Airhunter Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 While the Tomcat is by far the most immersive, fun and rewarding plane to fly in DCS there are still some smaller "visual" things (apart from the random CTD's every now and then), which I assumed were an easy fix for the first couple of patches. I am not sure how high up on the priority list those are atm but I really do hope they get fixed up quickly to move on to system fixes and more important stuff. Those things consist of: - The ITT engine temp reading which should be EGT in the -B Tomcat. (I again assume this is only a visual thing and does not require to adjust the scale) - The fact that the ejection seat arming handle is always "disarmed" in the mirrors. Setting it to always be armed in said mirrors would be a much better solution. - The AUX and Accumulator brake pressure gauges behind the stick are always in the red zone and dont seem to be simulated. - Also, the helmet visor handles on the pilot's helmets are the wrong way around. The "star shaped" visor handle should be down on the rail (above one's forehead) if the visors are down. (See attached pictures) This is no real complaint or call for urgency but merely a post so that the devs are aware of this and also a way to get some feedback on whether these things are an easy fix or not.

FoxTwo Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 - The ITT engine temp reading which should be EGT in the -B Tomcat. (I again assume this is only a visual thing and does not require to adjust the scale) We have the A model engine panel in this cockpit, I think it's a known issue.

Airhunter Posted April 21, 2019 Author Share Posted April 21, 2019 We have the A model engine panel in this cockpit, I think it's a known issue. True but as far as I know the only difference is the temperature reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nealius Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I could be mistaken, but I thought someone explained the ITT marking being due to our Tomcat being modeled after a -B upgrade, which would have previously been an -A model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, what we have is an A+, which was later refered as the -B. Still, the engine swap out would mandate a respective gauge/instrument change, as the F110 limitations are based on those.

Mnemonic Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 Also screens show-through symbolics of other screens and gauges, like here: And quite critical - our airspeed indicators don't show less than 80 knots... But these, like helmet knobs are known and acknowledged bugs, I also hope to see them resolved soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Please fix these nitpicks of minimal importance before getting the big CTD/Jester/TWS Auto stuff out of the way!" Simmer down, Hoss. They proceed in an orderly fashion. And quite critical - our airspeed indicators don't show less than 80 knots... Because the indicator quite literally, and physically, doesn't show less than 80 knots.

No, it’s not, and Heatblur acknowledged it as a bug, here is a thread: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=235906 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunaticfringe Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 There's a difference between "showing" and "indicating". The gauge can indicate a value less than 80. It does not, however, have gradation to show less than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simmer down, Hoss. They proceed in an orderly fashion. I mean, sure but those are system related issues, those I pointed out are of a purely visual nature. I doubt the same guy working on TWS, Jester etc. will be working on the visuals/modelling as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
