I just notice that when you try take off in the apache it kinda sticks to the ground... i dont know what the error is and it may be my machine but irt would be nice to see a fix to that.

(Random) Maybe another nice thing would be no points awarded for people who suicidally fly into you or other things... amybe even negative

you mean the Cobra?theres no apache in BF2

i have it too. its the game not just you. when you hit up it sticks then allmost jumps in to the air. ive never flown a heli before lol but i dont think it would be like that somwhat.

yeah sorry my bad the Cobra...

Maybe someone parked the helo on some wet concrete?

It happens to me too. Dont worry about it that much though.

yeah it does it to me to, i dont know much about helis or anything,i always just assumed it was some gravity thing haha.

Parked helis take a long time to take off, like in RL, this isnt a bug

They won't stick to the ground thou, and suddenly jump up in the air. Unless you were stuck to the ground, eg. Mud, Ice. Which is what has called a lot of helo pilot's death. Dynamic Rollover. It nearly happend to me once when were doing navigation and had a practice engine failure. The ground looked fine from above, but sank the skids atleast 3" down into the soft dirt. You get out of it by slowly shaking the skids free, moving forward, scraping along the ground. If you don't come up first, you're going to add too much torque and topple over to one side.

are you talking about when you first get in to the choper? if you are then you are simply trying to take off while your engin is geting the roters up to speed. the jump you see could be when the roters finly get up to speed you are alredy pushing the button so it then jumps in to action. but this sinking you are talking about wold be cool if it could be worked in. and while we are talking about chopers, can some one look into fixing the way that the mec attack helo takes off, it always piches back and it causes a lot of truble for a lot of people. tho i don't know how you wold go about fixing it.

arch enemy-
parked helis do take a while to get off the ground but i have to agree, it does seem a little sticky, i can understand that it takes a while to get your torque up to the right point but when mine is at 100% it still sticks for a minute, then i can come back and land, sit there til the torque is about 25% or so, then hit the gas and be back in the air at 50%... its a little inconsistant.

i think the real problem is the rate at which the torque rises, when the chopper first starts up, it should take longer, where as after you rearm/repair(maybe in PR refuel ) and the engines already warm the torque should go up faster.

just going by what would make sense to me, im no helicopter pilot.
