Couple of issues - F15 rolling, nav pinned to wrong side

[allmhuran]

Hrm, can't find a bug forum under FC3

 

Updated about an hour ago and my F15 now rolls to the right at any altitude (including veering right substantially on the runway). Checked right-ctrl+enter and my controls are centered. No significant wind in the mission. No weird stores configuration. This seems to be new to the latest patch.

 

Also, I've noticed the F15 nav steering indicator seems to pin itself to the wrong side of the hud when the indicator is outside the hud boundary. It appears to tell you to make a right hand turn even if it would be quicker to turn left, but only if a left turn towards the nav point would take you through 0 degrees.

 

So, for example, if you are flying south east and the nav marker is north east, the indicator will correctly be pinned on the left of the hud. But if you are flying north east and the nav point is north west, the marker will be on the right of the HUD, directing you through a 270 degree turn to the right instead of a 90 degree turn to the left. This also seems to happen in the A-10C, but I just bought FC3 so I have just started seeing it in the F15.

 

I'm not sure whether or not this is new to the F15 latest patch, but it's been happening in the hog for quite some time now. Not as significant a problem in the A10 because you can always check with the TAD, but it's a real pain in the F15.

First is known...

Second issue I will look into tomorrow and report it, if I can reproduce it at my end.

 

Thanks

THanks Mav. I saw the nav issue happen in the third F15 campaign mission, which directs you to fly through the mountains to ambush the enemy AWACS. My diagnosis (that it occurs when turning through north) comes from there (300+ degree turns starting at 300 knots in the mountains are... tricky!)

 

Might be off on the exact diagnosis, ralfi's "warthog's really bad day" video shows a hud nav marker problem at about 4:40 here

The circumstances don't match what I described, although he is flying "northish". If I can figure out put a quick mission together I'll see if I can get better data. Edited December 13, 2014 by allmhuran

Cheers, I'll have a good look tomorrow!

 

Throw me the mission over if you get the chance, if not, its not a disaster. Doesn't sound to hard to reproduce quickly! I should be able to get it :)

Yes, I've noticed this also and when first flying introductory flight of the campaign and not being familiar with the waypoints, I got lost once arriving at a waypoint when the indicator moved in the opposite direction to where I was supposed to go and I followed it in the opposite direction to get me around to the correct direction - big unnecessary turn to the left instead of the right.

Quick demo mission file here, it does demonstrate the bug https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2m8Wm1qifJuaDlkTFBLRW1qWVk/view?usp=sharing

 

Quick video of flight through the waypionts. Shows the heading indicator shifting when passing through north. Here's a video of a flight through

Great job on the video I will get this submitted to the devs today after testing!
