Mi 24 Hind D
  			      *	* * * * * * *


	Fat, ugly and bad, this russian attack/transport helicopter is also called the "devil's waggon", a name which was probably suggested by his big firepower and horrible look.

This flying tank was designed for having a double usage: transporting 8 soldiers to the battlefield, and having first class-attack capability: a Huey and an Apache mixed together in only one machine, which has never need for armed escort!

VERSION 2 ADDS TRANSPARENT ROTORS THANKS TO ALEXANDER REMUS!

Model specs:

-Navlights
-strobes
-retr. landing gear
-No still standing rotors have been added, since fs98 doesn't show them at  all, excepted by aircraft selection window, (Didn't have any parts to waist! ;-) )
-Virtual cockpit is provided!
-Flight model isn't as accurate as it should be, as i can't find the way to make weight/power changes thru ADE effective in the heli flight model. If someone has any suggestion, i'm here, waiting for you to write!
-The panel was made by David Giles (thank you), and even if its disaccording with the real thing (the Hind is an all analog cockpit oldy) it's always better than a jetranger panel!
-The sound was made by Ian Standfast, my preferred designer: Tank you!
-VERSION 2: TRANSPARENT ROTORS!
