reported UH-1H Huey - Still creates ground effect after prop falls off

[Bosun]

For the huey - if you lose your prop and manage to land, the ground effect (dust and vegetation effects) still go on as if it is there.

Thanks. This one is reported internally.

Rotorwash should be the least of your concerns if you lose the main rotor... but nonetheless, just pointing out that it does continue to appear in DCS. See track and photo below. I'm not positive, but I think there is still some lift being generated (in DCS) after the rotor is knocked off, or at least the helicopter doesn't feel like it is accelerating toward earth as quickly as I would expect if the main rotor is lost. Example is UH-1H, I have not tested others.

DCS 2.9.2.49940 Open Beta

This is exclusive to to the UH-1H and the issue was reported earlier.
