Tea-Pig Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Track of tailwheel failure taxiing gently in the Normandy hot start instant action mission at Villacoublay. Seems like maybe some sideways force on the wheel might be a factor? tail wheel4.trk R7-7800x3d, Asus TufRTX4090, 32G Corsair 6GHz DDR5, Reverb G2, Motion Rig (home made), Sidewinder FFB Stick, Crosswind Pedals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaobladder Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 (edited) Did a load of landings earlier as a test, even on to a smooth concrete runway not the dirt strips we use....same effect each time, float the Mossie in, tiniest of touches and wham tail strikes floor, smashes main gear back down and repeats, there is a stutter/jump as its touching down which is odd, the aircraft then oscillates left to right swinging off the runway with hardly any brakes and rolls to a halt. It's as if the tyres are hugely inflated and zero give in the suspension. Apologies for the cough https://youtu.be/Yteb7q-RL3U?si=WT39KfcFYidrTBIh Edited February 20 by Slaobladder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krostar Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 (edited) Another smooth landing (<50 fpm) attempt, from 3 points of view. No bombs nor rockets. 30% fuel Manston airfield, Channel map My flying is far from perfect, and RPM 2500 until touchdown is probably not standard procedure though.

Slippa Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 There was an update to DCS. I taxied out in the Mossie after it and thought it was DCS bugging out but it’s the Mossie. Roll it along on any map now, any runway and you can’t miss the ‘vibrating’ from either internal or external views. I’ve got used to taking off with it but taxi too quickly and you’ll hear a silly sounding ‘breakage’ when the wheel gives up. Same as you can hear on the landing video above. Landings, though few and far between for me, often break the tailwheel. On MP severs, if I see others flying Mossies I watch theirs jitter about too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slippa Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 First thing I thought of when I saw the patch today. What about the buckled tailwheel on our Mossie then? - Nada. It hasn’t been rolled back and undone either. Trouble is, there was an update. For me, the Mossie got broken or at best damaged in that update, at least the suspension did and it seems as if it’s planned to roll out (pardon the pun) to other modules in the future. If the current state of the Mossie isn’t improved upon I dread the day they update the rest of the hangar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its odd, when I watch your track I see how bad it is for you, but if I take control of the track, while some bounce still, no where near as bad.

Slippa Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Oh that is odd. I’d love it to be something to do with my set up, if only so nobody else had to have it. Good to know you can see what I’m on about though, it’s a start. I’m certain it’s nothing to do with my peripherals. ie Warthog HOTAS, keyboard bindings etc. I’ve ‘spoken’ to people in MP that see the same thing and hate it, some so much they’re gutted and won’t fly the Mossie as it is. There’s a few posts here and there too from various people having the same thing. cheers for looking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team NineLine Posted April 14 ED Team Share Posted April 14 Yeah Its a problem that most certainly exists, but weird how it is worse for others and not for some. I have reported how active the tail wheel is in general, it seems much too bouncy regardless, I included your tracks even though I cannot reproduce when I am controlling I do see it when I simply watch your tracks. 1 Forum Rules • My YouTube • My Discord - NineLine#0440• **How to Report a Bug** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tea-Pig Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Well now it seems we're all agreed that there's a problem and some even consider the plane unusable in its current state, how about an immediate hotfix that just rolls the Mosquito back to how it used to be as a temporary measure? I'd vote for that if we had a poll. 1 R7-7800x3d, Asus TufRTX4090, 32G Corsair 6GHz DDR5, Reverb G2, Motion Rig (home made), Sidewinder FFB Stick, Crosswind Pedals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slippa Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Well, I couldn’t be more obvious about where my vote goes. Let’s have the return of our wooden wonder. Pretty please with bells on. - Promise not to moan about the wiper (for a bit). I’ve explained to Mrs Slippa that at least for the moment, I do have bouncy jugs on the computer.

Art-J Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 NL, it's Channel Manston on the video, isn't it? I'd recommend testing on Normandy 2 version of it, as it seems to be somewhat more rough&bumpy than its Channel counterpart. I suspect If devs manage to tweak tailwheel in the future to be "N2-Manston-compatible", then it will be OK everywhere else. With that being said, yesterday I tried to do a full taxi-takeoff-landing-rollout cycle on N2 Manston indeed and for the first time I was surprised NOT to suffer tailwheel strut failure (despite "usual" bounciness). I did it all with 50% fuel load, however, no ordnance. So, returning from mission, lightweight, won't be a problem I guess, but first one has to taxi and takeoff with full fuel, ammo, bombs & rockets for said mission aaaaand this is where keeping the strut from collapsing is a challenge now. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.
