diverse kommende Features für DCS World

• DCS Supercarrier geht in die Pre-Order am kommenden Freitag; EA am Übergang zu Q2-2020,
• WWII Map - The Channel Map - [PayDLC], das parallel zur P-47D in den EA gehen soll,
• weiter Karten ohne Zeitrahmen sind die Falkland Island Karte von Razbam und die Syria Map von Ugra Team,
• weiter Updates für das WWII Assets Pack sind angekündigt und diverse Updates für den Kern von DCS World:
• Vulkan API Support,
• Lighting Improvement,
• Clouds and Weather Updates,
• Damage Modeling,
• Verbesserung auf den Feldern AI, ATC, FLIR und Missile Dynamics.

 

Nicht zu vergessen: dynamische Kampagne.

"Dynamic Campaign
Work on the dynamic campaign has been underway for over a year, and the progress has been steady on this very complex task. We understand that this is one of the most awaited features in DCS World and we are giving it the attention it deserves.

Much of the work is focused on the dynamic campaign creation tool layers as part of the Mission Editor, developing machine learning mechanics, and creating an AI neural network for the RTS element of the system. The machine learning and neural network tasks are particularly challenging, but we believe they should provide a unique dynamic campaign experience."

 

@ParaBellum du hast den letzten Part vergessen!

... danach rechne ich nicht vor 2021 in der OpenBeta damit!

 

Was lange währt...

Neue Bilder vom Supercarrier, wird wohl heute am späteren Nachmittag in den Pre-Purchase kommen

 

Das mit dem Regen sieht klasse aus

 

Supercarrier ist jetzt verfügbar.

https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/de/shop/modules/supercarrier/

 

Wann soll der denn im EA erscheinen?

 

Irgendwann Ende Q1

 

Mit 24,95 Dollar (inkl. Hornet Rabatt) finde ich den Preis sogar völlig in Ordnung.

 

Joa, aber wenn man so liest, was für Features das Modul bietet, dann ist das auch eigentlich nicht viel.

 

Vor allen Dingen das Carrier/F-18/SU-33-Bundle zu 65$ ist erstaunlich fair/preisgünstig m.M.n....
Für 5$ Aufpreis zum Salepreis der F-18 bekommt man den Träger + SU-33...

 

Da ich schon mein ganzes Leben auf einen guten Flugzeugträger warte, war dies ein Pflichtkauf und dank dem F/A-18 Bundle ist der Preis exellent.
Freue mich, wenn ich mich nach einer längeren Pause wieder in den VR Himmel entfliehen kann.

 

Falls du eine Staffel suchst die eher entspannter und nicht ganz so Hardcore ist sag bescheid.

Im Mulriplayer macht Training und PVE gleich viel mehr Spaß.

 

Sehr schön, Ralfi hat einfach Leute geflimt die AAR versucht haben
