Eviscerador Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 Hi everyone! I started playing the campaign and... well, let's say I'm not doing fine. I try to use pop up from behind trees and other cover in order to minimize my exposure. I locate the target, find a nice piece of solid cover, ridge or calve in a forest and I set to auto hover while out of sight. I prepare everything, Master arm, viviane, select HOT tube... I disengage auto collective and I pop up, aquire target, fire (or cover in case I'm too close and being shot at) and then DISASTER! When I cut a bit the collective to go back in cover, the helo just drops like a brick. I try to apply more collective and at first it looks like it stops falling down, but then it keeps falling and I eventually crash into ground. I never apply torque over the Red line so... why is this happening? Any advice will be welcomed. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Eviscerador Posted July 10, 2018 Author Posted July 10, 2018 Well, I've done some research and it looks that I've been introduced to Vortex Ring State in all its glory. I will work smoothly on my collective to avoid this. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
sc_neo Posted July 11, 2018 Posted July 11, 2018 apparently you found a ghost :) Some people were complaining that they were not remotely able to induce VRS in the Gazelle. Sure let us know whether its really VRS or whether it turns out to be something buggy or such.

Sephyrius Posted July 11, 2018 Posted July 11, 2018 Do you really slam the collective down to dip the heli before an incoming missile hits you or something? I can't remember the last time I managed to induce VRS in the Gazelle.

I can't remember the last time I managed to induce VRS in the Gazelle. Yep, just that. In fact I tried to replicate the problem and the usual VRS recovery (just get some velocity in any horizontal axis) works. I get out of the downwash and I have lift again. If you want to induce VRS it is easy. Get autohover, disable autocollective and drop the collective for 1 second and then apply collective again. There you have a brick Gazelle :lol: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
