reported 105mm Light gun cargo issue when lifted by the Mi-8

[Razorback]

The static L118 105mm light artillery gun has been added to the list of possible cargo (can be cargo) but when you want to sling it with the Mi-8 (both in hovering and on the ground) the gun seems to go into the ground and the Mi-8 is damaged or destroyed.

Same to Uh-1

Thank you both for the heads up. Issue reported.

[Razorback]

So, not yet tested but the issue was reported but I didn't saw on the list that it was fixed with the last update...

[Flappie]

Then it means it was not fixed. It's a RAZBAM asset by the way, they were assigned the report.

Once the Cargo is hooked it starts to fall under the ground and keeps descending (infinite loop).

This glitch is always happening with this cargo (L118 Light Artillery Gun) ..

I saw recently a new object appeared on the crates category for sling loading, namely and artillery gun.

Happily I made a quick test mission for it but things weren't working as expected. In the moment the cable was attached to the new artillery gun, this one just exploded, as well as my helicopter. All other crates worked normally.

Is anyone else experiencing the same with this new object?

This issue was reported earlier.

UH-1 has unable to Carry a Light gun... That requiere a more heavy helo, similar to a CH-47.

This is not the issue here. Currently no DCS helicopter can carry this unit, because it falls through the ground as soon as it is "linked" to the aircraft.

The issue is being investigated.

The L118 no longer falls through the floor, but dances around wildly when connected. See the track file in the attachment.

Where is the sense here to leave such a faulty part in the DCS environment for almost 8 months? Even if it is from Razbam, where is your quality standard for DCS here and your standard against third party vendors?

If it can't be fixed in the foreseeable future, then please remove it temporarily.

Sorry for the harsh words. I know very well that an open beta is a test environment and bugs can happen, but this example just doesn't make sense to me.

I have to agree with you there. I already had gray hair because I thought I was doing something wrong in the last Mission. Okay, I had some before, but now there are more.

8 months is really a long time. Anyway, for something like this. Now it is also 10 months.

Already reported months and months ago but not yet fixed.
Seems to be not a priority for ED.
The CH-47 is coming and whitout any real improvements linked to logistical capabilities (L118 included) it will be difficult to take full advantage of this wonderful machine.
So we can just hope that this problem will FINALLY be rectified in the near future.

[Mr_sukebe]

Good spot.  The 118 bounced through to blades of my Mi8 yesterday
