Do you think, where's the tail rotor ? :music_whistling:

[AlphaOneSix]

Mi-8T and earlier had the tail rotor on the right side and it spins the other direction (down with rotor wash, clockwise from right side) whereas Mi-8MT (Mi-17) and newer have tail rotor on the left side (spins up into rotor wash, clockwise from left side).

 

Mi-8T and earlier also have no APU and the weaker TV2-117 engines.

[Pirke77]

yes this is mi8t with TV2-117A engines and tail rotor on right side in flight direction :)

How ¡s the status of this model? will it be included in a patch?

[Bucic]

Current Mi-8 3D model is one of the most repulsing details in DCS BS and the worst thing is it's a workhorse so you see it all the time. I thank anyone who picked up the task of creating a new model.

Any Updates on this model.

I want it in game so bad I was thinking of building one myself but this project seems so far advanced, it has got to be released soon, right?

[Bucic]

Yeah, I know what you mean. I've seen Mi-8 again today. What a trauma :P

[jib]

I'm going to ask TOMCATZ if I can upload this model from LockOn4Ever5.0 mod, so we can use it while we are waiting for the really high detailed one,

 

 

Anything has got to be an improvement on the current model.

[Bucic]

Please post the info here ASAP.

Well I PMded TOMCAZ but he hasn't replied.

but I the read-me it says ""...Otherwise unzip that package manually and use single parts of these mod. Everone is allowed to modify textures and all including modifications." So I guess it will be ok to post it:

Download TOMCATZ Mi-8MT Transport Helicopter: http://cid-b379ad3e017f62a1.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/Better%20Mi-8TM%20Helicoptor%20model.rar

 

Its my first time making a modman file so I hope it works OK.

 

It doesn't replace any file just puts 2 textures in temptextures and a .LOM I the bazer/shapes folder and as the current M1-8MT model is in the old .cmd format the Sim uses the new .LOM file instead.
