Booger Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 People in glass houses.. Lol uhm... Parody is one thing, but damn. I really hate to point out the obvious, but there's a big difference between poking someone's ribs and kicking them square between the legs.

G3 Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 i swear we get our skirts caught in our undies sometimes. ok so back to the "friendly competition" which was the original idea i climbed to 4700 metres last night and thought that was alright, i guess those with higher figures must be increasing power or dumping weapons? because that's all she had captain :) as for max speed i hate that alarm so i try to stay under it :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Booger Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Apologies if I came off aggressively short to you or anyone else in this topic. It just kind of irked me about how this guy is trying to do something he considers fun & is referred to (as I read it) as a friendless idiot for doing it (the "challenge"). I just think it's cool that he's at least trying to do something openly with the BS community. +1 from me for, if anything, the effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speed Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Well, I forgot what elevation it was, but I was trying to land on the top of Mount Elbrus one night. I believe it's well over 5000 meters. I had no problems getting up that high. Problem is, you can't hover at that altitude, there is no flat spot, and black shark requires that your helicopter be in a near perfect hover to land on terrain without tipping over. Intelligent discourse can only begin with the honest admission of your own fallibility.

PhoenixBvo Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Ok, so there we have a nice variation: Who can show a track/vid of a controlled landing on the summit of mount Elbrus? :) I'm at it!

Waldo_II Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 (edited) I tried going for highest altitude just now. Starting from a ramp start, full realism, I made it to 6,517 meters before something happened and I started falling. Rotor collision I guess. I managed to take this screenshot before DCS crashed (the program, not the helicopter). I kept fuel at a minimum and tried to keep my airspeed as close to 130 as I could. Here I am flying just seconds before collision. I had a max IAS warning going on, and a rotor RPM warning (which I turned off). There was no wind on, I wonder why the groundspeed was 30kph greater than my airspeed. PhoenixBvo, I accepted your challenge and had no problems.

CE_Mikemonster Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Wow.. 20,000 ft in a helicopter. Not saying it's impossible, but surprised me at a glance. Too many cowboys. Not enough indians. GO APE SH*T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobek Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 There was no wind on, I wonder why the groundspeed was 30kph greater than my airspeed. Due to low air pressure at altitude. It's the main reason why jetliners fly so high. ;) Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaOneSix Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I wonder why the groundspeed was 30kph greater than my airspeed. Post above is correct. To get your true airspeed, a good rul of thumbe is to add 2% of your indicated airspeed for every 1,000 feet of altitude. The 2% is variable based on temperature, but it's pretty close. So if your indicated aispeed is 130km/hr and you are at roughly 20,000 feet MSL, then you would add 52km/hr (20,000ft/1,000=20, 20*2%=40%, 40%*130km/hr=52km/hr). Making your true airspeed 182km/hr at 20,000ft with an indicated aispeed of 130km/hr. In your screenshot, it would go like this: Altitude is 6,500m, or 21,325ft. This makes your "2% per 1,000 feet come out to 42.65. 42.65% of your indicated airspeed of 132km/hr is 56km/hr (rounded). Adding 56 to 132 gives you a true airspeed of 188km/hr. Your ABRIS looks like it says 196km/hr, so perhaps the game is taking temperature into account and the 2% per 1,000ft is not accurate enough, but it's pretty close. The ground speed on your HUD is from the doppler, and if that thing is accurate at 21,000ft, then the Russians have created one hell of an awesome doppler. I would certainly say that your ABRIS ground speed is more accurate than your doppler ground speed at that altitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixBvo Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 PhoenixBvo, I accepted your challenge and had no problems. :thumbup: Cool! That looked like a walk in the park :music_whistling:. I have been too busy to try yet, but I'll try to copy that as soon as I can. For those max altitude attempts, I noticed your tanks were almost empty. Makes sense to carry as little as possible.

Waldo_II Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I believe that the reason why landing was so easy/smooth at that altitude was because of the rotor-in-ground effect. In the video I entered a state very close to a hover right before touchdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke.S Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 hi all bs pilots.. can you to better then i did ie in this is the challenge gets all the glory the be the number 1 pilot..in bs community or so and have the fame too.. break (my) numbers and safely to ground..ie: highest allitude number counts hightest speed number counts (after highest alt, dive speed counts, not uncontrol bs doenst count) = ur a winner + landing safely .. (dont loose birds control in the dive = loose control doesnt cout) anyone up for a challenge... ? good if u can make a video to youtube so we see is their anyones cheating or so .. break my numbers ..;D highest alt: 3478 meters highest dive speed:331 km/h have fun guys :) beat your speed with a tail wind (and a hornet on my tail) 655 km/h lets just say the hornet couldn't keep up :P didn't lose control but couldn't start my engines back up due to bullet damage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixBvo Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 lets just say the hornet couldn't keep up :P :huh: Are you talking about the insect? Cause an F-18 would have no problems with that speed.... In which case I'm wondering how you could have survived such a chase.
