reported Unable to land on the Tarawa PG Foothold..

[The_Nephilim]

Hey Guys,

 

I ran into what appears to be a bug of some kind. I was flying a mission in PG/Foothold and was on the deck of the Tarawa. now the thing that seemed broke was the helicopter took off upon going in the gunners seat and I was unable to set the Apache on the deck it would stay at 10feet above the deck and the message kept saying water underneath unable to land even tho I was directly over the carrier..

 

Now I am able to land on the Farps and airfields it just did not go back on the deck on the Tarawa and took off automatically even tho I did not initiate the takeoff..

 

This was with me in the CPG seat and getting George to fly. I will post my log file if it might help. but this was not a good thing as I wanted to change my loadout and I was unable to do so. Even when I came back after the mission  was over the same thing happened. 

 

I did not save the track file but I can get one if needed. hopefully this can be rectified..

 

EDIT: It appears the recording of trk files is broke while on the tarawa.. you will notice while watching the trk file it appears I am over a farp which I am not.. so what do we do now?

Hi @The_Nephilim

All Multiplayer trackfiles are automatically recorded in the Tracks/Multiplayer folder.

We would appreciate if you could supply one of our analysis.

OK, I added the trk file and once I go into the gunner spot the apache takes off and remains at a hover of 10 feet and will not go down, I get the message "water beneath"

Can you try to replicate the exact issue in a single player mission? Perhaps place the Tarawa in a simple mission in Caucasus and attempt to do what you were trying to do before?

In my limited experience, George won't land at all, and will hover above the runway/LZ until you take over and perform the landing. This was several patches ago, and I just never tried to have George land since.

@The_Nephilim  Have you gotten George to land on an airbase?

@Recluse, George will land if you set his altitude in H-B to 0. But you will need to be patient as he will do it slowly.

Thanks for the confirmation!  Will have to give him another chance....

the thing I found to do once you are at 10' and in H-B Mode move forward a little bit and george usually lands when it goes forward.. to speed up the landing process.. but he will eventually land the Apache..

I Will try and do that.. I will see if it records the track file as well. hopefully it will.

well I did a single player mission in Caucus and it did the same thing. Once I switch to the front seat the Apache takes off and I am unable to land from the front seat. the message from dcs is there is water underneath..

Hi @The_Nephilim

Thanks for bringing this up. I reported it internally.
