Littlebird on Wetlands

[/ASF/.Venom]

sorry if this has been posted before..or even if its just 2 peoples crap flying at littlebirds but a well respected flyer and me(another good flyer) were trying to fly the attack littlebird, but no matter how long we waited(about 2 mins on one try), as soon as we took off we just fell forwards and didnt even go up, just flipped over. Now in a guess it could be the little bird is spawning awkwardly and its inside the carrier, but we tried 3 birds before giving up and taking a Huey, which worked fine until the centre hill AA killed us over Airfield. Anyways, anybody else had this happen? or is it the littlebirds twitchy motor?

Yeah, I've had this happen several times on the LB and on the Huey on occasions too.

What happens is the bird gets "stuck" to the ground, in the same way that dead bodies can get stuck to it when you're trying to revive them.

The best cure is generally to try the following:

Use S to push the bird into the ground, hard.
Rotate using your tailrotor keys to spin the bird around a few times.
Yaw back and forth using the mouse/joystick.

Then try pushing the power up again steadily (not too fast) and see if it's made any difference.

Very worst case, you can use something like a HUMMVV or Huey to gently nudge the stuck chopper around until it moves off, but that can be pretty dangerous (for obvious reasons) and will make you deeply unpopular if you blow both the stuck bird and the rescuing vehicle lol.

Hope that helps.

A little rudder input should help or reverse thrust as said. Haven´t really had it happen to me though.
