outlawal2 Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Yes it's true, bought Open-Beta is one philosophy and one choice and of course I've make this choice because I've bought all the Open-Beta from Belsimtek, Leatherneck, ED and it's not a problem but I found the evolutions or upgrades just a little bit rare for the Mi-8, no ? The upgrades of the Mig-15 and F-86 are perfect but I have the sensation that these two modules possess more upgrade of the Mi-8, maybe because it's more easy to piloted one airplane than helicopter ? Also maybe than the Airplanes are more popular that helicopter ? I'm sure that the Mi-8 is a very complex machine to simulate maybe more than F-86 and Mig-15 and simulate one dificult and complex machine as Mi-8 ask more patience no ? After that I'm a great fan of the Mig-15, this new module is incredible but one little message from Belsimtek about the future upgrades for the Mi-8 will be cool no ? It's not a bad remark against Belsimtek just one question, bye. Skull PS: I'm sorry for my language English mistakes... Skull...

ED Team PilotMi8 Posted March 28, 2015 ED Team Posted March 28, 2015 I think that it might be useful to put the spotlight on the fact that the Mi-8 has been in open beta for one year. .. Colleagues! After the release of the beta of the MiG-15, we had time to complete our lagging modules. Among them, the Mi-8 and Sabre. Ie Now we have started to do this purposefully!:book:
msalama Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 :thumbup: That's great to hear PilotMi-8! The best news of the year so far! The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.

Skoop Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Actually, I'd rather they push those aside once again and start work at full speed on the AH1W.

Art-J Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 And how many are going to buy this AH-1, when the number of DCS flyers saying "no purchase from BST until they finish their old products" is increasing? Some Cobra or just US helo fanatics will, sure, but that's not how business is done. Reputation of the studio is going down and they better get together and push previous betas forward if they want to keep/increase their customer base. I'm glad to read PilotMi8's note above. Sounds promising. Let's wait and see what comes out of it. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.

Darkwolf Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 It's somehow sad that they wait for a "angry mob" type of thread before they communicate on anything. Actually, I'd rather they push those aside once again and start work at full speed on the AH1W. The time is ripe for a blue side attack helo, can't see how that is not full priority right now. Ah ah ah. Let me put it that way : If you receive half of the AH1 and then they move on something else "because its priority", how would you fell ? :D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] PC simulator news site.

junneh Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Yay! the Mi-8 is going to be finished! But I have a question. is the Bombsight still planned? Bombsight is confirmed not going to be implemented, I forgot where I read this tho.
Flagrum Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Bombsight is confirmed not going to be implemented, I forgot where I read this tho. Well, but certainly not in this subforum. Therefore your speculation is as good as anyones - from my perspective. :o)
Cibit Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Never saw any posts stating the OP1 will not be implemented.

realtrance Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Any News? "Beta" from DCS and its 3rd-party developers is like 4th-gen finished software from everywhere else, in my opinion. I'm generally hesitant to get unreleased software, but have had no issues with what I've found with these companies. The depth in every one is simply amazing. Thanks for all the hard work, from such small and expert teams, and I'm looking forward to more. I admit I'm a comparatively casual player. :) ROG Maximus X, Intel i7-3770 3.5GHz , Nvidia 680Ti, 16GB DDR3 2400MHz, Logitech Extreme 3D Pro
BaD CrC Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 Low level bombing can be performed with Mi-8. But it is limited to the small ones unless you want to blow yourself up. Everything is described in the draft version of the mi-8 manual including how to set up the actual reticle. It is not extremely accurate though and takes quite some training. https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden
