Time for another Mi-8 event?

[Slazi]

I reckon it's about time for another Mi-8 event!

 

Anyone fancy trying to get one together?

 

I could try and get setup for the event that was canceled last time, or, if anyone has a mission they feel is ready, perhaps they could host / supply it?

 

I can host a dedicated server and TS if required.

 

Any interest?

I am down. I think waiting for multiplayer cockpits would give it that extra punch to make it more memorable though.

[Cibit]

Sure thing. Can we incorporate a troop drop at a clearing en route and use the MI-8 nav systems please:)

[Slazi]

Multiplayer cockpits would be great, however, I still think we have a bit of a wait before they hit. Troop drop and nav would be great, too.

 

It might take a bit of time for me to finish a mission for the event, as I really don't get much time to make stuff recently. If anyone else fancies having a go..

 

The other option is to wait until I can get something done.

 

Basically, I just wanna fly with some other Mi-8 pilots :)

I'd volunteer again to provide Ka-50 escorting :)

 

Becaue I still have not the slightest clue about the Mi-8.

Don't even know the correct start up, yes, it's that bad.

 

Not further commenting on the Mi-8 manual that was not released even partially last week.:music_whistling:

 

So here I am, offering Ka-50 escort, maybe even with a second pilot (and therefore second Ka-50).

I would be game for something like this. I have a VIP pickup mission that I created a few DCS version back, but haven't tested it with the current release.

[Slazi]

Hey Mad. You'd be welcome to tag along if it works with the mission. Our backup navigation system :)

 

Number3 - if the mission is suitable for a few Mi-8s then I'm definitely interested.

[number3]

It's suitable for the Mi-8. It's support and rescue mission.

[Slazi]

I reckon that sounds like a good plan!

[SilentGun]

I'm in!!! when will it be up

[terence44]

I'm in, So !

[Slazi]

Great! Post time availability in UTC.

Oh, and don't worry if your schedules don't match mine. Feel free to go ahead without me. I'm in an odd timezone.

Usually available:

 

Wednesdays:

22:00 - 01:00 UTC

 

Weekends (Saturday and Sunday):

10:00 - 16:00 UTC

 

 

 

 

* Note: If I can't make it, I will send the mission file to whoever is hosting that day. There is still a chance I can make it out even if the date chosen it outside of my usual days of availability.

[Slazi]

Need more times before we can set this up :)

Hi all,

 

I think including an ABRIS navigation system (like in the KA-50) would be great, and I know it exists as I saw a photo of MI-8 cockpit with ABRIS display,like on this picture: http://www.airforce-technology.com/contractors/training/ret_kronshtadt/ret_kronshtadt3.html

Sorry most evenings and most weekends, I need a couple of days notice usually:)

[number3]

There is always the kneeboard map :)

[Slazi]

I'll try to give plenty of notice before the event. Weekends are probably best for most people.

[number3]

We could try this out on a smaller scale and add improvements for a larger event.

[Slazi]

Sounds like the way to go. I've been out of action the last couple of weeks with a cold, but looking forward to flying soon.
