Ka-50 keeps swinging...

[Devrim]

Hi. I'm sorry if this problem discussed before...

 

While just flying for fun, I did bad landing. The blades stopped but Ka-50... :)

 

Please watch that; (This video is not public.)

 

 

I'm not questioning the physics of this game. But I wonder how a bug is that?

 

Thanks.

Here is a uneducated guess:

 

The physical-mathematical model of the terrain is not really representing what you see, and it is very simplified...

 

.... the engine keeps on polling if the airframe will fall to the left or right - short: It can't decide.

(Maybe because a programmer didn't really found it useful to spend hundreds of hours to see where this simplified vehicle-gerund interaction will fail.)

I played and tried to create same acciadent without damaging gears. I damaged lower blades and landed in the same way that seen in video (tried four times). This time Ka-50 didn't swing. May be the factor in my video was the front-gear... or I don't know...

 

But, in my opinion, yes actually it's also related the physical-mathematical model of the terrain as you said. Because, in some crash situations such as on the ground or mountain, Ka-50' body never stops. Even fire has been extinguished, Ka-50's body always moves like nonsense. That's because of terrain issue I think...

 

Make better landings :)

:D :D Definitely. :)

it might be dynamic rollover

pivot around a wheel gear then the helo spin and become uncontrollable

but damaging one rotor should spin your helo too

so there is a bug if your helo doesn't spin in other test

Oh, I think I should have typed that I shut off the engines after every landing.

The problem is that engines & blades stop, but body still moves.

In second test that everything was like how it should be. Because the gears wasn't damaged.

 

While typing these, I got an idea. I'll be back if found something. :p

you broke the rotor so the bottom rotor wasn't able to negate the torque made by the top one.

Thanks but, what is this answer for?

Yes but that shouldn't happen after the rotors have stopped moving.

You're seeing the sim equivalent of the old first person shooter model 'ragdoll' flopping around - remember the first shooters that used 'ragdoll' physics? Sometimes the corpses would jerk around after they've been 'killed' and were just laying there. The physics model keeps bouncing a part from one side to the other. Same here.

This explains the spinning, but not the swinging after engines are off.
