Weird takeoff

[Eagle7907]

Hey guys,

 

I think I discovered something unintentionally today. I loaded up a Tomcat with 8 rockeyes, 2 winders, and 2 bags. Started from ramp at Tonopha? in Nevada. Started up correctly, taxied to runway, only used maneuver flaps and rolled down the runway. I started pulling up at 150kts then the jet rolled forward and left. So I pulled hard to get the jet off because I knew something happened. I left the gear down because I thought maybe I blew a tire. Checked for damage by F2 view. Not a scratch, tires still present and in one piece.

 

So I continue mission. Drop my bombs and RTB. When I touch down, the jet slides all over the place and the main wheels look sunk in to the ground. After my Tokyo Drift finished, I shrugged and said “Early Access”.

 

Does this mean certain animations for damage are not complete? Like tire separation?

But has it only happened once or does it always do?

Thank you for reporting. Yes, the question is, does this happen every time at Tonopah or other runways or did it happen just once?

Only once. That makes it weird. I didn't try to duplicate yet, I'll do that today with a few tracks, hopefully.

I've had a blown tire at 150kts at Al Dafra once, TOW 70000lbs. Shouldn't happen IMO since the max tire speed is 190kts, bet then again, FODs happen.

Weird takeoff

 

I just tried twice to recreate this. No success. Both times was at same airport.

 

I remember just before it did the weird rolling left and forward on runway, the nose was bouncing pretty well to simulate uneven surface during takeoff roll. I didn’t pull back until after the bouncing started. Maybe there is a problem with that? I don’t know. If the tires didn’t separate or blow out, then it’s got to be an anomaly with surfaces. It’s not weather related. Winds are calm. High pressure. Temps around 30.

 

When I landed and slid to a stop all tires were present and no damage but the wheels for mains were not on ground. Like halfway into the ground.

 

May be a map issue. I wish I could get a track.

If your wheels were halfway into the ground that sounds like a blown tire to me

But the tires were still there and inflated.

I've seen this as well following a landing at Abu Dhabi, I still standby my statement in a blown tire with a bit of visual glitch

Just curious, and not a criticism of any sort. Are you guys RL pilots or pure sim pilots?

I did some drifting at Groom Lake AFB and I'm pretty sure blown tires are either not modelled yet or bugged. What I got was the wheel would go underground down to the rim level but no visual damage to the tire. Beside the aircraft tilt not much feeling of blown tire and it's still not that easy to blow it.
