Mi-8 tail rotor blade angle reversed
Sid6dot7 replied to Airmage's topic in DCS: Mi-8MTV2 Magnificent Eight
Erm the green arrow is the clean airflow hitting the blade and get's redirected away from the tail boom due to blade interaction. Never said you were right nor wrong. -

Yes, the blade moves down, so the airflow vector points upwards. -

Does that help? Maybe the tail rotor animations aren't implemented yet, as they don't seem to change for left/right rudder.

The tail rotors upper part turns towards you (clockwise spin, when looking from the left), so it pushes in direction of the tail boom. -
Zumindest in Nevada haben sie Licht an, wenn es an solchem aus der Umgebung mangelt.

Yes, with highly detailed ladybugs, bumblebees and hornets.

The ground effects "strength" is about the same. GEs occurrence depends on the rotor diameter and its results correspond to the helicopters mass. More mass means higher inertia and in this case, slower/delayed vertical velocity changes. The Mi-8 might have more mass, but thus also have a larger rotor diameter, so the ground effect kicks in earlier (at an higher altitude). The Gazelle is more lightweight => smaller rotor diameter => later/lower ground effect - but slows its descent rate way faster. Exactly.

German Tigers aren't equipped with the gun turret, that is what Fire meant. But regarding the "best attack helo": It's the one that fulfils it's intended and designed role the best, maybe a bit better.

Mal das Bild/Wort-Verhältnis etwas steigern. :smilewink:

Ich werd' die Tage auch mal ein paar Bilder posten, muß die Masse aber erstmal sichten und nacharbeiten. Leider dieses mal nur vom Publikumsfreitag. Eine kleine Auswahl vom Donnerstag der ILA 2014 gibt's hier: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/pb8frw7ps32bfiv/AACOSEYR0YhCRvlyW4OAeZzaa?dl=0 Und wer alles sehen will, kann sich hier erschlagen lassen: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/w192dmeb09617h7/AAA9njZ6zs0-rjxRMtdKndCCa?dl=0 :D

You can find a very concise description in the introduction/background part of this document: Methods of implementing NVIS compatible cockpit lighting.

It didn't because it was a result of soft- and hardware updates, which now prevent the proper dimming levels for the cockpit lightning until the issues are resolved.

Nope it doesn't. It's just for the engine. The Pitot heating (PITOT HTR) switch is located on the overhead console, near where you can set your position and anticollision lights. Maybe you just forgot that one.

Not any (referring to the disconnection of moving parts). The main rotor is still connected to the main gearbox/transmission as it drives the tail rotor and oil/hydraulic pumps in case of an engine failure. Freewheeling units are found between the engine(s) and the transmission system, as well as transmission and tail rotor. Everything else is a design choice and not mandatory.
