Gear collapse during taxiing?
-
Did a flight, little under an hour.
Came back, landed slightly rough, but above minimum angle (the FPM was above that dotted line indicating the right angle).I landed around 160knots (plane was quite light), used aerobraking but did have to use brakes a bit early, runway was really short.
Now i taxied of the runway and was heading back to the ramp. All of a sudden the plane collapsed during taxiing with a lot of noise.
I left the aircraft and noticed it was flat on its belly.
There was no other plane around, so a collision is not the case.What could have happened here? Damage because of hard landing?
Brakes worn out? that eventuall led to a complete collaps of gear?This was a new experience for me.

It can be a bug (non 100% flat pavement) reported some time ago and should be fixed next version. Could you confirm which Airbase or Airfield it was?
-
Yeah it was Samjiyon-Up in North Korea.
It is a base on high ground, i edited the map to make the area blue so i could fly from there. (i was curious to see how that environment looks like)
The flight was pure recreation.http://www.ravico.com/ST/Download/Checklists/Allcharts/Enemies/Samjiyon_airport.jpg

I had that happen once while taxiing at an airbase in PoH, but I was taxiing to takeoff and was less than 25kts when it happened. I figured it was a bug in the taxiway.
-
propably if the airfield aint fully flat, there might be a place where it has a slight elevation difference.
Also it could be the 3d feature. In Aegean that uses stock Korea airbases there is an airbase X shaped (Thessaloniki) that the taxiway in 2 places sinks in to the ground but no explosion. -
Wasn’t going to use the airbase again, so it’s fine by me.

Hello all,
I recently made a TE mission for landing to Samjiyon AB. Many times i broke the nose wheel.
I was thought because of hot brake. Is there any chance related to hot braking?
Thanks, -
Yes it could be.
-
if the problem arise always at the same spot on the same airbase (or same airbase type) then it’s NOT a brake issue
it’s a levelling issue -

There is indeed a bug in Samjiyon-up. Not able to check atm but I believe
Rw 05r in the beginning, Southern taxi way between alpha en bravo and inside the big hangar in front of the podium. -

Hopefully a airport designer resolve the problem.Thanks,
