The model looks great!

I love to be able to turn off that horrible bloom-effect. :) Implementing choice is catering for everyone

I love to be able to turn off that horrible bloom-effect. :)

Why? I suppose effect is pretty nice here.

absolutely stunning! :D

I think we should be careful not to judge the bloom and lighting effects based on screenies. Might look much better in the game.

indeed

Nice model, but the new engine (probably it is the HDR effect) makes everything look "milky" and blurry somehow, dont't you think?

It is nice model. Makes me feel like I need to wear sunglasses tho.

SUBLIME !!!

Wiil be really satisfying to operate together a like chopper with Ka-50.

Thank You very much for this stunning work.

Looks great! The Black shark -> Warthog graphics upgrade will be much more serious than LO -> Black Shark. I'm personally more glad about the Mi-8 3D model upgrade. The LO/DCS BS one was literally haunting :D

HDR without bloom/blur is perfectly achievable. Here in ArmA 1 (the left part of the image):

I am currently using one of these in a mission I have, it lands just infront of where I was taking off, I gave a little yelp when I saw how bad it looks. In comparison this...no actually there is no comparison.

Awesome work.

Very nice!

So, how will we use it in-game?

Does it have a lift/transport capability?

I wouldn't expect any functionality changes there, unless it's been announced. You can just have them fly around and look pretty. We will apparently have the ability to call in other aircraft (if designed into the mission), so it will be interesting to see how that will work. Maybe we can have aircraft loitering until a trigger sends them to their task? Might be able to simulate airlifts using that... we'll see.

Yes, I was thinking of a sequence of zones and trigger events for deploying troops and cargo to forward areas...., or simulating evac/pickups. I'm assuming likewise would be said for all the helo's beyond their inherent combat capabilities. I'll play with concept in FC2.......

It's about time! very nice model thanks a lot!

Will we get it also for DCS:Ka-50? what about FC2?

Or perhaps as a mod for all sims?

That choppa looks great, my ONLY gripe would be the red beacon at the bottom of the helo, how does it manage to shine on certain places of the helo that would be impossible to do in real life.

I.E the rotorblades, on the underside they are all red due to the beacon underneath the heli, also inpart due to the red beacon on the left hand side of the helo, but the red lights extend to the underneath of the blades on the righ hand side of the helo, where no red light should be able to reach.

The KA50 suffers from a similar problem, where the beacon light turns things red, which due to the way light travels, would be impossible to do it real life.

But it is not a big problem and something I can easily live with if ED decided not to fix it, as this sim just gets better and better as each day passes and new info is released.

Nice model, but it looks kind of faded ( so does the sky ). Very ArmA-ish. I would love to see a bright, beautiful world like Crysis. I like ArmA's engine, but I REALLY hate their FADED world ! I hope you guys don't do the same!

If I get you right:

I bet ED devs and testers are a bit tired answering the same 'issues' so I, as a bloom effect hardcore critic, will answer on their behalf :) This effect is optional.

You could always screw with your monitor contrast if you don't like how "faded it looks. That is if you as Bucic says option to keep the HDR effects ON vs OFF.

I happen to like how it looks it will make a huge difference when you see it at 30 frames per second vs a single frame.

It's optional - EOT. Half of bloom effect fans calling it HDR - whole another story :D

of course how silly of me, hehe :doh:
