Started a new thread in the forums: February 2016 - Time for a flight? Please comment!

That looks like fun! You should jump on my Mi-8 deathmatch server some time.

I might try and put the DM server / freeflight up again later today / tomorrow if I get the chance. Jump in and have a fly around! You don't need to be any good. You can just practice in the zone if you wish (as long as op doesn't join). Some random guy joined the other day and we ended up doing formation flights and ground attack without ever speaking.

Ive got it from the DCS Store and enjoying it heavily. Got the cold start all handeld and now just trying to learn the basics of flying. It aint easy but it sure is fun!

Yeah, the X52, I use the pro, works well. Just don't install the software as it's awful.
Feel free to add people from the group as steam friends - it's much better to fly with people who know what they are doing. I'll be happy to help you out if you need assistance with anything.

Hotas warthog ? X52 ?

Hey guys i thought i join the group to get a notification when there are steam sales for the Mi-8. Got no experience in DCS but high interest for flying the Mi-8 in the most realistic way possible . Anyhow what would be a good recommendation for a joystick to use if i buy the pack?

Don't forget tonight, Live DCS 2.0 on twitch 1pm PST

Hopefully up in the air this weekend! Will try and get a spontaneous game together at some point and invite those on my friends list. If anyone else wants to join, please let me know. I'll try and add you to my list of buddies.

Yes a great flight. Hope to see more Hip next time :)

Had a great flight with [2RIMa]-волк5 (Wolf) yesterday. Ran the navigation mission from Batumi up to Sakhumi with me taking the lead. He followed perfectly in good formation all the way. Excellent flight. Hopefully we can do more of that soon.

A little off topic - but if anyone is interested in building a mission for the mi-8, I would recommend delivering ammo and supplies for ground forces to get them operational. A great way for non-combat units to have an impact on the battlefield.

Hey Custer. The group is still active. I think most people are waiting for DCS 2 right now, which is a shame. The game is still more than playable in it's current state. I'd like to run a mission soon if people are interested. Navigation missions are always fun.

No problem

Hey guys! I'm planning to buy the Mi-8 in a few days. Looking for some people to play with after I've gotten familiar with the helicopter, if the group is still active!

Thanks, Random! Take a look at the forum threads if you haven't already. I've pretty much figured out all the navigation stuff now. Perhaps its time we run another event.

Really nice!

Hope you like the new group image!

If any of you know anything about navigation, please take a look at my discussion thread post. Thanks!

just started recently at the hip. only have a hour or so in it, but I can do circuits no problem. anyway. willing to try a bit of mp for formation practice, would help alot with getting smoother and more comfortable as well.

Reckon we should try and get more events going. I'll try setting something up for later today if possible.

Merry Christmas all!

Thanks for asking about it, Hack. That mission has kinda been abandoned for now due to a lack of time. But I've been working on a secret Mi-8 project for a while now. News later. Definitely up to run a multiplayer mission at some point if I can generate interest. I really want to do a proper navigation mission with a group of players.

any news to your mission slazia? looking forward to it

Hehe. You'll get used to it after a while. The SAS fix on the forums helps a lot :)

I will help with the Huey or CA. As I suck horribly at the Hip

Working on a new Mi-8 focused mission. It's another escort style mission where you can team up with CA folks to take back a city. Mi-8's will be tasked with troop drop, rearming, medevac, recon and anything else I can think of. CA guys can control units to assist the fight on the ground. Will update you as it progresses.

Hehe. If you see me online, Random, give me a shout. I should be able to help you out.

I just realised that I wrote the wrong thing xP I have no trouble at all flying the Huey but I have a very tough time in the mi8!

Nevermind. I've bought a new SSD for my computer and completely reinstalled windows. I should be active again if enough ppl are interested in the event.

Actually, I have a request too. Could someone post in the DCS forums for me? My computer died during a windows update and now I cant access anything. I'm posting this from a tablet. Could you say the event planned for this weekend is postponed due to technical problems. Sorry all.

Hi, Random. I'm sure someone here will be able to help. I'm not so hot in the U1-H1, but I can get about.

Hi, I just found this group.
Can anyone teach me the tricks to the Huey?
Its the only module that I have trouble flying.
Thanks

Sorry if I've been a bit quite since getting back from the US, been working on an app for use with the Mi-8 :) Further news will follow at a later day. For now, I'm interested in getting more events going if anyone is interested? Welcome new ppl btw :)

Hi Guys. Newbie Mi-8 pilot here. Still learning this bird.

hey there !
