Hi everyone.

I have a little question. Is it possible to correct behaviour of Mi-8MTV? Talking about this helicopter, it should LIFT UP when pilot press LEFT pedal and  DESCENDS, when he/she  pushes RIGHT one during hovering! You may be ask me where I from know it? Cause I`m a real pilot of helicopter Mi-8MTV over then 20 years!

Please help me to bring this information to developers of model of this amazing  aircraft!

Thank you!

Always heard this was becuase of engine governer. As you yaw left, compared to helicopter the governor sees more RPM, and decreases power. And as you yaw right, it sees decreased RPM, and increases engine power. 
 

But of course this is with a steady yaw in a hover, rapid changes before yaw builds up will definitely still see the left pedal increase power and right the opposite. And as you speed up and possible yaw rate decreases. The effect goes back to how you expect, left pedal increasing power and right pedal decreasing power. 
 

You would think rotor would accelerate with the yaw, and IIRC i heard something about the governor only caring about RPM compared to earth surface. So idk

Mi-17 when?

The JF-17 is not better than the F-16; it's different. It's how you fly that counts.

Crazy enough I just picked up the Mi-8 during the Christmas sale and I'm absolutely loving it. I always enjoyed flying the Huey and the Blackshark but I wanted to give the HIP a shot since it's just a big Russian beast of a helo and I'm glad I did. I purchased all of the campaigns and zipped through 3 of the The Open Border missions last night. Definitely looking forward to honing more skill in this Helo before I jump onto one of the Helo multiplayer servers and try my hand at helping out a group of Helo pilots. I can't wait.

From what I can find, the Mi-17 has more powerful engines. Do we have those?
