[Reported] F10 Map: Map symbols but no map

[ReggiePerrin]

The F10 map is not displaying the actual map itself, see screenshots. The map symbols are displaying correctly and are updating, i.e. a pair of IA M2ks took off as I was viewing the map and their symbols tracked across the grey background in the correct direction.

 

With the map fully zoomed out then some of the map squares are shown on the lefthand side, see screenshot, the squares shown change as I move my head.

 

Selecting the various options on the righthand side, Map, SAT, Alt, etc. made no difference to the map display (just a grey background)

 

[HTC Vive, screenshots cropped, and I'm assuming that as the Kneeboard now works in VR, then the F10 VR Map issue was also fixed.. and boy is the Kneeboard great to have :) )

Yes, I have this as well.

Any chance at an update ref. a hotfix for this? It's about the only major bad thing left for VR users in 1.5.4 that I can see.

 

And just an additional thought on the F10... If based on that new checkbox in the config options menus that we might be able to mark up the F10 map in game in the near future... Is there anyway to make it pop up in your view similar to the briefing screen vs. taking your view back to the hangar?

 

Thanks,

Same thing, kind of hard to correlate in a battle without seeing the terrain.

Would be nice to have this fixed soon but VR is still awesome in DCS!

[vicx]

This is going to sound funny; but something I did while editing lua files and config completely fixed this. And then I repaired my install and now I have the same problem as the rest of you.

 

Very curious but I can't remember what I did.

[SageOT]

Dude, think hard on what you did I'd love to know.

Come on ED, how hard can it be to fix this ? :/

[antagonist]

I have the same issue as well.

[SageOT]

People in the know... can we please get an update on this, or even any workarounds until it's officially fixed. It is really messing with my positive vibe man.

This is still an issue with the latest beta. Any news about a fix?

[ponhard]

[Kuse]

Can you fix it fast please?! Its realy hard to play without map...

 

Cheers Kuse

[SageOT]

Ok ED. Several patches and this is still not fixed. Obviously it's more of a pain in the... than we know.

 

Would you mind giving a little customer feedback though and drop a message to let us know what's up/why this is going on?

 

It's frustrating as a customer that, to my knowledge, we haven't seen this issue addressed anywhere.

 

Again, I don't doubt you're working on it but just a quick, for dummies, message about what's up would be great.

 

Thanks,

 

Sage

+1 and still not working :( 2016.10.18. :helpsmilie:

The map currently works in 2.0, which means the issue relates only to 1.5.4. Why fix something that will be obsolete in a month or two when (presumably) we'll be getting 2.5?

 

I seriously doubt whether ED will even consider fixing it.

[Pat-O]

I am quite new to this game and realy sad about that there is no bug-fix or workaround either.

[Sharkku]

Reading the changelog for the new update, it's absolutely stunning that things like "AI UH-1H will not able to fly with broken tail rotor" and the likes takes precedence over fixing a broken map. While nice to have AI being affected by broken tailrotors, it's not nearly as game-breaking as not being able to use the map. But then again, us VR flyers are a minority...

 

Edit: I had to eat these words, the map was fixed in 1.5.5!

Fingers crossed that the fiddling around to add the f10 markers accidentally fixed it

They fixed it for 2.0 already, but 2.0 Used a Different Terrain System (t4),

Likely they had to fix differently for T3/
