Fen needs YOU: Bumpiness at Imphal Main on Burma map... - FENRIR - 08.01.2010

Hello chaps! This is not a bug report I just want to clarify a little incident I had today...

I was setting up for a 'bimble', my nickname for a gentle Free Flight jaunt round a map at a nice time of day with plenty of clouds to chase around and generally just enjoy the flying rather than throw myself around in a blood spitting sweaty dogfight.

Anyway i digress...

I thought 'I haven't flown (stock) Burma for a bit' so I set myself up on the main runway at Imphal in the NW corner and fired up, taxied to the runway ok but as I opened my handsome MkVIII Spitfire up, all of a sudden, mad bouncing and lurching, followed by propstrike, undercarriage failure and bothersome aeroplane crunchery.

"Hmmm, that didn't happen last time..."

Looks like the texture plates have been swapped for the normal 'rough' ground so takeoff and landing is nigh impossible.

Here's a pic of the place:



Could you, fellow sympathetic reader test your version of the map in a similar manner and report back here if you too suffer the rough runway syndrome? That way I can localise where the fault came in or whether it's unique to my install.

Also let me now what version you are running on. Could do with testing vanilla 4.09, UI and HSFX and UP mod versions too.

I'm currently running HSFX 4.1 for those curious. And no, I can't switch to 4.09 default for some reason. I have tried.

Thanks for reading and please do check this out for me.

If you are only having trouble with that one strip...then use the airfield Friction mod by Zuti in his MDS to smooth that strip and put the data in the load.ini file for the map.

HSFX 4.1, same problem.

Reported to HSFX.

BUMP! - FENRIR - 17.01.2010

Comeon guys, could do with some more examples from different versions.

Please just fly a mission from Imphal main on the stock Burma map and let me know what you find, and specify whether you are modded or not, and what specific version you are using,

Thanks.

to FF - appreciate your help but I'm not in the business of messing around with maps in that manner, wouldn't even know where to start, and frankly, don't feel I should be correcting others mistakes.

Ok I fired up the FMB -placed a plane at the most NW base, Upper left hand corner.
I started on the runway. Looks to be a grass dirt type runway.
All went well no bounce or jumps.
I was running stock 4.09m - stock map.

Ok I went back and used HSFX-V4.1- With the History mod active Plus the
DGEN offline campaigns.
The Campaign starts at the Most far NW base. Here the runway was dirt.
All was well. No jumps or bumps.

If that is of any help.

Thanks Skyomish, much appreciated, you too rollnloop,

This is most peculiar.... I kinda expected the stock to be ok, but the fact that we can't replicate it across the board for HSFX 4.1 puzzles me.

Any more input from the AAA community?

Edit: skyomish, just thought, this is the 'Burma' stock map, not the 'Burma Lower' mod?

Just that the Imphal main airfield is quite a detailed texture plate with an texture asphalt runway running NNW-SSE and a texture dirt shorter running WSW-ENE plus various free form hardstandings.

I'm getting exactly the same issue and running the same install as Fenrir (HSFX 4.1)
It's too bumpy man!

My first test was a stock map. 4.09m pure stock.This a picture of my map


Ok went back in and built a mission in FMB saved as a dog fight online.
I had HSFX with the history mod active.
Used same map same base area. No way can you take off.
So what is the difference???

Fixed this by setting friction to 0 in MDS 1.12
