It does work, and you talk over the intercom channel in SRS. The observer/navigator can interact with pretty much everything except the flight controls so makes a useful second pair of hands for the pilot. Most things seems to be synced properly except the trim wheels, which is usually a big problem in multicrew so it's quite a promising start!

Don't need to have an afterburner to have a throttle gate!

Could this tool be updated to include the throttle gate on the Mosquito please?

Until they come along, pull up hard and break as soon as the weapons are released and you should be fine.

Gentle taps on the trim wheel help, but I'm still finding it harder to line up gun runs than the Spitfire.

I've had some success correcting the drift with the rudder trim wheel rather than stepping on the pedals, but I might also try putting a heavier curve on my pedals.

You can do this in the Ka-50 and section 5-10 of the Ka-50 manual calls it the "funnel" manoeuvre.

If you've ticked the box in the special options it is on all the time. Why do you need to check?

I think he's called "Petrovich" because its a default name for AI gunners in the Russian sim community.

You need to use the "Radio trigger" binding not the "communication menu" binding. Comms menu only works on the ground, radio works in the air.

Getting pedals hugely improved my heli control. I have no idea how I would have held a stable hover in the Mi-8 without them.

I thought this until I realised that the 12.7mm Kord door gunner in the Mi8 can kill IFVs

If it all becomes too annoying remember that the Mi-8 is one of the modules where the NS430 actually integrates into the cockpit. I've not had to go there yet though, even on flights from Al Minhad to Fujairah.

I had already convinced myself to try the Hip but I certainly wouldn't have gotten very far without the tutorial series. Some of the best tutorial videos for, well, anything that I've seen.

Yeah but in rl the tree would be out too.
