Misplaced and non-functional interaction-icons on several helicopters

[radical.ghost 0]

Hi,

while playing the game in career mode I stumbled over a few bugs with the interaction-icons on different helicopters.

1.

There is an issue with one of the smaller side-doors on the medium type helicopters, when you open it, the interaction-icon moves on top of the chopper instead of moving with the door when it opens.

So you cannot reach it and therefore you can not close the door again.

2.

Also the maintenance panels on the heavy type helicopter from Vrana Corp won't open in the career mode, so you cannot inspect your helicopter properly.

3.

There is also a misplaced interaction-icon on the heavy type helicopters that have a rear-gunner position.

The icon for the "get in as rear gunner" - action is placed on the right side of the anti torque rotor in the air and is not reachable.

This prevents from boarding that helicopter as rear gunner.

Maybe there are more issues with interaction-icons on other helicopters to find.

I created a cit-ticket here:

I started a thread about a related topic on the Steam forums: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2206529

There are sometimes unknown problems on the helicopters that cannot be found and inspected. I hold down ALT to see the inspection points, so I know I haven't missed any.

On the medium chopper that was your dad's only Engine #1 can be found an inspected and I know that helicopter has two engines. The inspection points for Engine #1 appears on both sides of the chopper when opening the left hatch, even if the right hatch is closed, and opening the right hatch has no effect what so ever.

I'm not logged on Steam, so I'll write here instead. Actually you have overlooked for two possible malfunctons - Those are batteries and hydraulics. For checking the battery just turn it on and if it is malfunctioned, one of Unknown problem on the list will change into Minor/Major malfunction: Battery or something like that. For checking the hydraulics just simply move the cyclic in every direction, then push and pull the collective (something like from 50% to 0% and then to 100%). And of course, don't forget the pedals too.

Once i discover the faults, is that it? Or do i have to order some repairs to actually fix found problems

Once you've discovered all problems, they are automatically repaired (you'll see the maintenance option in the Helicopters menu says no further repairs are necessary). I'll admit this is not communicated very clearly, so we'll try to look at that for a patch.

If you have not found all problems, or none at all, you can still do repairs, but it will costs some money. The more you find, the closer the cost goes to $0. We did not want finances to block normal career progression :)

Also, the issues above will be looked at for sure (engine #2 and some hard-to-reach hatches for example).
