Wrong MI-8 Configuration.
Acknowledged, NormalPublic

Description

In real life MI-8 can do horizontal take-off and taxiing when heavy loaded. However in game its impossible to drive forward without taking off.
I see 2 possible reasons to this.

  1. Rear suspension is too soft, which makes going forward impossible.
  2. Angle limits on main rotor are wrong.

Here is a video of real mi-8 taxiing forward.

Event Timeline

Because we have control over the wheel brakes and the ability to lock them my thought was if you just unlock the wheel brakes and angle the main rotor just with 'W'/Pitch Down then it would taxi without applying any collective. But it seems to not be the case.
