boriz Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 (edited) Plan: Build a heavy VTOL capable of recovering craft manually, rather than just clicking ‘recover’, which is very convenient but I’d like to roleplay the recovery. Problem: The aircraft is coming together nicely, but I’m facing a bizarre intermittent issue that I can’t pin down. I’m using the large G-11 Hinge to articulate the engines on four nacelles. Sometimes they all work, sometimes one or more don’t, and there seems to be no pattern. I just took some screenshots, exited to desktop, loaded the game and tried the same thing again and got different results. What’s going on with these hinges? Is there a workaround? The hinge I'm using: Spoiler In situ: Spoiler Before operating the hinges, which are all linked to action group 1: Spoiler After operating the hinges, two failed: Spoiler After exiting the game, and trying the exact same thing again, one failed. A different one: Spoiler Edited February 4 by boriz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DennisB Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 I can't imagine at a plane of that size, but the symptom is like, you wouldn't have enough power generation/EC storage to operate all of them at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boriz Posted February 4 Author Share Posted February 4 Thanks for your reply, interesting suggestion, but the same thing happens with all engines running and 100% battery, so I don't think it's power. It's the randomness that confuses me. Also, I should point out that all of the nacelles are copies of a single nacelle, so there should be no difference. And when I right-click on a failed hinge, it clearly shows that it has been commanded to the correct angle, just as all the others, but the actual indicated angle is 90 degrees off, like it's locked or jammed.

In that case, they are most likely broken. What you could try is, to deploy them slowly, maybe the force on them is too high, if they are deployed instantly to 90 degrees.

boriz Posted February 5 Author Share Posted February 5 The KAL controller drives them from 0-90 degrees in eight seconds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
