    "description": "The Mi-2 helicopter is an outstanding example of Soviet design. Produced in Poland in a variety of modifications, it found popularity in many countries due to its multifunctionality and unique style. This meticulously built study-level model is the result of countless hours of research and development by multi-talented team of professionals.\n\nCUSTOM FEATURES THAT REPEAT ACTUAL REAL-LIFE HELICOPTER BEHAVIOR\n\nHelicopter systems\n\nElectrical system that accounts for all loads of DC and AC consumers, current, resistance and voltage; load on the batteries, their discharge and charging; realistic behavior of generators when distributing load between them; realistic behavior of converters and their consumers\n\nPneumatic system maintains a constant air pressure in the brake system using a compressor installed on the engine, has an air flow rate and is necessary for the operation of the helicopter brake system\n\nFuel system accounts for fuel consumption at different engine modes; fuel quantity indicator accounts for the position of the helicopter in space (roll, pitch) repeating the position of fuel in the tank\n\nHydraulic system accounts for pressure, temperature, the amount of hydraulic fluid depending on loads and the state of the atmosphere\n\nOil system accounts for pressure, temperature, the amount of oil, depending on the operating modes of the engines and the state of the atmosphere\n\nFire extinguishing system, including system monitoring and control\n\nHeating and anti-icing systems allow to monitor the condition of the icing of the helicopter and control the heating of the blades and windows of the helicopter depending on the state of the environment\n\nLighting equipment depends on the state of the helicopter electrical system\n\nHelicopter control\n\nThe interaction of the helicopter control knobs fully corresponds to the actual position of the blade angle in different flight modes\n\nTrimming system allows you to balance the helicopter in a stable position\n\nEngines control\n\nImplementation of motor control, including separate control\n\nEngine starting system accounts for the load on the electrical system at the time of starting, the state of the atmosphere and the state of the liquids required for the operation of the engines\n\nKinematics of combined control unit of engines RPM and propeller pitch that allows to perform all checks, including engines run-up in accordance with the manual\n\nInstruments\n\nAviation clock with second meter repeats the actual behavior of the watch, including all operating modes\n\nGyrohorizons have realistic behavior of gyromechanism, including its spin-up and shutdown\n\nAnaeroid tubes allows realistic behavior of instruments that use them, including the influence of incoming flow and atmospheric pressure\n\nDevices operating from electric current account for inertia and friction force of needle indicators\n\nRadio altimeter accounts for slaving and adjustment\n\nRotor pitch indicator with realistic behavior during power loss\n\nAirspeed indicator with response to wind, airflow and direction effects implemented\n\nInteractive cockpit controls\n\nThe mechanical and kinematic behavior of cockpit controls were modeled right up to simulating the operation of the toggle switch spring\n\nSwitches respond to mouse wheel input\n\nNavigation\n\nADF allows to navigate by beacons and indicates the magnetic course of the helicopter; this system also implements a simulation of the gyro-magnetic compass operation with a simulation of real slaving\n\nRadio\n\nRadio unit allows radio communication with ATC at the selected frequency\n\nIntercom allows to select various listening modes, including ADF signals\n\nPhysics and effects\n\nAtmospheric precipitation realistically displayed on the surface of the windows of the helicopter along with the effect of icing on windows\n\nFiring signal rockets and smoke generator realized\n\nFlight model accounts for realistic location of the center of gravity, as well as its influence on the control of the helicopter\n\nSwitching from asymmetric to straight airflow and vice versa causes natural vibration\n\nNatural deflection of the blades as reaction to the wind in an idle state, the cone of rotating blades changes its size depending on the load on the main rotor\n\nDoors\n\nCabin doors fully implemented with individual mechanics for each door\n\nInteractive opening by dragging the handle with inertia response\n\nReact to helicopter flight dynamics: pitch, acceleration/deceleration, roll, yaw\n\nDoors may partially open or close in flight if not properly secured\n\nGAMEPLAY INSTRUCTIONS\n\nVHF allows you to adjust ATC frequencies in multiples of 0.25\n\nManipulators: combine two modes of interaction:\n\nMouse wheel - instantaneous state switching\n\nLeft mouse button + movement - realistic state switching\n\nVR - fully adapted, including control of the longitudinal and transverse control knob by moving the controller\n\nThe model includes the ability to automatically start and turn off the helicopter with the preparation of systems in the correct sequence through simulator commands\n\nTo facilitate control, some controls are connected to simulator commands (see manual list)\n\nWhen controlling the watch, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the instructions, since due to the complexity of the implementation, combined control of the manipulators was used\n\nDue to the realistic implementation of the electrical system and the load on the batteries at the time of starting, the battery charge is enough for 5-6 unsuccessful starts. Due to the fact that it is not possible to replace the battery, the model must be restarted to reset the state of the batteries\n\nThe altimeter has realistic control of the pressure setting handle, which has a reverse direction of rotation (rotation to the right reduces the barometric height, while rotation to the left increases it)\n\nTo remove the helicopter from the parking brake, press the latch on the helicopter control stick or use the simulator command\n\nThe nose steering wheel is made in accordance with a realistic model, and is free castoring (not directly related to the position of the pedals)\n\nDue to the realism of helicopter centering, restrictions on helicopter centering and loading should be complied with\n\nFor correct display of the helicopter heading on the UGR-4UK device in 3.5 min after starting the helicopter and starting all systems, it is necessary to slave the heading system by pressing the «СОГЛАСОВАНО» button\n\nFor toggle switches with more than 3 positions, to move the toggle switch in the required direction, use manipulator located in the direction of toggle switch movement (wiper toggle switch, АКК/ГЕНЕРАТОР toggle switch)\n\nDue to the custom implementation of all systems, we do not recommend using default simulator failures\n\nAudio and Immersion\n\nWwise fully dynamic sound pack\n\nSound of engines, systems and other controls",
