KA-52K 'Grey' camo for the KA-50

A fictional livery created for the Yuktobanian Air Force from the Ace Combat series. This is an entirely fictional skin and is not based on any skins found in the actual games.

Skin featuring a fictional Spanish Army´s FAMET KA-50 Black Shark 2 and used by the Spanish FAMET Virtual (member of Asociación Cultural de Simulación Aérea) for online flights.

Inspired by the Ukrainian Mi-24P skin, I created a livery for the KA-50 III for the Ukrainian Air Force. I call it, the Flying Beast.

This is a mission to test if the socalled In-Ground-Effect (IGE) is actually noticeable.

At altitudes of less then one rotor length the In-Ground-Effect (IGE) should provide some extra lift.
You can try and feel if this is the case by reducing the collective to account for the IGE.
This is barely noticeable at least to myself. Maybe this is not even modelled correctly in DCS?
Any experienced helicopter pilots can maybe comment on this.
In theory with the coaxial rotors of the KA50 this IGE should be more pronounced than with other helicopters.
Unfortunately there are no charts available for the KA50.

** Included are voice overs and charts and pictures explaining the effect. **

It is the 12th of September 2023. Ukraine wants to recapture the "Boyko Towers" in the Black Sea that were occupied by the Russian Federation. The Russian Federation has placed radar sensors on the towers to detect any enemy movements from far away, covering a wide stretch of ocean. Your task is to land on the oil rig at sunrise.

BLUE FORCE since it's Ukrainian. Feel free to change the helicopter to another blue force chopper.

It is the Monday 14. August 2023. Russia has terminated the grain agreement by the UN and actively patrolling ships in the Black Sea. The Russian Frigate "Moskva" has forced the Korean Ship "Korean Rose" to stop and wants to land onboard the vessel with a helicopter. YOU are that pilot flying a KA50-Black Shark 3 and want to land on the helipad of the Korean Vessel "Korean Rose". You are already approaching it at a 90 Degree angle and have to slowly manoeuvre close to the helipad to land.

This livery is freely inspired by the "Alligator" livery of the KA-52 present at the Paris Air Show.

Installation :
Unzip the "Alligator" directory in "\Saved Games\DCS\Liveries\KA-50_3"

This is a PDF of the layout of the hotas controls based on Grim Reapers files for the X56 Logitech Stick & Throttle for the KA50 Black Shark 3.
The Stick and Throttle Joystick Profiles are attached that match the layout.
Grim Reaper files were hardly anything set. This is more suitable to fly the KA50 accurately and easily.
