Main Rotor Separation... sling load 128

[ENO]

Some feedback with associated files from one of my regulars testing out an issue we had earlier:

 

Eno,

 

I got into the test and on my first pick up I picked up a 1500 pounds with 50% fuel. Should be well inside the UH-1H parameters.

 

I picked up the load did a pedal turn and started gaining airspeed and Pop Pop Pop... the Main Rotor separated and I crashed.

 

Second attempt... I began to pull pitch the strap wasn't even tight yet and I start hearing pops the master caution light came on indicating the inverter was toast.. I did manage to get the load off the ground and circle the pattern... before I dropped it off... no other popping sounds were heard during the flight and no other damage was incurred.

 

In both situation I tried to type some text in so there was a log of when it happened. I also took some screen shots I will try to post them tomorrow.

 

I believe that presence of enemy on the map may have something to do with it. I would also like #### to try it when he gets on... and see if he has the same results.. if so then I think we need to try the same results with no red forces.

Eno,

 

We ran the mission tonight and I think Crowley made the vids posted below. I noticed you removed the enemy however we still had issues with crashing. Each time we lifed a load we would always crashed. I noticed the poping sound however the others indicated the load was thrashing wildly around my aircraft. I didn't make an sudden moves with the Aircraft so I don't know whats causing the wild load pendulum effect.

This is probably the same issue reported in this thread:

it looks like the sling loads aren't synced?

 

as in other people watching you,

When your aircraft flickered/warped due to lag it caused the sling load to go nuts on everyone else's screen and causes the issue with the rotors separating. (either because of the cable wrapping around the damage box, or something along those lines)

 

Every time it happens is right after a warp/flicker in which case the cargo load goes nuts because of the rapid movement of the warp.

I got on a server with another person who said they had yet to save their mission to 1.2.8.27203 it was still on version 1.2.8.27125. We did sling loads for almost 30 minutes without anyone having any issues. He then saved the same mission to 1.2.8.27203 and suddenly everyone started crashing because the loads were swinging excessively. I believe this may have something to do with the version... maybe a bug?

These loads are currently unusable in the latest version of MP at least in our experience on the firehouse server last night during the fly in.

Anyone know if this was ever addressed?

Experienced this again in 3 separate missions last night.
