Mi-8MTV2 News

The mirrors actually work?

Press "m" and the mirrors should turn on for you. :)

It's so wonderful to see the gun sight not there anymore!

Thank you AlexanderT for introducing yourself and the pics. What about putting a GoPro in your cockpit? Or do you allready have a youtube or rutube channel?:)

The most important! I am the real pilot. My raid on mi-8 makes 4000 hours.:)

That's cheating! :megalol::thumbup:

Yes please i want to also know how you take off that much smoothly

Actually, seems like the flight model changed in the most recent patch.

Transition into translational lift (forward flight) from hover is very smooth now. Transition back into hover still has the shudder/chop normally associated with it.

I was kind of surprised flying it last night to look down and realize I was now going 70km/h without any bumps or shakes.

Well, I would love to hear how you like the flightmodel of the Belsimtek Mi-8, AlexandrT? What do you think? :)

Great modeling of flight. In case it would be done on a "game level", I wouldn't take part in a project. But since FM is made at a very high level of details for a RL pilot it becomes extremely easy to apply his RL knowledge for control of DCS Mi-8MTV2.

Thanks AlexandrT! It's reassuring to hear that Belsimtek went to such great extent to get everything just right - even under the professional scrutiny as pilots as yourself! :thumbup:

These are real pilots from Belsimtek.!

Thanks for the info, Alex! That's impressive!

I am wondering what other real pilots are lurking on the Russian side of the forum, and what modules they are supporting. :)

That is quite some expertise! :thumbup:

OT - my AV program (Malwarebytes Professional) is showing and blocking a malicious link on this page.

It's "savepic.su"

Thx buddy

Well that is very interesting.

So Belsimtek hijacked all pilots :p

Does Belsimtek hire sim-lovers to raise as a pilot? :D

Please take me and make a pilot! :D

{Just dreaming..}

at least as a door gunnder or a sling load operator :D

at least as a door gunnder or a sling load operator :D

I would be very happy even as a ground maintenance mechanic :)

Well I would be happy if they let me just hang on one of the mi-8 tire :)

Well I'm an Mi-8 mechanic, door gunner, AND sling load operator. That's all the same job! Well, maybe not in some places. I'm also the load master, flight engineer, hoist operator, and (sometimes) fast rope master. Oh, I also do paradrops out the back, but I have not done that in a while, sadly.

So thats what a dream job looks like....:pilotfly:

In the video (that with the shaking dash) you can hear the Trimmer sound. Will we have the click sound again? In RL the MI-8 seems also making this sound.

Will you guys create a view inside the troop compartment section along with the Huey.The only views we get inside of the helos is the cockpit and the outside of it.

You're right, there's no transition period from hover to flight now. Must've been dropped accidentally, so we'll probably get it back soonish. The joys of beta, eh ;)

PS / EDIT: The Huey still has it, just checked.

The «ЗАПРАВКА-КОНТРОЛЬ» (tanking-control) switch is activated.

Fuel meter СКЭС-2027 includes four yellow annunciators «Бак полон» (tank full) (on a fuselage near filler wells of pylon and additional tanks) which light up when corresponding tanks are full.

During fueling «ЗАПРАВКА-КОНТРОЛЬ» (tanking-control) switch in a crew cockpit has to be in "ЗАПРАВКА" (tanking) position. Yellow annunciators «Бак полон» (tank full) will light upon completion filling of tanks.

"КОНТРОЛЬ" (control) position is for «Бак полон» (tank full) annunciators check. Switch should be turned in "КОНТРОЛЬ" (control) position for and annunciators on a fuselage should be checked.

Seriously... with such level o detail going into the helicopter, you have no excuse to exclude a ladder for the lateral door :D

I have a crazy friend that dreams to enter the helicopter just like in a real one some day... maybe with Oculus like hardware. And obviously he needs a ladder.

Thanks for the additional feature!

:thumbup: Yaaaah, getting more and more comprehensive by the DAY. So when are you going to release these then, with v2.0 or what?
