R1Lawsy Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 Hey All, there are loads of good books written by Huey pilots, just wondering if anyone knows any similar books by mi8 pilots? Had a quick google but nothing really. Thanks James Sent from my G3125 using Tapatalk
ESAc_matador Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 Good question! Some afghan war Mi8 pilot's tales!
molevitch Posted July 7, 2017 Posted July 7, 2017 I have been looking myself. You search in English, nothing. Search in Russian, LOTS! I searched for MI-8 Pilot stories books, in Russian ( Ми-8 Piulot рассказы книги ). Try this, in Google Chrome Translate. Or Yandex.ru translate. http://vertoletciki.ru/viewtopic.php?id=126&p=3 There are still no good translation engines from Russianm to English apparently. A friend of mine told me the other day that his grandfather used to be a translator for MI5, and he would translate from Russian to English... via Mandarin! Chap spoke 26 languages apparently! M SCAN Intel Core i9 10850K "Comet Lake", 32GB DDR4, 10GB NVIDIA RTX 3080, HP Reverb G2. Custom Mi-24 pit with magnetic braked cyclic and collective. See it here: Molevitch Mi-24 Pit.

Rogue Trooper Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 The only book I read so far is Gunship ace, The wars of Neall Ellis. This guy seemed to use Russian kit through his entire mercenary helicopter life. As a single pilot he took off and engaged insurgents in a hind, flew some old dog MI-8s and just generally got the job done with minimal fuss right up to Afganistan. not a true first person right up but not bad. HP G2 Reverb (Needs upgrading), Windows 10 VR settings: IPD is 64.5mm, High image quality, G2 reset to 60Hz refresh rate. set to OpenXR, but Open XR tool kit disabled. DCS: Pixel Density 1.0, Forced IPD at 55 (perceived world size), DLSS setting is quality at 1.0. VR Driver system: I9-9900KS 5Ghz CPU. XI Hero motherboard and RTX 3090 graphics card, 64 gigs Ram, No OC... Everything needs upgrading in this system!. Vaicom user and what a superb freebie it is! Virpil Mongoose T50M3 base & Mongoose CM2 Grip (not set for dead stick), Virpil TCS collective with counterbalance kit (woof woof). Virpil Apache Grip (OMG). MFG pedals with damper upgrade. Total controls Apache MPDs set to virtual Reality height. Simshaker Jet Pro vibration seat.. Uses data from DCS not sound... goodbye VRS.
