Reflected Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 Do power lines have collision models? Sometimes I seem to be able to fly through them intact, sometimes I get damaged. Not really sure.

razo+r Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 in 1.5 you can fly through them in 2.0 you will most likely die Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oceandar Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 You'll be instantly slam to the ground in KA-50 while in the jet (FC3) mostly you'd be fine (in DCS 1.5) Mastering others is strength. Mastering yourself is true power. - Lao Tze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bolek Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 In my experience in 1.5 helicopters are affected by power lines (rotor gets tangled up) but fixed wing aircraft are not. This is for the wires themselves, masts are always a collision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shagrat Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Depends on speed, angle etc. Helicopters usually die, Jets often cut / rip of the wires. If you look in external view, you can see the missing wire(s). In FC2 (yes effect is that old) you had even the wires lying on the ground... ;) Shagrat - Flying Sims since 1984 - Win 10 | i5 10600K@4.1GHz | 64GB | GeForce RTX 3090 - Asus VG34VQL1B | TrackIR5 | Simshaker & Jetseat | VPForce Rhino Base & VIRPIL T50 CM2 Stick on 200mm curved extension | VIRPIL T50 CM2 Throttle | VPC Rotor TCS Plus/Apache64 Grip | MFG Crosswind Rudder Pedals | WW Top Gun MIP | a hand made AHCP | 2x Elgato StreamDeck (Buttons galore) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flagrum Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 I remember discussions about working cable cutters on helos. You may want to search for that topic. I started started that thread in the SA342 forum regarding the wire cutters. :-) Conclusion was, you have to hit the wires so that the cable cutter can cut the cable. Otherwise the cable cuts you ... (i.e. yes, wires are modelled and wire cutters as well). Even fixed wing aircraft are affected - but they usually win against the wires (at least my experience). But you can notice a slight shudder in, for example, the A-10. In faster jets might not be noticeable at all, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FragBum Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 Yes in 2.0 you get see blue flashes and you may or may not die. :music_whistling: Control is an illusion which usually shatters at the least expected moment. Gazelle Mini-gun version is endorphins with rotors. See above.
