Arg0n Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I also noticed when you have an engine faliure and try to land in a field a wierd thing can happen. I was hit by a stinger but survived, extinguished the flame on that engine, shut down it's fuel supply and went to emergency mode for the second engine and jettisoned all weapons, now i was able to fly for a few minutes but then i started to lose power and I decided to land in a field. My descent rate was about 0.5-1 meter per second, but upon landing the helicopter tipped to the side (despite it being leveled out and landing on level ground). The very second the blade touched the ground the helicopter exploded. So my wish is to find out is this a rare occasion or is it more frequent.

Druid_ Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) Arg0n , it might help if that nose wheel didnt have a mind of its own and canter off at 90 degrees at every opportunity! Make sure you touch down on the main wheels with no forward motion and then lower nose wheel down gently if possible. Also try and find a road or flat building (preferably large) to land on, you usually dont tip over then. Offroad, although modelled flat, has a poor landing success rate for me. My most interesting problem so far is a forward fuel tank leak which if I remember rightly feeds the left engine. External view showed the leaking fuel and inside the gauge was dropping. Out of interest I let it run to zero (having climbed for height) and bingo engine runs down. No problem started APU, open fuel xfeed and restarted it. Now I would of thought that this would run the rear tank dry by crossfeeding to the forward but it didn't! The external view still showed the leak bu the rear tank consumed fuel at what I would consider a normal rate. Its possible the Devs have got this right if the xfeed bypasses the other fuel tank and feeds directly to the engine spar valve but I'd be suprised if it did as it would mean a more complicated fuel system and extra weight, not to mention ...its Russian! Anyway, some interesting damage modelling and goes to show how much thought went into this Sim.

Dr. Mitsos Posted July 7, 2009 Author Share Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) Sorry guys but will not any skins added extra. All works on the patch was freezed. Right now testing and release. I STRONGLY believe that also the GREEK skin MUST be added (from the time it IS available by “Chazz_BMF”) Even though the work as you said is Freezed not stoped... so i also believe that you should have made clear earlier about your work in progress in a single thread in order to make available in public info about this statement... Plus as a programmer my self i know that adding a skin in DCS lua script isn't that hard and there is no need to affect the whole patch... Believe me i have the best of intentions for the best completion of your product since i have proved it many times (creator of no1 sticky thread ) Well you see you have made something really important for the Flight sim history. I would do the same if a Turkish skin or other country skin was available... Best regards!!! I'm looking forward in hearing from you...

Arg0n Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Hey druid i was able to completley stabilise it and land back wheels first very gently (first the weels touch the ground and then the helicopter's weight comes on the wheels) But still outside roads/buildings/airfields it is very hard to land without tipping over, but very tipping isn't the problem, the problem is the helicopter explodes quite often when the blade strikes the ground.

Dr. Mitsos Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 As i entered here today i show that all of my posts were erased with no certain reason... not even a PM to inform me why? First of all i would like to ask why since i have the BEST of intentions? Secondly as i say: Parachutes are like minds... They work better when they are open... why you cant accept our way of thinking, gamers - flight simmers way of thinking? You don't want a good product? Well you see here in Greece F-16 is the main fighter and we have currently many BIG communities flying & supporting (with maps, models, Aegean theater, e.t.c.) Open Falcon... For example here some: http://www.e-haf.org/forum/ (THE SPECIALISTS) http://lockon-greece.forumotion.net/ (Our community Lock On FC + DCS + OF + IL2 + ROF) http://aces-high.gr/ (OF + IL2) http://e-335thgr.com Soon F-16 will be available as you said for DCS... These communities above are ready to replace OF with DCS only if DCS has more features. Why not to have logbook support ready from the first product ??? Dont you want a better product than OF ??? I gave you all the knowledge and for reward you erased my posts (HAF - ranks, insignia, medals, etc)... Sorry for making this public but you have to respond to me (even PM) and respect me as i have proved my worthy & as i respect you, plus i try to help you ... I believe that you owe me at least an explanation... I'm a fanatic with your products so i hope you don't misunderstand me... I'm not here to protect my interests but to protect your INTERESTS !!!

SNAFU Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I wish ED would provide us with a dynamic campaign ala Falcon 4.0, than I wouldn´t care much what I would fly.

Druid_ Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 (edited) Right here goes, a small rant that doubles as a wish list. A) Trees and buildings that are'nt INVISIBLE to the enemy. By that I mean, they can't 1) See you visually 2) Shoot at you 3) Lock you up 4) Pick you up on Radar The current modelling is fine for aircraft but rubbish for a helo sim (especially one where there is no RWR) that relies heavily on ground cover to execute its mission. I'm fed up with doing a pop up look over a ridge and getting a backside full of TOW/SAM/Shell because they have seen me for 10 secs longer whilst I was climbing to look over the tree tops. Not only that but the incoming missile flies straight through the middle of a building followed by the trees I'm hiding behind. Apart to avoid Radar Missiles you are better off flying around at about a thousand feet the whole time (at least you have a chance of seeing the threat) which ruins the whole idea of helicopter combat. ED must be able to come up with a fix to model trees (or large clumps of them) as solid objects! Not to mention some of the buildings which are made out of rice paper. B) Tanks shouldn't be able to laser lock you up and fire within 2 seconds!! (or should that be locked up, move ak50 ... too late dead within 2 secs at 2km+ range) Also their accuracy on a moving, albeit slowly, helicopter is ridiculous. C) Please Please Please fix the mission editor. Liveview/Satellite view, better triggers aimed at Multiplayer, better unit control, heck I'm sure you've heard them all by now. I enjoy building missions, but the amount of time spent debugging is ridiculous and frustrating. Also fix the bugs, see http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=42924 For me those are the main issues on what is a superb Sim. Now that I am familiar with the heli and its operation the above problems bear the brunt of my frustration. Fingers crossed for a great patch!! p.s. Forgot to mention that the above problems also stand for enemy versus friendly ground unit engagements.

joey45 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 The trees we know about - The answer is hidden deep in a thread somewhere. and there's something about the/a DC engine somwehere as well. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Druid_ Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I'm sure there is, just can't be bothered searching through hundreds of pages of drivel. Some people use the forums like chat rooms! Also would be nice if each flight of clients could belong to the same group (as for units) in the ME. Would make triggers for multiplayer a damn sight easier thats for sure! i7-7700K : 16Gb DDR4 2800 Mhz : Asus Mobo : 2TB HDD : Intel 520 SSD 240gb : RTX 2080ti: Win10 64pro : Dx10 : TrackiR4 : TM Warthog : ASUS ROG SWIFT PG348Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaman Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 (edited) MISSION EDITOR / GAME WORLD Setting mission start date - DAY/MONTH/YEAR (instead of terrain texture season) and by that having: - correct SUN / MOON position - correct planets / Northern Star position / stars - correct time length of DAWN and DUSK - seasonal ground textures (already done) This has been done in many sims and not only sims.
