Guys have you just selected NAV on the INS knob? I flew the Hornet yesterday, cold and dark, and I did noticed the INS was aligned already. When I selected GND, the counter went up. I just switched it to NAV, and everything worked normally for me. Please check and let me know. Bones

Okay. Cool. I updated VoiceAttach and the problem hasn’t returned. I’ll keep an eye out for it. Thanks for checking. Bones

First and foremost! Heatblur! You guys are Rock Stars!!!! Awesome job. Congratulations guys! I’m having an issue when starting the jet, and attempting to connect the external air. When selecting to connect the air supply, the menu freezes up, and I can’t select anything else for the rest of the flight. The air supply menu stays up, but clicking on all the selections does nothing. I’m clicking on the selections instead of using the F keys. Is this me doing something wrong? Is anyone else having his issue? Thanks guys. Bones

Hey Guys! Did anyone have any issues engaging the nose wheel steering? I noticed it doesn’t work for me after the lates update today. The key mapping is good. Did they implement some new system or something to engage it? Ray

Sweet! Thanks guys! Can’t wait to test it! Thanks again!

I guess they must need to allocate too many resources to get that done! Come on RAZBAM! Can we make this a priority?! Please! Pretty please?! With whatever you like on top! :-) Ray

Hey guys. Any updates on this? In the world of VR, flying this thing at night with the HUD set to full bright sucks! What’s the status on this? A timeline on this will be nice! Thanks! Ray

Cool man, thanks! Ray

Okay, so I guess from this point forward, I’ll expect to count on mainly the community to acknowledge reported bugs and explore possible solutions. You guys are busy. Copy. In the future, in order to minimize possible misunderstandings, it would be nice to setup some kind of automated notification, informing where the post was moved and for what reason. That would be a pretty cool thing to have. Just wanted to throw that out there! At least we know is a known issue, and for now, we just have to work around it. Thanks. Ray

I’m wondering myself as well if there’s been any additional tests with this. I have noticed in both, the PG, and the Nevada maps, changing the shadow settings have no affect on the shadows rendering on the ground for the F-18. It does change in the pit, but not on the ground. The shadows default to high. I think this is a major cause of frame rate hit in both of these maps. Try this: set a mission time in early morning or close to sunset, then set the time at noon, where the sun is up high, and notice the frame rates. I’ve seen a drastic frame rate improvement when I can’t see the shadow of the jet on the ground. I think if we fix that, our frame rates in VR will be greatly improved. Bones

Having the same issue. I’m unable to click on anything below half way down the screen. Nothing is clickable below halfway down my screen, on any menu.

Add me to this as well guys. Open Beta is unusable at this time. I tried to make some changes on my HOTAS and it freezes! Ray “Bones” Lemus

Aha! Got it! Add it just like a TACAN channel in the ME! We can pick our on channels for that too! Love it! Thanks man! See Yah! Ray “Bones” Lemus

Guys sorry if I missed it. How do I set up the ICLS on the Stennis now after the update. My TACAN setting for the ship is set to 45X. How do I get the ICLS to come up? Thanks. Ray “Bones” Lemus

Yep! I’ve confirmed this isssue as well guys.

Looks like setting a max speed of 19 knots on the carrier is the fix for now. Thanks again guys! See Yah! Ray

Okay David, thanks man. I’ll check there and see if there’s a solution. Ray

F-18 Slipping and Sliding on Carrier Deck Hey Guys! I decided to set a speed on the Stennis to 27 knots, and I’m finding it difficult to taxi around on the carrier deck. The airplane slips and slides all over the place. I thought it was fixed. What is the maximum speed I can set on the carrier so this doesn’t happen? Thanks! Ray “Bones” Lemus

Hey Guys! Can someone run a test and post here if you’re getting the same thing. Please put a Hornet on spot 23 in AI Minhad AB, set the mission time to 1800, and check frame rates in VR. Then just change the time to noon and check the frame rates again. I’m running with an i7 7700K and an Nvidia 1080. At noon, I’m getting mostly 45 with a bounce down to about 41, but with the mission time set to 1800, frame rate performance really takes a dive. Sometimes down to the lower 20s. After playing with the shadows, as it is a huge frame rate drainer, I noticed no change in the quality of the shadow of the jet on the ramp. Is like the shadow of the jet is at a high setting all the time regardless of the shadow setting changes. This maybe the reason for such a huge frame rate hit. I’m aware the map and the airplane are early access. Just wanted to let ED knows if they see this. Thanks Ray “Bones” Lemus

Loved it! That was hilarious man! Good one! Ray

Ah! Okay. Thanks man for the info! See Yah! Ray

Hey Guys! Anybody tried to tank with the drogue equipped KC-135 and the Harrier? I couldn’t get that to work. The probe goes right through the basket and it won’t connect. Thanks! Ray

Yeah guys, you can add me to this request. The HUD is way too bright on this module! Hope they implement that soon! I love the module! Bones
