Sandman1330 Posted September 28 Posted September 28 (edited) Something about the Kiowa FM has bugged me since it came out. When hovering with a moderate tailwind, or hovering backwards, the aircraft does.... something I don't understand. The rotor RPM spikes off the chart, the aircraft starts falling as if it's in VRS (but it's not), and yaw becomes nearly uncontrollable. I feel like this might be trying to simulate LTE, or VRS. But it can't be VRS because it occurs with no descent rate, and it can't be LTE because the pedals are still effective. Neither explains the spike in rotor RPM. I've attached a track. What the heck is this??? In 2000+hrs flying real helicopters I've never seen or heard of anything like this. Please tell me it's a bug and it will be fixed, it's extremely annoying - combat does not always allow one to hover into wind (the enemy could be downwind from you!) kiowa tailwind.trk Edited September 28 by Sandman1330 2 Ryzen 7 5800X3D / Asus Crosshair VI Hero X370 / Corsair H110i / Sapphire Nitro+ 6800XT / 32Gb G.Skill TridentZ 3200 / Samsung 980 Pro M.2 / Virpil Warbrd base + VFX and TM grips / Virpil CM3 Throttle / Saitek Pro Combat pedals / Reverb G2
Yurgon Posted September 28 Posted September 28 Can you create another track that doesn't need mods? This one apparently needs the UH-60L mod. 1

Yurgon Posted September 29 Posted September 29 Thanks for the track! That looks very odd indeed and I have no explanation for this kind of behavior either. Looks like a bug to me. @Polychop Simulations can you take a look at this? 2 1
Firebugs Posted Thursday at 04:26 PM Posted Thursday at 04:26 PM I was just going to make a post about this! Glad to see I'm not crazy. This is extremely easy to replicate and I can't think of any reason for it to happen. Put a 10kt wind and hover facing the direction of flow so you don't move relative to the ground. Within 3-5 minutes the chopper will eventually and suddenly have rotor RPM spike, and the torque will go from 70-85 (in the hover) to reading "000" and you have to dive out of it to regain torque and flight. Very strange, doesn't happen with the Gazelle, Apache, or Mi8. Haven't tested any other helos.
Rogue Trooper Posted Thursday at 07:46 PM Posted Thursday at 07:46 PM Is this AP controlled hover or pilot controlled? HP G2 Reverb (Needs upgrading), Windows 10 VR settings: IPD is 64.5mm, High image quality, G2 reset to 60Hz refresh rate. set to OpenXR, but Open XR tool kit disabled. DCS: Pixel Density 1.0, Forced IPD at 55 (perceived world size), DLSS setting is quality at 1.0. VR Driver system: I9-9900KS 5Ghz CPU. XI Hero motherboard and RTX 3090 graphics card, 64 gigs Ram, No OC... Everything needs upgrading in this system!. Vaicom user and what a superb freebie it is! Virpil Mongoose T50M3 base & Mongoose CM2 Grip (not set for dead stick), Virpil TCS collective with counterbalance kit (woof woof). Virpil Apache Grip (OMG). MFG pedals with damper upgrade. Total controls Apache MPDs set to virtual Reality height. Simshaker Jet Pro vibration seat.. Uses data from DCS not sound... goodbye VRS.

Firebugs Posted yesterday at 02:34 AM Posted yesterday at 02:34 AM Rogue, for me this has been 100% pilot controlled.
