-----------------------------

Note: Only tested with Combined Operations (ArmA 2 + OA)

This pack adds seven retextured Mi-8/17 and five pilots to the game. It includes five "hush hush" Mi-8 helicopters in diffrent paint shemes that look close to ones seen at various "hotspots" around the globe and five diffrent looking types of pilots. It also includes a Takistan Guerilla Mi-8 and a Czech Mi-17 both with the standard units as pilots. The textures of the Czech Mi-17 were laying around unused in the BIS files.

I've not experienced any problems but I'm not sure about the signing. Any kind of feedback would be welcome.

Nice work dude! I am not a big fan of reskins but these are great. Like the pilot skins they rock. Might send you a p/m asking for permission to use gray texture for jet pilots I am working on.

These actually look really good. I'll have to download this and check it out.

Looks great!

Is there any chance for version without back doors? You could use A1 MLOD...

Thanks for the comments and links!

I know exactly what you mean. I'd really like to have the back doors removed and some armor plates, winch, countermeasures, diffusors, aux tanks, new weapons etc. added but I'm not sure if it's worth the effort. Besides that I'm not very proficient in modelling and don't know if there would be problems with creating the TI textures and so on.

Btw, here are some fotos of the "special" ones I used as samples for the retextures.

Very nice job Plague, good additions to all of the sides, especially for the PMCs which are lacking some must-have vehicles (some Grizzly like APC/MRAP for example).

I'd say if you're not into model making, I agree with you that A1 mlods wouldn't worth to throw out a Mi-8 without back door, also with the current game possibilities it wouldn't add any benefit, only a visual feature.

Thank you for this work of yours.
