Mission 5 - ugh

[DCoffey]

ok, I have tried 10 times now, no matter how soft I set down or from what direction, Something goes flying from the UH-1 and it slides off the back or sometimes the sides or sometimes it just explodes.

 

What the heck is going on here? I can land on containers all day so something is amiss.

 

I have watched multiple tracks and I do indeed set down very gently and the huey just starts sliding off!

Hey DCoffey, 

thank you for your Feedback. First of all I am very proud you did not gave up so fast and tried it again and again. I am not sure what happend, but I agree sth changed with the collision with the containers. Back in the days when I build the mission and tested it severel times it worked fine. 

I am currently working on a new version of the mission with adjusted triggers or a new type of ship to make the landing easier.

Thats great news, so it was not me. I hung in there because I was looking forward to the near blackout trip back to base to test my instrument skills.

Thanks for a great campaign thus far and speedy support.

 

Left skid low.

I just landed on the back two, and the co-pilot said, "Perfect." Then the Huey slipped right off to the right into the sea, also as the co-pilot said they were boarding. It is frustrating.

[Nyxx]

Update: just landed again and could not land more slowly and perfectly. Again, the co-pilot said, "Perfect." Then the Huey just sank down into the two containers, and "game over." It seems INOP right now, sadly.

[Cyking]

Hey @Nyxx, 
thank you for your Feedback. Yes sadly sth. has changed in the detection of the collision model. I am currently reworking the Mission, but sadly it did not made it in the latest patch. 

[Nyxx]

Has this been fixed with today's patch do you know?

no sorry, hopefully with next campaign patch, todays update is just a core hotfix I think. 

P.S. I tested the Mission again, successfully. So in general it is still possible to land on the rear container but you really need to be right in the middle of it and very smooth approach. But as mentioned earlier there will an "easier" version upcoming.

I landed very slowly and bang on the middle of the two. I don't want an "easy" version, I just don't want to sink into them 2-3 seconds after I've landed on them and the copilot tell me "perfect" 

Did you come in from the rear or the side of the ship? I came in from the rear.

I always approached from the side, also the wind is better there. 

[Nyxx]

I tried it from the side, but with a side wind, as the wind is from the north, and I thought I would give it another go from the rear. 

It worked but it does have to be a perfect landing. Got there in the end.

Thank you for your replies.

You made it, congrats!   

Respect for sticking with it and continuing to try. And yes, it really has to be a spot-on landing, very slow and smooth. Well done!

I just wish the damn wipers would actually do something.

Had to turn off waterdrops, or I simply didn't have enough visual references to make the landing (VR). The old Huey is long overdue a serious refresh by now.

Nice mission though!

Yeah I totally agree, the huey really needs wipers!! It would make it much easier, on slow speed the waterdrop blocking the whole window. But happy to hear, you enjoyed the Mission, thx. 

[Dachs]

Oh, forgot to say, I had to try 4 times before I managed to land. There is something seriously wrong with those containers, as they simply rip off the skids, and toss the Helo around for no good reason. It's a bit of an immersion breaker and a real shame, as the mission is well thought out.

If it was possible to take on the refugees from a low steady hover, that could mitigate the ED killer containers a bit, I think.

Yes there will be a new version of the Mission in an upcoming patch to avoid that in future. And respect for sticking with it and continuing 4 times to try.

Hi Cyking

This Mission is still unflyable.

Despite the promise that the mission is fixed in the last update it isn't.

Trying it more than 10 times now the ship still rips off the skids of the helicopter.

Whether you should take this mission out or do a basic rework on it!

I mean, this is a rescue mission, not one that everybody shoots on you

I hate to skip missions but with this s***t i have no other choice!!

Very disappointed now.

 

P.S: i am not a noob on the Huey

I am sorry to hear you are disappointed about this mission. It is hard but not unplayable in my opinion I tested more then one time. I do not doubt your huey skills, but may I ask how do you approach the ship and the containers, do you maybe have a track file to let me have look?

I tried it from behind, i tried it from the side i tried it angular from the left and from the right........i didn't lower the collective completly so i could get the refugees on board but at take off the ship always rips off my skids

Edited December 6, 2024 by sterny70

[Cyking]

Ok, i will take a look again. 

[d0ppler]

There is absolutely something wrong with these containers. I've tried it 3 times now, and it always rips of my skids, even though I set it gently down without lowering the collective all the way down.

[Cyking]

Sadly the latest change where you can complete the task without landing but an hover instead did not made in the recent patch. Will be updated in the next one. 

[d0ppler]

Thats good news at least

Hey Cyking

Beim 'Weihnachtsupdate' war wohl wieder nix dabei. Könntest Du hier nicht evtl. ein Hotfix ins Forum stellen?

Hi Sterny, 

Es tut mir leid, ich habe das Update fristgerecht an ED gegeben, aber aus irgendwelchen Gründen kam es nicht in den Patch. Leider liegt das außer meiner Kontrolle und du kannst mir glauben ich war auch nicht glücklich darüber!  Einen Hotfix kann ich aktuell nicht bereitstellen, da ich im Urlaub bin und nicht an meinem gaming PC. Es tut mir leid für die Umstände.

English Version:
I'm sorry, but I submitted the update to ED on time, but for some reason, it didn't make it into the patch. Unfortunately, this is out of my control, and you can believe me, I wasn't happy about it either!

I can't provide a hotfix at the moment, as I'm on vacation and not at my gaming PC. I apologize for the inconvenience.
