EvilBivol-1 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 So, thoughts on the flight model as it stands? Tempted, but being a helicopter novice I'm wary of getting something with the FM possessing "new and innovative flying challenges" like the Huey did initially....I think - and so far this seems to be confirmed by those trying the Mi-8 now - you will find the Mi-8 easier to handle, in particular thanks to the stability augmentation system. With the Pitch/Roll autopilot channels engaged, control coupling is much less agressive unless you're putting in large, fast inputs. IMHO what makes these two modules so interesting is the ability to compare and contrast these two fundamentally similar, but still considerably different machines. - EB [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Nothing is easy.

enigma6584 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Got it and so far love it. Still working on my controls yet. Anyone have pictures as to what controls are on the Cyclic Stick and Collective? I can't find pictures in manual yet to help me set proper controls on those inputs.

BaD CrC Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Bought 2 copies. Hope the price won't drop to 19.99$ next week. Can't wait to start flying the Mi-8; Watched the cold start video and a lot of instruments and start up procedure looks familiar to a DCS Black Shark pilot like me. https://www.blacksharkden.com http://discord.gg/blacksharkden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eurofor Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 This thing is amazing. Thank you for your hard work Belsimtek, ED and everyone involved. It's really too cheap though but I hope it's adding up to make it worthwhile for you, because without you we wouldn't have this stunning piece of software. Whatever you will do next I will buy it.

ophiuchus Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Well, I got to say, if it wasn't for Huey, my first flight in Mi-8 would definitely end up in a hole in a runway. And now I can pretty well take off and land without even breaking the gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agentkgb Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Thank you Belsimtek and ED! Really nice piece of work, this beauty was really missing from my hangar :) The FM feels very cool to me for the first look, it's smooth and handy until you're handling it softly.

Mi-8 without DCS World? That would be interesting :) Or separate install from the current stable 1.2.5?

Harrysound Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I might buy this tomorrow. It's getting late and i'm stuck in Cubase with a new song but I just wanted to know , does this have any kinda winch or sling or something to pick stuff up with? I know the huey is meant to have something like that and it's not in yet, i'm guess this ships without it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weta43 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 does this have any kinda winch or sling or something to pick stuff up with? I know the huey is meant to have something like that and it's not in yet, i'm guess this ships without it? You guess well. The technology for both is the same, so one can't have it much before the other. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must update World, which will update the installed modules as well, before you can install the Mi-8. Incompatibilities can occur if you have updated World after install (and there is even the smallest change) before you try to install a new module. When a new module is released it should match the latest update, in which case there should be no problems.
