ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue: The H225 will not shut down engines even when everything is turned off according to checklist.

Fuel off, batteries off, electrical systems off, rotor brakes on, and yet the battery switches on and the FADEC indicates 200% torque, and cannot end the mission, the “apply rotor brakes” objective keeps popping up, then disappears, and reappears, and so on.

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

Every time in career missions. Haven’t yet tried in free flight.

REPRODUCTION STEPS

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

  1. Load any career mission (tried with cargo and search and rescue)

  2. Complete the mission

  3. Proceed to shutting down the engine (tried manually and with CTRL+SHIFT+E) as well.

Moved to Bug Reporting Hub > User Interface & Activities since issue occurs in mission. @Stratt02 : if you can replicate in free flight report will be moved back to Bug Reporting Hub > Aircraft & Systems .

Got ya, I just reproduced it in free flight as well. Loaded in flight, shut down the engine as well, and the same behavior appears. Attached a screenshot as well, that shows the engine switches and fuel switches, and the FADEC display as well.

I’ve observed the same problem, the H225 doesn’t shut down properly.

There’s a workaround: the big red ‘Emergency Cut-out’ handle above the Pilot’s and Copilot’s heads will do it. And you have to pull both of them. Of course, those are really supposed to only be used if there’s a fire or something, not just a standard landing.

Ah good one, hope it gets fixed soon, the H225 is a lovely bird!

Have the same issues

I encountered this bug as well… And even on the start of mission, there were some issues to start it properly, even when it was. It just didnt maintain rpms. After using of CTRL+E, it normally started up.
So, it wasnt possible to properly start the heli, and not even possible to shut it down. Only via emergency handles above heads.

Anyway, i like, how some critical issues connected with helicopters are just ignored, because they dont have enough votes :confused: - this will never get solved.

Thank you for the bug report.

We have created an internal ticket to see if our team already has this logged, and if not they will attempt to reproduce the issue and create a new bug report. This item is now marked as feedback-logged. If there is an existing bug report or one is created, we will move this thread to bug-logged.

Any update on it? SU5 patch notes say that it is fixed, but for me that did not work.

12

Same issue happening for me, so I don’t think it’s fixed yet. On mission end, the mission text keeps saying “Press CTRL + / to apply rotor brake” or whatever it says.. then it runs the ok, you did it acknowledgement, then it goes back the saying “Press CTRL + / to apply rotor brake” repeat. I’ve tried turning off things, cutting fuel etc.. just never stops and completes the mission.

not fixed in SU5

same issue here, despite turning off the pumps, switching engine off on the overhead panel.

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:

when flying the Airbus H225 helicopter, I want to be able to shut it down and leave it, but even if I follow the checklists or automated shutdown, it fights the rotor break despite being switched off. The display also don’t turn off after killing the master switch and when I get out the rotor break gets loose, it spins up and flies away without me on board.

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?

Every time in beta and apparently also in SU5.

REPRODUCTION STEPS

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

  1. Open free flight

  2. Select H225

  3. Perform shutdown, it won’t let you

YOUR SETTINGS
