 Virtavia Ka-50 'Black Shark'

 
The Ka-50 was developed in the 1990s after bitter losses in Afghanistan from ground fire. Unlike previous attack helicopters, the Ka-50 adopted a single man approach, light weight, extensive armour and considerable firepower, all of which lead to a very powerful and highly manoeuvrable battle field surviving attack helicopter. Like previous Kamov helicopters the Ka-50 uses twin contra rotating main rotors which negate the power sucking tail rotor seen on other helicopters and make the aircraft safer to re-arm and re-fuel whilst still running in a combat quick turnaround situation. The Ka-50 is fully acrobatic and able to perform loops, rolls and the highly effective 'funnel' manoeuvre, also called circle strafing. This requires the nose to be pointed down at the target and for the helicopter to fly sideways in a circular motion around the target, thus eliminating all areas of cover. Primary weapons are the Vikhr laser guided anti tank missiles and the semi fixed 30mm cannon either side of the fuselage. Being semi fixed allows greater rigidity and thus accuracy at range, the contra rotating rotors with no lag from a tail rotor system allow rapid rotation in the yaw axis both left and right equally' a flight system aligned to the pilots head sights sees that the cannon/airframe can be traversed and lined up almost as quickly as the free ranging turret on the AH-64 Apache.

Ein cooles Teil und unglaublich wendig.
Genau wie der AH-64D Apache Longbow von Virtavia welchen ich mir zuvor gekauft habe ist der Ka-50 Black Shark von den Funktionen her recht einfach gestrickt und Kunstflüge sind auch mit diesem Heli kein Problem :)
Die Optik ist außen wie innen einfach klasse und der Sound ist ebenfalls gut.

REALWORLDSCENERY - HOMER ALASKA AIRPORT - PAHO - MSFS
tim
Its great to finally have Homer Airport for MSFS! the performance is great and the amount of detail put into the airport is top-notch. Everything is perfect about this airport and it is a must have when you like to fly around in Alaska! Great job RWS for another superb product!
WAUCHULA STUDIOS - TTCP ANR ROBINSON INTL AIRPORT TOBAGO MSFS
Alex
A fantastic rendition of the airport and the highest quality TTCP you can get. A huge thank you to the developer for the work done.
SCENERYTR - ISTANBUL AIRPORT LTFM MSFS
Peter
For the price, for such a large airport, I think this deserves 4 stars. Unlike other reviewers, I've not noticed performance issues, despite having a slightly older PC ( i7-8700k, GTX1080). There are some rough texture issues and its by no means flash, but again, for the price, that's OK, as it's such a big airport. My main disappointment is the lack of traffic, which is nothing to do with SceneryTR, but is currently an MSFS limitation, which I'm sure will get fixed in an upcoming release!
FSDREAMTEAM - CHICAGO O'HARE VERSION 2 - 2019 P3D4.4+
Udhy

ROBI_613 - RANS S6S LIVERIES PACK MSFS
Momcilo
This is a very nice livery set! Author definitely put work into making it look very interesting and appealing for the eye. I like it
Z DESIGN STUDIOS - MERRIL C. MEIGS FIELD (KCGX) PROFESSIONAL MSFS
Mark
Lots of great details, even the curbs by the terminal are rendered. This is a delightful addition to the "Dr.Z" Chicago Landmarks. They work great together as long as you change the Meigs mod's name from "aa_..." to "zz_..." (just changing the first 2 letters). I hope that SimMarket can remove my previous 3 star review because those issues were caused by the buggy MSFS airport included as part of the 40th Anniversary update. As long as you remove the default airport in the Content Manager, this delightful version of Meigs will look great.
SHORTFINAL DESIGN - SAN FRANCISCO AIRPORT XP11
Yngve
Great details, superb FPS! Im gonna buy everything this guy sells. The airport is beautiful and I am enjoying my flights in and out of SFO so much more now.
SHORTFINAL DESIGN - SFD GLOBAL X-PLANE 11
Yngve
For those who could not be bothered with, or have the time to do Ortho4XP, this one is for you. It is utterly worth the money. I say its worth even more! The difference between no SFD Global and SFD Global is significant and you will be flying around with a glee looking out the window, compared to default Xplane autogen. Gotta love SFD!
