MI28 Project

[zakopkan 10]

Yep, considering that Mi-28N is the serial production version of Mi-28, using the second, MFD-loaded version would be more accurate.

Mi-28N is not the serial production version of Mi-28. It is improved version.

Any update on this people? Maybe have a chat with the fokes at the digital combat simulator forums (guys from Black Shark). There are alot of aviator freaks and they can probably help you out better.

Yes it is. Mi-28 was approved for serial production in Mi-28N variation.

Currently there are around 60 in service, with plans for expanding the fleet to around 300 (70 on order for this year i believe).

Mi-28A is pretty much obsolete and is a dead project. Due to lack of funds in the '90s none were built besides test models/prototypes. Development cycle continued however.

There is a version without radar and FLIR which is called Mi-28D as well.

A little question popped up, while integrating the Ka50 indicators:

The top speed indication is 45... (also on the other opfor helicopters).

But which speed does is represent:

• 45 km/h
  
• 450 km/h
  
• 45 m/sec (=162 km/h)
  
• 45 mph (=72.6 km/h)
  

???

Guess it'd be 450km/h. Not that I think it can fly that fast without breaking, but since horizontal air speed is either calculated in kmh, mph or knots, I'd say that 450km/h is the closest to any possible speed.

I think russian aircrafts use metric system, so it should be 450 km/h.

[Defunkt 431]

Is it definitely the top speed? An airspeed indicator might start at 45 (knots).

[modemmaik 53]

OK, when adjusting the speed indicator, the needle starts to move when 30 km/h are topped, so I it is quiet OK. Thank you, guys :)

I plan to update the devheaven with the new version, so that somebody else can continue the work. So far the changelog looks like this:

// Changelist

// Added A1-config

// Replced rotor blur models / Added A1_ka50 blur texture

// Added pilot + gunner proxies to VisLODs plus fireGEO / Added missile proxies in first vis LOD

// Assigned textures

// Added Shadow LOD's + Hitpoints LOD

// Memory LOD added HUD

// Reassigned blur proxies location

// Fixed 2'nd VisLOD tailrotor assignment

// Added indicator animations to model.cfg

// fixed gunner and pilot fuselage structure (detected some viual gaps and added gunner floor faces)

// Fixed full damage material

// Readjusted Pilot's view flightstick

// Added halfdamage texture

// Added aft rotor rotation (plus special animation for shadow)

// Added 2'nd reflector

// added Glass hitpoints and corresponding fireLOD changes

// Added hiddenSelections (camo, camo_2)

// Removed rotors from camo-section (else the blur does not perform correct)

// Added glowing Ka50 based indicators (lowered spec value)

// Added basic HUD config

// Added wikipedia library text

// Changed glass to noShadow

//ToDo

// Replace the rotor texture with corresponding colors

// Add a ~100 points lowest LOD

// Add loaded missile proxy and alter the missile tubes (Tiger HOT style)

// Add motor / munice damage texture

// Alter mainrotor blurs RKSL style

// Improve the A2 config

//Issues

// Mainrotor indestructible

Thanks to the excellent job by modEmMaik, we are looking into a first test version

release very soon.

I'd be nice to get a promo video done.

If you are interested or know someone who is, please contact us!

Are you guys adding flare countermeasures to it?

[.kju 3244]

First version is out. Kudos to everyone involved!

Please copy your cockpit materials to our project space.

Mi-28 is coming along nicely. The tailrotor blades do not counter-rotate. They should both rotate in the same direction (like AH-64). Trying to find a descent close-up of tailrotors.

Edit: Found a good close up of tailrotor. http://data3.primeportal.net/hangar/makarov_aleksey/mi-28/images/mi-28_14_of_24.jpg

Found descent picture

[modemmaik 53]

Thanks GD_Mast. I have just corrected the rotors (plus spin direction). :)

Glad I could help. :) Here's a nice site with some good photos (same one that I got the tailrotor shot). http://www.primeportal.net/hangar/makarov_aleksey/mi-28/ Here's some more reference photos for you. http://jetphotos.net/showphotos.php?aircraft=Mil Mi-28N Havoc, http://www.airliners.net/search/photo.search?aircraftsearch=Mil%20Mi-28N&distinct_entry=true Here's a video that I haven't seen before, get to see the start-up. http://technorati.com/videos/youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D33yRJqyKPuo

I just looked at my previous post and realize that I should've said the tailrotor blades should all rotate/spin in the same direction... not (The tailrotor blades do not counter-rotate). My bad. From the picture that I provided, all 4 tailrotor blades should rotate counter-clockwise. I just wanted to clear that up.:o
