Is it possible to upgrade a copy that was originally bought on steam and later transferred to the standalone version?

[@mungo7136]

@@jaakkojouppila9965 You can transfer module to the standalone? You can pair your Steam licenses with DCS system and use then DCS version ... , that's it, right? Guess then you should be able to buy upgrade on Steam - it worked for me this way for A-10 module. BS3 upgrade is there somewhere down the list. (Now I have to search, where I bought older module - I do not remember if on Steam or already on DCS.) Question is, if you can combine it - Steam BS2 + DCS BS3 upgrade ???

[@Voodoo_S3]

I own BS2 on Steam despite this the upgrade is £57.12 on Steam. So I bound my Steam account to DCS account and the BS2 product license were transferred to DCS account but it says the upgrade is full price $69.99 in the DCS e-shop/shopping cart too. Edit: Nevermind, BS3 upgrade has its own Steam store page separate to BS3... that I somehow managed to miss.

[@krystian0128]

@@hansloyalitat9774 Completely different kind of helicopter. The Hind is to be used as a ground attacker when there are little missile threats (SAM, MANPADS, so on); The KA-50 can be instead very versatile in such contexts, as it's very agile compared to the Hind and can engage its enemies from afar (about 8km). I honestly enjoy both.

[@Kostet91]

@@mirtaet123 из простой игры дкс уже вырос, для меня новая техника - это Ми-24, Апач, Ф-16, Мираж Ф1. Очень жаль, что презентации российской/советской техники мы видим реже, но здесь ничего не поделать. За данные по Ф-16 Олег Тищенко на год с лишним в тюрьму попал. Можно только надеяться, что раз Ка-50 было позволено внести в симулятор, то получится и Ка-52, хотя бы урезаной версией.

Very impressive as always.. Thank you DCS.. you wonder why not all choppers dont employ the same coaxial rotor design after experiecening the ease of flight contol of Ka 50 Black Shark.. beautiful chopper.. and incredible work from DCS Teams! upgrading right away to support the DCS team..

[@paristo]

Because there are some other dangers in them, like collision of blades in wild maneuvers with too high collective. In the second Chezenya war pilot pulled crazy 65 m/s vertical speed to avoid mountain, and nothing happened. But there is video of KA-50 losing blades. The general who died in that accident had said that mountain operations should be performed only with KA-50 as strong gust winds doesn't affect it at all like traditional helicopters. And ship deck landings are superior as well with coaxial. ED should really do KA-27 and KA-29 to DCS world. To give Russian marines and ASW capability.

The level of detail on this model is stunning. You can see the letters on the inside of the landing gear tires. You've outdone yourselves again! Now if we could just get the Stingers on the Apache...lol sorry Wags. I try and get my suggestions in where I can.

[@paristo]

In reality they can install stingers to American Apache by removing MWS sensors in tip of wings. And it should be done possible in simulator as well because it doesn't cost anything or take time in hangar to be done. Similar thing is with APKWS II rockets, Apache, Huey, Hornet, Viper etc are all 100% compatible with them regardless the year, because it is a weapon (Hydra-70 rockets) upgrade and not the platform upgrade (aircraft). Just set time limiter to 2015-2018 for mission time to allow APKWS II be loaded in any Hydra-70 pods in any aircraft. If someone doesn't like, don't allow them in mission, or don't make mission newer than those years!
