Mil Mi-24V for FSX Released

[MCDesigns]

Just a heads up, Nemeths have released their Hind. Hopefully we can do without the usual Nemeth slagging from some

I think I will wait for recommendations first from you guys on this one. In the past I would have rushed to buy but............

Im looking forward more to the Alabeo R66

[YoYo]

Great! What a surprise! :applause:

But too many new addons for now ;).

[Naismith]

I like Nemeth.

It looks fantastic!

It goes on the 'shortlist' but that's getting longer and longer, and with the Milviz Stuka also out, the Virtavia B-29 not too far off and FtX Global being quite expensive...... :isadizzy:

How long can you survive on just old bread and water...?

[heywooood]

so far? about 2 months...but I could murder a cheeseburger right now

Any feedback on this copter ?
I've been waiting for a good FSX Mi-24 for ages, and Virtavia is not the kind of products I'm looking for. So what about this Nemeth ?
Is it realistic or is it one of these "default Bell-206 with different body shape" again ?
The screenshots of the cockpit (here: http://www.nemethdesigns.com/blog/entry/31-mil-mi24-development-screenshots.html ) look quite good...

And I seem to be the only one that has encountered some specific issues with the vc as being discussed on the Nemeth (http://aussiex.org/forum/index.php?/topic/18101-mi-24-hind-issues/) forums.

The cockpit is all in Russian which is realistic, but there are no tool tips so I'm finding it a real challenge to properly configure for flight. Overall, it's more complex than the Virtavia version (which is why we like Nemeth, right?), but in my opinion there is still some room for improvement.

I'm curious to see what others think or any issues they encounter.

[YoYo]

Ok, after this small patch for VC I back to Mi-24 and start to do the new real repaint. This is still Wip, based on Polish Mi-24W (V version) used now by Polish contingent in Afganistan. Default skins for me are to fresh and clear (but very like Paintkit by ND!) so I did big modification of weathering too and lines. Finished in near 70%. I hope will be soon.

why did they make the nav lights so big it clips the model? :\

[YoYo]

Yep, too big. Many models has this tendency (perhaps default lights from FSX). Always You can try to improve it by 3DLighs Redux.

I didn't see your answer back in August, sorry for that.
Thanks a lot for that link. It seems that Hind in interesting on the realism level, but not so usable due to the lack of tooltips in English...
And some people are getting artifacts.

[YoYo]

And some people are getting artifacts.

No, ND did small patch (in zip file). It is presents on his Forum now. Solved this problem (I had too this bug).

[Daube]

Ah, that sounds good :)
Thanks for this information. I think I'm going to take a look on their forums to learn more about this bird.

[Cirrus N210MS]

realy enjoy the mi24

...are they identical? I'm getting the impression it is a joint development.

If they are not identical, which is better? (I tend to like the max number of loadout options...)

KentNo, they are not identical nor are they a joint development. Just two different approaches to create the same helo.

Hard to say which is better. Both have their fine and not-so-fine points (IMO).

I like the Virtavia machine 'cause it's easier to start, has tool tips for gauges, and there are lots of repaints coming out. I like the Nemeth machine as its seems a little more realistic, more detail on the models and better sounds, and has some additional features and effects. Both has about the same number of animations.

Basically, I'm still going back and forth flying both to answer the same question you raised as to which is better. As for loadouts, there are 3 Virtavia models and only 2 Nemeth models if that answers your question.

[ColoKent]

Hmmm....sounds like an excuse to buy both! Here's a question-- it appears that the Virtavia version has an "empty" (nothing on the pylons) loadout. Does the Nemeth have that as one of it's two loadouts as well?

Kent

[WarHorse47]

Aaarrgg... I had to pull my Virtavia version out of the hangar to answer your questions.

No, the Virtavia version does not have a 'clean' model. All three models have different weapon loadouts. I also forgot to mention that the Virtavia version has a working HUD, VC Map (gps), and you can hide the crew. The Nemeth has none, other than a targeting reticle.

The Nemeth versions are clean and with loadout. No variations on loadouts.

[ColoKent]

Cool-- thanks WarHorse!

[ColoKent]

Bought the Nemeth Designs Mi-24, downloaded it (multiple times), and I keep getting install errors ("Install disk 1 of 5", "Unable to create destination folder", etc.). I forgot how fun their stuff can be to deal with-- I don't have the patience for it right now.

Off to Virtavia...

[WarHorse47]

Where did you purchase it?

I purchased mine from Nemeth and had no problems with the install. They sent me an e-mail with links to all the files which I downloaded into a folder. I extracted the install program from the zip file, and ran the installer without a hitch.

You'll enjoy the Virtavia version. After you fly the blades off, you'll be hungry to try the Nemeth one. Be advised that some of us had some "artifact" issues with the vc, and they have a patch available through their forum. Also, because they don't have any tool tips for the vc, it may have a steep learning curve on cold starts - but they do have a patch on their web site for converting the panel to English which makes things a little easier to figure out what the switches do.

[ColoKent]

I bought it from Nemeth...and I downloaded the zip file only (didn't download the .z files-- It looked to me like that was an alternate way to install if you didn't have WinZip-- did I mess up on that?).

When I try to install it, and it fails to start time after time.

I'll have to get with Aussiecop on it.

Kent

[WarHorse47]

It's been awhile since I installed mine. If I recall, I did the same as you and got nowhere. Only until I downloaded all the files into a temp folder, extracted and ran the installer did I get it installed. The readme file is somewhat vague.

[ColoKent]

Ah-ha...I'll try that tomorrow.

Thanks

Kent

[WarHorse47]

Kent?? How did things go??

[ColoKent]

....just got this thing installed (there was a thread about the same issue on the Nemeth forum, and I fixed it basically like you said-- extract the 7z folders).

All I can say is OMG-- this thing is VASTLY superior to the Virtavia model. Also, I did the Russian --> English panel conversion...very nice. Now off to find repaints~!

I think I will go off and try to find some Afghanistan scenery...

I typically have ZERO use for Russian birds, but this is just AWESOME.

Incredible-- thanks for your encouragement and help, WarHorse!!!
