ARM505 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Great to see this - this is one of the helo's that I've actually flown in, and seen in operations quite a bit (Sierra Leone, UN). They of course have to get that distinctive 'swish swish swish' high pitched whistling kind of noise right too (I think if you've been near them you'll know what I'm talking about), otherwise it won't be dead on! They got the Huey sounds bang on if you ask me, so that's good. I was quite close up to a Huey this weekend, nice to see it again, now to organise a ride..... Great news for the helo sim world in any case! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundowner.pl Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 MAK have no accident report on that helicopter, but here's the full video: http://www.avsimrus.com/f/accidents-88/mil-8t-amur-ra-24438-full-32179.html?action=viewonline It looks like they run out of right pedal with heavy machine at high altitude, when they eventually rotated downwind all bets were off.

Celo63 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 You know that's CGI right? Yeah, but I can't figure out why everyone is so keen to point that out. It still looks cool and is the kind of trick a lot of DCS pilots will be trying pretty much on day one of the Mi-8 release. Just trying to inspire and entertain is all :D. Sorry I didn't include a big disclaimer saying "Beware!! Fake Video!!" Not a single comment on whether anyone enjoyed the documentary links I posted mind you, but heaps of "Fake!!" comments for the first clip.

zaelu Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 For me simply "Must have". I was waiting for this bird and for Cobra and Hind. Need a trip to Everest on Mi-8... (ups sorry, not yet map ; , wait for EDGE... ;) But for Belsimtek - very good choice! Hope, in this year! You can fly in Outerra to Himalaya :D . But +8000m is a lot for the Apache there.

159th_Falcon Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 That's the swashplate drive link (called "scissors" on some helicopters). About that, whenever i look at the external model of the MI-8 ingame i don't see the rotating scissor. (the one that should go from the rotating swashplate to the rotor hub) Only Pitch Links appear. Didn't check the stationary scissor as i don't know where it should be located.

Neither AH-64 nor Mi-8 can get up to 8000m. Unless you drop them out the back of an An-124/C-17 from 10,000m. About that, whenever i look at the external model of the MI-8 ingame i don't see the rotating scissor. (the one that should go from the rotating swashplate to the rotor hub) Only Pitch Links appear. There is no scissor assembly on the non-rotating side...I'd have to look at the in-game model again to see how it looks, I haven't looked at it in a long time.

159th_Falcon Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 Ok Roger, so i guess they use a similar construction as the AW139 then regarding the non-rotational swashplate? ie, flat faces on the inner diameter that the swashplate can slide over vertically?

Weta43 Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 You need enough hight to build up some rotor speed for the autorotation ;) Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watari Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I dont know if that would simple to learn the autorotation from a drop off from 10.000m down to sealvl. :lol: :matrix: =SPEED IS LIFE=:matrix: http://www.planeandpilotmag.com/speed-is-life.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eurofor Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 You need enough hight to build up some rotor speed for the autorotation ;) The air is not dense enough and 10000m is not enough considering you would also need to mount the rotor blades during the fall because the rotor diameter does not fit inside the cargohold of those aircraft. :smartass: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
