Muddy17 Posted April 8, 2017 Posted April 8, 2017 (edited) Has there been a change in the operation of the drag chute? I have recently been having trouble deploying said chute. Not this patch but maybe the batch before as I've had to travel for a little while now And yes I'm managing my air in my brakes and landing gear correctly Edited April 8, 2017 by Muddy17 Wrong title
simapajik Posted April 8, 2017 Posted April 8, 2017 Has there been a change in the operation of the drag chute? I have recently been having trouble deploying said chute. Not this patch but maybe the batch before as I've had to travel for a little while now And yes I'm managing my air in my brakes and landing gear correctly Yes flight dynamics model / braking parachute is a little different than previous versions. Maybe that will change. Otherwise, this module MiG-21bis can blow parachute just before touching the runway. Developers really cool job. Hopefully the fix. :thumbup: [YOUTUBE] [YOUTUBE] <White Tiger> [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
portman Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 Hmmm.... am I the only one that has difficulties to disconnect the chute after landing?! Neither the push button nor the key shortcut does it. Mancher zum Meister sich erklärt, dem nie das Handwerk ward gelehrt!
Reflected Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 Since the latest update it doesn't seem to deploy. My throttle is all the way back... Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord

Spectrum Legacy Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 No problem for me so far regarding the deploying nor disconnecting the chute (worked every single time so far, with the exception of combat damage). However I've deleted the mig 21 input/config file and let dcs rebuild it from scratch after the update (since I haven't flown dcs for a long time and sometimes those config files acts weird if you skip too many updates and something changed in between).

Golo Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 Works fine for me, both deploying and disconnecting. And deploying in air too, which is awesome. Remember that the disconnect button is guarded by cover, you have to lift it up fist to use disconnect button.
Reflected Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 Is the plane equipped with it by default or do you have to select it, like missiles and flares? Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord
Golo Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 (edited) To my knowledge it is always equipped with chute. And if you use it, it gets re-equipped if you do a rearm. Edited April 10, 2017 by Golo
razo+r Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 make sure you still have air to deploy the chute...
Ce_Zeta Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 Is the plane equipped with it by default or do you have to select it, like missiles and flares? By default. If you deployed in air your chute...you are in a big trouble 'cause stop in the runway without the chute is very hard (maybe impossible). [sIGPIC]http://i.imgur.com/YexElgV.jpg[/sIGPIC]
Reflected Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 make sure you still have air to deploy the chute... What exactly do you mean by that? Like the air for the brakes? Facebook Instagram YouTube Discord
razo+r Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 What exactly do you mean by that? Like the air for the brakes? exactly this air used for the brakes
Golo Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 The drag chute fairing doors and chute release is operated by main pneumatic system. Main pneumatic system is also used to L/G brakes among other things, so if you use all of available air from main system - no chute deployment. So keep your L/G handle in neutral position in flight. But for L/G braking you can also use emergency pneumatic system via the red pull rod handle on the left side of instrument panel so you are not totally brakeless.

Golo Posted April 10, 2017 Posted April 10, 2017 I forgot about that emergency system. thanks for the reminder! :thumbup: You know it. If some system is called main, there is also emergency one to back it up. Otherwise it would be just called system:smilewink::lol:.
Muddy17 Posted April 11, 2017 Author Posted April 11, 2017 Very strange thing occurred, I used the actual switch in the cockpit to deploy (30 I believe)under the canopy rail and It worked instantly and the (P) key has worked ever since,,,, Go figure.
RvETito Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 That's actually a key feature that was in the manual since the very beginning but was implemented just now - after you retract the landing gear and it's up an locked you have to move the lever to neutral. Otherwise you'll discharge the compressed air bottle as the brakes will be constantly applied. If the pressure goes to zero then you can kiss bye-bye the normal braking plus the chute. That pressure is indicated on a gauge on your right panel (left needle), just bellow the radar control panel. I don't know why this wasn't in the update change log.

Golo Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 I don't know why this wasn't in the update change log. Because it was implemented since release, not just now.
RvETito Posted April 20, 2017 Posted April 20, 2017 Eh? How come I've flown hundreds of hours till now with the gear lever in up position with the air pressure not dropping a single psi?

See Dolphin's comment in the bug thread regarding air pressure: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=3106127#post3106127 It's was definitely in and working at release, I fell foul of it.
