Truth. Edit: One thing the Mi-8 should really excel at is resupply. Carrying troops, ammunition, cargo, weapons, and so on. I would love to see more missions where Mi-8 pilots can resupply bases. Edit 2: Jump in to our Steam group if you use want to find people to fly with.

Hope you get it sorted soon. Lots of fun to be had!

Does DCS offer axis sensitivity tuning on a per-module basis? If so, perhaps that'd fix the incompatibility between your stick and the module. That seems to be the problem. I'm quite happy to push my stick slightly during flight on an X52 pro. Quick starting in the air is horrible, but after a manual takeoff it feels fine.

If you love the huey, the Mi-8 is also worth a shot. Definitely my favorite. Will prepare you for the Mi-24 as well.

This looks fantastic!

Server browser with stronger support for mods and external resources. Filter by mods, i.e. compatible with current version, auto mod and skin downloads. Pure servers etc. TS3 click to join / ability to copy I.P address would be nice.

An interesting video showing the Mi-8 being used in modern combat operations. What strikes me is the things that the DCS version is missing: Door gunners Observers Binoculars Observers would probably be the hardest thing to implement properly, but having a more information about target and threats from muticrew platforms should be one of it's advantages. BBC Video Makes me wanna fly some more.

This. Flying low level is hard enough. Add a little smoke to the mix and it's game over.

I only skimmed through the video, but it looks very cool. Love the Mi-8. Really need to get more flight time in it.

I would love to see a fully detailed civilian or unarmed helo as a free download for new players. Similar to the P51-TD. Might be a good way to get more players

For all those who bought the Mi-8, you may want to join our Steam group. Always good to have more pilots in the skies. :pilotfly:

Open headphones will still let you hear external sounds.

Agreed. In game voice is a must.

I have a set so headphones that has its own usb soundcard built in. That allows me to have two channels. Worth it if you cnn. Very immersive.

For teamspeak, you should have sound coming through separate headphones if possible. External speakers for game. Headphones for comms.

90fps is a good average to have. Means that you'll be over 60fps most of the time. Limiting the frame rate to 60 may have the added bonus of keeping your gpu cooler and extending its life.

Buying off Steam results in less money for ED. But if you want to have a copy you can use on Steam you might want to do it that way.

Client needs to have the skin installed to see it.

May just be down to flight characteristics. An unbalanced helicopter is harder to fly and less predictable. I can't really imagine much practical benefit of it either. But perhaps we should be able to do it? I don't know.

Agreed. But more flexibility wouldn't be a bad thing if possible in real life.

I would imagine these would get implemented at some point during the Mi-24P development. The sooner the better.

Agreed.

You can do that with scripts, Ultra.

Would be nice if they could implement this.

I'm pretty sure I did it in one version with the shark. If not bs1, then bs2?
