Why wont the planes fly straight, im tryin to do a HAHO mission, but cant get the plane to cooperate

Uberminch · « **Reply #1 on:** 05 Mar 2003, 15:20:33 »

I'm afraid i'm a little dense, what is a HAHO mission?

Describe the mission from takeoff until the problem begins

Josef · « **Reply #2 on:** 05 Mar 2003, 16:19:37 »

Im on the beginning stage off it..

You are inside a plane, you jump and do a HALO with a steerable chute

The plane goes in circles and thet alike...

HAHO means High Altitude High Opening...

Uberminch · « **Reply #3 on:** 05 Mar 2003, 18:00:01 »

How are your waypoints set up?

Josef · « **Reply #4 on:** 05 Mar 2003, 18:06:24 »

One wayoint at the lo0cation of the plane with a flyinheight command, one at the other side of the target town...

I am doing it with some hotair baloons if it doesn't work...

Uberminch · « **Reply #5 on:** 05 Mar 2003, 19:44:18 »

OK. Exactly where does the plane begin to fly in circles?

Josef · « **Reply #6 on:** 05 Mar 2003, 19:53:48 »

You mean in coordinates:P

About halfways from Mokropsy(start) to Modrava(Dropsite)

Uberminch · « **Reply #7 on:** 06 Mar 2003, 00:46:47 »

Hmmmm....what kind of plane is it? Is it an addon or the civilian "Plane"? What kind of waypoint is the dropzone?

Because to tell you the truth I have no idea what it might be.

Josef · « **Reply #8 on:** 06 Mar 2003, 11:55:01 »

I tried both BIS planes and some addons, all go all wrong :'(

I think ill do it with some stationary hotairbaloons...

Uberminch · « **Reply #9 on:** 06 Mar 2003, 15:24:00 »

I tried flying a plane on the route you described. I had no problem. I tried several different planes...no problem. This is a very strange problem, it must be a bug of some sort (oh reallly

).....maybe try to put in some factors that will force the plane to change altitude or direction, maybe it will work out the kink.

Josef · « **Reply #10 on:** 06 Mar 2003, 23:07:01 »

oh BTW...

I setposed it to 2000 m, and used flyinheight 2000...

Artak · « **Reply #11 on:** 07 Mar 2003, 07:04:20 »

Try to lower the flyinheight radically. As far as I know flyinheight 2000 is not a valid value.

Josef · « **Reply #12 on:** 07 Mar 2003, 18:37:56 »

OK then, what is valuable?

Ace · « **Reply #13 on:** 07 Mar 2003, 21:55:16 »

I think 200-250m is the max

Josef · « **Reply #14 on:** 07 Mar 2003, 23:34:01 »

WOOT?

!!!!!?

?

Thats no height for a HALO!!! :'(

NoFear · « **Reply #15 on:** 08 Mar 2003, 01:01:02 »

aaaaw, dont cry......

macguba · « **Reply #16 on:** 08 Mar 2003, 09:48:13 »

Planes can fly much higher than that ..... try a setPos one waypoint out from the drop zone and see what happens.

Josef · « **Reply #17 on:** 09 Mar 2003, 22:24:15 »

The plane DID only have one waypoint, as it only did one flyby...

Spooky · « **Reply #18 on:** 10 Mar 2003, 10:52:55 »

Ive got a chinook at 999m flys to the first waypoint no problem then it cant get to the next waypoint . but I have had planes that wont fly straight to the waypoints will almost follow the roads or coastline to get there

Sui · « **Reply #19 on:** 11 Mar 2003, 00:00:41 »

Generally, an aircraft will have to move within 500m of it's waypoint to activate it.

So if your aircraft is flying at 1000m, it will never get close enough to activate it's waypoints...

Sol Fire · « **Reply #20 on:** 13 Mar 2003, 04:44:03 »

the highest i have had a plane fly was flyinheight 500... never tried higher but maybe i will.. 500 you can barely see the ground!

i have used Setpos to have things around 1500 - 2000m in the air.. SPLAT!

poor guy.. head first too!
