Mi8 Gunsight

[EagleFox]

Is it possible to remove gunsight from Mi8 somehow?

I rearly use it for combat. And its annoying to fly with that obstructin my view.

I have never come across how, the huey when you fly as a slick with no hardpoints takes away the flexisight. Swap seats works though;)

I'm 100% sure that someone from Belsimtek posted which file you have to edit and with what changes to get rid of the gunsight, but i can't find it right now. :cry:

 

Edit: You can remove the gunsight glas:

Correct answer!

It is possible to clean glass so-

 

C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\Mi-8MTV2\Cockpit\Scripts\PKV\device\PKV_param

 

to replace lines

refl_angle_range = math.rad(5.625)

refl_angle = math.rad(43.428)

 

on-

 

refl_angle_range = math.rad(55.625)

refl_angle = math.rad(143.429)

 

to keep and glasses will not be.

Yup thanks it worked well sort of. I was hoping for full gunsight removal but this will do it for now.

I don't mind the Glass, not any different then flying a fixed wings with the HUD in sight, but what i was looking for is a way to turn off the gun sight reticle when not in combat, besides turning off one of the circut switch, is there any on/off switch for the sight? I was not able to find one, even when master arm is off, it stays on?

R Alt + O and R Ctl + O fades the reticle on and off.

Awesome, haven't thought about that one :) Thanks

If you remove the external weapon hardpoints in the mission editor, the Mi-8 will spawn without the gunsight at all.

To turn off the gun-sight as part of a "fence out" procedure, turn off the third fuse from the right on the top row of armament fuses.

Yep that's what i've found before posting here, was hoping for a more convenient way to turn it out without clicking once in a while on the wrong breaker lol

I remembered wrong, it's the SECOND from the right, not the third..

You can also adjust the brightness rheostat to zero.

Ti be honest i didn't remembered which one i used, but visualy remembered in cockpit, i simply shut them all one by one until i found the right one, so many of them, we can easily get confused :)

I have the sight brightness on an axis by adding this line:

 

 

{action = device_commands.Button_1, cockpit_device_id = devices.PKV, name = 'Pilot Sight Brightness'},

 

to the end of default.lua situated in

 

\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\Mi-8MTV2\Input\Mi-8MTV2\joystick

 

you can add also:

 

{action = device_commands.Button_3, cockpit_device_id = devices.PKV, name = 'Pilot Sight Elevation'},

 

for elevation on axis.
