Kenta Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Last night I was flying on a server with an A-10C. I got shot by a strela and both of my engines died. I made a late turn towards land, so I landed about 50 meters off shore in water. What was shocking to me is that I actually did land, I didn't "blow up". Just wondering if this is a bug or are landings on water possible in DCS I did sink after landing though :) Failure is the mother of all success.

Badger1-1 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Why would it be a bug if you didn´t explode? It´s a bug if you do explode imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenta Posted April 24, 2014 Author Share Posted April 24, 2014 Why would it be a bug if you didn´t explode? It´s a bug if you do explode imho. Well, never thought landing on water might be modeled in DCS, that's why I'm a bit confused. Failure is the mother of all success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
159th_Falcon Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Not a bug, seen many planes land on water. Need a bit of luck though. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] The keeper of all mathematical knowledge and the oracle of flight modeling.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydost Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Well, never thought landing on water might be modeled in DCS, that's why I'm a bit confused. Neither did I. This gives hope. Now I'm just waiting for someone to make the first properly simulated seaplane ;) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arkroyale048 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I had my Ka-50 drop into the water as I was attempting to land on the kuznetsov (ran out of fuel). It floated for a while; afterwards it did sank. Irregular streamer: http://www.twitch.tv/arkroyale048/profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VincentLaw Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Neither did I. This gives hope. Now I'm just waiting for someone to make the first properly simulated seaplane ;) .Given enough time, this will happen. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganesh Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) Not a bug, seen many planes land on water. Need a bit of luck though. Cool, good to know!

Just wondering if this is a bug or are landings on water possible in DCS I did sink after landing though Any reports of landings more than 50meters off shore?

VincentLaw Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Cool, good to know! Any reports of landings more than 50meters off shore?DCS does not currently simulate the sea floor, so it is equally possible to land any distance off shore. It does simulate stream beds (at least for ground vehicles, but that may be built into the ground vehicle model). [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildBillKelsoe Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 we need an ACES 2 submodule for ejection AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharpeXB Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Can you use the ejection seat underwater? I read that's actually been done. i9-14900KS | ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z790 HERO | 64GB DDR5 5600MHz | iCUE H150i Liquid CPU Cooler | 24GB GeForce RTX 4090 | Windows 11 Home | 2TB Samsung 980 PRO NVMe | Corsair RM1000x | LG 48GQ900-B 4K OLED Monitor | CH Fighterstick | Ch Pro Throttle | CH Pro Pedals | TrackIR 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenta Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 Thanks for the video of that Mi-8 Mike. Still after all this time, I find something new about DCS that I really like. Thanks ED! :) Can you use the ejection seat underwater? I read that's actually been done. I didn't try it, but I think it should be possible. Go ahead and try and report your findings :) Failure is the mother of all success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see this as a big step towards DCS Mi-14 :music_whistling: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] -- "The three best things in life are a good landing, a good orgasm, and a good shit.
