Jetranger III Float problem ?? - Jetranger - 11-12-2011 06:37 AM 11/12/2011 : The JetRanger-III with "Floats", doesn't seem to want to land in Water at all, it bounces back up in the air , no matter how soft a landing or, how much you Throttle down to ease in for a water landing ??? it'' bounce right back up in the air. ?? Jetranger RE: Jetranger III Float problem ?? - euroastar350 - 11-12-2011 09:22 AM Noted and will fix RE: Jetranger III Float problem ?? - Jetranger - 11-12-2011 05:29 PM I only Noticed it on the Blue & White one with floats, I didn't have time to test out all the others ,Saturday Morning ,I had a trainload of fire wood to get cut & split for winter. RE: Jetranger III Float problem ?? - arealityofmyown - 11-12-2011 09:50 PM I had the same problem, but found it rather amusing. Can you hover at just the right altitude to simulate floating? See, its really a test of piloting skills! I'll mention you all are working on a fix in the post at the blog. Cheers! -Aric http://arealityofmyown.wordpress.com RE: Jetranger III Float problem ?? - Jetranger - 11-13-2011 07:16 AM I'll shall try to hover, till,,, the big Shark jumps out of the water and bites my heli' in half !! RE: Jetranger III Float problem ?? - Brandon - 11-13-2011 10:26 AM Here's a fix for the float problem. Simply open the aircraft.cfg inside of the "Bell_206B_JetRanger_III_FL" folder and replace the existing contact points with the following: [contact_points] point.0=4, 4.83, 4.0, -4.70, 840.0, 0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.5, 2.5, 0.8, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 point.1=4, -3.50, -4.0, -4.60, 840.0, 0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.5, 2.5, 0.8, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 point.2=4, -3.50, 4.0, -4.60, 840.0, 0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.5, 2.5, 0.8, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 point.3=4, 4.83, -4.0, -4.70, 840.0, 0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.5, 2.5, 0.8, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0 point.4=3, 4.83, 4.0, -3.4, 600.0, 0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.5, 2.5, 0.8, 0.0, 0.0, 8.0, 0.0, 0.0 point.5=3, -3.50, -4.0, -4.4, 600.0, 0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.5, 2.5, 0.8, 0.0, 0.0, 7.0, 0.0, 0.0 point.6=3, -3.50, 4.0, -4.4, 600.0, 0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.5, 2.5, 0.8, 0.0, 0.0, 8.0, 0.0, 0.0 point.7=3, 4.83, -4.0, -3.4, 600.0, 0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.5, 2.5, 0.8, 0.0, 0.0, 7.0, 0.0, 0.0 point.8=2, 0.00, -16.67, 6.00, 1.0, 0, 0.0000, 0.0, 0.000000, 0.0, 0.000000, 0.0, 0.0, 5.0, 0.0, 0.0 point.9=2, 0.00, 16.67, 6.00, 1.0, 0, 0.0000, 0.0, 0.000000, 0.0, 0.000000, 0.0, 0.0, 6.0, 0.0, 0.0 point.10=2, -22.0, 0.85, -0.45, 600, 0, 0.0000, 0.0, 0.000000, 0.0, 0.000000, 0.0, 0.0, 9.0, 0.0, 0.0 point.11=2, 16.67, 0.0, 6.00, 1.0, 0, 0.0000, 0.0, 0.000000, 0.0, 0.000000, 0.0, 0.0, 4.0, 0.0, 0.0 point.12=3, -11.50, -4.0, -3.7, 600.0, 0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.5, 2.5, 0.8, 0.0, 0.0, 8.0, 0.0, 0.0 point.13=3, -11.50, -4.0, -3.7, 600.0, 0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.5, 2.5, 0.8, 0.0, 0.0, 8.0, 0.0, 0.0 RE: Jetranger III Float problem ?? - Case - 11-13-2011 09:27 PM First I want to say thank you and congrats on the 206 III release. Regarding the float problem, I am experiencing just the opposit effect, the copter will not float and sinks like a stone. I did attempt to add the recommended changes to the aircraft cfg. but am rejected as not having access. (The "access" problem is yet another frustration). Will you be providing a fix for the float problems? Thanks RE: Jetranger III Float problem ?? - Jetranger - 11-15-2011 03:31 PM That Contact points Fix for the CFG. File worked, thankfully !! See now they Float ! RE: Jetranger III Float problem ?? - Charles - 11-17-2011 11:12 AM Hey... that fix works much better than mine. RE: Jetranger III Float problem ?? - Oz Flyer - 07-03-2012 04:15 AM Hi There, Has someone missed uploading the new file to http://aussiex.org as I just download it tonight and the file they have sinks like a brick until I did the patch listed above? RE: Jetranger III Float problem ?? - Brandon - 07-03-2012 08:12 AM No new file was ever submitted, although I will see what we can do about getting it on all the websites it was published on originally.
