When flying the AH-99, I find I am losing the tail rotor ("ATRQ") very often, just by reflexively trying to correct for side-slip.
Example video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkNCxD6HXII&t=3m40s
Taking into account that real Comanche should be able to do a strafe at around 180 kph (#9780), the Comanche/Blackfoot's fenestron must have quite a lot of power and should not be knocked out just by using its full authority
1.Start the game
2.Open "GAME" options
3.Enable AFM and all options for it (especially "Stress damage")
4.Open editor on any map
5.Place a "player" AH-99 Blackfoot
6.Take off, accelerate until you reach 200 kph horizontal speed
3.Apply right rudder sharply
*Observed*:
Fenestron is damaged and disabled
*Expected*:
Helicopter should be perfectly operable
Hello,
i'm unable to reproduce the issue. Could you please provide more info? Thank you.
Hi Adam,
I'll try to, not sure what more can I say
The issue is that if you apply rudder sharply (for example, press E or press right pedal "instantly") in a horizontal flight at 200 kph with advanced flight model enabled, the ATRQ rotor blows out.
For more reliable repro you can try combining the motions - try to zig-zag rudders, or make a coordinated turn (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_flight#Coordinating_the_turn) to the right side
I'm not sure what other information I can provide, it is happening to me regularly just with those conditions. No mods, stable branch, Advanced Flight Model enabled, reproduces for me with Saitek X-52, Saitek X-55, keyboard. Video above shows how it looks (that sharp metal squeaking).
I've had the same issue. DarkWanderer and I both use rotorlib in the Blackfoot.
I've only experienced it with stress damage enabled. I was flying straight and level when mine went out yesterday.
Updated repro steps - I didn't notice stress damage is enabled separately, thought it was part of AFM.
