We have the below yellow star Remote Cargo Ops mission in career mode from KLHW to CJK2.
Before doing it I was trying to take-off and land at CJK2 doing a simple traffic pattern to get familiar with the airstrip.
But I am unable to take off successfully from CJK2 runway 12 or 30 in the C-17A, the landing gear gets damaged during take-off roll. Same thing happens if I try with the A400M.
Can anyone please try if you are able to take-off from CJK2 using C-17A Globemaster III or A400M in free flight without damaging landing gear?
Hi @hispdtortoiz
I was able to take off from CJK2 on both runways in the C-17 without issue in free flight with all damage enabled.
Unfortunately I canât readily duplicate your mission in career, so Iâm unable to duplicate the issue at this point due to the limitations for me and the sim.
Hopefully someone gets that mission at that airport and will give it a try!
Regards
Thanks for confirming @Habu2u2 .
I did not do the mission as I could not correctly take-off from CJK2 in free flight in the C-17. Did you do any specific procedure or setup in the aircraft before taking off?
I had spawned the aircraft on the runway ready for take off and during the take-off roll there seemed to be some unevenness on the runway which caused the landing gear and tire damage.
My test run included applying full thrust while sitting on the brakes until they couldnât hold the plane. I did that so Iâd hit any potential bumps/breaks in the runway at maximum speed to amplify any bounce.
The runway does âseemâ to have some slightly uneven spots, but the plane just powered through them without issue. I also made sure to not inadvertently bounce or settle back on the runway after a premature liftoff.
I guess the first question is whether the plane you used had any previous damage or was in need of repairs when it was flown. You might have already started with degraded gears.
Other than that, is was just a slightly accelerated takeoff just for this test. I canât imagine that a slower takeoff would do damage, but Iâll try to go back and test that also.
Regards
P.S. I did a slow roll down the runway and didnât have any issues. I also went down the runway in drone mode, and didnât see anything really wrong. Do you have any add-onâs or mods youâre running? Sometimes even the most âinnocentâ add-onâs can have a bad effect on things you wouldnât think theyâd affect.
Regards
ok. There was no damage to my aircraft as it was spawned on the runway in free flight. Not in career mode.
I will try again today to see if the issue is gone now.
Je nâai pas cette mission alors que jâai dĂ©bloquĂ© la certification comment avez vous fait?
Mod Edit Translate:
I donât have this mission even though I unblocked the certification, how did you do it?
These missions are available if you have an âSâ rating along with the certifications. Otherwise they will not show up.
Tested by removing the community folder now as I have lots of addons. Still same issue. Slow roll is fine, I also did it successfully to test if I could spot anything on the runway.
I play this with everything streaming, no packages locally installed.
Sounds like it may be a bug with where it starts in career mode, e.g. causing damage when you move from starting position to runway, and then the runway is aggravating the issue and causing the fault message. Iâm not even sure where else you could start, given what Iâve seen of that area in free flight mode.
Unfortunately. may have discovered another bug in career mode!
Regards
Nothing to do with career mode. I did not even attempt the mission in career mode. This is happening in free flight.
Now I have also tried the Boeing 737 max and that also faces the same issue.
Ok, sorry I misunderstood. Iâll try some other planes and see if I run across this issue with any of them.
Regards
Question: Is there a specific point in the takeoff when it consistently gives you the damage message??
Regards
Yes. It is exactly about this position taking off from runway 12:
Not sure what to make of this, but I tried departing from the same airport in the TBM930. I got off alright, but the runway was noticeably bouncier. Much more than when I did it in the C-17. Some of it is expected since Iâm in a much lighter aircraft, so itâs more prone to bouncing around on a rougher runway.
Iâm just completely confounded at this point as to whatâs happening. Iâll keep looking into it, but hopefully someone will show up with the same issue so we can try to narrow down whatâs wrong.
Regards
Thank you so much! That was a heck of an adventure, wouldnât want to do that in real life. Takeoff and landings both waysâŠno damage in free flight.
Many of the yellow star missions in career mode with the C-17 and A400M are in such places that even military would not prefer doing it IRL I think.
