Mil Mi-2 from Mins updated to X-Plane 11
Credits:
- Sergei Mironov for the original model
- @nicolas for let me release this update
- big thanks to my friend @nhadrian, who is helping me a lot! don't forget to check out his Cessna 152 modification!
- Joe Kipfer (SimVRLabs) for VR configs
- Roland for his continous help with technical datas and with testing
- Maelle Keita for Ruskof font (used in the configuration window)
If you would like to donate you can by PayPal, or you can buy me a cofféé, thanks! 
A big thank you to helisimmer for supporting our beloved helos and our sims for helicopters!
IMPORTANT:
When I added AviTab, I forgot to remove the Cockpit_3D folder, rename or remove it as it is not in use, and if the folders is there, compass will not work!
Its removed since 1.0.2, you may have it if you simply overwrite existing files when updating.
Updates:
1.12
- Small fixes (the helo wont blown in mid-air)
- Wearable sunglasses added
- Librain updated to VR compatible version
1.11
- FD tweaks
- Optional autopilot
1.10.1 - Librain initialization hotfix - using find_path function from Zibo's script to set the Mi-2's folder
1.10 - Let It Rain!
-
Librain implementation
- Big thanks to Totoritko for this great plugin, thanks to @nhadrian and @ksgy for the tips and a lot of thanks to @Zlin142 for the wiper animation!
-
At the moment librain only supports circular wiping, Totoritko already working on linear wiping so after he will be ready with it,
I will change the wiping parameter to it
1.0.9 - X-Plane 11.30 particles
- Engine haze effects now using the particles coming with X-Plane 11.30
- Sprinklers particles was added by NHAdrian, thanks!
- Real manuals added into "Manuals" folder, manuals can be viewed with AviTab
1.0.8.1 - The VR update
-
Thanks to Joe from SimVRlabs, files are included for VR pilots. If you fly in VR just unzip the file in "VR files from SimVRLabs" into
the the main directory of the Mi-2 (overwrite existing files). You can use it in non VR also, the 3 way switches were modified to VR, not comfortable in non VR.
SimVRlabs changelog (included in the zip file):
Added mesh for barometer/altimeter knob (previously not useable in VR)
Added mesh for clickspot at the tip of the barometer/altimeter knob, to reset to 29.92 in hg (previously not useable in VR)
Added meshes for com1 knobs, Mhz and khz (previously not useable in VR)
Added mesh toward base of collective handle for throttle (now you can roll throttle on and off with a twist of the wrist, as you really would...no more F1/F2
)
Added mesh for collective, tuned the dataref range for 0.1 to 12.5 (this is stable and does well.)
Flipped normals and resized meshes for yoke stick and collective, to give nice green outline around texture, but not cover the texture.
Changed 3 way switches from drag_axis to axis_switch_up_down for best VR useability
Added Teleport Hotpots to all seats
Tuned all knobs and 3 way switches for speed in the VRconfig -
New ultra realistic physical model - for the air refreshener
1.0.8
- Script crash fix, it will not crash if AviTab is not installed
- Irrigation system (thanks for the 3D modell to @Zlin142)
- Sprayer system included with written permission from Dan Klaue and Alabeo (thank you guys!)
-
You can personalize the cockpit with your own photos, put your photo into the included photo frame and use it in the cockpit
PSD is in Mi-2\objects\Pictureframe_s.psd, put your photo on it, export it as a png in Objects folder (Mi-2\objects\Pictureframe_s.png) - Wunderbaum air freshener for your pleasure - click on the center of the fan on the dasboard to equip it (from the An-2 by @ksgy, thanks!)
- Optimizations
- Minor tweaks in script files
- 2 slungload objects added, a Bambi Bucket (by jokohama) and a caged Cherno Deer (the deer came from @monoblau's laboratory, thanks! :))
- This version was built with Plane Maker for X-Plane 11.26, it was planned to update it to Plane Maker version 11.30, but has lot of issues, hopefully in next release
1.0.7
- Heat haze reposition at engine 1
- Some ACF tweaks (now she flies a bit easier, not that sensitive)
- Transmission losses changed
- Transponder
- Configuration window (it is accessible via the CNF button on the transponder)
1.0.6:
- No more seperate ACF files, both ACF is the same, AviTab can be turned on/off above the RW3 light indicator
- Rain effect by Virtual Arantis Airways ported from the C172 to the Mi-2, no animations just rain droplets on glasses (it can be turned on/off, click on the centre of the ventilator on your dash)
- Visible GPU (when battery switch is on external power and on ground)
- Some ACF modifications - limits, sling load max weight, etc.
- New updated manual for the X-Plane 11 version (thanks to Roland!)
- Pilot on board (used x-plane.fr's pilot collection)
- Sling load (there is a loadable object in the slungloads folder, you can use existing load from Bell 407 or 412 for example)
- Rotor blur transparency finally fixed, a script switches an external and an internal rotor, no more blue borders around rotor blades
1.0.5:
- Thanks to NHAdrian and Joe Kipfer (SimVRLabs) VR manipulators and config, stick, throttle, collective now stick to the VR controller
- External tanks now only shown if you tank more than 600kgs of fuel, if in-air fuel goes below 600 tanks won't fall off, you have to land to remove the tanks
- Pilot's Operation Handbook and Maintenance Handbook added (in manuals folder as pdf files), you can read them in AviTab at Plane Manual
1.0.4:
- xPad added to VR users, you can find it below the centre console (thanks to Fergus Moloney)
- Ground Service / loadout picture a little bit clarified (thanks to Roland)
1.0.3:
- small fixes (compass, manipulators, added a missing wav file)
- heat haze at engines (more eyecandy)
1.0.2:
- several fixes (mostly textures)
- AviTab version fixed (right panel has missing texture)
- static texture based reflections removed, added full dynamic reflections to glass surfaces (cockpit, instruments, etc)
- NML textures
- interior panel instruments lighting temporary workaround: turn on the red light switches at the right panel and twist the overhead light knobs, this will light up the instruments with a red lighting.
1.0.1:
- ACF file converted from XPL9 to (XP10 then to) XPL11
- Added an AviTab version
- Small tweaks
1.0.0:
First release
Known issues:
- DO NOT use physical throttle axis otherwise you will have problems (eg. don't assign an axis to it), it won't work, you can't use throttle axis at the moment. For throttle use F1 and F2
- Interior lighting doesn't work (driven by an encrypted plugin, will be tricky to fix it without the plugin sources) - See workaround above
- Some manipulators are real pain to switch
-
Sometimes the little compass on the left side disappears- Fixed -
AviTab version has some texturing problems in the cockpit- Fixed -
Aircraft configuration window barely works- was my fault
