Sling Load: wrong timing with weight removal

[BaD CrC]

It's great to finally be able to perform slings. Thanks ED for fixing the rope issue!:thumbup:

So we were testing this with a pair of Hueys with my squad tonight and we believe you got the weight modification wrong:

 

1- Take off and perform hover check - note the torque.

2- Choose a relatively heavy load and hook it up.

3- Lift it then drop it or crash it somewhere

4- Perform another hover check - the torque should be much higher than at 1-. It's like the load is still there pulling you to the ground, even-tough it has been released. You'll also notice the helicopter is very heavy to fly.

5- Select another load in F6 menu and hook it up. The moment you do that, your chopper weight appears to reset back to the value before 2- and your helicopter suddenly climbs like a weather balloon without touching the collective, until the rope stops it.

 

Got this on server and client side, so I suspect there is something wrong with the way and timing the weight of the sling load is subtracted to the total helicopter weight.

Confirmed in SP.

Have you guys experienced the other sling load bugs listed here ?

Yes, I do have the straight rope bug. It is not pretty, but it is pretty much a cosmetic issue. The weight bug is a bit more annoying for missions. We are often using our choppers at BSD in marginal conditions (high altitude/ heavy) and this bug can potentially ruin missions. Of course, it is still better than having the rope breaking systematically, but still...

Can you pick up a cargo set it down somewhere else, unhook it

 

Then let a friend try and pick up the same cargo u just unhooked ?

Haven't tried that. Will do.

Can confirm , you must use emergency unhook . this is the only way to avoid weight problem .
