Mi-8 doesn't stay still on the ground when rotor turning and wheel brakes applied
Awaiting internal Testing, NormalPublic

Description

Game Version number: 1.2.1.169
Modded?: No

Issue Description:

The Mi-8 Helicopter has a tendancy to slide on the ground after the engine is fired up, even with the brakes applied, which is really frustrating cause many times if the safe area in the landing zone is really tight (for exemple trees or buildings around), the helicopter will slowly slide away and the rotor will break by colliding into one of the obstacles.

Please make so that the helcipter remain standstill if the wheels brakes are applied. The tires should have a lot more grip on the ground.

Edit : I confirm that this is a bug because the Mi-8 starts moving on its own on the ground just after starting the engine (rotor isn't even spinning yet). The whole heli starts to turn on the ground for no reason.

Thank you

Hello,

I could be wrong, but I believe it is likely a feature rather than a bug. In real life, the Mi-8 rotates slightly left upon takeoff due to the torque effect of its motor, although I would agree that it rotates a bit more aggressively in the game then I think it would IRL. Furthermore, the rotation has been occurring since the Mi-8 was introduced into the game nearly a year ago and I have not heard anything from the devs about it in the Discord.

Hi,

Yes I agree with you for the effect of torque, but as you say it is upon takeoff, when the heli is on ground it shouldn't move an inch. I think this is a bug that was not adressed since the launch of helicopters. Even when you try to make the heli stick to the ground by applying downward force with the collective it continues to slide on the ground, very annoying.
It really feels like a jerky movement that was not intended.

Mi-8 starts rotating by itself on the ground is a bug, and has costed me many tail rotors.
