[RESOLVED] AoA readout bug while taxi-ing after landing

[atsmith6]

I noticed this in the Mig-21 distributed with DCS build 1.2.14.35734. I don't know whether it occurred in earlier versions.

 

The bug has thus far only appeared for me after landing. While taxi-ing at about 50km/h, sometimes when I tap the brake to steer the AoA guage needle moves instantly to the maximum value and the SUA warning lights start to flicker. Once, I've managed to get this to stop by tapping the brake a few times, but all other times it continued regardless of any efforts and I couldn't get it to stop.

 

While I obviously don't know the underlying code the behaviour seems to hint at an overflow or NaN resulting from an unexpected or out of bounds input value. Of course, ignore this last bit if you prefer. The bug just feels rather familiar, like some I've written myself in the past.

 

Hope this is useful.

SUA Warning lights should be blocked with landing gear. With extended gear the lights should be disabled.

 

But yes, i can confirm it for windy conditions
