Nealius Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 We won't be able to tell without video of what you did before that sound. I've been flying the Hip for more than four years and this is the first time I've ever heard that sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4n Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 YESSS FOUND IT!!! from listening to all 105 (!!!) sound files, "Mi8_migalka" is the one... now the question, what device is called "migalka" ?

msalama Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 An electrical relay making the annunciator lights blink. Has a bypass switch on the upper RH wall panel. It's not weird, it's just how the real thing is. The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4n Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 Weird that I heard that thing then as soon as I switched off my engine (or when I got shot and thus had to perform autorotation landing) And why does it click every 1000 ms, and not just once?

msalama Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 You're not making much sense. First off, autostarts or manual startups? Second, how about shutdowns - manual or autostop? Third, have you read the Mi-8's POH and understand how the bird works? Anyway, if the flashing lights switch on the upper RH wall panel is on, you will get the clicking sound and the warning lights will blink if you receive critical damage. And that is how the real thing works. EDIT: And why does it click every 1000 ms, and not just once? OK, you obviously haven't either read the manual or understood how this works, since you wouldn't have asked if you had. The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.

thrustvector Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 the sound is a generator/electrical contact, its like a failure/warning, check warning panel lights, probably co pilot right shoulder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, you obviously haven't either read the manual or understood how this works, since you wouldn't have asked if you had.Exactly, I was hoping for replies by supportive players in this thread (instead of spending 20-30 min. in some huuuge manual).

D4n Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 Ooooh, like this? So there is a condensator building up an electrical charge for 1 sec and then unloading it, then the relay clicks?

Jetguy06 Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 Interesting, I'd have NEVER expected a relay to be THAT loud, must be some HUUUGE relay then. Wow, soviet technology xD They're supposed to be that loud. The clicking with the blinking lights is the audio cue to add to the visual flashing cue that something is wrong. Think of the flashing light/clicking combination as the Mi-8 version of a Master Caution. You're flying along, you hear the clicking, you start looking for flashing lights in the cockpit. You find them, see what they say, and address the problem. It's the same as getting a beeping with an amber (or red) Master Caution light in a Mirage or A-10 or F-18, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4n Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 Interesting. I'd have expected the clicking sound to be accompanied by a flashing cue on the pilots instrument panel.

D4n Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 Yep, still I guess most reality scenarios see the Mi-8 as transport without weapons, but in DCS PvP ofc. it's always wise to bring in weapons.

Looney Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 You can set the warning lights to either blink or remain steady. It's the rightmost switch on the lighting panel (co-pilot side, right-shoulder panel, bottom one where you also set nav lights, formation lights and so on, the rightmost switch is called Flash and makes your warning lights flash instead of steady).

Rogue Trooper Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 (edited) As mentioned before it is a part of the alarm system and it is loud.
