## About This Content
DCS: Mi-8MTV2 Magnificent Eight is a highly realistic PC simulation of the
Mi-8MTV2, a combat transport and fire support helicopter and an upgraded
variant of one of the most widely produced helicopters in the world – the
Russian Mi-8 (NATO reporting name ‘Hip’). Having serving in over 50 countries
in a wide variety of models over the past 40 years, the Mi-8 is a revered
veteran of countless military operations and civilian services around the
world. Developed by Belsimtek and Eagle Dynamics, the team behind the hit
title DCS: UH-1H Huey, DCS Mi-8MTV2 continues to deliver exceptional realism
and immersive gameplay within the DCS World virtual battlefield.

The simulation features accurate modeling of all primary aircraft systems,
avionics, and proper functionality of nearly all cockpit switches and
controls. Flight and other dynamics are modeled using real-time physics
calculations and carefully tuned using actual Mi-8MTV2 documentation and
pilots deeply involved in development and testing. The result is not only the
most realistic Mi-8 reproduction on the PC, but a comprehensive helicopter
model that correctly presents complex dynamic effects particular to helicopter
flight, such as: autorotation, vortex ring state (VRS), translational lift,
hover in and out of ground effect, and many others.

As part of the DCS World battlefield, you are placed in the cockpit of the
Mi-8MTV2 to fly combat transport and support missions as the left pilot, right
pilot or gunner. Equipped for close fire support, the helicopter can be armed
with unguided rockets, gun pods, and on-board machine guns. In the transport
role, a cargo of up to four tons can be carried internally or three tons on an
external sling system to deliver and retrieve supplies in a wide variety of
terrain and weather conditions. A series of single missions and a handcrafted,
immersive campaign plunge you into the heat of battle in the DCS World
battlefield of countless AI and a variety of player-controlled fighter and
attack aircraft, helicopters, and ground units. Get online to play with or
against other DCS players in a synthetic online battlefield.

A quickstart guide and interactive training help you get started quickly while
the comprehensive Flight Manual details the helicopter’s systems and
operational procedures. A wide variety of gameplay options allows each player
to tailor their difficulty level as required.
