*SA342 BUG REPORTS*

[Yuya6104]

Could you improve gauges textures? Because at this very moment they are probably the worst in DCS World. Even gauges textures of the oldest module Ka-50 looks better and smoother, not to mention A-10C. Some pics for comparison:

 

Those are not bug report related, Should post that in the Gazelle enhansment thread

The gauges of the Gazelle are beautifull but it's an old helicopter and the gauge too.

Do you mean that in real helicopter gauges are not round and look like polyhedrons?) I doubt.

It's a very knowed technique to reduce the count of polys and to optimize the 3D model. Without that you'll have some lag in the simulator.

Cannot set the altimeter baro pressure lower than 1011 hpa.

Yes I know, but at the same time in A-10C(five years old now) or Huey or others I could barely see these polygons, I mean they are not such noticeably as in Gazelle. Of course there is balance between polygons quantity and FPS and probably Polychop underestimated role of quantity of these gauges polygons.

Description: Ukrainian SPAAA ZSU-23-4 Shilka not displaying on RWR reciever, even when firing on me.

DCS Version: 1.5.3.53279

Steam: Nope.

Map: Caucasus

SP/MP: MP

Reproducible: Played a mission twice and it happened both times. My friend flew an A-10 as I was playing JTAC for him and he said it didn't seem like it showed up for him either, so it may not be a problem with this module, but with the Ukrainian Shilka. It may be that the thing is not radar guided, but it does say Shilka and not Afghanski, so I figure something's up.

Step to Reproduce:

1. Make sure Ukraine is Red coalition and USA is blue.

1. Place a Ukrainian ZSU-23-4 Shilka somewhere.

2. Place a hot start USA SA-342 Gazelle somewhere in easy flying distance.

4. Fly to the Shilka and never recieve RWR warning of your explodey cannon-round-filled doom.

Screenshot/Video available: Nope.

Mission File: Artillery Strike.miz

Controllers: Logitech Xtreme 3D Pro with 70% saturation and 10 curve on yaw-pitch-roll axes.

OS: Win 7

Any Additional Information:

Hi.

 

I don't know if this was reported, but Command Box power switch sounds repeatedly in NTTR map.

Track IR pb in DCS 1.5.4 beta

 

Here a problem I noticed with track IR and gazelle 342M and 342L .... http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=169103

 

Vr is disabled as describe here http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2821188&postcount=39

Hey,

 

The NADIR "4" key binding is somehow pressing the "5" in the actual cockpit, so the only way to select waypoint for is by manually clicking it.

Another thing I've noticed is tha the Autopilot Altitude Hold button is not a toggle, you have to hold the key press in order to maintain the switch in place, same for the speed hold.

In addition, the flare dispenser cover behaves in the same manner.

Blue Window Tint in SA342L

 

Really looking forward to the L-version and other Gazelle updates in 2.0.

 

I can't find any mention of the dark blue, almost opaque tint in the right seat top window of the L-version. This is the opening you look through in steep right hand turns. The visibility of the Gazelle, especially without the copilot visible, is one of the best aspects of it IMO.

 

This blue tint shows up on the exterior of other gazelles as well.

 

Thanks for a great module.

Online bugs that developed for me today on the TFP server.

 

1) auto hover would not work after about 25 minutes in the air after multiple hovers unless I land and then take off again. Everything in parameters.

 

2) was forced to do an auto repair. After the count down and the helo started to rise up it blew apart and spun into the ground.

We found today that if you have "Show pilot body in cockpit" enabled in options, When you join multi crew gazelle your game will crash.

 

 

Also when changing gazelles from Mistral to L or M from the pilot seat while flying would give us a CTD. If you crash the gazelle or bail out it would not CTD.

Please create a new thread and fill out the bug report template.

Also having CTD since 19 August 2016 update in single player when helicopter crashes. Never had the problem before 19 August 2016 update. Will create a new thread later...

Since the latest update (today), now my CH Rudder Pedals are not recognized in the Gazelle.

I had no problem in the Mustang only minutes earlier. But I get Nothing in the Gazelle.

That said, while checking my Control Options, I noticed much of my Saved Configs are all screwed up now but I'm sure that's a DCS/ED thing and not specific to the Gazelle. Who Knows.

 

All I know is Every Single Time I get in this thing (after any update) I WASTE and hour or so dicking around but never get flying.

Someday I'd like to try flying the gazelle without having to go through a bunch of BS .. to no avail !

[Len62]

Pretty sure it was mentioned somewhere that with the new update you would need to re-enter control info. I know it's a pain but it's related to the new mistral and multi-crew versions being introduced.

[M460]

The Gazelle L, Main panel console red lights dont turn on anymore. The Electronic sight is visible even outside the glass when you lower or shift head to the sides.

[awjudge]

Seems to be an MP bug, if you're the co-pilot, you can request a rearm and you'll see the weapons placed on the aircraft. The pilot won't. Weapons only work when the pilot requests the rearm.

[JCorrion]

When flying Coop the sight of the HOT3 doesn't sync with the pilot.

 

For example. I have my sight right in the middle of a T-55, and for my friend who is flying the helo it looks like I'm aiming a couple of meters left or right of the target. When I fire it completely misses the target and the missile hits where my friend is seeing the sight on my monitor. Is this an issue any of you guys have run in to? or is it an issue due to one of us hosting. (We never have desync problems when hosting normal missions)

[SnowTiger]

Out of MANY hours of trying, I have yet to have a decent flight in the Gazelle (either model) IF AT ALL, let alone had the opportunity to even try the Multi-player Co-Pilot (I didn't even know that was working yet).

I spend more time setting things up and re-setting them up and trying to resolve issues and relearning stuff, that I haven't been able to enjoy this craft since it was released.

I'll just wait until the snow is deep ... then I might try again.

Hello,

With Mistral Gazelle when I'm destroy by ennemi or I crash my Gazelle on the ground my DCS crash.

Bug or not ?

My DCS is 1.5.4.55952.150 stable version.

Thanks in advance, Skull.

It is a known WIP issue and mentioned in the Multiplayer user manual.

 

IIRC it happens due to lag and differing camera slew rates between the host and client - I believe a work around is to re-sync the camera by switching the mode control to “V” (VEILLE–Standby), so both host and client cameras point to the rear, and then reacquiring the target. An alternative is to follow your friends guidance.
