This is an addon of Mil Mi-6A "Hook" - single-rotor turboshaft powered dual-engine heavy transport helicopter from late 50s for the computer game ArmA 2. This mod is being released as a BETA for community testing and development. The project has been made through convertion of model of Mi-6A made for FS2004 by Vladimir Zchigulinskyi. I made it because I thought that there is a gap among addons to fill (apart of Mi-26 by mukcep which was an addon made for Arma).

- cargo operation allowing to lash/release as much vehicles as can fit into cargo compartment

- custom sound

- deployable landing lights

- animation of cargo doors, ramp, landing lights, fuselage shaking during flight

- cargo vehicles can get damage if you spot enemy fire

You are welcome :) There is a one particular CCCP AF livery which should fit to Afghan-Russian war era. Beside that fact, paint kit is available at avsim.ru and you can make and apply a your own one using setObjectTexture command.

Yeap, you are right gentlemen! Files on armaholic are removed and the one on sendspace was converted into sh...t by somebody. File uploaded on sendspace was clean and checked, no installer, its correct name was mi6package.rar and size 35,8 MB. I will reupload it again today.

EDIT: Link on sendspace has been fixed and it is working now.

And now I'm receiving an error about lack of mi6_maxengine.sqf?

Regarding missing .paa file - this one is correct and will be fixed in next release. It refers to missing texture map being seeing while looking at the heli through thermal sights.

Also error about lack of sqf file is correct however I cannot find a real reason because fuselage vibration effect IS working on addon so we shouldn't get this particular error.

Remember, it is still beta.

XD Fox. A friend of mine was flying one of these and I pulled an M14 out of a vehicle and put a spread into his cockpit, yet he survived... He didn't survive the CTWS Ammo in my Warrior, rapid fire doing enough damage to destroy a hummer in one shot.

Please make CDF and CHDKZ textures for this chopper!)

That's the plan, Fulcrum, however I am not in possession of paint kit of the chopper so it might be difficult a bit :) Please, wait for next release of the addon.

I am glad you like it and sorry to say that but I have already abandoned the idea as I though that it would be quite irrelevant to transport 90+ AIs / players in one helicopter in MP/SP environment, especially since it hasn't got any self-defense measures. There are enough other rotary-wing aircraft of east side available to transport soldiers into a combat zone, ie. Mi-2 "Hoplite", Mi-8/17 "Hip", Mi-26 "Halo" to type just a few from among all existed. Perhaps, the UNS dev team could make the passenger version for Viet forces but you would need to wait for the 2.6 release to check it ;)
