I have this kinda little problem which maybe doesn't care anything.
When i'm in Huey, Blackhawk and all sort of choppers as driver, it moves littlebig foward when landing, i don't know is this bug. But can you help me with this

I'm not sure what you meant by this, but I think that you mean the chopper slides on the landing pad when landed and idling? This also happens with the havoc and apache afaik but I've never seen it from a huey or BH.

BTW if you hold down S key on the carrier with a huey the rear end of the landing skids sinks down into the carrier frame

I have seen the sliding with the Huey and Blackhawk, it would be great if it was fixed.

This is such an old bug that I have a feeling there's something BF2ish or hardcoded about it. I can't possibly believe it hasn't been reported until now.

All helicopters slide forward when landed, the Apache being the exception as it slides backwards, possibly the Havoc aswell.

Yea this thing always bugged me.I thought it was reported.

same.

or i thought it was just the wheeled helis rolled while the skidded didnt (thats how it is for me)

This issue is also in vBF2.

it has something to do with the throttle.
since im using pedals i dont have the problem anymore when i slightly touch the brake

A bigger one is the cobra rolls to the left or right while on the ground.

Hate alt-tabbing in that one, got me killed more then once

Yep, all choppers slide. The Apache will actually slide forward like the others while first warming up but then slides backwards the rest of the time.
When I use my joystick if I push the throttle forward but not enough to take off it will become unnoticeable or stop completely.

To be honest, I don't see this as a major bug at all. A good pilot leaves his helo "idle" at 50% throttle (50% as in the throttle stick in middle, NOT 50% throttle on the hud indicator) which takes the weight off of the helos wheels/skids. So to fix this, just leave the throttle at 50% right after the warm up and when landed.

For you keyboard and mouse guys:

The only serious bug that actually affects gameplay is the huey-carrier landing bug in which the huey's skids get stuck "inside" the surface of the carrier if you don't leave the throttle idle at 50%. This bug almost always leads to much harder takeoffs as the huey seems to be "stuck" to the carrier. In a few odd occasions, a crash may occur due to a roll caused by the carriers "sticky surface".

Hope this feedback helps.

Negative throttle on a slope will make your chopper to move forward

Good way to avoid chopper moving when warming up is to open the console.

The Lynx will slide all over the place if you lower the throttle too much. I've landed a squad and throttled down to much and ended up whacking them all into the wall. It slides around in a circle.

Well you could just not touch the throttle warming up. And landing come to a hover just above the ground a tap s once once to get down and don't touch anything else until you need to lift off.

Yes it's annoying but if you just work your way around it like what i said above. It's not really too much a of a problem.
