Mr. Snrub 0 Posted February 11, 2003 Looks real good - looking forward to it Don't feel you have to rush it though - iron out the bugs etc. before release....there's nothing like a high-quality addon I'd also like to see a couple of different versions, if you have the time - especially a civilian version. I can feel a druglord-assassination mission coming on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Major Fubar 0 Posted February 11, 2003 Yep, a black version as well as cammo would be very nice... </span><table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="1"><tr><td>Quote </td></tr><tr><td id="QUOTE">KA-60 KASATKA (KILLER WHALE) - MEDIUM WEIGHT TRANSPORT HELICOPTER, RUSSIA The Ka-60 Kasatka or Killer Whale helicopter is a medium weight transport helicopter developed by Kamov. Kamov has announced that production will start in 2003 at the RSK MiG LAPIK in Lukhovitsky near Moscow. The Ka-60 is designed for carrying troops, weapons and ammunition to the battlefield, evacuation of casualties and cargo transport using the external hook. Kamov first unveiled the Ka-60 helicopter in 1997 and its first flight took place in 1998. The helicopter went on international display at the MAKS 1999 show held in Moscow. Kamov has announced that production will start in 2003 at the RSK MiG LAPIK in Lukhovitsky near Moscow. As well as the Ka-60 transport, Kamov has developed a civilian utility variant, the Ka-62. DESIGN The Ka-60 has a maximum speed of 300km/h and maximum range with internal fuel of 625km. Composite materials make up about 60% of the helicopter's structural weight. The four-bladed composite main rotors have swept back tips and a 13.5m diameter. The rotors are resistant to 23mm shells. The tail rotor in the tail ring is a multi-blade design with eleven blades. The fan blades are of carbon reinforced Kevlar. The Ka-60 Kasatka has an infrared absorbent coating and a low infrared exhaust in order to reduce the thermal signature. A radar absorbent coating has been used to provide a low radar cross section. The helicopter systems and components have redundancy, the duplicated systems being installed on opposite sides of the fuselage. COCKPIT The pilot and co-pilot/gunner sit side by side with the pilot on the starboard side. The Ka-60 helicopter can be fitted with dual controls. The Arbalet millimetre wave radar is installed in the nose. ELECTRONIC WARFARE The Ka-60 helicopter's electronic warfare suite includes a Pastel radar warning receiver and an Otklik laser warner. WEAPONS The Ka-60 Kasatka can be armed with two seven round 80mm rocket pods, type B-8V-7, or two guns either 7.62mm or 12.7mm. The selected weapons are suspension mounted from a single piece boom installed transversely in the cabin to the rear of the doors. CABIN The cabin can accommodate 16 equipped troops. In a medical evacuation role the helicopter can carry three medical crew and six litters or stretcher patients. The cabin is heated and air-conditioned. A cargo hook allows external loads to be carried. The maximum external payload is 2,750kg. ENGINES The Ka-60 helicopter is powered by two turboshaft engines, type RKBM RD-600V, built by NPO Saturn. The engines have a standard arrangement of three axial stages plus one centrifugal stage with a free turbine drive and take-off rating of 969kW. The helicopter is offered for export with two General Electric CT7 engines. The fuel tanks are filled with polyurethane foam to reduce the risk of explosion. The transmission is resistant to 12.7mm shells. The run dry gearboxes allow the pilot the option to fly to a place of safety in the event of the gearboxes being ruptured. The helicopter is equipped with an Ivchenko auxiliary power unit, type A1-9V APU. LANDING GEAR The helicopter is equipped with retractable reverse-tricycle type landing gear. Shock absorbers are installed on each unit. The main wheels towards the forward section of the fuselage retract inward and upward into the fuselage. The single rear landing unit is twin wheeled and retracts forward into the tailboom. Optional inflatable pontoons can be fitted for emergency deployment on water. <span id='postcolor'>...source...

Shadow NX 1 Posted February 11, 2003 Ok my first post here... Im the Leader of the Mod team Mapper and Totmacher are in. At first i think Drewb99 Kasatka is not bad but it has a lack of details i think. Of course we have to work a bit more on our own Kasatka, for example its still a bit too big and the nose is not 100% correct, i think it will take some time until release but you bet its worth the wait. We plan to make the Cammo version and the Black, and maybe also the Ka-62... ill have to ask Totmacher if he wants to make it but i think he has so much work at the moment, well we keep you informed guys Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Totmacher 0 Posted February 11, 2003 @Major Fubar,. thanks for the informations . The quality of the finished skinns will be the same like this http://www.k-foren.de/attachment.php?s=&postid=605651 and better . This picture iss very old !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
munger 25 Posted February 11, 2003 Totmacher your textures are quality. Which is why you really must release those weapons! OFP needs a good looking AK74. Â Sorry for going OT btw. At last, a Russian light transport (okay, medium ) helicopter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Totmacher 0 Posted February 11, 2003 @Munger,.. Its no weapon thread . This pic does only show the quality of of the Ka-60 textures that can be. Ähhm sry for my bad english  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now author adds noew versions afaik. Mi-2 unfortunately was told not to be released until whole LWP mod (polish army mod) will be complete. And LWP mod almoust died a moth ago, now it has been resurected, but still it seems to take ages till finish... but... because of this fact Mi-2 author told he will think about releasing it earlier...<span id='postcolor'> I'm still working on it. I've some new info and materials (from good sources like Mi-2 pilots and PZL Swidnik facility), so I've totaly redesigned the cockpit and cargo compartment it's looking much better now... Anyways - chopper model/textures are not 100% completed yet. As I told before - I'll release Mi-2 before LWP MOD's release At least one civilian (and police), one russian and one FIA version will be released, but MAYBE I'll made some variants of above versions too. LWP MOD will feature other versions of the chopper than those I'll release first - like URP and URN armed with missiles and rockets and perhaps medevac version in camo you already know from Mi-2's screenshots. I can't promise anything but MAYBE first of those Mi-2's will be released before the end of this month. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

munger 25 Posted February 12, 2003 I'm quite surprised the KA-60 doesn't use the patented twin rotor system that Kamov is so famous for. Still, it looks much better without it, which is the most important thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
