reported Weight affect on model with or without full loadout

[Maverick24]

Hello,

 

I noticed that if I load some kind of load, it has not enough effect on model - gear especially. Here are some pictures:

 

Without any load:

With full load (MTOW is 11.500, here is 13.089):

Real look with some kind of full load:

 

Even in the sim is noticable that helicopter is some kind of nearly floating over ground, or touch ground only the edge of wheels and wheel tires are not affected by a model weight. I just comparing with Hip, where are wheels and dampers affected. 

 

Thank you for checking

That third pic is horribly photoshopped, that loadout is flat-out impossible on the Hind and the tires looks like they're flat, not to mention a myriad other problems I can see. Get a real photo, not a crappy 'shop job.

 

I assume stores weight affecting gear is WIP, we're still quite early in development.

Theres a bit of picture in that Photoshop...

Sorry guys, I didnt think of that, I will try to get another picture. BTW it is not just about a tires, it is about a dumper position itself. 

 

Thanks for notice.

Hi, 

 

The team have modelled this, I will ask them to review, please note the images you compare against are not the older Mi-24P which we have modelled. 

 

thanks

Thank you for checking. Yes, it is old V and new M or PM witch I dont think there is much difference. I understand, but I dont have an actual pictures. Technicians will not load helicopter just for one picture or my sad eyes to prove my point :). 

 

But if you compare load with Mi-8 model in DCS, there is a difference in tires and dumpers.

 

Thank you

Yes, the poise of the Hind and load on the gear isn't right; I have books with pictures of the Hind and (it is a heavy helo) the gear and tyres look loaded even when it isn't fully loaded ready for flight. Your above pics and my external views show a helo that's on the point of getting airborne with no weight on the gear.

 

I think the 'grip' effect on the wheels (more so at rear) isn't quite modelled right yet, it feels too skittish to me.

 

Still, not biggies but be better if they can be addressed at some point.

 

Great job ED on it so far BTW!

This is reported to the team for improvement.
