Hello , can anyone tell me what are this black spots on mi8 skins ?I found it on every single skin , thank you .

It is a shadow behind the armour plating that is painted onto the livery. As you have noted, most liveries have them.

Grajo already did it in his "goodies" pack...

As name of report says

if armour plates are not equiped, the MBIENT_OCCLUSION texture is set to wrong texture, which results in not very nice shadows an all liveries in DCS.

{"mi_8_tex1",    AMBIENT_OCCLUSION    ,    "mi_8_tex_1_ao", false};

mi_8_tex_1_ao.dds

Ambient occlusion effect is shown under the window when the Armor is not attached.
