Hello, I've bought this campaign full price to support the initiative to make campaigns for the Mi-8. I have not flown the campaign yet but do hope that a patch will be released sometimes for this autumn? By the way, there is a review of The Border Campaign on Mudspike : http://www.mudspike.com/dcs-the-border-campaign/

Two years ago when I started DCS, I could complete the Spring Tension campaign by navigating only through dead reckoning. I had a hard time but I did it. Now with the Oilfield campaign, I was forced to learn the Doppler system, NDB navigation, and sling load operations. So thanks for that :) At this time, I'm at mission #8 "Rotation".

Cibit and Art-J, many thanks for your ultra-fast answers and valuable tips. I created a mission with a USA Mi-8 and indeed it works. Problem is when I'm flying the Oilfield campaign, the chopper is Russian. So I'm afraid I will have to use English radio voices for Russian aircrafts MOD https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.c...files/1412070/

Hello, I have been absent for 2 years and have juste reinstalled the Mi-8. As I understand Devrim's english cockpit is now fully part of the Mi-8 and not a separate MOD anymore. If so, congratulations Devrim! And many thanks!

Hello, I am currently learning sling operations and I am most interested in the english automatic voice assistant, which guides pilot where to and at which distance pilot must move helicopter to achieve presise hover over the load. I found the sound files: C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Sounds\Speech\Sound\ENG\Mi-8MT\Messages In DCS options, I have: Special > Mi-8MTV2 > Customized Cockpit = English Gameplay > Avionics Language = English But no english voice for sling operations. As the english soundfiles are available, why should I use the English radio voices for Russian aircrafts MOD https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/1412070/ ? Is there an option that I mislooked?

Many thanks QuiGon and SkateZilla, for those valuable explanations!

Got it C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\Mi-8MTV2\Doc

Hi, I have an old version (2014) of: DCS Mi-8MTV2 QuickStart EN DCS Mi-8MTV2_FlightManual_EN I now have installed the official release of the Mi-8 I searched in DCS directories but cannot find the last version of those documents

Thanks some1. I did not know it is possible to prevent the updater from updating or revert to an older version

Hi, When DCS 2 is out of alpha/beta and is released officially, will it be possible to continue to use 1.5 even if it is not supported anymore? I am asking because I fear that my PC will not be powerful enough to run 2.0 and maps like Nevada in fluid conditions.

All right, thanks for your answer

Hello Laivynas, I'm curious: How many hours went into the making of the Oilfield campaign? Do you intend to create other "civilian" campaigns for the Mi-8?

Many thanks, I got it and it works!

Laivynas, can I have your help?

After 2 years of absence I am back to DCS and happy to see the Oilfield campaign for Mi-8. I've just flown mission #1 but I like a lot the concept of civilian flight! I'm surprised there is no more feedback on this campaign! (especially that there is no new campaigns everyday). Many thanks Laivynas!

Hi, I read that Flight charts are included pilot’s kneeboard: https://www.helisimmer.com/news/released-mi-8mtv2-oilfield-campaign-dcs/ However when I hit Right Shift + K during a campaign, only the default yellow paper shows. No Oilfield flight chart?

You are right Cibit, I forgot. Actually it is for DCS 2 OpenAlpha and I forgot to tick the trim mode as I did for 1.2.16. When thing go right for a long time, you end by forgetting how you set it up. Thanks.

Thank you, Esac_mirmidon, for your explanation.

Hi, When I activate the trimmer on the MI-8 via the joystick button, I can hear a sound but the trimmer is not working.

Hi, I created a Mi-8 mission based on the Cold and Dark .miz The only change I made was to set "Take off from parking Hot" and I get red glowing instruments.

Thank you. I found it : Options > Special > Mi-8 Weird to have a chinese langage selection and not english or another langage.

Hi, I installed the Mi-8 in the OpenAlpha DCS 2.0 and I get chinese characters instead of russion characters in the cockpit. Anyone had this?

Thank you Cibit

Hi all, I have currently DCS 1.2.16.43180 I am downloading DCS 2.0 OpenAlpha. To save space on my hard drive, can I uninstall 1.2.16.43180? When DCS 2.0 goes beta, the OpenAlpha will update right? Or is it the 1.2.16.43180 that will update to 2.0 beta? Thanks for your advice.

Many thanks for your hard work and for the heads up in this forum!
