About Mi-2 Hoplite
Main features
Model
We created an ultra-precise 3D model using laser scanning and photogrammetry. Textures, markings, and worn elements were rendered in 4K from thousands of reference photos. The exterior features over 6,000 accurately placed rivets, hatches, and fuselage components. The interior and cockpit were modeled with the same precision, featuring authentic scale divisions, text markings, and realistic glass reflections.
- Ultra-precise 3D model
- 4K high-resolution textures
- Thousands of reference photos
- More than 6,000 modeled rivets
- Authentically detailed interior
- Realistic cockpit instruments
Systems
The avionics and systems have been meticulously replicated to meet the highest flight simulation standards, offering a study-level model with a fully clickable cockpit, realistic systems, and authentic flight procedures. Additionally, the model includes a comprehensive user manual based on the official one, featuring detailed descriptions of flight procedures and real-life checklists for an immersive and authentic experience.
- A fully clickable cockpit
- Authentic avionics and systems
- Realistic flight procedures
- Study-level experience
- Comprehensive user manual
Visual Effects
We created impressive animations and visual effects, including the swash plate, rotor spin, and landing gear movement. Every cockpit switch and button is clickable, with animated instruments and authentic night lighting. Flight controls move realistically, and internal and external lamps have custom glows. Additionally, users can shoot signal flares and use smoke for aerobatics.
- Detailed rotor animations
- Animated cockpit controls
- Dynamic illumination
- Night lighting
- Dust and surface effects
- Rain and glass reflections
- Condition-based visual wear
- Signal rockets and aerobatic smoke
Flight Model
Flight model was implemented in accordance with Flight Manual specifications. Our coding team adopted the sim parameters bringing an authentic flight model to MSFS. Certain elements were made by a completely custom logic bypassing the standard sim capabilities, such as pitch control, separate engine control, autorotation and others. The horizontal stabilizer control, which is absent in MSFS, is also simulated. For maximum accuracy, the team worked with Mi-2 pilots for validated feedback.
- An authentic Flight Model
- Real-life Mi-2 pilots' feedback used
- Custom logic implemented
- Realistic torque response
- Weight and balance influence
- Autorotation behavior
Sounds
To provide authentic high quality sounds the team made exclusive professional audio records directly from the real Mi-2 board. The team worked on the ground and during the flight to make complete sound coverage. All animated components, systems, equipment and powerplant have comprehensive genuine sounds. Furthermore, all the sounds react to the user's position in relation to the audio source, taking into account the distance to the object.
- authentic high quality sounds
- professional audio records
- from a real Mi-2 helicopter board
- complete sound coverage
- distance effects based on the user's position.

PROTOTYPE HISTORY
The Mi-2’s legacy was built not on a single dramatic event, but on thousands of flights from routine work to demanding conditions that tested its endurance. As the years passed, it adapted to new missions and travelled far beyond the regions it was originally designed to serve.
Explore the key milestones that shaped the Mi-2’s remarkable journey — from its first flight to its enduring presence in aviation today.
