Your response was not helpful. I would like a serious answer about what variables can be adjusted to control the amount of vibration from transverse flow, similar to what can be adjusted on the UH-1, as is explained in the link I provided above.

Panel shaking? Never noticed it.

 

You aren't flying fast enough. :P

 

If you throw some icing into the mix it can become pretty pronounced down to as low as 200 kph. IIRC.

 

Unfortunately, I have no idea how to find the values in question.

Practice makes perfect.

So no one has any idea? Some people thought this was too much in the Huey and sought to tone it down, so I'm surprised nobody has similar feelings about the Mi-8.

But there is no panel shaking in Mi-8. Do You mean the whole cockpit shake when flying too fast or when making a transition to hover?

 

Since the first doesn't happen unless someone pushes too hard and the second one lasts only a few seconds per flight, I'm more surprised anyone's bothered with it. I know my reply is "not helpful" either, but as You can see, You won't find many guys considering this shake to be an issue.

Call it "panel shake" or "airframe shake", but obviously we are talking about the vibration that is occurring from transverse flow just under etl. :) There was a long discussion about this on the Huey, and it is perhaps understood that the effect was exaggerated to a certain extent to give the pilot better feedback in the absence of other sensations that would occur in real life. In my case, I simply preferred to tone that down just a little bit. And I would like to do the same or similar for the Mi-8. Questions about whether the current level of the vibration effect accurately conveys the sense of vibration that occurs on the real helicopter to a person sitting at a desk, looking at a screen, is actually a very subjective thing. Whether it should be just where it is, or should be more or less, in the eyes of the individual user is probably best kept for a separate discussion. All I'm trying to do is figure out what values can be changed (if any) in the mainpanel_init.lua to be able to configure it to my personal simulation preferences.

Yep, I get it. I'm not qualified to say if it's realistic, but it doesn't matter, I guess people should be able to mod it if they wish. Can't help You with this .lua editing, though.

 

I suppose one of BST devs might help, but they don't seem to be very talkative in English section of the forum :D .
