Hunter Helicopter - Some questions and concerns based on previews...

[STK]

KF Team,

I've been watching with interest following the announcement of the "Hunter" helo that's allegedly coming soon. I understand that I should not expect DCS AH-64 fidelity, but I noticed a few things that to me are glaring, and am wondering if you guys are still at the "accepting feedback" stage, especially if the feedback is, at least in the opinion of myself and a few people I've talked to, reasonable to attend to:

1. The depicted aircraft seems to lack landing gear strut compression, or compression to the degree that is appropriate for a fully loaded and fueled helicopter of this type compared to images of the real thing. Do you plan on adjusting the helo's stance on the ground to show increased gear compression so it doesn't sit too nose-high?

2. On the HMD, it looks like the compass heading you're on, plus the airspeed, the vertical speed, and the waypoint DME display all have black backgrounds on them. As it's a HUD-like HMD, the background for all numeric displays should be transparent. Also, color-wise your choice should be consistently green for the HMD, no blues and reds. 

3. For the keypad on the left side of the cockpit, it appears that the screen is correctly black in color while the system is off, but once powered on, I'm seeing a beige screen with black letters/numbers. Can this be changed so that the screen remains black, and that the letters/numbers are yellow-green? (same color as the main-panel advisory/warning display text)

4. I have yet to find a picture where the standby/backup instruments are encapsulated as one digital display. All images I'm showing show a three-gauge cluster of analogue black and white attitude indicator, along with analogue altitude and airspeed indicators. Can this be adjusted, or can you provide an image showing the helo in real life with this type of digital display? It stands out due to it's colorfulness and fidelity as out of place compared to the tech in the rest of the cockpit. 

5. On some preview videos and images, I'm seeing a desert-themed livery that seems like it's 90% towards an Israeli depiction, but missing the markings. Will this be fully completed as an Israeli one? 

I'm not focusing on systems outside of the above visual depictions as I understand that may be out of scope for this project, but I think the above are minimum-viable basics. 

Looking forward to seeing more on this project in the coming weeks!

It looks like it was released with a lot of issues unresolved other than strut stance. Can I get the courtesy of a response to the other concerns? I see from other support issues with other KF aircraft they perhaps they don’t care to respond often to customers?

Of course we care and we sincerely apologise if you feel that isn't the case. I've forwarded the list in the original comment to the team and we'll take a look at what can be done. Thank you and I hope you are enjoying the product if you got it 🙂

Loki,

I appreciate the update and notification that the concerns were sent to the team. I'm also tracking developments and statements from representatives both at Avsim and on the MSFS official forums, and am excited to hear strong consideration for a more fully-featured and accuracy-focused model. I hope that is seen to fruition. Thanks again for the update.
