Stand up and be counted all ye Mi-8 operators

[Scooternutz]

Got it, love it, want to leave work right now to fly it!

My virus scanner (Avast) just encountered a suspected file. Something with DCSupdater.exe. After 1.3Gb I lost everything... :(

 

Details:

 

process: C:\Users\Erik\AppData\Local\Temp\DCS\update\DCS_updater.exe

infection: Win32:Evo-gen [susp]

 

 

Use Microsoft security essentials...less problems.

[tusler]

WOW

 

Once I got my FPS straightened out this thing is Great to fly, it has the requisite feel of having a lot more mass than the Huey.

very cool indeed.

I wonder if this bird has collective coupling like the US machines use...when you lift the collective tail rotor authority is automatically increase to compensate for the increased torque :book:

 

Yea...back to flying, later y'all :beer:

[rrohde]

Love the Mi-8. Great release. :) Got it today.

[Isegrim]

I Love this Helicopter. A good add to DCS :thumbup:

:huh: This can not be! Mi-8MTV2 has no such system

[VTB_Ray]

Have only logged an hr or two so far, it's awesome! Very enjoyable to fly. Much different feel than the Huey.

Hmm, I would say "less malware identified" :music_whistling:

Did they ever manage to get in the top 10 ranks of Antivirus tests?

 

I know they usually had the last or second last rank when they introduced it, may be that has changed? :tomato:

[Rongor]

Just did my first traffic circles... It's a masterpiece!

[jimcarrel]

I already had the KA-50, then the Huey, so I was going to skip the Mi-8, then I was going to wait, then I bought... that's life I guess.

[Toadster]

Got the Hip the other day - love flying this beast!

Just installed and activated it tonight. I've been enjoying the Huey (although it's extraordinarily difficult for me to fly compared to other DCS aircraft for various reasons), but I needed to go back to my first love, something with a baffling wall of Cyrillic-labeled switches and knobs.

 

It's pretty stellar, even in beta form. And having some experience with the Ka-50 and now UH-1H, it seems comparatively easy to fly, and is good and sturdy.

 

Although I'm familiar with and fond of the Hip, I wasn't initially interested in flying what I had thought of as a good but somewhat dull aircraft in detailed sim form, but I couldn't be happier with my purchase. It's definitely not dull.

Hello.

[Flagrum]

Hello.

Hi!

[Spasticatedtoad]

I bought the Hip just a couple of hours after it was released and ( like every other DCS Module I own ) I fell in love with it within minutes. I have the Ka-50 and the UH-1H and I am finding the Hip to be somewhere inbetween those 2 as far as handling goes.

Only problem I have now, is deciding which Heli/Plane I'm going to fly. When they are all as great as they are, it makes the choice real difficult. :D

Love your work Belsimtek. Keep it up and you have a customer for life. ;)

[Darkwolf]

+1 Proud Belsimtel customer here

[Rongor]

since the first hour after release

[lorenzoj]

I swore I was going to wait...... and I did...... almost a whole day. :)

 

No Regrets ! :joystick:

[EagleEye]

It´s no game changer for me at the moment, so waiting for a sale...

[VTJS17_Fire]

regards,

Fire

[EagleEye]

Ready for duty now!

[VanjaB]

Got in on the sale, yay! (Sorry early adopters) Spent about 20-30 minutes with the bird yesterday evening (yay for CET) just setting up my HOTAS and messing around for a bit and another 15 today. Already a joy to fly, although getting the cold start sequence is going to be nasty...

[Lizzard]

Yay...got it with the Sale..just now..along with the P-51..NICE:thumbup:

[jaroslas]

Ready for heavy duty, Sir! :joystick:

 

Thank you very much ED & Belsimtek. :thumbup:
