derodo Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Hi there, I know this is kind of a stupid question but...I just can't seem to make the dragging chute work when landing the Su-25T I know I have to press the 'P' key once I touched down and below 200Km/h...and I do so, and I can even see the little tail door opening up if I switch to the external view, but nothing is coming out of it. I made almost a perfect landing (the best I can do at least :), soft touch down, nothing goes wrong, but the chute just doesn't come out, and so I can only rely on the wheel brake and most of the times I just end up outside the runway :( I even made a stupid test, trying to release the chute just before taking off, and it worked! it was useless but it worked (of course I just quit the mission and start again without releasing the chute early on, so that is not the reason it doesn't come out afterwards :) What am I doing wrong? Maybe I'm still going too fast (200Km/h)? Is there any known bug preventing if from working right now? (I'm using v1.2.4.12913) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'm using v1.2.4.12913) Limit for drogue chute deployment is 300km/h. No known bug as far as I am aware - would you please post a track so we can have a look?

joey45 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Are your engines at idle? What airfield is this at? And most importantly............ A short track file. The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

159th_Viper Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Are your engines at idle? Ooooohhh yes forgot about that: The single-biggest reason for 'OMFGWTF where's my chute gone?' phenomenon usually experienced on very short runways.

derodo Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 Thanks for the responses guys. I'd say I got my engines idle, or so I think (as I pull the throttle all the way back). I tried again and it's the same. Not the best landing in history, but enough to see what is happening. I'm attaching the track file. You might have to scale time a bit with CTRL-Z to skip the flying part...and then back to normal with SHIFT-Z when landing. If you switch to the external view, you'll see the chute going out and the rope being broken...touch down speed was around 240Km/h, and throttle I'd say it's iddle, but I'm clearly doing something wrong...or maybe the throtle axis is not correctly calibrated and it's not at 0%. I'll try it again double chacking the throttle axis before, and landing at a lower speed.land_nochute.trk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
159th_Viper Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Just watched and your throttle is definitely at idle. What are you using to deploy the chute? The keyboard? Or your flight-stick? Could be a sticky key. Novice or Veteran looking for an alternative MP career? Click me to commence your Journey of Pillage and Plunder!

derodo Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 Ok I tried again and this time it worked. I went to the game controls and played a bit with the throttle axis settings, just for making sure it was correctly reporting 0% when it was all the way back. Clicked on the invert axis twice...I know that jast made nothing but just in case... :P The touch down was around 210Km/h this time, and I waited a little bit before pressing P to make sure I was below 200Km/h...and it just worked... So there was no bug as expected...it was just me being not skilled enough I guess. Or maybe that stupid axis tweaking somehow changed something...who knows :) Thanks anyway guys for the help, and sorry for the inconvience.
