- electric supplies // every electric device consumes some amount of power, calculations of power supplies makes possible of electric system overload; electric system has five different currencies, some currencies can be supplied with different power source - main/auxiliary/emergency, but not all devices will work with emergency supply; batteries has limited capacity, batteries discharging and recharging;
- pop-up messages with names and hints for interactive objects // credits: had to steal a lot of unfamiliar english words from Nemeth Designs's Mi-24 manual, thanks to them

- navigation systems // default radio compass ARK-15M very simplified due to lack of non-directional beacons, radio compass ARK-U2 is used only for rescue missions so useless right now; two gyros are separated and any can be used like main gyro in case of damage of other; radio altimeter has safe-altitude mark, also radio altimeter loose it's accuracy if pitch and roll angles more than 5 degrees; DISS (Doppler measuring device of speed and drift angle) includes current hovering indicator (active if forward speed less than 50 km/h) and drift meter (speed more than 50 km/h), new distance counters and map panel that uses topographic map instead of geographic, has two scales 1:200 000 and 1: 1 000 000, DISS has different modes for unusual conditions (sea/land for type of surface, memory/operate if pitch and roll more or less than 30 degrees), several test modes; new PKP-72M and UKT-2 (attitude indicators) models, behavior was taken from this video, test modes and correction available
