sondo214 Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 There are plenty of failures currently implemented and a great Thank you to the Developers for that! My question is if a tail rotor/shaft failure is in WIP? I beleive that many of us whould like to experience/train on this kind of failure which is one of the most (if not the most) difficult to cope with failure in RL. Thanks
dahui Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 you can train that... give a little bit right pedal and leave it there ;)
sondo214 Posted May 12, 2014 Author Posted May 12, 2014 How much right pedal? Where are 0 degrees AOA of the T/R? This answer is the same as for example how can you have engine failure? Shut off the engine! Right...
cichlidfan Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Just slam the tail into a building as you fly by, that should provide a decent failure simulation. ;) ASUS ROG Maximus VIII Hero, i7-6700K, Noctua NH-D14 Cooler, Crucial 32GB DDR4 2133, Samsung 950 Pro NVMe 256GB, Samsung EVO 250GB & 500GB SSD, 2TB Caviar Black, Zotac GTX 1080 AMP!

sondo214 Posted May 12, 2014 Author Posted May 12, 2014 Another smart answer anyone? We are having a contest here!

Grim_Smiles Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Another smart answer anyone? We are having a contest here! Unfortunately I think joking answers are the only ones that can be given, I don't think we'll get any dev input on this (I would like to be wrong on that belief). Hopefully we can have all possible failures simulated, we will have to see. But I don't think anyone here is trying to insult you, they are just joking around.

sondo214 Posted May 12, 2014 Author Posted May 12, 2014 Ok, I will post it at the wishlist section. Maybe Dev's look that thread from time to time?
ED Team cofcorpse Posted May 12, 2014 ED Team Posted May 12, 2014 Does this failure occur IRL often? We have such battle damage
sondo214 Posted May 12, 2014 Author Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) I wouldn't say that it occurs often in RL (though if you search youtube for heli tail rotor failure you get such videos happening all of a suddent in some cases...), I just say that as we have a list of failures in the mission editor that we can choose from to 'make them happen' in flight it would be nice that to be added too. I beleive that it isn't something difficult to add as it is already modeled as a combat damage! Just to add the choise in failures list in the mission editor! Edited May 12, 2014 by sondo214
ED Team cofcorpse Posted May 12, 2014 ED Team Posted May 12, 2014 Hm, interesting idea. I'll try to discuss it with colleagues
sondo214 Posted May 12, 2014 Author Posted May 12, 2014 Hm, interesting idea. I'll try to discuss it with colleagues Thanks!
doright Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 Hm, interesting idea. I'll try to discuss it with colleagues Great! I really like having missions with a chance of main driveshaft failure at a random time. Really adds the realism of constantly thinking about wind direction and landing spots. Always wondered why tail rotor driveshaft failure wasn't also selectable. Those chip detectors must be there for a reason.

msalama Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 A Shilka shot my tail rotor driveshaft to pieces a couple of months ago and the rotor stopped as a result too, so yeah, it's modelled in v1.2.7 already. Wish I had a screenshot and/or a track to prove this, but didn't think of saving either when it happened. I was surprised though it has to be said :) The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.

I was surprised though it has to be said :) That's why I beleive that's not that difficult just to list it among the other choosable failures in the mission editor. The programming and coding already exists...
ShuRugal Posted May 12, 2014 Posted May 12, 2014 plug in a USB keyboard and have your buddy hold 'x' at random intervals in flight.
sondo214 Posted May 12, 2014 Author Posted May 12, 2014 (edited) plug in a USB keyboard and have your buddy hold 'x' at random intervals in flight. Why hadn't I thought that... shall it be a wired or a wireless one? Can't decide... Please advice Edited May 12, 2014 by sondo214 1
thrawn Posted May 13, 2014 Posted May 13, 2014 obviously it should be a wireless keyboard and you should get your friend/wife to do it from another room

Buznee Posted May 14, 2014 Posted May 14, 2014 +1 on this. Tail drive failure and tail pitch control failure (control cable breaks) would be great too.
Menessis Posted May 17, 2014 Posted May 17, 2014 I wonder if it could be controlled via a script?? Menessis
sondo214 Posted May 17, 2014 Author Posted May 17, 2014 I do not know how to do that, I imagine that is possible too, but why not add it to the list with the other failures? I beleive that is easier!
