**MCDesigns** · August 23rd, 2013, 17:53

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** · August 23rd, 2013, 21:17

Great! What a surprise!

But too many new addons for now

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...?

i will pick it up once i get time

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/en...reenshots.html ) look quite good...

Some comments at Hovercraft.

And I seem to be the only one that has encountered some specific issues with the vc as being discussed on the Nemeth 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.

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? :\

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.

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

***Daube*** · December 6th, 2013, 03:24

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** · December 6th, 2013, 06:47

realy enjoy the mi24

***WarHorse47*** · December 6th, 2013, 07:22

Nice video, Cirrus.

**YoYo** · December 6th, 2013, 15:55

Ok, the repaint is finished. Just need to do final zip file.

***ColoKent*** · December 8th, 2013, 17:21

...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...)

No, 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*** · December 8th, 2013, 17:56

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*** · December 8th, 2013, 18:15

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.
