I can remember hearing from someone that Heatblur mentioned a future helicopter module, which makes this even more likely. Let’s hope the negotiations go well and we will get not only that Swedish anti-tank Bo-105Hkp-9a, but also the German anti-tank Bo-105PAH1A1, the utility Bo-105VBH and the Korean Scout Bo-105 CBS-5 KLH
Especially that last one, since it looks like it has the same sensor/designator ball as the OH-58D
Ok - just to clarify things.
I am no more under control of the BO-105. It will be a joint venture with a 3rd party and me. Again. the BO-105 is in the pipe but we all need to wait until she’s in the first row. I’m also not happy with this situation but that’s life -> unforseen stuff always lurking in the background. Furtheron - I’m not a coder. If I was, she would already been released. ED code is very special and it needs 1 Year+ to understand all it’s functions and how to get things work properly. The only solution is that one have to contact an experienced team which is familiar with the code.
I cannot say it often enough - Please be patience
Christmas is waiting and I know that it’s another pretty hard wait for the BO-105. But we gonna advance
In the moment I’m bringing the 105 to the standard quality level of the 3rd Party to reflect the overall look as close as possible.
Dispite of that and of cause it’s christmas - I want to give you a Ramp Start Video of the 105 done by Roie Gat. It was recorded about 1 1/2 Year ago.
(I contributed to the project, the Bo is one of my favourite helicopters, and judging by the conversations I had with Ollie he is a pretty cool and hard working dude. Sad).
What a shame. Was really looking forward to that particular helicopter and IMHO it would have fit in well with the DCS World time frame. You can’t win them all I guess. Such is life.
Goes to show what a difficult task it is to put these modules together…and I guess you need people with not only the skills but a passion for the topic, as anyone skilled enough to develop DCS modules would probably be able to get a higher paying job developing a less niche product.
Almost exclusively for the mod scene, and coder/scripter is the hard to find commodity. With DCS being as complex as it is, there is certainly a small pool to work from.
I guess this it is better for this to happen now rather than having a repeat of the VEAO Hawk story. It’s a pity though, as I would have enjoyed flying it.
With friday 24th 17:10, both parties (RAZBAM and MILTECH) signed the NDA for the BO105.
A long awaited dream will come true - and I’m more then happy that the 105 will taste the air of DCS WORLD !
Info:
The Textures of the German PAH1A1/VBH, the Korean KLH and the swedish HKP will be updated to a more professional look.
I’m currently on the HKP…So as soon as she is done I gonna upgrade the PBR look of the German Versions…
