Dev field trip to record Mi-8MTV2 audio for DCS! Recently a group of Belsimtek and ED devs took a field trip an airfield near Moscow to record sound samples of the Mi-8MTV2 helicopter for the upcoming DCS simulation. Besides the engine and rotor audio, the sim will also feature authentic sounds of all of the cockpit switches, knobs, electrical systems, pumps, and other elements of the helicopter. Each sound sample was recorded separately whenever possible for inclusion into the sim. In some cases, when a separate recording could not be made, the sound will be synthesized based on the sample audio.

Primary audio (engines, rotors, systems) was recorded both from inside the cockpit and outside the helicopter. Engine and rotor audio was sampled during ground engine runs, hovering, and low flybys from different directions.

Special recording equipment was used to capture quality audio samples despite the high wind speeds generated by the rotor blades. We are looking forward to offering you’re a truly authentic and immersive audio experience in DCS: Mi-8MTV2. Currently our sound engineer is working with the captured audio and we expect that his samples will be ready for addition into the project within 5-10 days. To give you a little more info about the product: as with the Huey, DCS: Mi-8MTV2 will feature “full real” flight and systems modeling as you’ve come to expect from DCS-level simulations. I think it’s safe to say that our Mi-8 will be as good as a virtual Mi-8 can possibly be and certainly will stand proud with the other great DCS helicopter modules, while perhaps raising the bar even a little higher in some areas (like cockpit sounds).

The product will feature a 20 mission campaign by the creators of the Huey 'UN Pilot' campaign, which was very well recieved by the community, and the normal set of features that will include interactive training missions and demonstrations, single combat missions, and extensive documentation. In addition the final release features previously annouced for the Huey all apply to the Mi-8 as well, including new infantry modeling, sling load, etc. We need to be clear about the current completion state of the product as it goes into final testing prior to being made available for download as part of the pre-purchase open beta access.

The Mi-8MTV2 module is currently at a somewhat earlier development stage than was the Huey at release. As I write this, we are still working on an English draft of the flight manual and translation of the campaign missions. What is already included is the Quickstart manual and some interactive training lessons to get you started that will cover the start-up procedure, weapons fire, and a takeoff demo track. The first three missions of the campaign are also included.

The flight model is essentially complete and passes muster with our very own senior Mi-8 pilot managing the project - PilotMi8. The damage model is still in progress. Weapons currently fully modeled include unguided rockets and three varieties of external gun pods. While I have no doubt our progress on completing these features will be very quick, we obivously understand some of you may wish to wait a until they are 'in' before making your purcahse. We've also seen some concerns raised about our releasing of a second module before the first, the Huey, is final. There are internal reasons why this works best for us, like personnel workflow and finances, but there is also the simple fact that these two products share a lot of common ground and will share even more common features as they are developed, such as infantry and sling loads. We look forward to your exploration of another great PC flight sim and are happy to be a part of the process!

As always, thank you for your time and support! - 08/30/13 11:23 PM Re: DCS: Mil Mi-8MTv2 [] Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 1,154 Member Member Joined: Aug 2008 Posts: 1,154. Once again I will explain more in detail. If we equally understand the concept of ' level of implementation,' then implemented all systems except: SARPP -12, IFF, heating and ventilation, a recorder, shooting off flares, C- 13 ( removes the reticle when you click on the button combat ). While not work ( or until done ): - CB radikompas ARC -9 - HF radio core -1M - Elektrosbrasyvatel ( bombs ) ESBR - No bombsight right pilot OPB- 1p - No guns - There is no external load - Arcade mode does not work. The rest is all according to the AFM. Something modeled more deeply and very good.
