ILS power switch cannot be turned off

[BManx2000]

In the A-10C, I can't turn off the ILS power switch. Neither right clicking on the switch nor using the keyboard bind works. I noticed this because it is preventing me from completing the landing training mission.

Confirmed, is there a .lua edit or something that can be done or is it just one of *those* long standing bugs we've come to accept?

[Rongor]

I confirm those switches can react buggy.

But I don't see a real problem at this one, since when you reached a point when it is ok to switch ILS off, you will have managed a successfull landing already and so the lesson that tutorial wants to teach is learnt. Just don't bother with completing it.

What matters is whether you understood how to land by ILS.

Hi,

 

This is not the first bug with the ILS button :

I hoped it would be solved in the next update, but...

 

Cheers,

I am also experiencing this problem with the ILS power switch and the pit light switches also seem to be having a problem, they will only turn in one direction now, only noticed it now after the latest update. A cockpit mod would not cause it would it? I mean thats just textures right?

Same problem here after the latest update. And now I can't perform successful shutdown procedures anymore in the Mapleflag missions ("you missed a checklist item, cadet!" :mad:). I'm sure it worked before 1.2.11 and it has nothing to do with a cockpit mod because I don't have one installed.

Same here, wish there was a "Save" feature for Missions.

Yeah, as a new user this was pretty confusing, I mashed that button hard before giving up.

I realise it's not breaking the rest of the sim but it is stopping me being able to finish the training and some missions that require a shutdown.

 

I just saw DCS updated via Steam, anyone know where I can find patch notes?

To solve ILS power off problem, one option is to downgrade to the version before the bug was introduced.

 

You can do that using the following instructions:

 

 

Start

Type CMD

Open Command Prompt.

Type: CD C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Bin\

Type: DCS_updater.exe update 1.2.10.32582

Once ED fixes the bug then the next time you run the updater it will update to the latest version

[Vulpes]

Does anybody know already, if this is fixed in today's 1.2.11 update?

[FSKRipper]

ATM not, let's hope the next patch or finally 2.0 will bring salvation :music_whistling:

Hi,

 

I have managed to fix this by modifying clickabledata.lua around line 896:

(...)
--ILS
elements["PTR-ILSCP-PWR"] = {
(...)
   cycle = false,
}

to

(...)
--ILS
elements["PTR-ILSCP-PWR"] = {
(...)
   cycle = true,
}

Best Regards,

This is now part of the latest update to DCS World Beta. Heck of an update from ED this time out.

[Bucker23]

NEW: D.C.S.1.2.12 will be available as Open Beta for a while (see official updates, by USSR RIK)
