i love this thing works great

in the Mil Mi-8 and many other soviet helicopters is the pilot seat left, not right

i like it

Even though I don't like how you control it from the right side, I do like the possible functional usage of it

yeah I should update it, a lot of inaccuracy I'd like to fix.

How wide is the cargo bay? 5 blocks?

where is the refueling port?

oh sweet im looking forward to the new ones!

Felt like I could do a better job, I'll fix it in the future uploading 2 versions.

why did you take down your ka-27?

It is, try the other seat.

I wish this was able to be controlled manually

Love this Mi-8, it's so much better than mine! I don't know if I should be happy, or sad...

Yeah... brakes lol, look up in the cockpit and you can turn them off.

Hey don't worry, turns out that the wheel kept getting stuck under the hanger floor. Btw this is sexy

How do you control the heli? I love the Mi-8 and I am very upset that I can't figure out how to move. All that happen when I do the start up is that the heli drifts backwards because it is on an angle and when I eventually get it to lift it has a spaz and flips upside down. Please, I need this beauty in my life

Хотел бы увидеть что-то типо авторотации и радиооборудование желательно добавить, можно еще подвесов докинуть на бока с возможностью подкинуть баков дополнительных или допустим НАРы

Ценим обратную связь

Крафт очень стабильный, по динамике похож на ми-8 в реалиях шторма, если ставить обороты на 23-25 то очень уверенно идет)

Yes, this was the helicopter.

You know that scene from MW3 during the Air Force 1 mission, I think this was the heli from that scene.

Ummm I have seen Pictures of The Mi8 Tail low ... Think it depends on variant .. I think its the Attack Variant and VIP model that are lower .. I could be wrong I am not a expert on Russian Aircraft ... Now if it was about the UH60 i could answer

The boarding stairs shouldnt be merged as far as I know... it automatically recharges when the engine is fully on, just follow start up guide in description.

I didn't add suspension hence the overlysized ones in-game, with little to barely no configuration.
And the issue you're having with balance can be solved with simply putting on auto-hover.

Also, for the "sitting lower" part, I'm not gonna bother adding a track system for it, it will look awful.

nice design, but to me it seems like it has some problems.

i had to make a runningboard out of pipes and attach it to the side door because carrying around a stepladder is not practical.

i had to add in an electrical connector because the battery died after a few minutes on the ground and it wouldnt start but there was no place to recharge the battery.

once i tried to take off it just crashed because its so off-balance. with the way the main rotor is tilted at a resting state it'll start moving backwards super fast whenever the engine is on and the brakes arent on. even with them on it just tips over backwards.

in real life it sits with the rear slightly lower, but nowhere near as drastic as this. and to compensate for this the main rotor assembly is positioned like 5 degrees rotated towards the nose. it also has suspension on the front wheel, while this just has a pipe stuck to the bottom.

so how do you take off with this thing? what's the trick to it? what am i missing?

You did a outstanding job ... As some1 from US i always loved the look of a MI8 ... Or the Hind ... But great job ... Cant wait to see what you build next

slavic 10/10 comerade. hamood approved

Запрыгивать с лесенки в кабину - ппц вы извращенцы! Управляется плохо

why do i think every time i see any of his creations of real life vehicles ie c130 mi8 and others fills me with the urge to play arma3 i still like his creations but its maybe the little details ion his planes and helis that make them stand out in my opinion. keep up the work.

Very good comrade!
