I'd rather refrain from using third party mods and instead stick with official content. I might be missing out on some fun and interesting stuff but never mind.

It is buggy for sure. If it's constantly crashing to desktop then it surely is. Good thing is, that they are working on it so I guess this one will be tackled soon. And then hopefully further enhancements will come too.

You don't want. But others do want. So an option never hurts. And if you don't want to apply that option then you don't but others who actually struggle reading that pale instrument, may still enjoy it. Simple as that. Just an option so that the HUD brightness knob delivers a bit more of a "punch" or something like that. If you don't want that, don't turn the brightness knob fully on. And everyone's happy.

First I want a finished Viggen with a fully clickable cockpit, moving parts animated, working mirrors etc.

Absolutely agree with this.

Attached some. Inside clouds it's actually even worse.

"These should be mapped to your hotas anyway?" Sure, I might as well do. And I might as well use the default SU-25T or the Mustang since I should map the switches to the hotas anyways. Well no. The reason why I decided to purchase a "high quality"product because I have high expectations which my other 8 modules surely meet. Not this one though as of yet.

It's a joke. A "highly detailed" cockpit where half of the switches are not clickable. Wow.

I do not have any issues. the HUD is fine in every other a/c - and above you can read that several people complained about this so there must be something going on.

I am kind of shocked to find - beyond the fact that the radar stick isn't moving - it isn't even clickable. It's a joke really. A high fidelity module where half of the switches aren't clickable, or if accidentally clickable then not animated. Sure, we're talking about an EA module but it's been out for a year and a half. Other EA modules aren't like this even on day one. As much as I love the Viggen as an aircraft type, the more I am trying to like this simulation, the more disappointed I become. It's so far behind all my other modules. A cockpit full of non clickable switches? I thought I was buying a "highly detailed" module and the least I'd expect is a fully clickable cockpit. Lack of animation in such obvious parts as the toe brakes, the magnetic declination knob, the radar stick just to name a few. No mirrors. Fix in the future? Well, with the focus shifted onto the F-14, I have doubts about these ever being fixed. They weren't addressed for a year and a half.

Still crashing to desktop. Attached is the log. dcs.log-20180708-000413.zip

I am not familiar at all with the real Viggen so I can't argue with the above and if the simulation's realistically depicting how the HUD "behaves" against a bright background then be it - but I have a VERY hard time seeing stuff on it due to the awful readability even with brightness set to max. Very difficult to deliver a precision strike when a key component is basically useless due to a limitation.

No, still no mirrors.

Maybe the upcoming patch on Friday?

Looking forward to it very much. I really wanna love this module, the Viggen is one of my favourite aircraft and the Heatblur representation has a massive potential: it looks fantastic and is generally speaking very good but at the same time, has annoying bugs and missing features, lacking basic animations etc that ruin the overall experience. I am sincerely hoping they will be sorted in due course.

Let's hope it's also improved for the upcoming patch, the HUD is almost unreadable against bright background, making operations very difficult.

Hey, thanks for your response! Good to know that mirrors are coming!

In just four days the sheer amount of bugs and missing features is crazy. No mirrors? I mean it works in all of my modules but the Viggen has nothing but an ugly grey texture.

Will do, thanks! Didn't know there's a repair available, but I found it now!

Hi! Ten minutes ago, when starting Open Beta, it offered an update. I went ahead and the update started, files downloading etc. However, towards the end of the update an error message did pop up and since then I cannot start the game. The below error message was generated. What am I supposed to do? I already had this once, two weeks ago after an update: back then I removed and completely reinstalled everything but I do not wanna spend long hours with a full reinstall. Is there a known solution? 00000.014 --- Log file: C:\Users\kityatyi\AppData\Local\Temp\DCS.openbeta\autoupdate_templog.txt 00000.000 === Log opened UTC 2018-07-04 14:37:02 00000.008 INFO : DCS_Updater/2.9.2.69 (Windows NT 10.0.17134; Win64; en-US) 00000.008 INFO : cmdline: "E:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin\DCS_updater.exe" 00000.011 STATUS: Initializing... 00000.013 INFO : basedir: E:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta 00000.013 INFO : dcs_variant.txt: openbeta 00000.014 INFO : DCS/2.5.2.18736.400 (x86_64; EN; WORLD,POLYCHOPSIM_SA342,FA-18C,UH-1H,MIG-21BIS,RAZBAM_AV8BNA,MI-8MTV2,AJS37,A-10C) 00000.014 INFO : branch: openbeta 00000.015 INFO : Skipping update check, only 0.1 hours passed since the last one. 00000.015 INFO : DCS/2.5.2.18736.400 (x86_64; EN; WORLD,POLYCHOPSIM_SA342,FA-18C,UH-1H,MIG-21BIS,RAZBAM_AV8BNA,MI-8MTV2,AJS37,A-10C) 00000.015 INFO : branch: openbeta 00000.015 ERROR: Can't run E:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin/DCS.exe: (2) The system cannot find the file specified. 00143.734 === Log closed.

It might sound like nitpicking but it is exactly the lack of animation in the knob that bothers me. But I guess it might change with further updates.

It would be nice if knob moved. Such basic function, in a high fidelity sim it's a must. The uge amount of non clickable switches remind me of non clickable cockpit modules.

After messaging the guy who recorded the video linked in the previous post I can now confirm that he does experience the exact same problem on their MP server: the eyepoint of the Viggen is messed up, it is too low and too much close to the instrument panel. Exactly this is what I experienced on another server. No other module does this, only the Viggen. Very strange and quite annoying, in fact it makes is undesirable to fly the aircraft on the given server which is a huge inconvenience,

I get what you mean - but see it differently. As long as the title is EA, I can't complain though and I am hoping that Heatblur are gonna sort these issues out.

Thank you kindly!
