@BST: When can we expect the Mi-8 manual to be available?

When can we expect the Mi-8 manual to be available?

Even if it is not the final version - but it would help immensely to get to know the Hip better .....

(Please no replies here like "Soon" or "When it's ready". I get a moderator to delete it as spam - I am dead serious.)

Would be nice to have a copy of the WIP manual. A lot of the Mi-8 functions are still not implemented, so I guess the problem would be that the manual details a lot of things that aren't working yet. This would lead to a load of confusion on behalf of the players. I can kind of see why they haven't released it yet. I can imagine seeing the forum having a load of posts about why things aren't working.

Thanks PilotMi8, I can't wait :).

RU - already available

EN - WIP (75..80%). However this task is implementing several translators and will eventually require single specialist all gather and formatting. Maybe 2..4 weeks

Sounds awesome!

Thanks for the heads-up - much appreciated!

Happy to hear it's on the way!

For now, the product description actually has more info than you might think. Check it out.

Download link for the Russian version please.

Thanks for the heads up! Yah, time to get serious with this big ol' gurl when the manual arrives :thumbup:

Download link for the Russian version please.

It's already automatically installed in your DCS Docs folder.

I have a Russian Mi-17 manual, but nothing for the Mi-8 published by ED.

Thanks again, PilotMi8. I really appreciate you're taking the time to keep us informed :).

interesting the "incendiary and mining disperser" featured "to implemented". The manual not say nothing for the moment of Sling loads or transport capability features.

Some "interesting" data extracted (by google translation) yellow remarks :) (sorry by the errors)

- The appearance of smoke, flame, or the smell of gas (not implemented);

- EXAMPLE e and h e. When switching to a backup system autopilot AP-34B system and clutch lever step rasstoporivaniya gas disabled. In this case, the creation of optimal effort required to move the lever gas, you should pick up some puff clutch lever to move gas (not implemented in the game)

"The appearance of smoke, flame, or the smell of gas"

How you gonna implement that one? Actually, if it is to simulate the aftermath of the crew mechanic's beer and chili the night before, please leave it out :D

abandon ship :D

I am impressed this thread actually got a response from a ED team member!

Thanks PilotMi8.

Большое спасибо.

антонио.

PilotMi8;

1) Should we expect an update on flight model of Mi-8 in next update?

2) Is there any work on FPS management? I mean I personally having FPS issues when just sit in Mi-8 cockpit (rather than other cockpits, such as Ka-50, A-10C or Huey).

Thank you.

Thanks for assembling that list.

It's quite a long list of missing features, but you could probably simplify it to :

- Nose machine gun and associated systems.

- Mine laying capabilities and systems.

 

- 5.3.17. Automatic check-flight parameters SARPP 12D1M (not implemented)

- Radios, recording P-503B (not modeled)

- 6.29. Earth Resonance (not yet modeled)

- To facilitate the pilot determine the moment "undermining" the side rotor technique starting from a height of 50m to produce the current value radio altimeter altitude reporting SPM: "Fifty, forty, thirty, twenty '(not implemented);

- EXAMPLE e and h e. When switching to a backup system autopilot AP-34B system and clutch lever step rasstoporivaniya gas disabled. In this case, the creation of optimal effort required to move the lever gas, you should pick up some puff clutch lever to move gas (not implemented in the game)

- (PCF is currently not modeled).

- 8.11. Fotokontrolny device for monitoring the application of the C-13 weapon (not modeled) (decision on implementation is still pending).

- 3. When bombing from PMA used detonators with delay time of actuating safety crew from hitting their fragments (to be modeled later).

In reference to the Minelaying systems I've noticed that the KMGU-2 system, already present in the Ka-50 and Su-25 arsenals, is set to a laying speed way too fast, maybe compatible with the speed envelope of the Su-25 but completely wrong (IMHO) with the speed range of the helicopters, even with a particularly fast copter like the Ka-50.

From the BS2 Flight Manual

The KMGU-2 electrical system ensures a regular time interval of 0.005, 0.2, 1.0 or 1.5 seconds between each cartridge release.

By setting the release interval to 1.0s or 1.5s the weapon system become, in the helicopter usage, a lot more efficient.

The first conseguence is obviously an Integrity Check problem.

Thanks alot!

Any news on this? Can we hope for a download before the end of 1.2.8 Open Beta? :o)
