Stuntie Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 Just got the Mi-8 and tried to go for a spin. (Quick mission - on easy). But I couldn't even get off the ground. I kept blowing up just trying to get into the hover. Didn't even last two mins. I knew I was a newb on the Mi-8, but come on - I aint that bad. Was checking controls and trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. Then I noticed the post mission summary. There was a flight of A-10 right over the airfield firing mavericks at me. I was under immediate attack on a quick mission on easy....:cry: Cheers Stuntie [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

The_Pharoah Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 My main issue is the inability to read cyrillic. I can't figure out how to use the weapon systems even after a few tries at the training mission. I'm not russian and can't read cyrillic...surely there's a 'workaround' to put some english writing in the cockpit. Put it this way....if I were a pilot flying the Mi8 as a gunship and I only speak english....I would tape english words to the panels to avoid confusion. Is this possible through say a mod or something? AMD AM4 Ryzen7 3700X 3.6ghz/MSI AM4 ATX MAG X570 Tomahawk DDR4/32GB DDR4 G.Skill 3600mhz/1TB 970 Evo SSD/ASUS RTX2070 8gb Super

You need to either select no enemy air assets or manually edit the generated mission and delete troublesome units.

Stuntie Posted January 9, 2014 Author Posted January 9, 2014 If you used the quick mission generator it has a tendency to create stupid missions like putting some AI fighters or ground attack planes in the air that come and kill you within a few minutes. You need to either select no enemy air assets or manually edit the generated mission and delete troublesome units. It sure does. I'd hoped for an easy fast mission where I could wobble off the airport and go try to find a ground unit to beat up on. So that I didn't need to spend a load of time settting a mission up as time was limited. I wasn't expecting a bunch of aircraft right above me straight away that could outpace me and kill me from distance. This was on 'easy difficulty'. I'd hate to think what I would have faced if I picked a 'hard' quick mission... Cheers Stuntie [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
