Prophet4no1 Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 So, I am doing the "Deployment" campaign and I'm on the mission where you have to fly over the mountains and do a coordinated attack on an insurgent vehicle holding area. As you know, two Mi-24's show up to try and spoil your day. I splashed one with a pair of Vikhrs. The second one, was a little more unusual. First Vikhr hit right in the pilots canopy. So, I think "he's done". As I watch on the Shkval, he keeps coming. I start firing HE rounds and none make a connection. I start making evasive maneuvers and at this point I realise, I'm not being engages, nor my wing men. I turn to face the Mi-24 again after it passed and locked it up. I watch on my screen as it kept flying to the mountain, and then into it. Not a fiery crash into it, but literally inside the mountain! I stared for a second then went one with the mission. On my way back to base after the mission, I flipped through the F2 camera's. To my surprise the Mi-24 was STILL flying! I was shocked. At this point it looked to be way off the normal map. After landing I flipped back to it and kicked up the time a bit to see if it was going to ever crash. After a while I gave up and quite. I thought it was interesting. Here are a couple pics of the super Hind. Pilot looks pretty dead to me. At 11,000 feet and climbing. lol [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
EtherealN Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 Did you happen to save the track file? Would help analyzing the behaviour. ;) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Daniel "EtherealN" Agorander | Даниэль "эфирныйн" Агорандер Intel i7 2600K @ 4.4GHz, ASUS Sabertooth P67, 8GB Corsair Vengeance @ 1600MHz, ASUS GTX 560Ti DirectCU II 1GB, Samsung 830series 512GB SSD, Corsair AX850w, two BENQ screens and TM HOTAS Warthog DCS: A-10C Warthog FAQ | DCS: P-51D FAQ | Remember to read the Forum Rules | | | Life of a Game Tester
Renato71 Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 Yeah! We want that mod! Possible flayble :D I'm selling MiG-21 activation key. Also selling Suncom F-15E Talon HOTAS with MIDI connectors, several sets. Contact via PM.
Prophet4no1 Posted January 18, 2010 Author Posted January 18, 2010 I accidently forgot to. Does it have an auto save for the last flight? I have not flown on since that one. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Prophet4no1 Posted January 18, 2010 Author Posted January 18, 2010 Cool, got it! Anthing in particulare I should look for that may have caused this? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Boberro Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 I have noticed it too! Chopper has climbed up to 6000 meters and higher. One pilot have been died. These Mi-24 series are really art of Soviet war helicopters. Almost not destroyable :D Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make... HISTORY! :D | Also to be remembered: FRENCH TANKS HAVE ONE GEAR FORWARD AND FIVE BACKWARD :D ಠ_ಠ ツ
STP Dragon Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 I noticed it also but I thought it was a problem of the connection to the server. This one was in singleplayer?

sobek Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 Cool, got it! Anthing in particulare I should look for that may have caused this? Post it here, maybe a Dev will want to look into it. Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives!
topol-m Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 You had to try ramming it. Surviving this would mean it`s really a super hind. I can already imagine it: DCS: Super Hind :doh: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
EtherealN Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 Attach it to a reply here (from the quick-reply box, select Go Advanced and then use the paperclip icon). Even if it is a while into the track I'd be very interested in looking at that to see if I can perhaps find some variable that can be replicated. I do suspect that this is a bit of a "freak occurance" and will be hard to nail down, but still. That Hind is almost as cool as Airwolf. :P [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Daniel "EtherealN" Agorander | Даниэль "эфирныйн" Агорандер Intel i7 2600K @ 4.4GHz, ASUS Sabertooth P67, 8GB Corsair Vengeance @ 1600MHz, ASUS GTX 560Ti DirectCU II 1GB, Samsung 830series 512GB SSD, Corsair AX850w, two BENQ screens and TM HOTAS Warthog DCS: A-10C Warthog FAQ | DCS: P-51D FAQ | Remember to read the Forum Rules | | | Life of a Game Tester
Prophet4no1 Posted January 18, 2010 Author Posted January 18, 2010 Ok, it should be attached. If I did it right. I flew this mission a few times before getting it rihgt, so I kinda sat and waited for the Hind's to show up. I also started climbing really early so I would be at alt in time for the big climb. If you watch the whole thing, I touched down right as one engine cut out from a tank going empty. Made for an unexpectedly rough landing, but it survived. lolSuper Hind.trk [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Mnemonic Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 You had to try ramming it. Surviving this would mean it`s really a super hind. I can already imagine it: DCS: Super Hind :doh: Super HIND is actually exists! ATE Mi-24 Super HIND Would be amazing to see it in DCS... but I think it's impossible...
sobek Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 ATE Mi-24 Super HIND Would be amazing to see it in DCS... but I think it's impossible... LOL, the design goal was definately not good visibility for the gunner, seriously, i wonder why they even bothered to install a transparent windshield. ;) On the other hand, who needs MK1 Eyball when he has that FLIR/DTV/whatever devilish device they bolted on to that thing :D Good, fast, cheap.

EtherealN Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 Remember that typical Mi-24 tactics will include high speed passes - meaning the helicopter will tilt forward and the gunner will have good view. :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Daniel "EtherealN" Agorander | Даниэль "эфирныйн" Агорандер Intel i7 2600K @ 4.4GHz, ASUS Sabertooth P67, 8GB Corsair Vengeance @ 1600MHz, ASUS GTX 560Ti DirectCU II 1GB, Samsung 830series 512GB SSD, Corsair AX850w, two BENQ screens and TM HOTAS Warthog DCS: A-10C Warthog FAQ | DCS: P-51D FAQ | Remember to read the Forum Rules | | | Life of a Game Tester
ARM505 Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 Continuing OT (sorry), here's one of that Hind that I took when I saw it at an airshow here (in Pretoria, South Africa). It was also used in the film 'Blood Diamond', in a vain attempt to kill Leonardo di Caprio (sp?) before he could mangle the South African accent any further. :) There's some technical gen on the poster for those with good eyes and who care.
26-J39 Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 Prophet, after watching the track file I observed the following. The second hind that you hit did kill the pilot, the hind itself was still flying as per it's previous flight path before the vikhr hit.. Seen this lots and can even happen to yourself where the pilot(yourself) is killed but the KA50 fly's along it's route like nothing happened. :) As for the hind flying through the mountains.. bug is all i can say.. This isn't a common occurrence, i have seen many AI helo still fly with no pilot but they do exploded on impact with the ground..
BlackFallout Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 I had this exact same thing happen with a AH-1 Cobra today, I landed a single missle on the cockpit and watched as it just kept flying in a huge circle forever.
Total Posted January 21, 2010 Posted January 21, 2010 I can't believe I'm gonna say this, but it just hit me......... Has anyone else ever noticed how the style of the gunships in Half Life 2 kinda favor the Hind? (Don't shoot me for referencing HL2....I liked the story line lol!)
Prophet4no1 Posted January 21, 2010 Author Posted January 21, 2010 I love the HL games. Lots of fun and great story. And yeah, the gunship dose kinda look like a Hind. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
