reported earlier Once landed on a moving ship's deck, a Huey is still moving, even when rotor is fully stopped.

I'm flying in at ESCA, a DCS flight School, where I'm involved in UH-1 training courses.

Many times, a flight mate complained about his Huey moving forward on the deck when landed on a ship’s deck (carrier, super carrier, frigate...), until he hits the ship and break the Huey.
Then, we did many tests :

• In the same mission, the other Hueys does not suffer the issue.
• The one who experienced the issue took a Mi-8 and landed on the ship : no issue. Back to Huey, he experienced again.
• Then I hosted the same mission, then he did not experience the issue. But, as hoster, I experienced the issue.
• It happens for the hoster, in Huey, whatever the mission, as soon as he landed on a moving ship’s deck.
• When the hoster spawn on a moving deck, it starts moving.
• Whatever the angle of the Huey on the deck, it moves is the ship bearing direction.
• Once the rotor fully stopped, the Huey is still moving (very slowly) on the deck.

In conclusion :

When landing on a moving ship’s deck, a UH-1 Hey of the mission's hoster or in a single mission, is still moving up to the edge of the deck and fall into the water even if the rotor is stopped.

 

May you fix it please ?

Thank you,

  Alexandre.

Added one test related to the hoster spawn on the deck

Bonjour Alexandre, the issue was reported two months ago.

Maybe it has something related to skids, the friction betwen skids and deck? On the other hand, I did not experience this problem with Gazelle. Mi-8 has wheels, so you can use wheel brakes.

I have a track with landing on a Ticonderoga-class cruiser, if it can help, the same problem happens.
