BroX Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 I have only one main wish. Repair sling load weight. Please 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash * Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I also have a wish: don't let this great machine rot. The old BST models do NOT receive any attention. Only the Huey with multicrew, but without the Mi-24 in the neck, that would not have happened either. 2021 should be the year of the helicopter ... hah. It's almost June and NOTHING has happened. If it's the money, I'll be happy to pay for a makeover of the individual models. Nothing for years. Not even reactions here in the forum. I am not disappointed, but now I am very frustrated.

Raven (Elysian Angel) Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Yes it does get annoying. I make regular comments about the state of the Mi-8 on ED's FB as well, and *if* I get a reply, it's just along the lines of "we have nothing to share at this time". 1 1 Spoiler Ryzen 9 5900X | 64GB G.Skill TridentZ 3600 | Gigabyte RX6900XT | ASUS ROG Strix X570-E GAMING | Samsung 990Pro 2TB + 960Pro 1TB NMVe | HP Reverb G2 Pro Flight Trainer Puma | VIRPIL MT-50CM2+3 base / CM2 x2 grip with 200 mm S-curve extension + CM3 throttle + CP2/3 + FSSB R3L + VPC Rotor TCS Plus base with SharKa-50 grip mounted on Monstertech MFC-1 | TPR rudder pedals OpenXR | PD 1.0 | 100% render resolution | DCS "HIGH" preset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadJiitensha Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 Mi24 make me want updated FM for mi8 too. Its so nice to feel that pedals arent just for take-off, landing. Oh and multiplayer, just for remainder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinM9991 Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 (edited) The Mi-8 is a fantastic helicopter, probably the one I'm enjoying the most right now. Having multicrew would be fantastic. Edited August 24, 2021 by ColinM9991 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratherbegliding Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I totally agree. The Mi-8 is seriously underrated, I think it's the best helicopter in DCS. The module is crying out for some love from the developers. I'm hoping the lessons learned in creating the Hind will filter down to the Eight at some point. I too would be happy to pay for an upgrade similar to what happened witht the A-10. Stupid little things like the head position limits when using TrackIR so you can't see the spotlight switch properly in the lower left of the Pilot Commander panel....argh!!! 4 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Intel i5 / 16gb RAM / Nvidia GeForce 1080Ti / Viewsonic 28" monitor / TM Warthog / TM Elite rudder pedals / TrackIR5 First flight sim: Psion 'Flight Simulator' (ZX Spectrum 48k) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't hold my breath. ED is getting money by churning new modules, not fixing old ones. Unless they get pressured in it by angry mob. Sadly, RW just does not have the numbers of people for that to hapen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven (Elysian Angel) Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I seem to remember PilotMi8 saying in a Russian interview a while ago, that they'd love to revisit the Mi-8 after the Mi-24, if they're allocated time/resources. He specifically mentioned crewman AI etc for increased immersion. 3 Spoiler Ryzen 9 5900X | 64GB G.Skill TridentZ 3600 | Gigabyte RX6900XT | ASUS ROG Strix X570-E GAMING | Samsung 990Pro 2TB + 960Pro 1TB NMVe | HP Reverb G2 Pro Flight Trainer Puma | VIRPIL MT-50CM2+3 base / CM2 x2 grip with 200 mm S-curve extension + CM3 throttle + CP2/3 + FSSB R3L + VPC Rotor TCS Plus base with SharKa-50 grip mounted on Monstertech MFC-1 | TPR rudder pedals OpenXR | PD 1.0 | 100% render resolution | DCS "HIGH" preset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would severely increase immersion, and breathe new life into the module I also wouldn't mind having the technician in the middle being able to autonomously operate the engine/APU fire extinguishers, so I can focus on keeping the helo flying properly, since it will have lost the dampeners at that point.

admiki Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Be careful what you wish for. IDK what is thinking behind it, but multicrew will lock you in pilot seat when flying MP in both Huey and Hind. While there isn't anything important in Huey left seat or Hind front, locking you out of right seat in Mi8 will severely limit you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence the wishlist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
