YoYo Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 For me simply "Must have". I was waiting for this bird and for Cobra and Hind. Need a trip to Everest on Mi-8... (ups sorry, not yet map ; , wait for EDGE... ;) But for Belsimtek - very good choice! Hope, in this year!

ebabil Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 i played with this in arma2, but i beleive it will be much more difficult than arma. i can not dare to learn. btw i hope belsimtek doesn't loose it's foucs on developing huey. because it has too many things to be done. especially about flight dynamics FC3 | UH-1 | Mi-8 | A-10C II | F/A-18 | Ka-50 III | F-14 | F-16 | AH-64 | Mi-24 | F-5 | F-15E| F-4| Tornado Persian Gulf | Nevada | Syria | NS-430 | Supercarrier // Wishlist: CH-53 | UH-60 Youtube MS FFB2 - TM Warthog - CH Pro Pedals - Trackir 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After they really finish the Huey, which is obviously not the case yet, they should take a well deserved break and then shift focus to the Mi-8.

Lucas_From_Hell Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 The Mi-8 name is pretty misleading, we're getting something even better. The MTV-2 variant is essentially a Mi-17, hot and high variant with improved armour, engines and anti-torque rotor. Mi-8 doesn't say enough about this beauty :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlphaOneSix Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I wouldn't say that the name is misleading. The Mi-8MTV-1 is identical to the Mi-17. The -8 is for Russian military/civil service, and the -17 is for export. So Russia technically does not operate any Mi-17s. But yes, the Mi-8 versions prior to the MTV-1 were very different helicopters when comparing their capabilities. I'm just glad to be getting a helicopter module that I actually have intimate knowledge of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Pharoah Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Hmmm great to see they're delving into rotary wing a/c. Not sure I'll get the Mi8 - looks and flies like a bigger version of the huey, not something you'd want to take up against AAA. I'd rather they did the AH1Z or AH64 or something which is a true attack heli.

I second that I'm disappointed to be honest. was really looking forward to some A/G with a Huey by my side, just like real life.Too bad.

Stratos Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Im sure others will do the gunships, IIRC a Hind is already a WIP, but this choppers are so fun to fly that this will be a day one purchase for me.

eurofor Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 The Mi-8 is at least as iconic as the UH-1. Probably more. It has more recent interesting history too. Belsimtek has already proven themselves and I'd buy anything from them but the line-up certainly does not disappoint. It's going to be an absolute joy flying this.

msalama Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 (edited) Have I misunderstood something here, or is Wikipedia wrong again? They say (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mil_Mi-8) that the MT is a civilian heavy hauler / flying crane with (presumably) no armament-carrying capability. This begs the question: is Belsimtek now boldly going where no DCS developer has gone before, i.e. down the civvie street? EDIT: Nah. Talking out of me arse again. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mil_Mi-17 for proper details :) Edited May 14, 2013 by msalama The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.

Celo63 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 The 8 is great I had the honour of flying in one of these from Ashkabad to Prichal (plus the return journey) in Turkmenistan back in '93. I was a little apprehensive when I first saw our bird on the ramp but after the flight I was hooked. A bit uncomfortable sitting in the sling seats for a couple hours and it was roasting hot despite a couple "portholes" being open. The pilots were in shorts, vests and sandals and the cockpit fan was on full. Landed on the beach at Prichal on the shores of the Caspian Sea and the pilots went for a swim before having a picnic in the dwindling shade under the nose. Afterwards, they fired up the bird again and returned to Ashkabad. Cool job! Some pics attached. Also found some very good vids of the Mi-8 on YouTube:- Short clip of an Mi-8 under a low bridge http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMgbcE-fVME Mi-8! The Magnificent Eight! 1/2 (Full length documentary) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBoxuksyXV0 Mi-8! The Magnificent Eight! 2/2 (Full length documentary) Really looking forward to the Mi-8 and would also love to have an Mi-26 later on down the road. Its modelled already so part of the work is done. Gotta let us fly the biggest production helo in the world! The super-truck of the skies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
