Annunciator "СТВОРКИ ОТКРЫТЫ" (Cargo bay doors open) now functional.

 

Now red annunciator "СТВОРКИ ОТКРЫТЫ"

 

 

 

will warn You about cargo bay doors being opened.

 

 

And You'll never ever take off with cargo bay open. Unless it's not written in Your flight plan. :doh:

Siren is implemented. 

 

Mi-8MTV sirena system belongs to assault-transport equipment.

To give an audio signal for troops the S-1 siren is installed on overhead pannel at frame 6 in cargo bay.

To turn on siren the following actions to be done:

− turn ON switch «Ð ÐКЕТЫ / СИРЕÐл;

 

 

 

− press «Ð¡Ð˜Ð Ð•Ðл (siren) button located near to external payload control pannel.

 

 

Siren will sound and annunciator pannel «Ð¡Ð˜Ð Ð•ÐРВКЛЮЧЕÐл (siren is on) will light up. Upon button release siren will turn off as well as annunciator pannel.

 

 

Now You shouldn't be worrying about troops, they'll disembark in right time hearing the powerful sound of siren activated by You.

«ÐВТОМÐТ. СБРОС» (automatic release) switch is now functional.

 

 

Electrical equipment of external load contains DG-64M lock.

 

 

 

DG-64M lock is equipped with an automatic release mechanism. Which is activated by "ВнешнÑÑ Ð¿Ð¾Ð´Ð²ÐµÑка – ÐвтоматичеÑкий ÑброÑ" (external load - automatic release) switch on a middle electric panel.

 

Lock status is indicated by "ЗÐМОК ОТКРЫТ" (lock is open) green annunciator panel on middle electric panel.

 

 

In flight lock can be opened by pressing tactical or emergency buttons located on cyclic stick.  

 

 

 

"ÐвтоматичеÑкий ÑброÑ" (automatic release) switch should be off during flight.

 

When it's necessary lock can be opened automatically. On approach to cargo unload area turn on "ÐвтоматичеÑкий ÑброÑ" (automatic relase) switch. After cargo is on the ground and tension of slings is less than 20 +/-8 kg, automatics will open the lock and slings will be released.

The external resistance for voltage control of STG-3 starter-generator is now implemented. Circuit breaker is located on the right hand electric panel.

 

 

 

Standby generator voltage is controlled before it's getting turned in aircraft electrical system by putting rotary switch to «Ð Ð•Ð—ЕР ГЕл (Standby generator) position.

 

 

While checking the AI-9V engine work it's also necessary to check the function of STG-3 starter-generator. To do that it's needed having normal  AI-9V engine RPM to put voltage control rotary switch to «Ð Ð•Ð—ЕР ГЕл (Standby generator) position.

Voltmeter V-1 should indicate voltage of 27 ... 28 V.

In case of voltage runaway adjust it by tuning external resistance (РЕГУЛИР.ÐÐПРЯЖ.) located on the right hand electric panel.

Good luck to all in Your virtual flights!

 

 

News No.11

 

The external resistance "VS-33Ð" «I — РЕГУЛИРОВÐÐИЕ ÐÐПРЯЖЕÐИЯ — II» (I - voltage control - II) is now implemented.

 

 

After generators are turned on it's needed to activate load and check voltages of the busses. As a load should be turned on: rectifiers, maximum possible quantity of DC consumers, radios and navigation equipment. Voltage can be controlled via rotary switch according to voltmeter VF-0.4-250 indication. 

 

 

Electrical system also contain voltage control between generators' phases (line voltage), external power and ~115 V lines voltages control. The external resistances "VS-33Ð" «I — РЕГУЛИРОВÐÐИЕ ÐÐПРЯЖЕÐИЯ — II» (I - voltage control - II) adjust generators' voltages to 204 V. In operation of electrical system phase-to-phase (line voltage) generators' voltages should be within the range of 200 to 208 V.

 

Fly in a right way.

Now you can remove the side mirrors.

 

"On / Off button. mirror "in the settings has 3 positions:

 

 

1. Mirrors have work.

 

 

2. Mirrors is, do not work.

 

 

3. Mirrors removed.

 

 

Appearance:

 

1. Mirrors removed.

 

 

2. Mirrors installed.

 

 

Increasing the choice of helicopter layout will produce a new small pleasures of flights to MI-8MTV2 Belsimtek.

There are clickable and animation elements pilot's cyclic control stick.

 

 

Colleagues, we are very pleased to read that you have seen and appreciated our work!

With the Release of the DCS: Mi-8 in addition to the bugs fix, add doorgunner and other features awaits you a complete description of the Systems of hels and Procedures, in style as in the MiG-15 Flight Manual! 

Perhaps English (in describe the Systems) will not be very good, but I think - will be understandable)

 

So far, we decided to do so: door gunner (KORD 12.7) can be controlled by both the player and the AI, and aft gunner (PKT 7.62) - only AI

For the purpose of bigger approach of perception of management Mi-8MTB2 of DCS to real, specialists of the company Belsimtek enter into game new control for joysticks - "JOYSTICK WITHOUT SPRINGS AND FFB". 

 

 

That is trimming option for joysticks without springs and without feedback (FFB – Force Feedback)." 

 

Features of use of joysticks of various designs.

 

As in the real helicopter the handle of a cyclic step of the helicopter, practically never is in strictly central situation and at the same time the mechanism of trim effect is actively used (fixing by springs of any situation CYCLIC CONTROL SYSTEM), the joystick with feedback (FFB) which also, as well as in real can fix the handle in any place of admissible range of movements, is ideal option for management of helicopter model. Position of the handle of the joystick with feedback (FFB) always corresponds to situation CYCLIC CONTROL SYSTEM in a virtual cabin. Almost exact imitation of work of CYCLIC CONTROL SYSTEM, as in the real helicopter is created. In the ordinary joystick the handle is kept by springs in the central situation, and the player needs or to overcome constantly efforts of springs, or to use function of the "EXPECTATION of RETURN TO the CENTER" control that does not allow to play comfortably on models of helicopters.

 

Because joysticks with FFB feedback, are rather rare on sale presently, and also are quite expensive, enthusiasts of the Mi-8MTB2 module with support Belsimtek conducted research on the basis of the COBRA M5 joystick

 

 

, for the purpose of a possibility of its completion regarding acquisition of the main property by it from FFB joysticks – possibilities of free movement and deduction without efforts of the handle of the game device on any mode of flight of model of the helicopter., 

 Centering springs which keep the handle in the center were removed from the COBRA M5 joystick. And under axes of longitudinal and cross rocking chairs, washers, for the purpose of creation of loading effect for the joystick handle were enclosed (that there was no "falling" of the handle at a hand).

 

For a perception correctness the simulator of such modifed joystick and at the same time preservations of sound effect of trimming into game entered new control for joysticks with the withdrawn springs - "JOYSTICK WITHOUT SPRINGS AND FFB".

This function allows to synchronize when pressing the button of the trimmer position of the virtual handle with position of the handle of the joystick on various modes of flight. 

 

Flights on DCS: Mi-8 MTB2, with use of the COBRA M5 joystick and remote springs, showed excellent imitation of work of CYCLIC CONTROL SYSTEM, full compliance of situation CYCLIC CONTROL SYSTEM in a virtual cabin and joystick handles. Running start of indexes of the autopilot decreased, management became more exact, unpleasant twitchings of the handle of management when using the "trimming with return to the center" mode due to the lack of need of return of the handle of the joystick to the central situation for removal of effort from joystick springs disappeared. In general flights became more smooth.  

 

Testing was carried out by real pilots of MI-8 who confirmed high extent of approach of motility of movements with the handle of the COBRA M5 joystick with remote springs to work as real CYCLIC CONTROL SYSTEM.  

 

It is natural that some time should be spent for accustoming to the new scheme of management, to wean from finding of the handle of management of the joystick in the center. But more real feelings received subsequently when flying on "eight", compensate everything!

 

At desire to feel how moves in flight of CYCLIC CONTROL SYSTEM of the real helicopter, to receive more exact skills of management of the eight, each user, using these recommendations, will be able to make simple alterations of the joystick.

Cleaning of springs from pedals will add more real perception of control of helicopter.
