Mi-8MTV2 Whishlist

[xxJohnxx]

Hi,

 

 

and i would really appreciate a review of the 6 dof. because right now i'm unable to lean right when being the pilot which i experience as very disturbing. therefore i can lean forward that far, that the gunsight starts to clip. as well i would like to be able to actually lean more into the blisters (which they are designed for) to have a better view down.

 

Short OT: I posted that bug short after release. You can find the bug report here. Check it out, it contains a fix for the problem too!

 

Best regards,

 

Jonathan

Hello,

 

All your ideas are super but before obtain all these function I think that the best idea will be to have all the switches and lights operational because some switches and light (bullets quantity) are not functional.

 

For me the best for one simulator in first is the cockpit (our desk) and it's always annoying tos have some switches, light, gauges disable or dummy.

 

I know that the Mi-8 is Open Beta but before to have other things the the top is to have one perfect cockpit like the KA-50, no ?

 

Bye, Skull.

 

 

Absolument l'ami :thumbup:

 

We want same things to be added/improved !

We want same things to be added/improved !

 

Yes, if we want the best helicopter simulation we must have one complete and operational cockpit + avionic, it's very important...

 

The good thing with this Open Beta: It's all the persons who have bought this module can give his feedback and ideas, it's better than one finish product where we cannot give our opinion.

With one Open Beta we can added and fix all that we want and of course in the limit of the software and technology....

 

Long life to this new module who just starting his life, open your wings little Mi-8 and fly, it's just the begining of one incredible adventure.

 

Excuse me for my poor English, I hope that you can understand that I've wrote...

 

Bye, Skull.

Agree on the cargo hook, and I'm fairly certain that it's in the works.

 

Hot starts are not really possible, since the pilot does not control the start sequence other than pressing "start". I mean, I suppose they are theoretically possible in some failure modes, but I have been working on them for a number of years and have never experienced one or even heard of one happening. With regard to main gearbox overtorque, the engines don't have enough power output to overtorque the main gearbox, so no worries there.

Hey Hoot ! How are you ? ;-) ( and youre Mi-8 ) ^^

 

Fine, still pluggin at it!

[hootgibson]

Well, don't fix everything, it is Russian, not everything works at all times! Lol

So basically... Its foolproof :thumbup:

I hope they won't forget to put a Start APU keycommand.

And UV-26 keys are messed up.

removing the exhaust heat signature reducer (which is not a standard equipement on the hip) to look like more standard mi-8

removing the exhaust heat signature reducer

 

try different paint schemes - with some of them they will be removed

[Skulleader]

Hello,

 

Concerning the "exhaust heat signature reducer" is it possible remove these device of the "RF Army Standart" repaint ?

 

I've compared the two "description.lua" of the "RF Army Standart" and the "Georgia" for created one new "description.lua" but this time without the "exhaust heat signature reducer" for the "RF Army Standart" but it's not easy to found or understand.

 

Do you think that it's possible to have the "RF Army Standart" without the "exhaust heat signature reducer" ?

 

The goal of my mission it's to have two versions of the "RF Army Standart", one with the "exhaust heat signature reducer" and one version without the "exhaust heat signature reducer"...

 

Is it possible ?

 

A great thanks in advance for your assistance, Skull.

Ah, intresting. I heard about that "feature" in the Kamov K32, which we have here in Switzerland... "Pull the Pitch until the Load starts to lift or until the the RPM goes down " ^^

 

What about High TOT in high Altitudes?

[AlphaOneSix]

The engine governors limit engine temperatures, and limit fuel flow to prevent overtemps. As long as the governors are operating, it's not possible to overtemp the engines.

search for these lines (in the very end):

 

"custom_args =

{

[457] = 0.0, -- EVU on

}"

 

a value of "1.0" would remove the devices

[Avimimus]

There's a spot for a gun that you can see when you open the rear cargo doors, so a rear gunner would be a good idea. But until there's gunner AI it's not really that important.

 

Whoa - so five gun positions (nose, two window positions, side door, and rear door)?

Shit... an old traktor have the best Safetyfeatures for the Turbines and a crappy brandnew AS350 from EuroCRAPcopter have it not. if you overtorque the maschine, and this is happen pretty fast, (SlingLoad Ops, Windy weather)

and land, shut down the helo... you are not able to start up again, until a mechanic comes to inspect it...

Hello,

 

Thanks for this info, I test that ^^

Bye, Skull.

I hope they won't forget to put a Start APU keycommand.

And UV-26 keys are messed up.

 

Try adding this to your keyboard.lua file:

{combos = {{key = ""}, }, down = 3026, cockpit_device_id = 3, value_down = 1, name = "APU start", category = "APU"},

I tried switching numbers for the UV-26 around, but it doesn't fix the problem =/

[Devrim]

I'll try that.

Thank you Seikdel. :)

[Skulleader]

Hello,

 

So, I've removed the exhaust heat signature reducer and I've add with photoshop a black soot, it's not real because we don't have the template of the Mi-8...

 

[Skulleader]

Hello,

 

Hello,

 

Still me and I would like to know if for the future upgrade of the Mi-8, the devs of Belsimtek will be add other repaints ?

 

If it's the case I really really love the "Czech Air Force" repaint and I hope that the Artistes of BST can add this repaint because it's for me the most beautiful repaint for the Mi-8 and Mi-17.

 

Here one photo of the "Czech Air Force" :

 

 

 

And here one awesome video where we can watch many Mi-17 with this repaint:

 

If one dev of BST read these few lines, please can you add this repaint in the future patch or upgrade ?

 

A great great thanks in advance for all, best regards. Skull

[robin_wkh]

There are still many switches are no function in the Mi-8 cockpit, i don't really expect every switches work like the real mi-8(too much work?), but i wish i can have a label to show what the switches refer to while i put a cursor on those no function switches in the cockpit .

 

Because the feeling give me is that the simulator still not 100% simulated(beta right?).I don't know what will mi-8 be added in the future. Like the DCS:KA-50 and DCS:A10C, some of the switches I don't even know the name until now coz those switches didn;t have name and function . btw, mi-8 is great.

Hi Skull, glad to hear, that you like our Hip, she's real beauty, isn't she? :thumbup:

 

Here are some more interesting photos of this modernised Mi-171Š (pronounced as "Sh"):

Hello Suchacz,

 

Hi Skull, glad to hear, that you like our Hip, she's real beauty, isn't she?

 

Yes you have right, I've look for on the web the photos of the Mi-8 or M-17 and for me the best livery and look is the "Czech Air Force", in second position I love the "Russian Air Force" version and in third position the "Afghan Air Force".

 

I don't why but the best livery for the Mi-8 or Mi-17 is the "Czech Air Force"...

 

I would like to thank you for your links these photos are beautiful, I go download these photos for my collection.

 

A great thanks for all and best regards, Skull.
