Lucas_From_Hell Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Wouldn't it be wiser for the helicopters be carried on/under the aircraft's wing/fuselage instead? Not sure if the rotor could be running but at least they blades would be mounted.
AlphaOneSix Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 It doesn't really matter, they won't start spinning...at least not in a way that is conducive to flight.

YoYo Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 You can fly in Outerra to Himalaya :D . But +8000m is a lot for the Apache there. I mean, I am not sure it can fly/hover at that alt.

The Magnificent Eight! 1/2 (Full length documentary) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBoxuksyXV0 Mi-8! The Magnificent Eight! 2/2 (Full length documentary) The documentary is awesome. Nice footage as well, including combat. @ Suchacz Nice video as well! You can hear the click-click from the trimmer very well. If you watch to the end you can actually see that it is in fact the trimmer making that sound! Edited May 16, 2013 by TurboHog 'Frett'
Kaktus29 Posted May 16, 2013 Posted May 16, 2013 as far as i know a chopper can fly above 8000 meters.. a russian one broke the record a year ago..but not mi-8, it was mi-38 http://www.arabianaerospace.aero/mi-38-sets-altitude-record-at-world-helicopter-championships.html record altitude choppers can make now stands at 8600 meters!!!

tusler Posted May 17, 2013 Posted May 17, 2013 (edited) The videos about the MI-8 part 1 and 2 were quite good thanks. I hope they give us the version with the uprated engines!

It's Mi-14, although initially based on the Mi-8M it has a LOT of changes (the engines and transmission for example are the same as on the Mi-24, but de-rated).

RagnarDa Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 The screenies look very promising! If its even half as good as the Huey i will be a happy simmer! Maybe this has been answered somewhere, but will it be able to employ ATGMs? How will the guidance mechanics work? DCS AJS37 HACKERMAN There will always be bugs. If everything is a priority nothing is.
empeck Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 A photo I took today at 56th Air Base in my hometown. Can't wait for this helicopter. My most anticipated simulator at the moment. 1
Cowboy10uk Posted May 18, 2013 Posted May 18, 2013 Managed to blag entry into the MI8, at the Weston Helicopter museum today while visiting the flight sim convention, Photos to follow. :) Must say it looks a rather interesting helicopter to fly.

dahui Posted May 23, 2013 Posted May 23, 2013 as far as i know a chopper can fly above 8000 meters.. a russian one broke the record a year ago..but not mi-8, it was mi-38 http://www.arabianaerospace.aero/mi-...pionships.html record altitude choppers can make now stands at 8600 meters!!! the OFFICIAL Record is held by a SA315B Lama on 12'442m... Inofficial with a Ecurueil on over 12'500.... And the Landing is hold by the Ecureuil on the Top of the Everest... but they say that they done it with a Lama also long time ago
ED Team PilotMi8 Posted May 23, 2013 ED Team Posted May 23, 2013 Great video! :thumbup: we make no such modification of Mi-8. In the video version of the Mi-8T, but we have the MTV2, which have very different start engine procedure. In addition, very different engines, power equipment and instruments.
