Winston 60

Yes, confirmed for AI uncontrolled aircraft. I noticed this just after installing the 1.5.6.4546.280 Update 2 patch. My mission included 2 AI F-18's with ramp starts that were not activated yet, and viewing them externally I could hear their engines running although there were no pilots in the seats, no taxi lights or position lights were on and the wings were still folded. Usually pilots occupy the aircraft and they turn on lights before starting and then extend their wings, so maybe they are really not started up yet and just making false engine running sounds without the engines actually running?

Patch 1.5.6.4546.280 Update 2 resolved this for me. It has now returned to a normal although still a poorly functioning autopilot, but it is working again! Go figure.

Longer multiplayer mission load times have returned again for us in the stable release version 1.5.6.4546.280 Update 2. Our server seems to load the mission in a reasonable amount of time, but all clients suffer from longer than usual loading times.

EDIT: White elapsed time seconds hand sweep does not work in the American FC3 aircraft (A-10A and F-15C) in stable release 1.5.6.4546.280 Update 2 of Apr. 21, 2017 ( I think it was also broken in the previous patch?) Red elapsed time seconds hand sweep works in all the Russian FC3 aircraft in stable release 1.5.6.4546.280 Update 2 of Apr. 21, 2017

This is somewhat resolved in the stable release version patch 1.5.6.4546.280 update 2 release on 12 Apr. 2017 Clouds issues have been greatly improved. They still swirl and rotate somewhat as you approach them and look around, but now they don't disappear. You can actually fly into them now! I'm glad to see they are working on this in version 1.5. Well done ED! :thumbsup:

If only we could get our wingmen to rearm. :yawn: I'm guessing ED hasn't given us this option over all these years because the AI is just too stupid to do it!

Thanks Jack! This is exactly what we needed. A no logos skin for the 115th Guards Regiment (Termez AB) :thumbup:

Thanks Comes, for finding this bug. I've temporarily suspended work on "Steel Winter" until later in the year or early 2018 because I have to pack up and make a cross country move soon. The tanker bug was easily solved and I have repaired mission 5 for the A-10A and A-10C and uploaded new versions to the first post. BTW, were you able to steal the Fullback and get it home safely?

I can verify that this now happens in stable release version 1.5.6.3930 and it didn't happen in the previous versions. I'm wondering if this is a new feature... or a bug? :dunno:

PPL since 1972, with tailwheel and complex endorsements. Some glider time and multi engine time in the right seat of a C-47. Can't get a medical now, blood pressure and vision problems. Sucks getting old.

EDIT: OK, it seems like the path to install into the stable release version 1.5.6 is different than listed in post #1 for the open beta. The stable release version path is: Mods\aircraft\Flaming Cliffs\Cockpit\Textures\

Thanks! :thumbup:

Mustang, are you giving us all the files for the mod, or just the ones you fixed/modified?

Yup, thanks but I've been through that, no double assignments on any axis and I even un-assigned the rudder pedals just to check. BTW, I can wiggle the rudder pedals and the 'attitude hold' does not disconnect like it does when moving the control stick, but anyway... also tried repairing... twice. I'll wait to see if the next patch brings me some magic. :joystick: In the meantime I'll just have to pay attention to flying and stop sipping coffee on autopilot!

If it's an audible sound cue you're looking for... I use the sound of my neck popping and cracking as I frantically look around for heaters in the merge! (Sucks to be old!) :pilotfly:

P-38? I'd buy that module!

I've had no luck finding a solution. This problem must be specific only to my rig. I've tried everything I could, so I'm going to wait and see what the next patch brings. :huh:

Stock CPU cooling fan for me. Of course, this may be the exception to the rule but the old intel Extreme processors used to come with one of these. I'm overclocked from 3.33GHz to 4.20GHz with this fan and heatsink solution and CPU temps never exceed 55 deg.

I get something very similar in stable release ver 1.5.6 immediately when entering the cockpit in the F-15C, Su-27 and MiG-29's. Looks like your screenshot but visible to me only when looking to the front. It goes away after a few seconds.

:poster_offtopic: It would be better to post topics like this elsewhere like in the Mission Builders' Corner above. This topic is for posting completed missions and campaigns. :thumbup:

The toggle switch for 'ATT HOLD' moves when it's keycommand/button is pressed. The toggle switch for 'ALT HOLD' does not move when it's corresponding keycommand/button is pressed.

Negative on this too. To insure a complete center I set my deadzone to 50 just for the test. Still the 'altitude hold' doesn't engage. Tried the A-10A which has a similar requirement to be centered for it's autopilot... it works OK even on my regular deadzone at 8. Switched pitch and roll to my backup joystick, a nice new tight C-H Flightstick, tried deadzone at 50... still the 'altitude hold' does not engage nor does the 'autopilot light' come on. Gotta be a bug. It seems like the keybinding is no longer valid or was broken in this latest 1.5.6 patch. Looking forward to feefifofum's report on his test.

There's so very many users reporting this. Obviously there's something mysterious going on. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=185850
