Honestly, I didn't know where to add this. Since it's the Mi-24 crew, I decided to post it in this thread. 49th Combat Helicopter Regiment, circa 2005. 49th Air Base, present.

Mi-24D

I found a photo I took in 2009.

AI cooperation in the crew would be something.

What sense would that make?

I have similar feelings. Especially when it comes to soviet equipment. Analog cockpits are very atmospheric. In glass cockpits I feel uneasy and get a little lost. ps. The first improvement of navigation information in the Mi-24 for the pilot in Poland was the assembly of GPS Garmin GNC. The cartographer was left in place.

I am pleasantly surprised. 6500m AI-9W cannot be started, 5000m the same. Only at 4200m I could start the engine.

The instructions for the AI-9W state: „The uninterrupted operating time of the engine in the generator mode /power supply of the on-board electrical installation with direct current of no more than 3kW/ should be ...... no more than 30 min, after which the engine must be switched off and cooled down in no less than 15 min." It follows from this that the engine's operating limit is the temperature it reaches during operation. I also found an interesting entry that will have to be checked in the DCS. „Maximum operating altitude of the engine in the air and on the ground /starting the AI-9W engine, receiving air needed to start the helicopter's main engines or work in the generator mode/...... 4000 m."

I played around with the voltages a bit. Mi-8: nothing is on, battery knob I and II, indicate 24V. I start AI-9W, voltages checked, momentary jump on the ammeter to 300A. AI-9W is working, I turn on STG-3, voltage increases to 27(28)V, STG-3 -100A, batteries - 0A. STG-3 off. procedure for starting engines, switching on generators and rectifiers. After switching on rectifiers, the STG-3 ammeter reading drops to 0A and from that moment on there are no indications. AI-9W off, STG-3 generator does not work, does not supply voltage. Checked. Mi-24: battery knob, no indications. I turn on L. battery, R. battery, battery knob - 26V. This is the first difference between Mi-8 and Mi-24. Then everything looks similar, until the rectifiers are switched on, where the STG-3 readings show 80A and only after switching off the generator do they drop to 0A. The rest is similar to MI-8. Checked. To my knowledge, this generally looks like correct operation.

This must be a bug. As far as I know, the laryngophone, as well as the SPU (intercom) in the Mi-24, are not used in the DCS. I have never turned on the laryngophone myself, so I have not had the opportunity to encounter this.

Temperature differences only affect when switching off, engine cooling time (1 min in summer, 2 min in winter). When starting up, whether it's summer or winter, we have the same parameter values, the procedure is the same. 20% of engine speed, the rotor starts. And that's enough for me, and how fast it spins up... At the moment of start it will definitely be good. There are a few little things that could be added to make it even more realistic, but they would not affect the gameplay in any way. Let's not forget that DCS is a battlefield simulator where we focus on something else. One thing I would like to see more refined is Petrovitch. Most of the time it's just additional ballast, and it could, for example, help with navigation or be more active in detecting targets.

Thank you gentlemen for your help. It helped me, the mirrors came back. I checked the operation on: Mi-24, Mi-8, MiG-21, F-14, A-4E and SK 60.

Hi. I have the same problem with mirrors regardless of which plane or helicopter I choose. Symptoms vary. Empty frames, frosted mirrors or fragments of a framed mirror. I'm using the Steam 2D version, ST. Can I force Steam to run DCS in MT? How do I do that?

Hi @sadjad-vosoul It is sad and incomprehensible to me how some people cannot respect other people. This surprises me even more in this place, where we should be united by an interest in the military and a passion for flying without any prejudice. I'm new to the DCS world and just starting to get to know the environment. I found templates created by Rudel_chw, where he posted a link to your skins, and here I got this information. I wish you to meet as many kind people as possible on your path. Rafal

The problem occurs on two missions made by Manfred8081. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3339561/ https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3338675/ Cheers

Hi I have a little problem. I installed the latest version of TeTeT's Vietnam War Vessels 0.5.3. I downloaded a mission using this add-on, but when I want to run it I get a message that Crusader is missing. I wanted to remove the Crusader by editing it so that I could fly in this mission. Unfortunately, I can't edit the mission because... DCS doesn't see the Crusader, but when I create a quick mission myself, I have no problem choosing the F-8E Crusader. Can anyone help me explain what this is about?
