Mi-2 Hoplite Helicopter for MSFS-2020/2024 by Digital Aeronautics

[digitalaero6606]

1st ESSENTIAL update for Mi-2 Hoplite helicopter for MSFS-2024 is coming by the end of August!

It has all the features you have been missing and were used to seeing in MSFS-2024 - pilot, passengers, plugs and covers, tablet and more!

Adjusted under SU6!

List of changes/improvements v 1.2.0 (preliminary)

Flight model:

-Fuselage CFD system. For each version of the helicopter (with tanks, without tanks, one of the tanks, respectively), there are CFDs of the corresponding external tanks

-CFD (object surface) for horizontal stabilizer (vertical stabilizer added in place of the rear beam for more stable straight-line flight)

-Tail rotor RPM fixed (RPM were lowered)

-The main rotor reconfigured for the fuselage with CFD

Navgraph Loading System:

-A system for loading / unloading of passengers has been set up. When selecting the flight weight on the tablet, you can now save the configuration and request passenger boarding through the dispatcher. A bus will appear, passengers will walk from it to the helicopter. Near the entry point, the visualization of walking passengers switches to passengers sitting inside.

-An interactive point for the fuel tanker was added. Can also be called in through the ground handling menu.

Effects:

-Redone for the modular system

Sounds:

-Redone for a modular system

Helicopter systems:

-For each version of the helicopter, the correct display of external tanks on the tablet was configured

The LODs for the entire helicopter have been worked out, the helicopter has been completely transferred as per MSFS-2024 SDK

Plugs and covers, pads that affect the helicopter both at launch and when taxiing have been added

Minor bugs in WASM fixed

The display and sounds of the helicopter in multiplayer fixed

Four helicopter presets are configured: without tanks, only with the left tank, only with the right tank, with both tanks (including loading and centering of the helicopter)

Display of the pilot fixed

Tablet added

After the update, the additional liveries are unavailable for me. Any ideas?

[Mulkow]

The model changed a bit. You need to download the liveries again and replace the old ones.

Of course, I reinstalled everything; this isn’t my first time with FS updates. The Just Flight version includes the June additions on the website. I’m just curious if it’s just not visible to me.

Have to admit I have a soft spot in my hangar for this very well done bird. First thing I do when entering the cockpit is turn on the DW-3 dash fan. Instant immersion into a 1960s Russian designed Polish built helo. The cockpit graphics are wonderful.

V2 seemed to really improve the flight model - it’s a pretty tame bird now at 5,000 ft as long as you don’t get it too excited!

[digitalaero6606]

Hello! We are sorting out the issue with liveries for v 1.2.0 on JustFlight. Thank you for your patience. Please mind that all files (model and 21 livery files) were updated for v 1.2.0 so the previous files need to be removed and all updated files have to be installed again.

[B4APA]

Great, thanks for the reply. I’ll be waiting for an update then.

[digitalaero6606]

JustFlight confirmed that liveries have been updated for v 1.2.0 in the download section of the product. Thank you for your patience!

[B4APA]

Thank you, everything is fine now. Great changes.

Thanks for the update, for future updates you could consider a single zip file instead of multiple files.

[digitalaero6606]

Thank you for the comment. There were 2 main reasons for multiple livery files: 1) siminstaller requirements; 2) livery file weight

Weird pitot bug…

Flew the Mi2 from cold and dark …took off all the covers …but forgot the pitot.
And of course, no airspeed showing…
…Didn’t think much of it at the time…and went to fly something else …no airpeed showing …tried a few more aircraft …all the same …no airspeed showing!
Clutching at staws…went back to a C and D Mi 2 as that was the first aircraft I noticed the issue …took off all the covers and the pitot cover,…and voila, ASI’s work again in my other aircraft!

If anybody gets the same issue …worth trying!

I now have the 1.2.0 version of the Mi-2.

If I start a flight cold and dark in VR, I have to switch to flatscreen mode in order to remove the covers. Clicking on them in VR does nothing.

Even when starting in ‘Start flight without walkaround’ mode in VR, I have to exit the aircraft, go to flatscreen and remove the covers.

Sometimes the pitot tube cover and chocks are present, sometimes they’re not. Haven’t figured that one out.

VR pilots, if this problem affects you, a flatscreen walkaround should be the solution.
