msalama Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Meaning I still love her though, regardless of all the lighting BS etc. going on ATM - though I'd like to see all that fixed too, of course. But ain't she just great still, huh? I mean, show me a chopper on a PC screen that behaves more realistically and I'll buy you a tankerful of vodka ;) So I just gotta luuurve her from here to eternity STILL it seems! The DCS Mi-8MTV2.

msalama Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 Yeah, she's the bees knees. I'm finding myself just flying her around more and more instead of doing any combat-related stuff since the model is just so great, systems and FM both. My kudos to you BST, she's certainly standing the test of time 100% :thumbup: The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.

Boris_CRO Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Please dont use a "she" for machines. Only handful of machines have a feminine gender in slavic languages. Helikopter as such has a masculine gender. Same as planes or tanks. mag.iur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrustvector Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 well my car is a she and so are my trucks/ other things like plane and chopper modules are shes as well :) its just a saying chill out :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msalama Posted November 27, 2018 Author Share Posted November 27, 2018 In English the habit of calling your vessel a "she" is an age-old custom, and aircraft pilots just continued with the tradition.

kam Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Always use a she for machines, due to how temperamental they are :megalol: I still think she is great as well :thumbup: Intel 5820k | Asus X-99A | Crucial 16GB | Powercolor Devil RX580 8GB | Win 10 x64 | Oculus Rift | https://gallery.ksotov.co.uk Patiently waiting for: DCS: Panavia Tornado, DCS: SA-2 Guideline, DCS: SA-3 Goa, DCS: S-300 Grumble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris_CRO Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 In my part of the woods it's more about grammar rules and situation where every noun has designated gender. A helicopter, a car, an airplane, a tank, a bike; every one of those has a male gender. Opposite to that: a kitchen, a washing machine, a spoon, a tub etc. are all feminine nouns. :-) mag.iur.

jimcarrel Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Within any part of the woods, there becomes established rules for being able to interpret what is being said (this works well as long as the one who is doing the saying is abiding by the rules). However, there is a monkey wrench always getting into the works, known as personal freedom and each individual develops his or her rules of thinking. That list of words, for example; helicopter, car, tank, bike can all become things that can make an individual feel "complete", shall we say. So you can end up (within some parts of the woods) with Sally calling her new car "Maverick" or "old Bill". Now Mike on the other hand will call his peppy new dirt bike "Nikki" and that other list of words, such as, kitchen, washing machine and spoon end up being merely inanimate objects that help complete a mundane daily chore. Now, for me, I would never (in my normal every day thinking) equate my opposite, or spouse to a kitchen, washing machine, spoon or tub. There can be rules and regs, but then there are ways that each individual develops to cope on a daily basis. As for my way, I refer to my old Honda Civic as a "her"and my spoon as just a spoon, to be used to eat with and then thrown in the sink to be washed. Just sayin'.........

msalama Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 Probably due to their relationship with said vessel No, just because said vessels were, and can still be, so temperamental.

smallberries Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I think it's just because we love them so much. Like how I love my Mi-8. Every time I try sling-loading with the UH-1, it is just an "it". Like, 'what a little ..it.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammer1-1 Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Personally I think the Mi8 looks more like a cicada than a woman. To me, its just another thing that belongs a little bit closer to the bug zapper in the backyard. Flies like one too; annoying AF during the summer months with that UHF buzzing going on in the trees, and the swarms that remind you of a Russian May Day parade minus the nuclear missiles parading down Red Square.
