theJournier Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Most Weird or Stupid Death/Crashes you've had with DCS: Here's mine: I was learning how to bomb on the SU-25T. I was still struggling with the controls so I had trouble aiming. So I dropped a bomb, and tried to maneuver the sight so I could drop some more a little more accurately... and Kaboom!! I crashed with my own bomb in mid air.
K2mil Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Wierd or Stupid Deaths... I think they usually have to do with being new with control devices. For me it was when I got ruder pedals. After completely perfect mission in A10 time to formation land with the wingman. After touch down I want on his side of runway and we both exploded ...Actually in think he catapulted lol INTEL CORE I7 6700K ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VIII HERO ASUS ROG GTX1080Ti Strix OC 16GB @ 4100 MHz |CORSAIR Intel 730 SSD 240GB Corsair 850 W Modular PSU Corsair Obsidian 650d Logitech X-56 HOTAS ,Saitek X-65F HOTAS, Pro Ruder Pedals, Pro Flight Instrument Panel NP TrackIr 5 Pro Windows 10 PRO
Grim_Smiles Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) One I caught on video but never got around to uploading yet. Not a death but a crash. I was in the mission editor and was setting up a one-on-one dog fight between me in a mustang and an AI 190. I wanted to set up both fighters to be at close range head-on so that when I entered the sim we would immediately enter the merge. Problem was that when zooming in while placing the pony and 190, I zoomed in way too much. What I thought was an enemy 50 to 100 feet in front of me was something along the lines of 5 to 10 feet. When the sim loaded, that little screen you get in the paused sim before hitting fly was enough to block the 190 from my view. I hit the button to start thinking nothing was amiss, then POW RIGHT IN THE KISSER. Scared the :censored: out of me as all I hear is BANG through my headset the second I started. The AI 190 reacted (I did not as it was over before I knew something was wrong) and started to veer to one side apparently but we still hit. It wrecked my engine and my landing gear was jammed. The 190 lost a wing and was on fire. I glided my plane back to a not so smooth landing at the nearby runway. I am now more careful when zooming in and placing units in the mission editor.
