Skid contact points

Ideas
1

Hi
For heli skid contact points:

  • The maximum number of contact points for skid-type retractable landing gear is 6 (previously this was limited to only 4). These are:
    • Center Front Skid
    • Center Rear Skid
    • Left Front Skid
    • Left Rear Skid
    • Right Front Skid
    • Right Rear Skid

In order to make the skid behave realistically:
2 points are used on the heal (rear)
2 points at the toe (where its turned up)
2 points before the turned up part.

This leaves the entire length of the skid as a ‘non-contact’ point.
When landing on platforms, if these ‘end’ contact points miss the platform, the heli falls through the surface, as there are no contact points until the other end of the skid.

Solution:
Either increase the number of contact points for skids.
Or,remove the limit of 6 contact points.

Thank you
This should be an easy one for you.

Thank you

Hi Sylvain
Can we please have more contact points for skids

If this gets addressed, do I have to wait for it to be added to the SDK release notes, or will it just be useable?

Hi,

I definitely second the need for more contact points on the skid to make uneven terrain landings a lot more realistic.
