KoN Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Within weight limit but can't take off . Load weapons and fuel . Drag sliders down to weight limts but can't take off at full throttle .

Pretty sure laoding troops doesn’t count to weight limit in re arm menu? Are you using the mission editor trigger function to load troops? Tbh I haven’t tested if that increases weight in re arm menu or not. I assume temperature and altitude is reasonable? I have found that missions using current temeprsture of 20-35 degrees Celsius, does push it to its limit alot, and altitude only makes that worse Edited June 21, 2022 by AeriaGloria Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are on the Syria map at Altitude and wind was quite strong . Rotorheads server . So heat and Altitude could be the factor . Three attempts too take off , just could not gain any Hight ,My collective was at max , Felt like the engines are underpowered. All other Heli's were taking off quite easy with full weapon load outs . ill test again today see if I can do track but as you know DCS tracks are broken . I wish we had the record button like other sim , Great battles . So easy to record .

Even though the rotor is smaller in diameter and has increased chord and RPM to make up for lack of blade length, the smaller rotor diameter still makes it lose performance faster with altitude then Mi-8. I have had times as well on rotorheads recently with 20-30 degree temperatures and FARPs at 1,000-2,000m making it hard to take off. Requiring decrease in weight and doing either a rolling take off off of the FARP, or hovering ground effect and speeding up to ETL in ground effect Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tested on Enigma server and all back to normal easy take off and fully laden with weapons . I think you are right with height and heat . Guess ill drop fuel to get of the ground .

If it helps, Chucks guide has the charts to calculate max take off weight spending on altitude and temperature I believe, maybe not temperature….. 1 Black Shark Den Squadron Member: We are open to new recruits, click here to check us out or apply to join! https://blacksharkden.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
