Helicopter bound to the ground issue

[tacticat]

We've fixed the helicopter and cut all visible wires with the electric saw but when we're about to leave, we're met with "The helicopter is still bound to the ground, [...]." We did the same map a few times to ensure it's not a one time occurrence but this problem persisted through all the sessions. Are we missing something?

After cutting 4 wires in total and doing everything else you should be fine to go! If that's not the case we have to look into it!

We did cut 4 wires every time but the message persisted and we couldn’t get in the helicopter

[kenso]

So we put in oil, fixed the back wing with the wrench, put the door, used helicopter key and cut the 4 wires with the electric saw and we still had that message and couldn’t hop in.

Alright that sounds rather weird, I am checking it rn! There will be an update tomorrow probably so we'll make sure to add a fix!

I don't know if you just didn't mention it or didn't press it, but don't you have to press another button in the hospital that allows the helicopter to fly?

This might be the reason, but it should then output the message that they have to press the button

Yeah we didn't get the message about the button, just the helicopter still being bound. But thank you for looking into it and helping!

Weird it did work out for me, but we'll give it a few runs in multiplayer as well and see if something bugs it out

i experienced this same bug last night. i think perhaps because my friend gassed it before we cut the wires? the helicopter was 'on' and the motor was going, but cutting all 4 wires and still got the message that we needed to cut the wires

The order of fixes should not matter, I've tried a few things now and couldn't replicate the problem - if any of you guys manage to get this happening on video and can show us on our Discord it would be really helpful to sort things out better :)

Thanks for any information!

What comes to my mind right now: have you guys been working on the helicopter fixes simultaneously? That's the only thing that comes into my mind that COULD bug the system out, but I'm pretty sure that would have been reported months ago

We started recording today, started with a session on Easy and the helicopter event worked fine. We then switched to Hard difficulty and again there were no problems, we escaped successfully. Not sure what all that was about but I'm glad it's working, hopefully for everyone. But thanks for looking into it

Had this issue today on Panicore difficulty, multiplayer with 3 total players.

Helicopter had no visible cables, was fueled and playing the starting up sound. (it played for so long that the audio restarted from the beginning)

I would like to note the monster was stuck in the left staircase (assuming you are standing on the helicopter pad and the doors are on the left and right.

Since the monster was bugged, we also did the elevator escape all the way until you pressed the button to leave.
