I would gladly pay a fine sum to upgrade my Mi-8 for those kinds of upgrades. I hope they increase head space for Track-IR/VR because it would be really cool to look outside the helicopter and would help a lot with cargo without needing to press the button. Also just needs it to feel more open. This is the one helicopter that desperately needs multicrew though. That's my #1 most wanted thing from ED. Not a new module, just Mi-8 multicrew support. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boosterdog Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 I happily pay for an update like the A10 but I fear the Hip, although deservng, is not as popular a model as the Hog or Shark for ED to consider doing such. I remember thinking when the P51 got an update that ED had an agenda to push WW2 but, with the Hip, they got the Apache and Hind as poster girls. In a way though, I also like it being left alone.

Now that Mi-24 has multicrew support it may be easier for them to do it for pre-existing Mi-8. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sobakopes Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Multi crew might spoil it though. You won't be able to switch between left and right seats in multiplayer. This will limit you pilots visibility to the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fly with Black Shark Den. Spent a lot of time training and developing skills to be able to do so as a profficient member of squadron. Mission time, we have odd number of pilots. I drew a short straw and I am single pilot. Are you saying that I can't fly now? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's too much then just fly Black Shark or Hind. Edited January 14, 2022 by IcedVenom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's called telling your copilot to do it for you because swapping back and forth between different seats in a 3-man helicopter all by yourself is totally realistic for a simulation which advertises itself for its realism. Go play single player and stop crying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flappie Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 We get it: some users love multicrew and some don't, which means a per-aircraft "Disable multicrew" option would be welcome in the mission editor. There would be both multicrew and non-multicrew aircraft in a same MP mission and everyone would be happy. 6 2 Don't accept indie game testing requests from friends in Discord. Ever.

Go play single player and stop crying. Why is all you can do on this forum is to attack everyone that wants to fly his 2/3 crew plane/helicopter without a second human player? Why is it so hard for you to understand that there are many people out there who whant to be able to fly alone or have nobody within their friends who would be interested in playing this niche game? Why is only YOUR solution the ultimate right and one and only solution that you are required to have a second human player in the cockpit? And i'm not interested in a random dude on the internet to join my cockpit, had that once in an F-14 and after him ejecting after takeoff leaving me with a convertible, no thanks, i keep flying solo. And no, nobody will "go play single player" because of some pissed off, rude dude on the internet is telling them. 7 4 Modules: KA-50, A-10C, FC3, UH-1H, MI-8MTV2, CA, MIG-21bis, FW-190D9, Bf-109K4, F-86F, MIG-15bis, M-2000C, SA342 Gazelle, AJS-37 Viggen, F/A-18C, F-14, C-101, FW-190A8, F-16C, F-5E, JF-17, SC, Mi-24P Hind, AH-64D Apache, Mirage F1, F-4E Phantom II System: Win 11 Pro 64bit, Ryzen 3800X, 32gb RAM DDR4-3200, PowerColor Radeon RX 6900XT Red Devil ,1 x Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 2TB NVMe, 2 x Samsung SSD 2TB + 1TB SATA, MFG Crosswind Rudder Pedals - VIRPIL T-50CM and VIRPIL MongoosT-50 Throttle - HP Reverg G2, using only the latest Open Beta, DCS settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
