shawnyp420 Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 (edited) Seconds after wheels up and oddly...at the same moment I raised the landing gear switch and flaps up - I hit a bird! I think anyway...the left engine stopped and caught fire. Took me about 3 seconds to get the handle pulled and discharged. Fun! Are birds modeled in the game? Would I be able to see it get sucked in?birdstrike.trk Edited June 12, 2011 by shawnyp420 AMD Ryzen 5 3600, ASUS X570-PLUS, NVidia RTX 2080, 32GB DDR4 @2400MHz, Samsung 850 EVO 250GB, Corsair H100i cooler, Oculus Rift S.
GGTharos Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 Yes. :) You won't see them, they are modeled as a probability. You are most likely to hit a bird on take off or landing.

RodBorza Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 Yes, they are. In the Options, on the gameplay tab, you'll see an option for birds. It is a slider that sets how much bird presence in the game you would allow. This is an amazing sim! 'Nuff said!:pilotfly: YouTube: SloppyDog
shawnyp420 Posted June 12, 2011 Author Posted June 12, 2011 The bird slider is set to 100% but the random failures was turned off. Must have been a bird eh? That was a lot of fun! Blew a tire though on landing...I didn't seem to have much breaking power, even with the right engine and when I threw in the emergency break (even with anti-skid on) the breaks seemed to lock up and I spun out - nose high.

GGTharos Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 It's a very heavy plane, try to use airbrakes to slow to 50kts or less before using brakes. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
Frostiken Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 IIRC you should turn anti-skid off if you have only one engine, otherwise it tends to suck your hydraulics away to parts unknown. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
REL Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 Yes. :) You won't see them, they are modeled as a probability. You are most likely to hit a bird on take off or landing. I say ... give them beak, wings and damage model + some red and white marks for the plane and we good to go ... :smilewink:
213 Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 when can put bird models in the game? i can make bird models and textures for dcs team.
Bucic Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 when can put bird models in the game? i can make bird models and textures for dcs team. Can you do a 3D model of pure mathematical probability? ;) 1 F-5E simpit cockpit dimensions and flight controls Kill the Bloom - shader glow mod Poor audio Doppler effect in DCS [bug] Trees - huge performance hit especially up close
VMFA117_Poko Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 Can you do a 3D model of pure mathematical probability? ;) Yes. When probability taking place it could be animation link to A10 model so even if plane will turn to avoid the bird, it will be sucked always in right place (intake) :D

Conure Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 There is only one thing this game is missing.... FULL DX11 RENDERED BIRD GUTS AND BLOOD EFFECTS ON THE CANOPY! Then I'll be happy.

Brakes are normally powered by the L hydraulic system. Lose the L engine and you need to pull the yellow handle to switch to a reservoir powered by R HYD to give you brake pressure. You will not have anti skid though, so opt for a long runway, AD brake and then brake gently. BTW, no real rush pulling the fire handle. Sort out the aircraft first, then pull - too many accidents have happened due to air crew focusing on broken systems rather than flying in the critical phase of taking off - and thats in multi-crew environments. You have another engine and a firewall. ----- Introduction to UTM/MGRS - Trying to get your head around what trim is, how it works and how to use it? - DCS helos vs the real world.
