Nozzle down on AV-8B

[Doum76]

Not sure if the issue is DCS related since last patch or AV-8B related, but just in cases off, will post here as well as it was on Razbam section just in cases of, issue might be happening with other aircraft, but since i mostly only fly this one and it's easier to spot with it's nozzle able to go vertical it's easier to spot and repeat the process.

 

Since last patch, we found out that we get some weird smoke effect/dust coming out the ground with the AV-8B when nozzle were down to 60deg+.

After 2 days ago i found out by mistake a leading path to the issue, at first people were going for the mod issue but even then was tough to replicate the issue, so i found out by mistake that the issue occurs when hovering below 80 ft over the water, so when on the Tarawa deck since we are more or likely 50ft over the sea it happens, as if the Tarawa collision is on for land and take off on, butt is invisible to some stuff...

 

Not sure if it's ED related or Razbam since maybe ED are working on a new dust ground effect.. so for now what i found out that reproduce the issue is, using the AV-8B (but as i said, maybe it would happens using any other fixed wing and going vertical from that altitude, but i don't fly anymore other birds until Hornet comes out :));

 

1- Cold Start from Ground : No issues

2- Hot Start from Ground : No issues

3- Cold Start from Tarawa deck: Issue occurs

4- Hot Start from Tarawa : Issue occurs

 

So until it's fixed if you wanna avoid the issue, don'T start from the Tarawa and you'll be able to do carrier ops without smoke/dust effect issues

edit RAZBAM are aware

 

Hi guys, we didn't add anything on our end to add this, so I'll see about working with ED on this to see what was changed to cause this effect.
