rooster328 Posted December 29, 2017 Posted December 29, 2017 Are the s-80 illumination rockets working? I'm firing that in a night mission but no flares launch...or at least nothing that I can see.
Kang Posted December 29, 2017 Posted December 29, 2017 I have to admit, I haven't used the S-8 ones ever, but my experience with the 2.75" rockets on the Huey are that you have to fire them in a rather high (read: higher than you would think) arc, as they take a while to ignite.
NASA6 Posted January 20, 2018 Posted January 20, 2018 i don't think they are working at the moment, i even managed to crash servers while using them ! i would get a weaponblock.dll error
1.JaVA_Platypus Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 Aren't they supposed to light up when they hit the ground?? Happy Flying! :pilotfly:
Hawk6201 Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 I tried firing them (From a Ka-50), but it crashed after several seconds in the air. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
razo+r Posted January 21, 2018 Posted January 21, 2018 They will start to illuminate the field once their flight time has been long enough. Right now, they only crash the game...
Looney Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 It's the same as the KA50 S-8 illumination rockets. You need to fire them at roughy 15 degrees up angle, they travel roughly 7km and will ignite, illuminating the ground below. If you shoot them straight and level they'll just bury themselves in the ground and be destroyed. Come to a hover (or be really good at math at speed), pitch the nose up roughly 15 degrees and launch a salvo. Wait approximately 30 seconds (it's the burntime of the flare) and launch another salvo keeping the area illuminated, again, 15 degrees nose up.
