Shiva killing pilots when powered down

[neon]

Ive noticed this with Shiva only, if you land it and power down for repairs, it will often (3 out of 4 times last game) kill you. Counts as flying into terrain, no kill source is shown.

Are you sure this is due to powering down?

I just landed a Shiva and rolled into the left hangar of the IS base on Mirage when suddenly, without touching anything, the Shiva disappears (even played engine shutdown sound) and I suicide. What the hell?

[neon]

Not sure if it was powering down that killed me, but what you described pretty much matches what happened to me. Not sure if mine disappeared tho.

did you power down while you were still flying or moving in some fashion?

I powered down after landing, pretty sure i wasn't moving on airfield.

hm... weird. On Sunday, last time I flew Shiva, everything was fine, it repaired multiple times without any instant-death problems.

On what map did it happen for you, neon?

[neon]

Happened both on Mirage and Sandblasted.

Would you by chance have a controller other than keyboard/mouse hooked up?  Possibly causing you to move slightly while in power-down sequence.

[neon]

Nope, mouse-keyboard only

edit: I've got joystick plugged in but I haven't enabled it in launcher, don't know if that makes any difference

even the default setup may have some joystick controls set up in there by default, so by having it plugged in its "enabled" unless you were to remove all the bindings to it

[neon]

So its my joystick messing it up rather than bug? If so, thx, ill unplug it. But anyways, how is moving the joystick making me suicide? And why does it happen only with Shiva?

You may have collided with an object in the game which eventually will cause the player to be destroyed, that is in your case the aero or elsewhere it can merely mean colliding with the asset that you are trying to enter.

Sorry to resurrect, but I am seeing this happen too. Shiva has landed, powered down. I attempt to turn the plane around while it is till powered down (shouldnt really be possible with no engine), plane starts turning, pilot is gibbed. No death cause reported, counts as a suicide.

I have reproduced it twice on Mirage within 2 days, but need to test more to see if it happens 100% of the time or not.

There was no possibilty of  the plane crashing into something, I was in clear space. The aero remains intact. Server lag was normal (between 70-150ms).

There have been reports of this going back to Jan 01 as far as I can see.

I've had this happen to me before too, just the other day when I discovered that planes can turn when they're powered down.

I am pretty sure this is an asset specific issue and not related to a specific map. With the Shiva f.ex. I have experienced suicide after powering down the asset on the runway from returning it damaged. After it powers up I explode and is awarded a suicide. Though sometimes I am awarded a suicide mediately after power-down, other times after take off?

One possible reproduction would be: 1. Purchase Shiva. 2. Take off and damage the asset. 3. Land and power-down. 4. Either; a.) you are awarded a suicide. b.) you repair the asset, power-up and is awarded a suicide. c.) you repaired the asset and is awarded a suicide at take-off. d.) none of the above.

Though the results is rather inconclusive and gives little detail of why this is actually occurring.
