knightlite 0 Posted July 9, 2003 One of my favorite missions to play on my home LAN with my brother is Chopper War. We put in 2 choppers and crates with AA launchers and then go head to head in the choppers. After a while one of us shoot out the others engine. I would like it if you hold the down key while falling you build up power and then you can press the up key briefly to do a softer landing. This would be helpful for the people who load 20 men into a chinook and don't have time to eject them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tamme 0 Posted July 9, 2003 That would be good. Right now you can't do any kind of crash-landings, you just blow up in pieces. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GAMEER_77 0 Posted July 9, 2003 There's some kind of thing (don't know the name) where, when the engine is off/damaged, you press on the "decline" key and it uses the rotor's shape and the air or something to make a softer landing.... Just try and see Might not work very well on big choppers. Gameer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harnu 0 Posted July 9, 2003 If your engine cuts out, hold decline and keep the chopper somewhat straight. It'll bring you down, but you wont blow up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bn880 5 Posted July 9, 2003 Ok then, since this something liek the 3rd thread about this I'll add: Let us have realistic autorotation landings with full control and no hard coded 50m setting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GAMEER_77 0 Posted July 9, 2003 Lol, did no one see my post? By "decline" I mean descend....to go down....y'know. Not the same as auto-rotation, though - That'd be good. Gameer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
knightlite 0 Posted July 9, 2003 I have done some testing and Auto-rotational landings exist, but the conditions to make one are so remote they will never happen in a battle. The contitions are <50m <170KM and holding Desend when the engine goes. If you are not holding the descend button there is no hope. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
