DCS-BIOS ?

Last report from ED : A lot of news regarding the A-10C II but they announced that it will then be the turn of the Hind

Still some work but the inside part of it is nearly finished... Movie will follow in the next coming days.;)

Very intersting stuff for our future beast...even if it's not the common tactic used by the Mi-24

Yes but it's not allowed to all or common visitors. I took contact before my visit with the "War Heritage Institute" and I explained my project in detail. It was only afterwards that I had an appointment and that I was allowed to jump in the Mi-24 cockpit.

I visited 4 times the ex DDR Mi-24D exposed in the Royal Museum of the Armed Forces and Military History in Brussels. So, I was able (and lucky too) to take a lot of pictures and measurements of the cockpit...:)

Still some work to do but the first part of it is nearly finished. Second part : the external part of the simpit with the door (release in Dec 20....or maybe two two weeks later héhéhé) I will post additionnal pictures when the interior part is finished. During the last weeks, I worked on the weapon, left side and front panel... To be continued

Yes, it was expected because only two months left before end of 2020. The A-10C II has been in the limelight in the last few weeks and the mosquito is announced before the end of the year . I think the management of the multicrew is taking more time than they thought... Early 2021 is still ok for me, that gives me time to finish my simpit !!! Héhéhé

Same for me, I really don't like the new Forum ! It really doesn't make you want to consult it! Probably a better option for smartphone users but a real step backwards for those who consult the site from a PC... I'm really very disappointed by the final result!

My collective lever is ready ! ;)

I just dropped the different files in the DCs folder. I don't use OvGME. I will try to install the Mod again.. Reinstalled and all is now working fine...I missed something last time... Once again I big "Bravo" for your work, I am a big fan !:thumbup:

Thx for all your replies. I will check the different links and I hoping to find the solution... If someone is already using such a lua, thx to contact me in PM. Chris

Hello, I am currently building my Mi-24P simpit. I have already a real Mi-8 collective lever connected with a Leo Bodnar BU0836A board. All if working perfecly fine in DCS. I just added a 2 positions switch to this card in order to connect my simpit gear lever. In DCS, with this card, a 2 positions switch is just recognized as one position. So It seems that I have to edit a Lua file if I want that DCS recognize the switch with the 2 position I never wrote a Lua file and I even don't know where to place it in the DCS tree. So any help is more than welcome ! Thxxx a lot, Chris

Mmmmm I have installed the last update of the beta version (DCS 2.5.6.55847 Open Beta ), afterwards installed your better smoke V5 and it seems to me that the smoke effect is not working properly...:(

Things are moving forward but still a lot of work ;)

Not a PKT, not an NSVT but the best machinegun ever built : the FN MAG ! :thumbup:

Thxxxx a lot !!!:thumbup::thumbup: Now, my real Mi-8 collective lever is working perfetly

ANy update because I have the same issue. Now the Mi-8 corrector has 2 command : Correction lever Increase and correction lever Decrease. I can't assign the axis of my throttle to these commands...Is it a solution ? Solution here, thxxx to K-51 ! https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=4505162&postcount=157

Just a small question regarding the throttle. Which command in the DCS settings menu is acting on the Mi-8 throttle of the collective ? Thxxxx Chris

Hello, I have a real Mi-8 collective linked to a bodnar card. All is working fine but I can't find how to control the throttle ( Correction lever Increase and correction lever Decrease) on the collective via the real collective lever. What is the command in the setting menu of DCS to control the Mi-8 throttle ? It should normally be an axis... Thx for your help Chris

I've always been much more attracted by helicopters than airplanes. I got also my helicopter private license during the past. For me the Hind is simply the most beautiful and powerful machine ever built. It's like the F-4 Phantom that have many fans. It is clear that in terms of cockpit construction, those dedicated to helicopters are really in the minority. If you take away the cockpits of the F-16, F-18 and A-10 there is not much left. I previously constructed a Ka-50 cockpit, someone bought it from me and will transform it to a F-18 simpit! :) As far as I know there is only Robin and I that are currently building a Mi-24 Hind cockpit... Fell free to join the club ! :D

Construction is progressing step by step. During the last few weeks there has been a lot of work. The rear and right front panels are now finished. The left panel and the centre console are now under construction I managed to buy almost all the front panel instruments... Pictures will follow soon...

Interview of Katia Peredenko (ED COO) Appache: one day. It's a long way to achieve. Both ED and the community want it. Right now ED is focused on MI 24 and F18. :D
