ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:
The cargo glitches when encountering updrafts (I believe that’s what causes the problem). It starts moving in every direction — above the aircraft, to the left, to the right, even up to 100 meters away.

Additionally, my copilot is standing in the center of the helicopter, and I can see their feet through the floor.

If applicable, which aircraft is experiencing this issue:
Airbus H-125 Cargo variant.

[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?
Not related to any mods, I don’t use them in career mode.

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?
8 out of 10 missions are affected by this problem. Mountain terrain increases the probability.

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

  1. Pick up your cargo.
  2. Start your climb and reach a vertical speed greater than +1000 fpm and at least 50/60kts.
  3. Fly near the edge of, or over, a mountain.
  4. You will see a penalty for cargo integrity.
  5. You will see the cargo moving erratically, the aircraft isn’t affected by it.

YOUR SETTINGS

If the issue still occurs with no mods and add-ons, please continue to report your issue. If not, please move this post to the User Support Hub.

thanks for the video, that’s exactly what i’m saying.

Hi, can you confirm if you’re on the retail or beta version? Thanks!

5

SU 2 version

Happened to me on both version, on SU2 I randomly had warning for cargo collision with invisible obsctacle, in beta It’s bouncing everywhere during the cruise

I had this on SU3 1.5.10.0, no idea about SU2, these mountain cargo hook missions are so broken I stopped trying.

I’m not sure if it is updrafts, I experienced it (just like in the video above) when reaching the drop site approach point, until then everything was fine.

Thank you all for the feedback! I’ll get this logged.

That’s cool but I’m still struggling to understand what your policy is on what gets logged and what not. We have had this since December:
H125 Cargo hook missions physics, weight and logic issues. It is clearly, obviously wrong behavior, yet there is zero feedback. Nothing. Or one of my pet peeves, the mirror, a low hanging fruit, any modeler could fix in 10 minutes (H125 Cargo Mirror Way Too Big), zero feedback on that too.

How do you guys decide what to ignore and what not?

Adding to pvaiko1203’s question: why do you close posts, setting them to “resolved”, when users provide proof that it isn’t resolved?
If the answer is “because management says no resources should be waisted on helicopters”, just say that. Like pvaiko says some things like the mirrors being optional or resized or certain mission bugs and inconveniences seem like very easy jobs to do. Even more complex modeling issues could be fixed temporarily quickly by less-sophisticated but quality of life improving measures.

Hello, issue is still there on beta 4, on my last 5 five slingload flights on this builds this is the first time, it occurs at the middle of cruise for delivering the package, I was easily 500m from any object or terrain

One more mission type I’ll don’t play anymore on live build because of the risk of breaking my own aircraft
