I had my left engine catch fire on take off last night; could it have been a bird strike? There was no indication on the dials of any over temps etc.

I had my left MFCD fry in the middle of one of the training missions. Annoying to have to start it over again, but AWESOME that there are this kind of failure simulated. One thing that I never did check out - there was a red boxed error message on the right MFCD and I didn't see any obvious way to get rid of it if I was on a mission and wanted to continue with just the one MFCD.

time delay 23mm shell that just happened to be timed to explode on landing

 

Huh? Is this a real life thing? Is it modeled in the game? If it is, how would a shell with a barometric sensitive fuse (only technical way I can think of to do this in reality) know what the altitude of your home airfield is, so as to explode on landing? Th person setting the fuse would have to know your airfield altitude. Weird, and unlikely. Maybe you were joking? :)

 

 

I've had this problem with my gear. One airfield has a big (invisible) pothole in the taxiway, it blows a tire every time at the same spot in the taxiway. Had this happen on takeoff once too. Ripped the nose gear off just before rotating.

It seems like there's something at Nalchik. Get more tire explosions there than anywhere- about 2/3 way down on takeoff run..

 

I admit that it could be an illusion of numbers. Nalchik aerodrome has been used extensively in popular server missions like "Cherkessk".. who knows.. But on the other hand- this "Separatist" mission is being ran a LOT recently in MP out of Kopitnari-- have not seen a lot of this..

feckin DCS deer ran out in front of you...

 

stop joking... I had a RW encounter with a deer on a runway in germany...:cry:

that fu..er stayed until the last second...:joystick: and my plane had no fancy antiskid...or ABS. I was looking for my horn the whole time and applying manual antiskid breaking....:smilewink:

 

Lucky me, he decided to run away when I screamed at him...he must have felt my anger :doh:

 

I will never forget that landing....

Former colleague of mine hit a deer with a C172... while airborne! It jumped out on the runway when he was early in the flare, went under the propeller, between the nose and main gear and hit the empennage, missing the stab. About the only place it could hit without doing damage! He went around and then tried each main in turn, hoping he'd still have a nose gear when lowering the nose after landing.

 

Then the interesting part came. Here, you are legally required to report hitting a deer to the police. After they got to the part where they asked about his vehicle, they told him to stop wasting their time calling when drunk and hung up on him. :megalol:

even tho it was very nice landing and all, the runway seemed to be veeery bouncy, atleast in the video, maybe it's a bug that the ground/grass is actually over the tarmac..? as if you were landing on the grass.

WOOOOoooooo
