hey man where have you been we miss you you haven’t posted in a while lol i haven’t heard anything

I can't get the radio comes for the oil rig to work at all. It always come back with, go to an alternate. Very frustrating.

Everything is fine, but the instrument speed is not observed relative to the flight altitude

The F7 radio menu is not working. I've tried everything and every radio button I can find but the F7 Airborne Troops radio button isn't working.

Thanks for the fantastic video!

Alright I've made it so far to video 9 and again can't thank you enough. I did NOT think I'd sit down and actually watch these but learning choppers has really re-sparked that aviation bug in my. These are so much more rowdy I really enjoy the challenge vs winged aeroplanes they seem like easy mode now :) I can't believe we're hours into training and haven't even touched a pylon yet. So much to learn, you sir are a wealth of knowledge.

4 years later I can't thank you enough. I thought I was going to skip over things quickly but you're a solid teacher. The rhythm you go through the cockpit with really made things click and make 152 switches and doodads into a pretty easy 8 step process.

this sounds like an good series, hope it's still relevant!

You Don't power out of a vortex ring state... the more the power the greater the vortex. You have to side slip to destroy the vortex. The simple version

Thanks. This video collection never gets old. Well done.

Planes fly bu using physics to their benefit. Helicopters don't fly; they beat the air into submission just enough to fall constantly

ZILTOID???

You produce really good and informative clips. Thanks for you work and love you put in it. Thamks for upload. Greetz from Austria to you ! PEACE !!

Insane

Excellent vids hope you come back soon

2 years later, ground AI has not changed...

Its sound like paradise

Great video, I went from zero to hero in a morning.

I love the campaigns and missions where your faction is set to Russian and so the loadmaster's voice is also in Russian regardless of the aircraft settings

hope to see you back soon! your videos, to this day are the very BEST on the glorious Mi-8 Hip

Hey Terminus. I really appreciate your Mi8 videos. I've watched pretty much all of them. Can you please teach us about how to deal with winds? As a fixed wing guy, I understand how to input rudder/aileron to compensate, but I'm a bit clueless on helos. I can compensate when airborne but it feels like my initial lift off inputs are always incorrect, and also when transitioning back into hover for landing.

every now and then I think it'd be interesting to fly the Harrier. then I see a video like this, and scurry back to the Cold War modules as fast as my Hip will take me ;)

Yo im downloading game mi-8 is my fav heli do i have to buy it with real money?

Great video! Wish I saw this before 🙂

Great videos. Love your Mi8 stuff. Question... why are Non-Directional Beacons called that when that's literally all they give? Been wondering that for a while.

question, Why cannot I find the correcter in axis commands?

Where have you been all my life Thank you

Do you use any control axis curve or tuning for better control?

not gonna lie school bus livery on the hip would look good

What Number Rockband Is it

Do you have any videos on how to set up your sandbox missions?

Just started flying in DCS World, picked up the Mi-8 and fell in love. Your tutorial series is simply the best KZbin has to offer. Cannot say thank you enough!

It is always good idea to start with theory. Show the dead man's curve, explain what orange and red zone means, e.tc..

Ok. I think I will keep on flying without a hover 😅

THIS MISSION IS GARBAGE. FUCK THIS MISSION. PIECE OF SHIT TRASH UNREALISTICALLY DIFFICULT PILE OF DOGSHIT. i gave up on imandra because of this one mission. Fuckibg RIDICULOUS DUDE 😠 😡 😤 🤬 😠 😡

19:50 - You forgot the advice to land in the upwind (against the wind)

Hi vsTerminus, a great series of videos. Small inaccuracy with versions explanations though. Probably you know it already, but... Mi-8 had tail rotor moved to the left starting from Mi-8MT version which was internal, not export one and participated in Afghanistan war on the Soviet side along with the older Mi-8T which had rotor on the right side. It happened along with the engine upgrade from TV2-117 to much more powerful TV3-117. So it has nothing to do with internal/export versions and more is aligned with early versions/early engine vs later versions/next generation engines. Basically Mi-8MTV2 stands for M - modernized (new TV3 engine), T - transport/cargo, V - high altitude (visotny) (with high altitude version of the engines), 2 - version 2 of MTV with additinal armor and other things compared to simple MTV (aka MTV-1). Mi-17 is an export version of Mi-8MT and Mi-17-V1 is an export version of Mi-8MTV. All of those versions are quite confusing as there is probably almost a hundred of different Mi-8 versions, but as a rule of thumb special export versions are called around Mi-17 name with different additional digits and letters. To add confusion, we also sold abroad not only export versions but internal ones as well and they have names around Mi-8 just as internal ones. Hopefully this was not super-confusing. :)

I bought a second hand G940 force feedback stick specifically to fly choppers (though it is nice for all aircraft actually). Flying them with a normal joystick is just awful. Looking in to building my own FFB joystick now to overcome some of the 940's limitations.

Has DCS lighting changed a lot since this video? My flashlight is too bright and my nav lights too dim (even on the bright settings - as in the amount of light thrown to the ground).

seek & destroy

I wonder if the entire crew being locked into the one radio at a time is actually how the real helicopter works or if that is just a glitch/artefact of the module originally only being usable by a single player. It seems like a massive design mistake to not allow the three different people in the cockpit to each monitor a different radio. It also doesn't make sense for them to each have their own radio control panel if so.

As a former Soviet Airforce Hip pilot I can confirm that the search lights do in fact phase through the cockpit floor. It's dangerous to do at night as they blind you.

Problem is that currently, there is (according to one of ED membes), NO pilot of real Mi-24 Hind in the ED team. Only technician or single Mi-8 pilot.

This has made setting up SAM sites with CTLD so much easier especially on windy days. Since there's no trim buttons to assign like the Hind, I assign the heading knob and altitude up/down to my trim hat.

My boss has a gyrocopter and the whole operation is designed autorotation. He talked me into a ride one Saturday and it was a lot of fun. The pusher engine had a coupling like brake shoes that would grab the main rotor shaft and spin it up on the ground, getting the blades spinning before the takeoff run. Then he firewalled the throttles and we took off down a field. That forward airflow got the main rotor blades cooking! It almost felt like a powered helicopter. He always turned away from the blade rotation because in autorotation turning into the blades could cause the tail to snap around violently. Or maybe it was the other way around?... But it was very fast, we were doing 100 knots IAS with 3/4 throttle. When we came in for the landing, he reached up a turned the ignition off! I thought he was suicidal and wanted to take me with him. But with no pusher engine we came in and he glided right on in like it was normal. Since that flight I have been looking to buy one myself. I just can't seem to pull the trigger...

For two years the only helo I had was the Huey. I got very proficient with it. I could do just about anything. Land on a destroyer in 5 foot seas and 20 mph wind. No problem. Then I got the Mi8. Throw EVERYTHING you know out the window. I was like a pig on roller skates. VRS being the bane of my Hip career. But, like everything else in DCS, you can crash as much as you like. I spent a week figuring out all the details. Wish I would have seen this video. But when you learn all these things on your own, they tend to become instinct much faster that if shown how to do it. Nice video, well explained without excruciating detail. Some go WAY too in-depth when teaching. I don't give a shit who invented the R-831 mid-range VHF air radio , just show me how to use the damn thing! lol

The Hip has multi crew, the game and maps have moved on a bit. Please come back to DCS! Your video in the Hip helped me learn it on the trial period, so I'm buying it now in the sale! 👍 thanks for your help

Mine will never fucking get a lock....

"...after the Kiwoa module comes out." Ha, good one. Even a year ago that was already cynical.
