Opalias Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 So with the Viggen's amazing short take of and landing capabilities I couldn't help but try to land on a carrier. To my surprise, it actually wasn't that difficult, even flying a normal carrier pattern is pretty achievable, sometimes I even stop short of where I would have using arresting gear. So as I taxi off the Landing area please as punch and contemplating a carrier born Viggen squadron I clip through the elevator on the carrier and lose a main. This has happened a few times and always seems to be related to an elevator. As absurd ad a Viggen on a carrier is, it would be nice to have the option, and if this clipping is related to a larger problem maybe this observation will help you get out in front of it before it manifests somewhere more problematic.
Repth Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 What carrier were you using? If the Carl Vinson, then try the same on the Stennis and see if you clip through the elevator. If the Stennis and not the Carl Vinson, then it sounds like a collision issue.
Opalias Posted October 19, 2018 Author Posted October 19, 2018 Also the clipping manifests as almost a stutter rather than a complete failure of the interface.
RagnarDa Posted October 20, 2018 Posted October 20, 2018 Hesitant to call this a bug.... Ok so thanks for the report but I’m going to be frank here and say I/we won’t do anything about this It is most likely some collision issue with the carrier itself and that’s not a HeatBlur model. Hope you enjoy the Viggen though and don’t hesitate to report bugs when you see them! DCS AJS37 HACKERMAN There will always be bugs. If everything is a priority nothing is.
Opalias Posted October 20, 2018 Author Posted October 20, 2018 Roger that, my biggest concern was that somehow the F-14 landing gear might have similar modeling/coding techniques, and not being able to drive that around on the Stennis would have been a much more pressing problem. I thought it very strange that I’ve only seen this with the Viggen. I’ve managed to get a few other aircraft down on the carrier and at least had never noticed it before.

Happens with the F-5 too. It's an ED bug, not HB.
