Flagrum Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 Fans finally functioning! Thanks BST! So, I was under the impression that this was one of the last "tiny" additions that we are gifted with as the remaining features (bomb sight, etc.) require some DCS ground work (i.e. MP cockpits)? So, then all that is left is ... News 26: English Cockpit News 27: English Manual (finalized) ... riiight?

Flagrum Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 English cockpit is allready available! click it in the "special/Mi-8mtv2" options menu. No. Not with the BST standard installation, i.e. without Devrim's mod.
Tarres Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) Edit: it seems that the installation copies the files under cockpit/english from the beta... So no oficial english cockpit. Edited January 23, 2016 by Tarres

Currently there isn't seem to be much point of paying attention to wind direction :music_whistling: Mi-8's tail rotor is so strong it can damage things, which is why you have a pitch limiting system for it. It's not like the UH-1 where a 10 knot wind will give you trouble if you try and push the tail into the wind. I'm not sure there is anything wrong there, but if you've got some evidence current behavior is wrong, I'd love to hear it. :) Practice makes perfect.

Or perhaps our newer veriant of Mi-8 has a much more powerful tail rotor than the older one (which has it's tail pointed to the right instead) shown in the video?

Yurgon Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 So apparently it is possible to get Mi-8 into LTE. Or perhaps our newer veriant of Mi-8 has a much more powerful tail rotor than the older one (which has it's tail pointed to the right instead) shown in the video? Appariciate for enlightenment That's exactly it! According to a great documentary I watched, early Mi-8 models had problems with LTE, and the engineers realized that the problem was massively reduced as they simply flipped the tail rotor 180 degrees to the left side. Here are the links: Mi-8 The Magnificent Eight (Film 1/2) Mi-8 The Magnificent Eight (Film 2/2) AFAIK the tail rotor was changed with the Mi-8MT, and was placed like this for the export variant known as the Mi-17 right from the beginning (at least that's what it says in the documentary, around the 33 minute mark in part 1). And by the way, LTE is not implemented even in UH-1 is it? I'll be very happy to know I am wrong Never experienced it myself, good question if it's modeled and how to get into it if it is. ;)

That answered exactly my question :D And for the LTE on UH-1, well, before the release of UH-1 module Belsimtek give a very verbal statement saying they will not simulate "complex LTE effect" (http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=1744396) due to them "too complex to simulate", which I was a bit surprised, I though such a aerodynamic condition would be exactly the advantage of DCS' real time calculation. But in such a statement it's not clear whether they are not simulating only more complex types of LTE effects (as there can be three different ways you get into LTE) or they are not simulating any possible LTE effect at all... Yet in another post, Belsimtek gave an also very verbal statement indirectly indicating the effect is included exactly as an advantage of DCS' real time calculation: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=1581092 I am confused :( And in my own tests I could not get UH-1 into LTE either, though I could have missed many things.... Here in another post someone did an apparently more conclusive test for LTE on UH-1 but the result is not very promising: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=1970625 I'm hoping things have changed a little in all these years though...

AlphaOneSix Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 The switching of the Mi-8 tail rotor from the right to the left had a pretty big impact on tail rotor effectiveness. All they did was flip the tail rotor gearbox over. The effect of this was that the fron of the tail rotor now spins up into the downwash of the main rotor, instead of before where the fron edge of the tail rotor was spinning in the same sirection as the main rotor downwash. This is what make it so much more effective than previous versions. As far as I know, this was another of the Mi-14 upgrades that was "ported" back to the Mi-8MT/Mi-17 versions.
Askerov24 Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 LTE is not implemented yet, BST is working on it, so lets be patient. They wrote it in Russian section of our forum. And, BTW, the helicopter on the video is Mi 8T, and someone wrote in comments section that it might be tail rotor gearbox destruction.

Wow thanks for the info, I'm so happy to know they are indeed working on the LTE. Yes, like mentioned in a previous post, our newer Mi-8 is not really affected by LTE, but the lighter UH-1 definitely have missed it.

Askerov24 Posted February 2, 2016 Posted February 2, 2016 :) The thing is, Mi 8MT or Mi 17 modifications and later are affected by LTE, but not that much like Mi 8T or other right sided tail rotor modifications.
