RMS - KA-27

[gleaming haven]

This is a re-release of my KA-27 but stand alone with only the Soviet military variants

KA-27 Naval - Blue
KA-27 Marine - Camo
KA-27PV Marine - Camo with 2 different weapon loadouts

Im looking to expand the available loadouts soon. Not a lot of info on the 27PV out on the web but I know they where fitted with anti ship missles.

[steady grove]

Nice

[feral juniper]

What about the transport trucks you have will they become military to ?

If so it would work well for Vietnam scenarios

[elfin ice]

The helicopter corpses are constantly moving, which is why they consume fps at almost 0.

[gleaming haven]

All of them or just the 9M39?

The 9M39 is bugged rn its having some physics issues in general

[gleaming haven]

Not sure. They where not super common in mil use but im not against it

Ill be making FIA version of the KA-27 so ill probably do the same for the Zil-130 give it a soviet light duty and FIA light duty versions

[elfin ice]

all

[elfin ice]

More than anything else, FPS is "without modification".

[gleaming haven]

Im not seeing it on my end or on the heli flight school server

[elfin ice]

I started by testing in a local scenario, then, as you suggested, I checked on the servers. I've tried everything I can, and my conclusion is that it looks like the problem is in the locale, and it looks like I'm the only one experiencing a drop in FPS.

[buoyant geode]

Hey did this mod used to be “Slav life - helicopters”?

I started looking for the Mi-V12 and can’t find it anymore.

[maiden ravine]

This thing is very cool, fun to fly

[feral juniper]

Not for the soviets like if you give it the light green touch like the Soviet truck it would be fine to I’m just trying to get something for my Vietnam scenario because the north used them a lot

[gleaming haven]

Yes the V12 is getting its own mod. The last update killed to V12 so its got a ways to go. Also BIs shit server host for the workshop is making it nearly impossible to upload any mods..

[gleaming haven]

This was the issue lol fixed now

[native topaz]

Excellent work

[gleaming haven]

Soooooooooo I learned a little something about a naval variant of the KA-27 that I will be making tonight.

Let's just say, its going to need to be an optional add on to the mod as I doubt it would be responsible to leave a variant this powerful available at all times lmao

If anyone can guess what it is ill post some teasers

[gleaming haven]

Yup

RYu-2 Tactical Nuclear Depth Bomb for anti sub warfare

Its beautiful. Leave it to the Soviets to make a flying goldfish that can nuke you

reminds me of dis

[soft walrus]

Im pretty sure that at a point we had nukes we could put on helicopters, dont think they wete ever properly adopted though

[ebon needle]

I love the model 10/10 work

[barren dragon]

Why&

[gleaming haven]

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/66D93DDBF634DDAC-RMS-KA-27PL-Add-on

[gleaming haven]

Why not?

[barren dragon]

I don't think it's necessary for mod to work?

[buoyant geode]

Skyhook tends to crash servers after the third save.

[gleaming haven]

Its getting removed soon

[ebon needle]

👀 He released infinite power

I would love to see a version with a side gunner

[buoyant geode]

Great, I know that it kinda sucks to remove it. I also asked Billy Johnson to remove it from his mi26 for the same issues. Plus arsenals fall through the map because of the skyhook mod.

[ebon needle]

Rip arsenals

[remote linden]

IT WAS THE SKYHOOK ALL ALONG??

[gleaming haven]

Yea i was playing with some weird geometry with the plan of letting you walk in it and never reverted the geometry back.

Ill have this fixed in the next update or so as I decided this bird didn't need to be walkable

[ebon needle]

Cheers man it is only a small issue, Other than that i love it allot speed is nice and love soviet helicopters

[ebon needle]

So every time i put ai in the back of the KA-27 helicopter it crashes the server

[gleaming haven]

Very weird ill look into that

[smoky pasture]

need the soviet navy flag on this helicopter

[gleaming haven]

Good catch

[ebon needle]

That looks nice

[smoky pasture]

yep

[ebon needle]

A side mounted gunner would also be nice 👀

[gleaming haven]

Updated to remove Sling load and other fixes!

[native topaz]

I saw it. Do you plan to put it back up later if the bugs are fixed?

[gleaming haven]

What sling load? Yea once he fixes it sure

[feral juniper]

Do you plan on making the wheels retract like the hind

[agile lodge]

They dont retract

[feral juniper]

I thought this was the other helicopter mod with the hind lol

[gleaming haven]

Yes the hind will eventually get gear animations

[rocky crag]

@gleaming haven will there be a soviet camo version? The one used for Mi-8 in vanilla

[agile lodge]

there is alreayd one

[rocky crag]

I did some googling and couldn't find a real green camo version

[gleaming haven]

What are you asking?

[rocky crag]

I mean ussr never used green camo for them it seems

But i mistakingly asked for it, my bad

[fading anvil]

I believe the blades don't have collision because the Spinning Model on Ka_27_base>VehicleHelicopterSimulation, set to KA-27_Top_Rotor.xob, doesn't have the collider interaction layer set to Vehicle, VehicleComplex or similar.

That can be changed by the owner, in import settings.

[ebon needle]

Sooo the copilot seat causes players to crash....

It also crashes the server....

[fading anvil]

same thing happened to me sadly 🙁

[gleaming haven]

crash logs plz

[gleaming haven]

^

i pushed an updtae lmk if its still going on

[fading anvil]

It still crashes when someone hops in the copilot seat

[rocky crag]

Remove copilot seat! No copilot - no problem

[gleaming haven]

I need logs from you

[gleaming haven]

Update:

Added flares
Fixed rotor colliders

[gleaming haven]

Update:

Fixed some UI stuff
Fixed error spamming the logs
Fixed rotor colliders

Other shit i prob forgot

[slender narwhal]

still crashing :((

[gleaming haven]

New logs?

[fading anvil]

It is very easily reproducible.

In a dedicated server: one hops in the pilot, other hops in the copilot. Pilot then crashes

Not quite sure about the server crash thing, it might be the same issue.

[gleaming haven]

I think i know whats up

[gleaming haven]

Try now

[fading anvil]

Sure!

[gleaming haven]

how are we lookin?

[ebon needle]

I personally still had the issue on my server, it is the same when having ai in your helicopter, Also there is a weird glitch where if the helicopter is damaged it floats in the air as if it is frozen in time.

[gleaming haven]

Can you get a clip of that

[ebon needle]

Yeah ofcourse, i will make one later today 🫡

[olive cipher]

@gleaming haven Cool helicopter! I'd like to ask you to add one thing: it's currently impossible to change seats inside the helicopter using ALT. This is a vital feature, and I hope you'll implement it soon!

[gleaming haven]

Will be looking into it, in the middle of a move rn so time is tight

[gleaming haven]

KA-27 Weapon bugs fixed
