Bf 109 K4, bug ?

[Lenux]

I deleted the folder for Bf 109, after i uninstalled the game.

I have Bf 109, P-51D, A-10C, M2000-C, MiG15, MiG 21, F-86 Sabre and FC3

Maybe you can zip that folder and load it here, I (or someone else) can try and import your settings to see if I get anything crazy.

[Lenux]

Ok, i attached here the folder

Bf-109K-4.rar

Ok, i uploaded a video, only 3-4 seconds, but you can see what i mean.

Jesus christ how big is this file? A 3-4 second video in .avi format shouldn't be over 100mb.

 

EDIT: Oh, 4k, that explains it.

 

EDIT TO THE EDIT: When I open it up, it looks like a slide show. Drop your resolution down to 1920x1080 and see what happens.

I deleted all the X55 settings, played only with the keyboard / TrackIR 5 On

Same issue.

More analysis required

 

Hi Lenux,

first of all, I feel really sorry for you; this must be frustrating. You say that in in some scenario the problem occurs only after some time. This sounds more like a hardware problem (something warming up and malfunctioning). But then you say it only happens with the Bf-109 and that would speak against a hardware problem.

Could there be a hardware problem that would cause problems only for the Bf-109? In theory this could happen if there were a button or key with a problem, and this button is only active for the Bf-109.

The .diff.lua files you have uploaded don't give any hint. I suppose you have not modified the default.lua files under "C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\Bf-109K-4\Input\Bf-109K-4" ?

Still, it might be worthwhile to look at these. Can you upload that folder?

I'm still a bit obsessed with the fact that the Num 5 key causes a shaking display when the TrackIR is active. I tried this and found that Num 5 does this for most modules but not all: (Only 3 modules tested in 2.02)

------------1.5.3-------- 2.0.2

A-10C ----- Yes -------- YES

Bf-109 ------Yes ---------YES

F-86F -------No -------- Yes!!!

FW-190 ---- Yes

SU-27 ------Yes

F-15C------- No

KA-50 ------ Yes

L-39 ----- very little

M-2000 -- only when looking right

MIG-21 ----- No

P-51D when looking forward

SU-25T ---- Yes

 

In my humble opinion Num 5 should be disabled for all modules when TrackIR is active just like the other Num keys. But of course I don't know if that would help Lenux.

Regards,

Hans

I think the issue is because of the Num 5 key, and i dont know how to fix it

Hi Lenux,

I don't see anything suspicious in these files. Also I see from the files you uploaded earlier that you have removed Num5 from the keyboard configuration; so at least in theory, if a hardware malfunction produced a code equal to Num5 it could not affect the game.

I guess I'm at the end of my wisdom. I recommend you contact support with this and point them to this thread so they can see what we have found so far.

Hals und Beinbruch!

Which support i should contact, LeCuvier ?

Thank you very much for trying to help me.

Can you try one thing for me, there is a generic or general (something like that) section for controls, go in there and clear everything out, including axis assignments. I have had things conflict with that before.

[Lenux]

thank you, I will try later, when I get home

[NineLine]

Also do you have multiple controllers hooked to your puter? Maybe gamepads or wheels, something like that? Or other devices like drawing tables, anything like that?

[Lenux]

I'm using the Xbox wireless gamepad, but only for Project Cars

try removing that before you play next time. Just for the heck of it.

Do you know where the location is ? I cant find it

Thank you

[NineLine]

In the controls section, if you click on the drop down for all aircraft, you should see general.

[Lenux]

I check again, but I didn't see it there

[NineLine]

Hmm, weird, did you try it with your game pad disconnected?

[Lenux]

No, i didnt try it with the gamepad disconnected, yet

I want to try to remove this folder, but i can't find it

Please check on your DCS folder, where the location is.

Thank you

Hi Lenux, I guess Sith isn't going to wake up for a while. Don't delete any folder or file!

In the game (DCS) click on options (where you assign buttons and axes to sim functions) and in the aircraft selection dropdown select "General". I had never realized this existed myself and just went there for the first time. And there is a number of assignments that Sith recommends you to take out, because they might conflict with the settings for specific aircraft. Don't forget the axis settings!

[Lenux]

Thank you, LeCuvier

When i select " General " i have nothing assigned, there ( except the keyboard )

On the Axis settings, i have only Pitch / Roll for the joystick and Throttle for the HOTAS

Strange, I had a number of joystick/throttle/pedal button assignments there. Among others, the "View center" was assignmed to JOY_BTN5 on joystick, throttle and pedals.

I have never been into "General" before so these assignments were created by DCS. I guess this is because I have the TM HOTAS.

Did you remove the Pitch and Roll assignments from "General"?

[Lenux]

I dont know if i removed the Pitch and Roll assignments from "General " because i tried a lot of settings.

Should i try to uninstall Bf 109 ( delete the Bf-109K-4 folder from Saved Games ) and reinstall this, again ??

No, you have already re-installed several times. But delete all axis and all button assignments (except keyboard and mouse), and try if the problem persists.
