Heli landing bug

[Psycho]

When coming into land on a carrier with a heuy sorta fast they rods on the bottom of the heuy (forget what its called) get stuck in the carrier and pulls me down and when I try to take off it pulls me sideways or backwards. I'll get a SS soon

[Hietaa]

You using joystick?

If yes don't put your throttle all the way down because then your choppers tries to go downwards even when its sitting on the carrier causing it to get stuck. If you keep your engine power around 1% it won't get stuck and you can lift off without flipping your chopper.

I use a mouse and It happens when I come in to land at a fast speed and sometimes not so fast at all and my throttle is around 25%

This happened to me once a while back on muttrah. I was bored waiting for people to come in, so I decided to hold down my S key and then....my huey's rotor tail gets stuck under the carrier along with 1/4 of the huey. Luckly, I managed to pull free without risking any lives.

[Psycho]

I don't hold down the S key for me though I come in really fast and slide to land and it gets stuck.

i've heard that by dropping a box and spinning round you can pop the skids back up.
but i can't say for sure because i try to take it easy on landing so i don't cause this error

[Neo_Mapper]

never happened to me =O

also not while landing with 500km/h....

Well just like already said maybe by holding "S" down all the time this could happen.

I guess this is what you are talking about?

Happened to me in two different ways, but only on Barracuda, and only with the transports. The first time the skis were not all the way in the deck but slightly so I took off and my chopper did a complete backfield right into the water. Second time I couldn't move it at all it was simply stuck in the deck, and its happened to other people that I have seen in game.

I have had this happen on docks on muttrah, i land not very fast then drop a box and for some reason i can't take off.

So yea the skids are getting stuck in the ground.

Happened to me on Kashan. Landed the BH in the sand next to bunker. Guess I landed fast but it was also smooth. The BH then proceeded to get damaged little by little for no apparent reason and eventually blew up...

[goguapsy]

on kasahn i also had a BH and landed next to the bunker, smooth land. the gear got stuck on the ground

result i was walking along the sqd i transported trying to get a gun

you most likley damaged you BH soo much on landing that you got it into a critical damage state, ie, where its "burning" and in that time your meant to attempt an emergency landing.

Could you not hear fire or have an alarm telling you the chopper was critically damaged?

I've seen that before, landing down on the north side of Northern most north bunker-northnorthnorth-landing close to the bunker causes the BH to get stuck almost, the only movement it does is a little upward for 1m or so then immediately returns to the stuck state.

It really annoys me when people land helis like jets... go learn to fly a helicopter! they are Vertical take off!! Thats the whole point, so land it like it should be landed!!

Maybe this is why you are having a problem?

Helicopters will very rarely do a full vertical takeoff landing. Much safer and easier to apprach at speed and slow down for an almost vertical touchdown. In real life vertical landings have some problems.

In fact, the AH-64s in afghanistan iirc take off exactly like a plane, they taxi to the runway and build up speed along it before lifting off, due to temperature and weight.
