Next update?

Any news on when we're likely to see the next update for the mi8? I'm eagerly awaiting fixes for the entire crew dying so easily.

Probably no ETA. It seems that 1.2.7 isn't much either, exept the campaign. But i am happy for the campaign :)

The changelog does not mention it, but I hope that some of the multicrew coding will be included in 1.2.7, since as far as i know Belsimtek are dependent on ED to implement code for that inorder to make progress.

Honestly progress tworads release version of both the Huey and the MI-8 is very slow.

I'm waiting some update in Mi-8 comms. At present day it's impossible communicate with WM and flight. A little disappointed .....

" Corrected missions " for Huey ?

Is it what BST described as a " big update at the end of this month ? "

***

I'm not an Mi-8 expert, but honestly I think it's in a very good state for first Beta version, everything is quality... I only see main rotorhead and tail rotor mechanism animation absolutely absent ( cyclic/collective/lead-lag/flap movements and tail rotor blade pitch movements ), while the blades flex is well made already ....

And the fan of course !

But the Huey got much more things to be fixed ...

Correct start up/shutdown procedure

Ergonomic way to sling load ( I've heard it's up to ED ? )

Rotor visual accuracy ( mast orientation, less visual collective blade pitch etc... )

I see significant loss in heli perfs since 1.2.6, I have hard times reaching 110 IAS at sea level, fully loaded with rockets and only 3/4 fuel... I'm not in High mountains with low DA... EB-1 told they re-rigged the mechanical correlation between collective stick movements and actual swashplate pitch change to give the feeling of less power... this should have been toned down too much, what thinks real UH-1 pilots ?

And what about IA door guners ?

Miniguns for door gunners ?

:huh:

I'm sur EB-1 said something on it speaking about the "next update"...

Yes I forgot those, of course, and they are probably the most important ones !

A lot of work still ahead ... But I'm sure they are working on it, we even saw some miniguns now for door gunners , so the update they mean is surely not 1.2.7 or at least that initial change log

Im happy the Mi is getting a campaign, but even more than that Im extremely happy the Huey is getting a campaign fix overhaul. Im going to give it another go (I gave up because of the bugs).

ADF and radios, bombsight, internally viewed crew mates. Apparently the climate control (fan) is not being implemented:) This aint a rant just pointing out what I think still needs to be implemented;)

Changelog itself is WIP, more items to be added.

Hello,

I think like you and I wait these fix with a lot of impatient, of course I know that these two modules are "Open Beta"...

Bye, Skull.

Yeah but they are more EOB ! Expensive Open Betas ...

I don't think the Hawk is 50$ isn't it ?

Cheers

I must add, regarding the Mi-8 beta campaign that will come in 1.2.7 : if the re-arming/refueling system do not work correctly, it will create a lot of frustration as some missions really require at least re-arming;, and if it works 3 times on 10 ...

I've never had any trouble rearming my Mi8. I've done it quite a lot, too. Is there a bug with this? I know refueling doesnt work. But I've never run out.
