msalama Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 No ashtrays? Ha! That exactly. No wonder my ciggie droppings are all over the cockpit floor. The hell do I have to _DO_ to get the ground crew off their lazy butts & clean UP fergadssakes??? The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.
Flagrum Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 I don't know about tons, but a finalized english manual and iirc english cockpit comes to mind.

msalama Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 Dunno... there's a couple outstanding English CP mods however. Using the Vasilissa one myself. The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.
Art-J Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 I believe that apart from the bombsight, after last updates everything in cockpit is implemented and clickable now, even if it doesn't make sense (defroster!). So it's even better than non-beta ED modules, which always have a couple of systems not modelled. The bombsight was advertized as "not implemented" from the beginning, so I'm not crazy about it. Door guns and whatnot were always in community wishlist category rather than actual devs plans. Apart from obvious lack of both rotor heads animations, unfinished gunsight removal feature and somewhat drunk performance of AI engineer while adjusting autopilot, I can't think of anything missing in this chopper right now. Ah, the updated and properly translated manual would come in handy, I agree. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.
Flagrum Posted June 17, 2016 Posted June 17, 2016 Was an english cockpit a feature they said would be included with final release? I apologize if I missed this somewhere. We've decided to do an English-labeled cockpit. In the meanwhile, there's a community mod already in progress. Have not tried it myself yet, but would love to hear how you like it: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=113080 No word about when, though. 1
Nealius Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 Wait rotor heads not animated? I'm missing something because they seem to spin just fine to me...
ED Team NineLine Posted June 18, 2016 ED Team Posted June 18, 2016 No word about when, though. Thanks, but I am not sure that is a feature that would hold up beta status, if you know what I mean. But I am glad they addressed it. Forum Rules • My YouTube • My Discord - NineLine#0440• **How to Report a Bug**
ED Team NineLine Posted June 18, 2016 ED Team Posted June 18, 2016 Wait rotor heads not animated? I'm missing something because they seem to spin just fine to me...

sobek Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 The swashplate? I think that's animated, is it not? Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!

Weta43 Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 Dunno mate can't see it from pilots seat;) That's always been my reaction to this particular 'bug'. You can only see it from outside, and only if you zoom in on the rotor-head, and only be sure of the problem if you slow the simulation down enough to see the components moving. Nice to have sorted one day, but a LONG way down the list of "this sim isn't finished until this gets fixed" list... I'd rather have the cords and cables in the cockpit flex with cockpit orientation and movement than have the swashplate animated... (or have the crew sway & lean their heads as the aircraft experiences lateral "G") Cheers.
Blackjackk Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 (edited) I would really like to see door gunners be added with the ability to use either the PKM or AGS-17A. I also am aware that Belsimtek that there will not be a nose gun in the MI 8 but I hope they would reconsider. "Key Features of DCS: Mi-8MTV2 Magnificent Eight include: Unmatched flight physics providing the most realistic and dynamic conventional helicopter experience on the PC Multiple player positions, including pilot, co-pilot, flight engineer, and door gunner Accurate and highly detailed 3D cockpit featuring six-degrees-of-freedom technology compatible with head-tracking devices Interactive cockpit controls that allow you to operate systems using the mouse Accurate modeling of the Mi-8MTV2 instruments, weapons, engines, radios, fuel, electrical, and hydraulic systems Highly detailed Mi-8MTV2 external 3D model, liveries, and weapons Accurate audio environment based on custom Mi-8MTV2 sound samples Immersive, handcrafted campaign with a variety of transport and fire support missions Training with interactive and video lessons Multiplayer coop mode for crew members of the same helicopter under development for a later update Developed in close cooperation with actual Mi-8MTV2 operators" Edited June 21, 2016 by Blackjackk

firmek Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 According to the information I've found the release day of Mi-8 was Sept 2013... (at least according to Steam). It’s almost 3 years later and the module is still in Beta. Don't get me wrong, it's a fantastic module, one of my most favorite but seriously, keeping beta status for almost 3 years?

firmek Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 I would rather say that it would be possible to fully enjoy this (otherwise already great) module if it would be completed and as far as there are no official deadlines for how long the Beta status could be kept 3 years is still a long time.

Art-J Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 There was a time a couple of months ago, when updates for it were coming almost on weekly basis. Not anymore - it's almost like all BST are desperately working lately on F-5E. Oh well, let's see what happens after that release. Mi-8 seems to be indeed very, very close to being finished. Just needs a little push! i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.
simapajik Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 Mil Mi-8 MTV is very good module. I think that is missing in the cockpit windshield wipers moving. Bell UH-1 also has a moving blade. I agree with removable rear door. It would fix the texture of the main rotor during engine shutdown. Rotor optically accelerating and decelerating. What do developers .. :) <White Tiger> [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
BaD CrC Posted June 21, 2016 Posted June 21, 2016 3 years without a manual (yes, i know we got a draft version) is an issue that did affected my enjoyment of this module. I am pretty sure I am missing a lot of features just because I never had he documentation telling me if this is actually working on the DCS version. We have almost all the IRL doc, but i really want to have the official one telling me what every knob is doing in he module or not doing. https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden

I would really like the developer to post a roadmap of planned changes and additions between now and the full release of the module.
msalama Posted June 22, 2016 Posted June 22, 2016 a roadmap of planned changes and additions Not a roadmap per se, but see my sig nevertheless. The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.
