  1. So, the large number next to the fraction is compas heading to be flown between waypoints. Top number in fraction is distance (in KM in this case), and the bottom number shows time required (in minutes) to fly that leg. Note however that the distance is measured, while the time and compass heading is calculated according to wind conditions and compass errors. That's the way VFR maps are drawn, whether in military or civil aviation.
  2. Haven't flown in a Mi-8 for a while, so most of this is from memory. :D Engine generators generate 3-phase 204V AC, that is also: -transformed to 115V AC single phase (in case of both eng gen failure, the PO-500A inverter is used to power essential equipment) -transformed to 36V AC 3-phase (in case of both eng gen failure, the PT-200Ts inverter is used to power essential equipment) -transformed to 36V AC single phase (controlled by instrument inverter switch) -rectified to 27V DC Stand by generator (from APU) generates 27V DC that can be connected only to the battery bus. By using equipment test switch, you're connecting the APU to the rectifier bus, and this is used for equipment testing (:)), but can be also used in flight for emergency situations to power flight essential equipment AFAIR, the pitch and bank channel of the autopilot system is using attitude data from the co-pilot's attitude indicator, which isn't connected to the essential bus and that's why it could not be turned on. If you had requested external power, you would be able to. Yes, the eight has a slightly complex electrical system :joystick: AlphaOneSix, feel free to correct any misinformation. :D
  3. It is explained on the page 46 of the posted pdf: "The left engine and DPD anti-ice will not activate automatically. It should be turned on manually approximately 1 minute after the right engine anti-ice activates, and only if the right engine continues to operate normally (i.e. has not lost power due to ice ingestion)."
  4. Check that on the interphone control panel you've selected RADIO, not SPU. Page 111 in manual, switch labeled with 5. By default in missions it's set to SPU.
  5. I have no problems autorotating with engines still on; just watch out for the main rotor RPM and there should be no raise in engine RPM. Another important thing is that you start pulling the cyclic back at a height of about 15 m and also note that the Mi-8 can't autorotate to a standstill, it needs to have a roll out. Maybe this vid can help you: [ame] [/ame] There's also a video of autorotation without tail rotor on this channel.
  6. As uboats said, it's used for launching weapons (rockets, guns or grenade launchers - depending on other selectors). But before using it, you should open the RS switch cover (not binded by default).
  7. Simply, it is caused by the total sum of velocities on the rotor disc (relative velocity of air because of helicopter rotation + velocity of air because of rotor rotation). Go into a hover and then rotate the helicopter only by using pedals. You'll notice that when you turn left, your altitude will decrease and when turning right, increase. The same thing happens when you're turning in horizontal flight. To sum up: in left turn -> rotor speed - helicopter turning speed = reduced absolute blade speed (decreased lift) in right turn -> rotor speed + helicopter turning speed = increased absolute blade speed (increased lift)
  8. To translate to those that don't know russian terminology or have trouble understanding: Main rotor and tail rotor animations will also be added. Great news! :thumbup:
  9. +1 Been like that ever since 1.5 update I am using GTX750 Ti with latest drivers.
