D4n Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 From what I'd guess, the soviet engineers made it possible to rearm/change weapon pods during engines running. Was this just not implemented yet, or does ED have sources that even in combat areas, Mi-8 crews would have to shut down both engines to rearm (this would take many minutes...) ?

thrustvector Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 yep need engines off and if I remember sometimes you need the door open too, its for safety, did they really do it with the rotors spinning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4n Posted January 17, 2019 Author Share Posted January 17, 2019 At some point, in Afghanistan maybe? With more than 17000 of them built, I can't imagine that there wasn't a single conflict where they kept the engines running DCS Wishlist: 2K11 Krug SA-4 Ganef SAM, VR-TrackIR icons next to player names in score-chart PvP: 100+ manual player-kills with Stingers on a well known dynamic campaign server - 100+ VTOL FARP landings & 125+ hours AV-8B, F-14 crew, royal dutch airforce F-16C - PvP campaigns since 2013 DCS server-admins: please adhere to a common sense gaming industry policy as most server admins throughout the industry do.

D4n Posted January 18, 2019 Author Share Posted January 18, 2019 What I found is that Mi-24 (yes, not Mi-8, but also a russian helicopter) also was rearmed with running engines, here for example: DCS Wishlist: 2K11 Krug SA-4 Ganef SAM, VR-TrackIR icons next to player names in score-chart PvP: 100+ manual player-kills with Stingers on a well known dynamic campaign server - 100+ VTOL FARP landings & 125+ hours AV-8B, F-14 crew, royal dutch airforce F-16C - PvP campaigns since 2013 DCS server-admins: please adhere to a common sense gaming industry policy as most server admins throughout the industry do.

ams999 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Hi, though I don't own the Mi-8 I've seen a friend of mine rearm it several times with engines running, so I asked him about that. He told me that a switch has to be put on ICS (intercom) and then you don't need to wind down the engines. Below a photo as an example, don't worry about the arrows, those are not mine but you can see the 'ICS' he's talking about. Give it a try.

Looney Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Repairing needs the engines to be spooled down and off. Rearming can be done by opening the window and putting the switch in the intercom position, after that, refueling and rearming should be possible.

D4n Posted September 1, 2019 Author Share Posted September 1, 2019 Related new issue: Apparently, currently, one has to have some radio menu open to get rearmed? -.- Please fix DCS Wishlist: 2K11 Krug SA-4 Ganef SAM, VR-TrackIR icons next to player names in score-chart PvP: 100+ manual player-kills with Stingers on a well known dynamic campaign server - 100+ VTOL FARP landings & 125+ hours AV-8B, F-14 crew, royal dutch airforce F-16C - PvP campaigns since 2013 DCS server-admins: please adhere to a common sense gaming industry policy as most server admins throughout the industry do.

Fri13 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 (edited) Dragen, Gripen, Hornet etc are/were refueled and rearmed engines running. That is why you get 10-15min turn around times with those on ground bases. You don't turn engines of unless there is a engine problems, meaning you don't fly for next hours before engine is either swapped or repaired, meaning anyways removing engine from fuselage. And that is done without radio even, just with hands signals to ground crew. With helicopter the crew is there to do rearming and refueling as well.

fl0w Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 again not a bug. not for the mi8 not for the F14 not for the A10C, not for the KA50 not for the F18 or any module in DCS. . you must shut down engines to repair. all modules. all the time. Pull the cords, eject! Daniel, just because you have been posting this exact same issue everywhere on the forums with modules, and especially listing it as a DCS bug does not make it an actual bug or problem. You need to have your engines off. You have been giving this answer numerous times and you have still posted in many places hoping for something different. Please take this with a grain of salt, I do not mean to be rude or offensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kappi Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 It's not about repairing but about rearming. The rearming menu (Alt+/) doesn't work with engines running in the Mi-8. You have to request it via Comm menu. ___________________________________________ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Looking forward to it, Belsimtek!:thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
