Pitch index on Standby Attitude Indicator jumping from up to down and opposite when turning setting knob accordingly.

Standby attitude indicator (SAI) arrow pointing downwards on bottom side of the inside which should be connected with stabilized part of the instrument is not stabilized i.e.point still at the opposite arrow which shows 0 degree bank. https://ibb.co/g90x5Vw Moreover it is possible to move the Pitch indexer from up directly to down position with continuous turning setting knob. Both bugs are shown in Trackfile. ATT Bugs.trk

Altimeter have Kolssman window. You are just so high that it is outside it’s limits. Just set up QNH and not QFE as it is. Radar Alt is known problem. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It is showing all green flares because some just set it up. On every button you can set 4 colours (red,green, yellow, white).

Wiper finction IRL It does not disappear in real. Droplets get smeared so much you wish you never used that wiper. Increasing speed helps much more. About 150-200km/h is enough to getting droplets blown away. Maybe even 120 is enough. Another thing is that droplets acts as they are affected on fixed wing plane not RW. Instead reacting to rotor wash they react mainly to movement of helicopter and wind.

Finally I tested it yesterday IRL and it was same as in DCS. It was small but noticable descend in left spot turn and climb in right spot turn. Quicker turn was not possible due RL limitations.

This is information from RL Mi-171Sh (Mi-8MTV1). As far as I know it is not documented anywhere. Our FEs assumes it is because the right engine have an automatic de-icing so there is higher probability of flameout due icing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What details are u interested in? You have there 3 switches. 3 position engine selector, 3 pos mode selector (start, middle pos and engine crancing- without ignition) and 3 pos ignition test- You asked about engine selector. If you forget it in middle position you have selected right engine by default. Similar should be with starting mode switch if you leave it in middle position, you should be able to initiate starter sequence anyway. It is designed this way due emergency situations when both engines quit (mainly due icing) when you do not have much time for restarting and you forget to set up correct positions for this 2 switches to have default setup for immediate startup.

I can confirm this is correct behavior of engine starter panel. If the engine selector switch is in middle position and you press start button the right engine initiate startup procedure. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Did you turn on pitot tube heating?

It is enough power demand difference to affect your climb or descend. In real word heli definitely noticeable.

I know it is fixed connection. But when I apply left pedal tail rotor decreases pitch-> decrease its power demand and this should increase RPM of both rotors due decreased overall power demand. I am trying to find the reason why it works this way. I hope I will definitely try it next week on real heli. Funny

Found an answer. It is caused by power governor. When I apply left pedal power demand reduces, RPM increases, power governor decreases power, so it results in less power on both rotors and results in descend. https://www.rotorandwing.com/2011/11/29/height-variations-in-rightleft-spot-turns-with-rotors-turning-clockwise/

Opposite climb/descend reaction when using pedals On Mi-8 tail rotor takes up to 30% of power. In real heli it is definitely noticeable in spot turns. Where you need change the power setting slightly to hold altitude. Another thing is that pilots of Mi-8 use left pedal climb when they are close to power limits or on limits to increase power on main rotor. There can be also problem you do not have enoug right pedal. This is also pretty common problem on these helicopters. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

And Why? Because from my point of view pushing right pedal causes the tail rotor to increase thrust-> more power needed. This means that when I apply right pedal with same collective setting i will take some power from main rotor to tail rotor so I should start descending.

I did some hovering practice with spot turns and I noticed strange behaviour of Mi-8 when applying rudder pedals. When I applied left pedal I noticed heli with left turn start to descend instead of climbing (due to decreased power required required by tail rotor). For the right pedal it starts climbing with right turning.

Sinking through floor, CTD in RW Same problem with F-14/18 in MP sinking through the runway aproximately every other landing. In Mi-8 it results in CTD without any warning and log.

Guys I need to apologize to you all. System is modelled correctly. Bug was found in my understanding of how this indication works.

As far as I know not. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You should report this bug privately...

Taking a photo is near to impossible but I will try to not forget and check it. Although it can be very long time until next NVG flight.

Have amber and yellow caution lights in cockpit. Will check it when I fly NVG next time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Its not a bug. Its the feature. This is how the NVG googles works. Although never tried NVG googles in incompatible cockpit Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
