Cannot take off

[islandhoppers]

Forgive me, this may sound stupid, I cannot get the Hind to take off. I've performed a cold start by watching youtube videos and when I raise the collective, nothing happens. The joystick is working as it should, it works in other DCS modules and other flight sims and the controls operate as the should in the cockpit, but it won't lift off.  The joystick is a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro.

Post a track file for bug reports. When you click end mission or quit or whatever, there’s a debriefing stats screen. At the bottom it says “save track.” ED needs these to more easily evaluate a bug report.

 

that being said I think we can just troubleshoot this and it’s probably not a bug.

 

1) do you have “collective” axis bound and not “throttle” ? Throttle control on helos is automatic, collective is how you go and down (generally speaking).

 

2) in game check the movement of your virtual collective and ensure it matches movement of your physical collective. If not, you need to go to tune axis and select invert

 

3) does your setup work on a hot started hind?

 

4) in your mission set up how overweight are you? The hind can take off vertically a little overweight but if it’s really fat you have to do a rolling take off. You’ll almost always have to adjust fuel load.

 

5) lastly you might have missed something in your cold start. Perhaps you didn’t throttle up? Check your rpm

@islandhoppersDo you have game flight mode enabled in the settings?  That is the most likely culprit, since many other people have had the issue and it was because they had game flight mode turned on.  This mode hasn't been implemented yet for the Hind.

Thank you TF-108, Game Flight Mode it was.
