Will the upcoming Mi-8MTV2 have a functional winch whether it is in the beta release or planned for later release?

There are some that use the Huey as troop transport and CAS role, but transporting troops is somewhat 'clunky' as it is not yet a true feature of DCSW

I see ED have got EDGE working then! Big improvement :megalol:

Same here

She is a real lady when you learn her foibles, until then she will do everything in her power to kill you :joystick:

Many thanks for that info, good shout, although I need to brush up on my Russian! :thumbup:

Are we talking days, weeks, or months? Please not months!! :thumbup:

Would prefer a C-130, more roles than the C-17

I know that letting the devs work is probably the best bet, but compared to when the Huey was close to release, we have a sparse amount of info thrown to us by BST

Are we the only ones that actually want to know about the state of the Mi-8MTV2?

Any news on the state of the helicopter, compared to when the UH-1 was coming near to release we have very little info on this gem of a module

I am having crashes also, although I can run missions/mulitplayer it will crash at ~15 minute mark, around the time it takes for me to set up, start up, re-arm/fuel and takeoff :mad:

Hi there and welcome to ED! For Flaming Cliffs, you need LOMAC (Lock On: Modern Air Combat), there is no download for it you will need to order it, secondly, mid-fidelity is pretty much no 'clickable' cockpits, its all buttons and keys but the major systems are mostly modeled like Radar e.t.c (some even have AFM or advanced flight model, compared to SFM or standard flight model, the AFM aircraft feel much more realistic when flying, weight, drag and lift all feel far more real compared to SFM, hope this helps :smartass:

I ran out of options, ten is the max

Doesn't matter, just what you like to fly!

What are you most interest in flying?

We have the M-134s and the rocket pods, but what about other subsystems? :music_whistling:

Nice insight into C-130J ops

At ~8min mark the action starts -Semper Fi

Well, there was an announcement that ED would have a partnership with the Il-2 team, and the developers from 'Rise of Flight' have merged with the Il-2 team, so maybe the vintage A/C could be a message of some thing to come?

Added Wildcat to list

For me, aircraft wise would be: MH/SH60R/S MH-53K Ka-27 Mi-14 Wildcat Along with torpedoes, sonobuoys, VERTREP, Helicopter cruisers (e.g Wasp Class USN), also functional CSAR where if a pilot is downed over water you can winch them up or use the swimmers e.t.c

Great video from HS-14 'Chargers' Sea/Knighthawk squadron's last cruise with the USS George Washington :D

It is possible, just very difficult, you need to decelerate from altitude in a shallow descent, judge how high you want to arrive at 0kts, then you should be in an out of ground effect hover. After that you should simply reduce power until you hit the ground effect, reduce power even more and you should be on the ground, sounds simple, is very very hard to remain in a stable hover without going into VRS :mad:
