Main Rotor Separation from Helicopter

So yea - interesting story. Track attached!

Minigun version, take-off and some light hovering to test out the GE. Still some funky things going on so head out to runway, takeoff and cruise down the coast a short way. Gently land on the beach and go to outside view to check heli positioning...and watch entire main rotor pop off the helicopter.

Now I know what everyone will say - "Oh but you must have been doing 4G inverted dives with Mig-28's - noob" etc.

But I think you will agree the flying is pretty casual and controlled, and I can guarantee I never hit 100 power as I have the Y-axis saturation on the collective set to 80% to help with the GE handling.

Oh yeah - and the fault in the de-brief screen was listed as "Aw shoot.", not sure I am aware of that system on the Gazelle....

Was thinking it was possibly sand damage because I wasn't using the intake filter, but the engine kept running fine - so if it was related to that (see damage on top of helicopter caused by who knows what) then I think the damage model needs work.

In any case - this might prove useful to hopefully get to the bottom of it for someone else who still flies this module.

Can't load the track.

It says, "Need modules for load mission: Helipads"

Hi VampireNZ,

It would be great if you could supply me with a trackfile without mods. Would be very interested to see if we can replicate this behaviour.
