Helipad in LZ Berlin explodes on contact

[winghunter]

Mission 1

I tried landing on the pad in Berlin twice. The helipad took damage from an average landing, and bounced up the helicopter. On second try the landing pad exploded and killed the helicopter. Maybe a bug in the latest DCS version?

Yeah probably. I didn't plant mines under it, I swear

Can you please send a track to ED?

[Reflected]

OK, I gave it a go, landed a few times, gently and hard, no damage, no bounce, no explosion, the pad is solid as rock.

It sounds to me like a corrupted install and/or an unofficial mod that's messing with your DCS. Do you have any of those installed?

[winghunter]

I've tried again, very gently touched the landing pad.

But the same problem, the heli gets bounced into the air and the landing pad is destroyed on the second try.

Flying in VR. Its a clean DCS install

I’m sorry I have no idea what this code means. You may want to send it to someone from ED maybe they can figure out. I’ll keep trying tomorrow but so far I haven’t been able to reproduce the issue and haven’t hward from anyone else either. 

[winghunter]

I made a simple test mission using the landing pad object I believe you used: M92_Sandbag_11

It works fine when isolated 

Edited July 21, 2024 by winghunter

[winghunter]

Actually scratch that. It aint fine, when you land on one side of the pad, it will destruct your helicopter.

I've attached the test mission.

Reporting this as a bug with the object

Ah, so you have to land on the SIDE! I guess I didn't do that. Now I can also reproduce it in a vanilla mission, I added 2 tracks to your report. Thanks for spotting this, I hope ED fixes it soon. Until then, we gotta land in the middle

[winghunter]

I finally made it, but it was anything but easy with 36 fps in VR and heavy stutters. The latest DCS patch tanked VR performance. I changed settings to lowest, on a 4090 system, and still getting those frames.

Hope the next patch fixes VR performance.

I've been getting massive mem leaks since February  - and not just after looking at the F-10 map
