Mi-8MTV2 Whishlist

R-828 Radio. It is currently not functional and not on the planned feature list.

Hello,

R-828 Radio. It is currently not functional and not on the planned feature list.

I don't know if I well understand your question but me too I meet one problem with my radio.

I switch ON my radio and I enter this frequency: 134.00 because my home base he's Kutaisi but it's the great silence...

Do you meet the same problem ?

A great thanks in advance for all, Skull.

Two things:

-Obviously, the fan.

-Changed sound when oppening cockpit blister windows.

GUYS, THE MI-8 IS BROkE, ThE FAN NOt WORKiNG! :lol:

Changed sound when windows open, troop ops and para deployments (when possilble) and...yeah, its pretty much perfect for Beta! :D

R-828 is the VHF FM radio for communication with ground units. Same system as on the Ka-50 that I use for my mod (see sig).

You are talking about the R-863 radio, which is working properly for me.

Well I'm missing the rotor animations - they were a nice addition for UH-1H and it little bothers me that there's no animation on tail rotor when you push one of pedals.

Also, a big +1 for fan, of course :D It's simply a must have :D

Civilian version with no hardpoints.

Hello,

I have a little for TurboHog,

You are talking about the R-863 radio, which is working properly for me.

I join you one copy from the official Web site of DCS and I display the frequency: 134.00 of Kutaisi but I would like to know if I must used other setup for used the R-863 radio ?

The numbers #8 and #9 must be used too ?

A great thanks in advance for all, Skull.

Above your head there is a radio control panel and there is a RADIO/ICS switch. It is on intercoms by default so you will have to switch it to Radio. Use the rotary knob to select the radio to transmit your voice on (R-863 by default).

Civilian version with no hardpoints.

Civilian version would be great! And as others stated, working fan is a must! :)

Unlinking pedals from trim control would be great

English cockpit would be nice as well

It would be nice if the AI crew could start-up some systems and flip switches that they are supposed to flip. Not really needed in the Huey because everything is accessible for the captain but would be a nice AI crew feature on the Mi-8.

After trying the first three campaign missions, if you are considering translating the voice dialogs - DON'T. They sound so much better than the English dialogs in the Huey, and the English captions mean understanding them by people who don't speak Russian is not a problem.

there is no such thing in Mi-8... at least not what I found. If you enable the "rudder channel" (but you can fly without it) then you have dampening and you can twist the rotary for that channel to trim your heli like a plane.

But not the thing that is in Ka50 or Huey.

I got used very fast with the russian cockpit that now I'm thinking what was so hard for me to understand in ka50 cockpit :).

Yeah me too even to the point of not caring if it remains in russian very strange for me.. :helpsmilie:

I heard that, like the Ka-50 (if we forget about the autopilot for a second) when you hit the trim button, it trims both the stick and the pedals and you have to recenter both of them. In the Huey, you have the option to disable the rudder trim so you don't have to recenter the pedals every time you trim.

Mmhhh I would like to see the cockpit in English though. That's for some charts and switches that you don't have to use everytime. Indeed, some switches speak for themselves now, but If I want to select my VM source/radio/fire warning group/whatever I would like to see what is what.

+ It's more like an export Mi-17 with the tail rotor on the port side, which is a good excuse for an English cockpit!

I would love to see other crewmen in the cockpit, it is so empty (although beautiful).

+ crew inside the cockpit (not only from outside)

+ seat for the engineer, when on position 3

+ rear gunner (when real)

2:

I know that we can switches all the circuits breakers with the short cuts (Rctrl + Rshift +4,5,6, ect) but is it possible to click on the palets for up or down the circuits breakers because it's more immersive.

I join one screenshot #01 of the palets :

this!

+ english flight manual (not the real one, which is in the doc folder)

+ possibility to open the "sun roof"?!

regards,

Fire

+ Axis controls for the brakes

+ I still haven't found the keys for the "pod type dial" (navigator weapon control panel) and the aiming view scale, so if this isn't my fault and they don't exists, please add them (in case that there are some other missing: configurable keyboard commands for ALL switches please)

PS: found the keys for the pod select switch: "." and ";". still searching vor the aiming view scale keys...

This. :) A nice animation would be great. :smartass:

A lot of good suggestions here.

Door to the passenger/cargo compartment usable (by the flight engi)

This or at least add the window visible in the external model.

Edit: This probably requires an internal model of the cargo compartment but as it seems the rear/door-gunner is planned (it's listed here and here) that would require an internal model of it anyway and it would be nice to see each other in multiplayer co-op.

It would be nice to be able to use the brakes on my pedals

There aren't peddle brakes on the Mi-8. :thumbup:

Really? And how do they brake? at the moment there is a switch (brakes on/off).

And another point for the wishlist:

+ guided missiles: AT-2 Swatter, 9K38 Igla and 9K114 Shturm

Well, I know they are not planned; but this is a wishlist. :santa:

The brakes on the Mi-8 are mounted on the stick. Its a lever you pull.
