Depth Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Was taking off on a map of The Serpents Head when SLAM, GAU-8/A-steering. Last time I took off from Vaziani there was also a SLAM but nothing happened so I took off as planned. On external view I noticed a big black spot on the left engine. Anyone else run into this?

slug88 Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Just a guess, did you forget to turn off nosewheel steering before 70kts? 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Depth Posted June 15, 2011 Author Posted June 15, 2011 (edited) I usually turn it off just as it hits 50, but I'll view the track again to check Edit: Yep, turned off NWS at ~50 IAS. The nosewheel snapped off at ~115 IAS. Edited June 15, 2011 by Depth [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Iceman2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 That's not a formula you know, might wanna slow down a bit in taxiway and ease with throttle, maybe these don't happen again
Snoopy Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 I've noticed some airfields have bad spots on the runway and taxiways that cause blown tires could be that... v303d Fighter Group Discord | Virtual 303d Fighter Group Website
Depth Posted June 15, 2011 Author Posted June 15, 2011 (edited) I usually use the time feature on long taxi runs (which is why you see the unstable wobble and too high speeds in the track) but I was dicking around on another flight and managed to takeoff from the taxi strip then land on the runway with no problems, with roughly the same loadout and weight. Only run into this problem at Vaziani. On a side note, watching the plane scrape along the runway at 120 knots supported by a gatling gun is mindblowingly awesome Edited June 15, 2011 by Depth [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Iceman2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 You got to grass from taxiway, you never were in runway, you were on grass about 50 meters of your starting spot. Asked there takeoff clearance 4 times and took off on grass, well sort of took off...
Depth Posted June 15, 2011 Author Posted June 15, 2011 I was never on the grass. I took off from the same spot the AI takes off from. I asked for clearance 4 times because I didn't see or notice the helicopter on the runway. Are we on the same patch here? Or am I not part of the formula. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Iceman2011 Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 this is getting funny - saved your trk on my machine - check it out - it's your track same trackwat-saved-on-my-comp.trk
Insanatrix Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 As Paul mentioned there are spots on some runways that will somehow rip your gear off. I've run into quite a few of them at different runways actually.
Depth Posted June 16, 2011 Author Posted June 16, 2011 this is getting funny - saved your trk on my machine - check it out - it's your track same track It's identical from my point of view, except 0.05MB smaller. Is it different for you? Did I make it to the runway on your track? :lol: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Iceman2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 (edited) weird.... no you drove off taxiway on the grass and got stuck there then engines full and started to move and nosegear went kaboom. Ths is really weird how can it show it differently on my machine?!?!? I have 1.1.0.8. Could someone else see the trk and tell what happens in there, or is my machine just like weird or sum?

etchasketch Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 This has happened to me too: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=75367
Iceman2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 etchasketch Your video showed normally to me, you took off and nice fireworks
FlyingBrick Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 I'll be damned, just lost my nose wheel while taking off from Vaziani! I must have been near rotate speed since it bounced me into the air.:D
etchasketch Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 etchasketch Your video showed normally to me, you took off and nice fireworks Iceman2011, that's two tracks now where you see different behaviour than what was recorded. I suggest you look into whether your installation is correct. Have you updated to 1.1.0.8?
Frostiken Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 It's pretty common knowledge that the track replay system is iffy at best. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Irregular programming Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 I wouldn't trust track recordings as far as I could throw Manhattan. As Paul mentioned there are spots on some runways that will somehow rip your gear off. I've run into quite a few of them at different runways actually. Yep, I've found a couple of these as well, some places just completely obliterate your landing gears irregardless off your current speed.
MasterZelgadis Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 No Nosewheel Crash here, took off in both directions... (1.1.0.8 x86)NoNosewheelCrash.trk "Sieh nur, wie majestätisch du durch die Luft segelst. Wie ein Adler. Ein fetter Adler." http://www.space-view.net
Iceman2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 (edited) Ghost in the machine .... s ? Only one track showed different in my machine, yours was like it happened, green plane at runway takeoff, nosegear blown off for awhile etchasketch. Really would like to know how can a .trk, show different actions depending on machine it's run on. Shouldn't be anything wrong with my installation, I have latest version, and all other .trks btw I have downloaded, have been normal. MasterZelgadis your track showed you gaining speed at runway, then started turn too much right, you tried to raise the nose, it didn't, continue to turn right and finally you were on grass, runway ended, aaaand at full speed on grass booooooom. x86... hmmmm Edited June 16, 2011 by Iceman2011
MasterZelgadis Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Maybe some great differences between tracks recorded/played in 32 bit and 64 bit versions... "Sieh nur, wie majestätisch du durch die Luft segelst. Wie ein Adler. Ein fetter Adler." http://www.space-view.net
Iceman2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 So did your track happen as I said or is it different?
MasterZelgadis Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 In 32 bit version I take off (tanking longer than normal to test the runway for that bad spot), turning left, testing around with the trim system, landing, taking off the other direction, trying to fly through an open hangar (which happened to be a not so open airport terminal :D), and landing again... I will upload a video to youtube. When I play my track in 64 bit version, it happens like you said.

Iceman2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 kk, looks like we're getting something here, truly looks like 32, 64 issue then
Shez Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 I've lost the front on takeoff before. Don't remember what airport though. Tossed the front end up in the air and i was airborn. Did some Damage assessment and the front wheel was gone and couldn't raise the front gear. I'm thinking some of the cracks in the concrete runways are larger than graphically shown. _:Windows 10 64 Bit, I7 3770 3.4Ghz, 16 Gigs Ram, GTX 960, TM Warthog, Track IR 5 w/Pro Clip:_
