Madcow_001 1 Posted March 9, 2012 Upon completing 'The Cove' Mission, I believe I landed too hard and broke the blades of my heli. No problem, I'll just wear the maintenance costs - I thought! Next mission was a flashback mission which I completed. When trying to take the next mission/contract I get the message 'Helicopter is too broken'. Sure, I will do the maintenance, then I will be able to fly? Wrong. The blades are still broken all over the place and I get the same message when I take the contract. Okay, I will redo The Cove. Nope, blades still broken - Helicopter is too damaged. Tried to revert to the flashback mission... strange when I get past the 2nd savepoint of this mission my heli just up and 'crashes'. Helicpoter is too damaged. Fine, I will just restart the whole damn career!!! Doing the first mission and when I get to the second savepoint (at the guy's compound) the heli just up and 'crashes' midair. MY HELICPOPTER is too damaged. Fine, Fine, FINE! I'll just start a new profile. Wait.. now my joystick/throttle (Saitek X52Pro) won't work. Check all the otpions, just like my original profile, but still NO GO. I tried deleting the two files in my Docs\Take on Helis and guess what? Now joystick controls won't work with default profile. Restore those two files and I can control the heli again, but it still crashes mid-air in the mission as before. Over 8 hrs in this game and getting seriously frustrated. FWIW I want my money back. :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DnA 5162 Posted March 9, 2012 It's a shame you're experiencing these issues. Have you tried to disable stress damage in the difficulty options? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slapstick 10 Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) I am experiencing similar problems replaying the campaign, that is I will be flying along (not doing anything out of the ordinary) when I get the message that my helicopter is too damaged and I go spinning out of control. I assumed it is related to this: DnA said: We believe we've identified the biggest problem facing the Medium currently. When flying forward at around 150 kph, lowering collective and raising the nose slightly, you damage the tail rotor. It gets more and more damaged until you spin out of control. Working on the fix for this first, so we can address other potential issues. I've re-calibrated by joystick (an old Microsoft Force Feedback 2), reset to defaults etc., and that did seem to help abit, at least it allowed me to complete the first mission, but now on the first "flashback" mission the problem has returned. I will try disabling stress damage and see if that makes a difference. Edited March 12, 2012 by Slapstick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
