Bagpipe Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 New to the 21. Landing safely, flaps to raised, throttle to idle, pressing button 30 for drag chute (see pic, button in middle of image) deployment or "P" on keyboard...and nothing happens. Even as low as 200kph This is in the nevada landing Instant Action mission and also on Caucasus from air start coming straight in to land at kobuleti. So not related to lack of compressed air or button covers or anything...just no chute?? Any ideas what i am doing wrong? :helpsmilie::helpsmilie:
Bagpipe Posted January 1, 2020 Author Posted January 1, 2020 ok...so weirdly enough, air start missions = no chute operation. Takeoff from runway = successful chute operation. Is this a known bug?
Freddo Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 ok...so weirdly enough, air start missions = no chute operation. Takeoff from runway = successful chute operation. Is this a known bug? maybe the gear handle... is it in neutral position after takeoff /air start? If not, you lost your press. air and brakes and chute need press. air. Module: viel zu viele... Warte auf: Fulda Gap, MiG-23, xy (4th. Gen RED) und mehr neue und alte Propeller wie P-38, Corsair, DC-3, Transall, Tucano usw. Projekt: OpenFlightSchool -> Thread
LCO489 Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 maybe the gear handle... is it in neutral position after takeoff /air start? If not, you lost your press. air and brakes and chute need press. air. As the pics on the first post it wasn't in neutral. Might be that the cause
AeriaGloria Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 As the pics on the first post it wasn't in neutral. Might be that the cause What does the pneumo gauge say? Lots of things can use up air, like wheel brakes Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com
randomTOTEN Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 Just landed from an air start, chute opened normally.
joker62 Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 As the pics on the first post it wasn't in neutral. Might be that the cause Yes, that's cause. From DCS MiG-21bis manual, pag.69, Gear handle, Neutral position is important: when you retract your gears, compressed air is used to brake the tyres and prevent them from rotating. Once you retract your gears, place the handle in neutral position to prevent further consumption of compressed air. If you forget to do this, you may waste all of your compressed air during flight, so when you land, you won’t be able to use your brakes and drag chute, since these two important systems consume compressed air as an energy source.
Bagpipe Posted January 2, 2020 Author Posted January 2, 2020 The gear lever is down in pic as i am hurtling down the runway on wheels with no chute(reference the altimeter). Still plenty of air pressure for brakes as stated in my first post. You can just about stop but then cannot taxi futher as use all pressure to stop. In an air start mission it should never be an issue to have no air pressure after landing as the aircraft should be configured correctly to simulate a competent pilot having got it into the air... Strange that a module as old as this still has basic problems like this.
Dehuman Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 Strange that a module as old as this still has basic problems like this. As modules get older more bugs appear as the DCS World code changes around them. MiG is from 1.2!
AeriaGloria Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 Post a track or a pic of your pneumo gauge. Leaving the gear down or up will deplete it fast as well as having your break on while in flight Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com
Bagpipe Posted January 3, 2020 Author Posted January 3, 2020 Post a track or a pic of your pneumo gauge. Leaving the gear down or up will deplete it fast as well as having your break on while in flight I am afraid it is not a question of (or shouldn't be) air pressure as i literally am spawning into the aircraft from "flying point" in ME and immediately landing. Gear is already in neutral position and brakes not applied until flaps level and parachute not deploying. Like i say, it doesn't happen if you take off from runway/ramp, turn around and land. It deploys fine and as expected but air start defo has a bug in there as far as i can tell. Won't put me off just a slight PITA for practicing landing from the air is all :smilewink:
randomTOTEN Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 I don't have this problem at all... please post a track.

What is your pneumo gauge saying throughout your runway start/air start process? It should be full when the mission starts. It can happen from something as simple as leaving your wheel breaks on in flight. Even if you taxi out and watch the gauge if your not careful you run out of air before even turning around on the threshold unless you are careful. Check if your breaks are double bound Edited January 3, 2020 by AeriaGloria Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com

Even if you taxi out and watch the gauge if your not careful you run out of air before even turning around on the threshold unless you are careful. Check if your breaks are double bound You're missing the point i feel.:( When the chute fails = no taxiing (In-Flight start, no use of air tanks or gear lever at all except from down) When the chute works = Taxiing (Ramp start, using air and gear lever up and neutral ) If their was a keybind issue i would experience it during either situation i reckon, though i will double check. Most binds are still on default so would be surprised if it was that. I will try and get a short vid detailing what i am experiencing but i didn't think it would be necessary for such a simple issue. Nonetheless, procedures are procedures. Seems unlikely i am the only one with the issue. To be continued :thumbup:
Art-J Posted January 3, 2020 Posted January 3, 2020 Vid would be nice, but for a faster troubleshooting, post a replay track file (yeah, I know they're unreliable, but maybe this time it will work), or at least a mission file where the issue happens, so we can take a look. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.
Worrazen Posted January 26, 2020 Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) Fresh player as of January 2020 (but I had it for years) I can't disconnect the chute - it stays connected >> training mission LANDING. EDIT: Seems like it did disconnect either after I drove to grass or after I pulled the flaps up, I'll test later again.
