[REPORTED]Cargo transportation is broken (Last update OB)

[SilentSierra]

Hi there,

 

I made a mission where a CH-47D loads ammo to transport to a specific trigger zone, but the last update broken this action (Cargo transportation).

 

Check the track and the mission files.

 

Best regards.

[REPORTED]AI Helicopters Failing to Pick Up Cargo

 

The video below shows what is happening when an AI helicopter goes to pick up cargo. At about 1:08 into the video the helicopter will quickly pop into the air at the point where it would normally start the sling animation.

 

 

 

After that it lands next to the cargo spinning the rotors until it runs out of fuel. Once the helicopter has landed it no longer accepts any commands including reset task.

 

Here is what I have noticed:It happens every time the mission is run

1. It does not make a difference what kind of cargo is used
   
2. It does not matter what kid of helicopter is used
   
3. Cargo heading or weight has no impact on success rate
   

The only thing that appears to correct the behavior are to modify conditions that force the helicopter to take a different approach to the cargo. The conditions are:

 

1. Wind direction and speed
   
2. Way point position relative to the cargo
   
3. Cargo position
   
4. Helicopter altitude at the time the cargo pickup task is set

After two updates, this feature still don't work. Why was not reported? This feature was working previously.

Reported thanks

 

It looks like it is a CH-47 issue, when I tried with a UH-1H all was ok.

[BIGNEWY]

Looks like it is related to the CH-47 I have reported it

 

Threads merged

 

thanks

Thanks for reporting. I tested all transport helicopters. Only the CH-47D, OH-58D and Mi-24V don't load the cargo.

 

Best regards.

Added the Mi-24V.

I posted this ...

 before I saw this thread.  The problem seems to be with helicopters that can be optionally player-controlled.
