zerO_crash Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 It seems like I cannot use parachute in the Mirage 2000 anymore. It isn`t rearming either... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Rlaxoxo Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 Yup parachute is broken for me as well it deploys then it vanishes [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Youtube Reddit
zerO_crash Posted July 14, 2016 Author Posted July 14, 2016 (edited) Hey guys, can I get a little more details on recreating this issue, was able to use parachute in 1.5.4 OB and Release. We have a fix in for the parachute rearming issue Hmm not sure if I can give you much info, as it was a very typical combat case, where I after the mission landed, pulled the handle, and no chute was to be seen (was looking in the mirror). Nothing special really, and wasn`t hit or anything of that sort either. It`s possible that as Rlaxoxo said it vanishes quickly, but even if it would be a graphics glitch, I maintain same speed.

Rlaxoxo Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 I'm using OpenBeta version Tho both version are the same atm but you never know [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Youtube Reddit
zerO_crash Posted July 14, 2016 Author Posted July 14, 2016 Well this I only experienced in Final [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Charly_Owl Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 Same here for me. Parachute broken too in 1.5.4 Open Beta. Chuck's DCS Tutorial Library Chuck's Guides on Mudspike Chuck's Youtube Channel Chuck's Patreon
zerO_crash Posted July 20, 2016 Author Posted July 20, 2016 Currently, not one single time has the chute worked for me in 1.5.4 final. Guess it shouldn`t be hard to identify. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
ZHeN Posted July 20, 2016 Posted July 20, 2016 my chute works perfectly in 1.5.4 haven't tried rearming it though [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Jugdriver Posted July 20, 2016 Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) Are you guys loading the Eclair Pod? If so that might be the problem. I have not flown without the Eclair pod (need the extra countermeasures!) so I have not tested the parachute without the Pod. http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2755450&postcount=3 JD AKA_MattE Edited July 20, 2016 by Jugdriver

If I understand correctly, you either have the ECLAIR pod installed or the drag chute; you can't be equipped with both. IIRC the procedure is simply to pull the brake chute handle aft... no?

Guess it was my fault there, did not know Eclair was replacing it. Not mentioned in the manual either. Well, good at least someone speaks french :smilewink: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

nomdeplume Posted October 3, 2016 Posted October 3, 2016 Can't get the drag chute to work properly in latest 1.5, sometimes it works sometimes not? what am I missing? If you have the Eclair pod loaded for extra countermeasures, it replaces the drag chute. If I recall correctly, the Eclair pod gives you 32 flares total, without it you would have 16. Also if you land, you'll need to re-arm to get a new chute.

Have no idea why it's happening, maybe the chute deploys & then gets dropped for some reason? i7 8700k@4.7, 1080ti, DDR4 32GB, 2x SSD , HD 2TB, W10, ASUS 27", TrackIr5, TMWH, X-56, GProR.

Any possibility it's being accidentally activated? It'll get ripped right off if it's deployed at speed, so maybe if things get hectic and you accidentally press the button or if there's additional bindings or a faulty controller which occasionally sends 'ghost' presses it could be deploying without you realising it?

Yes, I'm positive now it's the button on my throttle quadrant, since key press work every time.....strangely only 2000c don't like this button.
