Adaptation for IL-2:
3d work: Wasted
Flight Model: Vega and Wasted
Java Work: Vega and Wasted
Advice and Ideas: SAS~S3

Big Thanks to SAS~Storebror, GJE52 and Loku for advice and help.

Features used from other mods:
"Ground Effect" by checkyersix from huey by FM
Sounds from huey by FM
DSHK 3d model by Wolfighter (Not sure, who made it. it was by default in DBW)

This mod was made and tested on DBW 1.7 installation (Jet War 1.2) along with latest AI Engine Mod 2.6. Also you will need L-159G by GJE52.

It includes Flyable version, AI version and stationary object.

Important Notes:
Rotor Tilt (idea by SAS~S3): now, like in RL you have your rotor moving along with your ciclic. You can both see and feel the effect. The rotor mesh will be moving when you look at it from external. But the main feature is actual behavior changes. Now you don't need to pitch down that much to fly forward and it helps you to hover better and it also allows you to make something like Flare Landing.

Fixed Flight Model: Vega and me were working for some time to fix verious problems with heli flight model and seems result is more or less better then before. Fixed problems with backflipping at take off. So now you can hit 100% throttle if you need to. Hover behavior is also improved and now it is much easier. Fixed the very annoying bug, when your aircraft would suddenly start falling to one side. And there alot of other various little fixes here and there.

edit: if you are having difficulty getting the static version to display, the fix is described here: https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php/topic,32834.msg352356.html#msg352356

Hope you enjoy!

Test flew it & flies beautyfully !... As a helicopter should !... Hovers still & stable & you can take off or land vertically
Very Good job Wasted & everybody involved ! Though I like very much the way Huey flies & it;s special handling features,
this one is more close to real helicopter flying characteristics...
Thank's

Hi Wasted,

Finally nice to see this Hip po for general release 

UN skin is quite different.

It will fit quite well with the up and coming Soviet aircraft.

Used in Angola too 

Thanks for the great effort

My AV software (NOD32) detects some adware/malware (Win32/InstalleRex.E.Gen) when trying to download this... Can you explain that?

Sounds great, but I don't advise trying it until this issue is checked. Sorry if this sounds rude but if it's a virus, than it may cause a serious problem to other users.

[SAS~Malone]

scanned with my av(avast) - no virus.
your call, though, at the end of the day.

The archive is really suspicious! 
This is an executable that tries to load :
- Mi-8_V1.0.rar.exe
- 280Ko
- host : fastfileftp.info

Meanwhile, the download page to change!

A second attempt... income that is correct !
Now is correct page and d/l !!

[SAS~Malone]

my download is a rar archive; Mi-8_V1.0.rar (92.71MB)......no exe's anywhere in sight...? ???
