Preendog Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 (edited) When at low altitudes, or even sitting on the ground with the canopy open, turning off OBOGS makes the player black out and die. Not sure if this is a bug or intended behavior. If intended behavior, is there a workaround? I've had my pilot die from an OBOGS failure because I couldn't figure out how to tell him to take his mask off. Thx edit: This moved to the bug forum, so replication instructions (latest stable version as of Jun 23): 1. Spawn in hot F/A-18 on ground. 2. Open canopy. 3. Turn OBOGS flow knob to 0. 4.

ED Team BIGNEWY Posted June 23, 2019 ED Team Share Posted June 23, 2019 (edited) I don't think this is a bug, The pilots state is wearing a mask in DCS so turning off oxygen would lead to blackout. The point I am making is there is no mask on / off option in DCS F/A-18 currently. I will try to confirm Edit: Confirmed it is due to DCS not having a mask on or off state.

Harker Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 IIRC, you're fine with OBOGS off on the ground and at low altitude. It's the OXY FLOW knob that matters. OBOGS comes into play at higher altitudes. I think the reasoning was that the pilot in DCS wears the mask even on the ground, so cutting oxygen supply would indeed cause you to faint, or something like that.

Preendog Posted June 23, 2019 Author Share Posted June 23, 2019 (edited) It's the OXY FLOW knob that matters. Confirmed. Thanks for pointing that out. In fact, the OBOGS on/off switch doesn't seem to do anything at all. Cruising at 45,000 with it off and I was fine. Maybe that's a bug :) edit: But I am still curious if the mask has a suction-operated check valve that allows breathing ambient air when there is no supply from OBOGS. Otherwise you'd just be sucking on the mask and the hose. Edited June 23, 2019 by Preendog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
de.Impact Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I takes about 20-22 seconds until the pilot dies after an OBOGS failure. https://streamable.com/c79n5 I dont know, but i can hold my breath longer than that without dying. After that, the pilot has Emergency Oxygen in his survival pack that lasts about 10 minutes. I really dont get why this is labeled as "NO BUG" without a comment. Some explanation would be really appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will bring this up with the team, but currently the mask state is on, any event that prevents oxygen flow will create a black out situation.

ED Team NineLine Posted June 23, 2019 ED Team Share Posted June 23, 2019 Until there is an option to take your mask off, which I dont think is planned, this will continue to happen. If you want a mask off state, then that would be better for the wishlist section.
