Frequently asked questions
Here are the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions asked by the community.
What version of the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior is portrayed by the module?
OH-58D(R) CDS4, dating from around 2016. However, the mission editor has access to options to customize the aircraft to represent older airframes with systems such as AN/ALQ-144 Infra-red Countermeasures, the Pilot Display Unit and the removal of the Mast Mounted Sight.
Can I shoot the M4 out of the door?
Yes
Does the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior module feature multi-crew?
Yes
Does the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior have a datalink?
The Improved Data Modem (IDM) is a similar system that allows for transmission of data between player aircraft. This includes but is not limited to the following features: Free-text Messaging, Target Sharing and Remote Hellfire Missions. The OH-58D is also equipped with the Level 2 Manned-Unmanned System (L2MUMS) which allows for video and data transmission between player controlled OH-58Ds and AI UAVs.
What is the current regular price when not on sale?
$69,99 USD
Will the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior be on sale anytime soon?
No, we are a small company and looking to expand. Due to the long development time we have no financial headroom to participate in any sales at this moment.
Does the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior have a "George-like" AI?
Currently the module has an AI pilot as opposed to the George like AI co-pilot as seen on Eagle Dynamics AH-64 Apache. The AI pilot is capable of performing basic tasks such as take-off, hover, follow flight plan, land and much more. The AI pilot uses a symplefied flight model in order to make it more reliable and do as it is told. The AI pilot allows you to basically take the left seat and work the sensors. The AI pilot is by no means a necessity as due to how the keybinds are set up, you should be capable of flying the aircraft on your own after getting some flight hours in.
Is the module in early Access? If so, will there be a discount?
No, the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior has released as mission ready with all systems implemented and functional. We do not consider the module to be an early access title.
What weapons will are available for this aircraft?
An M3P .50-caliber machine gun, various 2.75 inch rockets (including laser guided APKWS), AGM-114K Hellfire, Air-To-Air-Stinger missiles and the trusty M4 carbine on the dash.
Can we throw the smoke grenades that are on the dashboard?
Yes.
Does the Kiowa have a HMD (Helmet Mounted Display) or HUD?
The OH-58D has an Optical Display Assembly (ODA) (also referred to as Anvis Display Symbology System – ADSS) which is a helmet mounted sight for use with Night Vision Goggles. Optionally the Pilot Display Unit (PDU) can be installed which provides a limited HUD for weapons symbology.
Does the Kiowa have a data cartridge?
Yes – the Personal Computer Data Transfer System (PC-DTS) is a data cartridge system that can save and load data to/from a JSON file. The saved data includes Routes, Waypoints, Target Points, Radio frequencies, Notepad data and more.
Has the FARP Asset pack that was shown in 2019 been released with the Kiowa?
No, sadly it has not. While it seemed like a great idea back in 2019, the implications of having to support and maintain 30+ assets indefinitely have the potential to become a burden on our small team.
Are force feedback controllers supported?
Yes and user feedback on its implementation have been nothing but positive.
Is the flight model of the Gazelle representative of the Kiowa’s flight model?
The flight model (and all other areas of development) of the OH-58D has undergone a rigorous testing process with both our internal SMEs and those from Eagle Dynamics. During the entire development process we have had access to – and direct feedback from – experienced Kiowa pilots and crew chiefs who contribute directly to the validation of the flight model and systems of the OH-58D.
