New Flight engineer view when sling loading

Nice addition for the Mi-8 that we found during our sling load training at BSD is the new view when you are switching to the flight engineer seat during sling loads. You can see now from the cabin the crate below the chopper. I really don't know when this feature was added, and it still baffles me a little bit to see that BST does not advertise their work on this great module, unless I misread the changelog. Anyway, good job guys.

Ah, and the sling load is working well now.

Nice find. Checkin it out now.

A screenie for those of us that are far away from our home PC? :D

Not a screen but here you go:

Lol, and Im sitting here using this feature for a couple of weeks now and just thinking it was there all the time and it was just me who never realized. I guess we do need to see those changelogs, there might be more surprises :D

We had the "Look out the window to the cargo" a while, the missing flight engineer is new from my point of view.

I also got no clue when it got added, but I've been using it for a while now, like a few months. It's not a brand new feature.

My bad then (although I can see it's new too for some). Pretty sure I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere in the change logs. It was just pure luck to find this out since I got used to hook the crates from the left or right seat and never switch to the engineer.

I am used to use the pilot's view only for sling loading but those 2 additional views (lean outside the window and flight engineer) are great!

BaD CrC: thanks for the heads up!

BST Team: good job! Thanks.

Corvus: I really like your video (light, view angles, flying, location...)! Thanks. Can you please share the data so that I can recreate the flight:

- Date

- Time

- Location

- Weather

Thanks Tony, glad you like my video. I've attached my simple training mission I've used to make this video. That should make things easier:)

Great! Thanks mate :thumbup:

Last question: your video was of extreme clarity. In what resolution did you record it? 2560 x 1440?

No problem:)

Yes video was recorded in 2560x1440/80Mbps using Nvidia ShadowPlay.

Thanks!

OK, one more thing that I found out, but maybe I am late again on this. When refueling, you can now hear the sound of the fuel being pumped in your helicopter. New?

Been there a while. You also need to change one of the fuel pump settings (I think) in order to refuel properly.

Also, inverted flight will give you an emergency fuel warning now, as the service tank sensors won't see the fuel. I don't remember that before.

There's a looking out the window view? Like head leaned out for sling load? How do I get that one?

Not in the current NTTR at least, just refueled as always and there was no change to the procedure that I noticed. Are you talking about the v1.5b?

For me, Christmas came once I could lean out the window and look down with the touch of a button.

The dream is that I can do that with head tracking alone.... It will probably be another Belsimtek first.

Inverted flight in the Mi-8? you are 'da boss! ;):thumbup:

Granted, the Mi-8's tanks last longer than my bladder so refueling for me isn't very common... as such, I haven't personally tested this. =P

I haven't completed a loop lately, but barrel rolls aren't too hard as long as your passengers are wearing their seatbelts.
