Clock usage

[Gideon]

Problem: When I try to use the aircraft clock (Rshift c), it seems that the second hand always keep running no matter if I stop or reset the clock.

 

Q: Does anyone use the clock to shoot missiles in succession? Can you give an example to use it to your advantage.

Can you use the stopwatch or the flight clock?

I've just checked here, and both functions seem unavailable. I know it was fine a few months ago.

 

From what I know the stopwatch is useful for BVR F-Pole/A-Pole timing. I didn't use it much so I can't be more precise.

 

Could anyone confirm the clock functions are currently unavailable on the Su-27?

The key bindings seem to have been removed but, when I put them back in, it works fine.

 

Gideon, the first time you press the keys, the stopwatch sweep hand starts. The 2nd press, stops it. And the 3rd press resets it to zero. That's how it's working on my end.

 

Also on my end, LShift + C was tied to "cut burst" and the stopwatch function was blank. I had to reset it.

As far as I know the start/stop/reset is now binded to Rshift C.

I see a blank-, half white dot, and a white dot in the aircraft clock when using the keybinding, but it doesn't effect the stopwatch hand. (Right little clock.) However it seems that the left little clock starts to count.

Q: What is the function of the left little clock btw ?

OK. Shows you how much attention I pay to the clock these days. :)

 

There are two key bindings for the clock:

 

• RShift+C: Flight Clock start/stop/reset
  
• (Unbound and, so, you'll have to set it yourself): Elapsed Time Clock start/stop/reset
  

 

The Flight Clock is the small left-hand dial. Use it to time anything you want. How long you're on a particular course, time until your next visit to the O club, whatever. It starts when you enter the cockpit and, as such, is a mission timer counting minutes and hours. The first time you press the RShift+C combo, it stops and a half circle appears to inform you that it is stopped. The next time you press that combo, it resets to "0" and a full circle appears to inform you that it's reset and ready to start timing the next thing you want to time.

 

The Elapsed Time Clock (the large red hands) are presently unbound. You'll have to set it up for yourself in Options. Once you do, you'll have control of the large red hands.

 

[EDIT]You might find that you actually have a default key binding for "Elapsed Time Clock start/stop/reset". It occurs to me that I have altered enough bindings over time that I might have removed it to use LShift+C for something else at one point. I don't recall doing that but...

 

At any rate, they are referenced in the Options just as I referenced them: "Flight Clock start/stop/reset" and "Elapsed Time Clock start/stop/reset". [EDIT ENDS]

 

[EDIT 2]Yes, that's mine.[EDIT 2 ENDS]

Here is a video I just made on the clock in the SU-27.
