450Devil Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 When I land my UH-1H on the flight deck of the carrier it slides forward along the deck (even when the motor is shut down) until it falls over the ship's bow. Is it possible to increase the deck friction value so that the UH-1H does not slide off the carrier's deck?
BRooDJeRo Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 The ships speed must be 0 knots for deck operations. Perhaps heavy weather too which makes the ships rock allot.
450Devil Posted September 30, 2013 Author Posted September 30, 2013 Thank BRooDJeRo. However as the ship was going ahead at about 7 kph and there was no wind, it is very surprising for the Huey to also slide forward along the deck. The physics are all wrong. If anything, the Huey should slide backwards as the wind over the deck would be from right ahead.
BRooDJeRo Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 For setting up something Naval you indeed need to work around some features. - Ship with helipad speed at 0 - No dynamic weather, Manual weather with preffered 0 windspeeds at sea level - Use the AI on/off function in a triggered combination with a moving zone on the ship to make it stop moving when you want the ships to go around the sea while using it as a homebase. - Repair is functional, but results in an aircraft crash. So no repairs on ships.

Therefore, this thread should not have been moved to the Belsimtek forums. Edited October 1, 2013 by VincentLaw [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
BRooDJeRo Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 The man had no clue and was brought up to speed.
bin801 Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Met same problem, hope put this problem at bug list . Now, I can only takeoff immediatlely after I land on deck, or my aircraft will sink deep six. I hope I can land on deck and have a cup of tea.
Rangi Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 I assume something will be done about it for the DCS F-18C module. Like all things DCS I'm sure it's on the to-do list and will take some time to fix..... PC: 6600K @ 4.5 GHz, 12GB RAM, GTX 970, 32" 2K monitor.
McBlemmen Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 I noticed this yesterday... i cant believe there's a thread about it from 2013 and its still not fixed...
msalama Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 why hasn't ED addressed it, lol... Maybe fixing it would've forced a huge code rewrite and they just didn't deem that worthwhile and concentrated on EDGE instead? Just guessing ;) The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.
ebabil Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 Maybe fixing it would've forced a huge code rewrite and they just didn't deem that worthwhile and concentrated on EDGE instead?

Yurgon Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 That's gonna be one helluva letdown on the F/A-18C module if acft carriers continue to be... worthless, when it's released, LoL Predicting future events by deducting what would happen if exactly one variable was going to be changed... helluva way to spend your time in "if... then..." discussions. ;) But since there's no western carrier aircraft available yet, it doesn't matter so much, or does it? :music_whistling: :D Back on topic, I once had a mission where I had to land the Huey on an aircraft carrier moving at some 20 knots IIRC and I could stay there for about a minute before it started to get close to the edge. As long as you don't need to precisely land and remain at a specific spot on the carrier, it should currently be tolerable (far from perfect, but tolerable) IMO.
QuiGon Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 This problem will be fixed when the DCS F/A-18 Hornet arrives (if not earlier) since this module will bring an entirely new deck operations system to DCS. Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!
