PROBLEM : Shkval Slew Drifts, Can't Reset It To Center

[DieHard]

This happens to me on the 104th Phoenix server in MP. Sometimes.

 

All of a sudden, after firing Vikhrs, sometimes, what I call the "targeting cursor" Shkval Slew (left, right, up, down and recenter) goes haywire, the targeting circle drifting right. I can reset it to its zero-point, then it drifts right and back to zero repeatedly. Does not stay put after "RControl + i" = Shkval Center.

 

Does something overheat?

 

This happened today, I had no battle damage, only fired 6 missiles.

 

How to fix, in-flight, on station at the target area?

 

Had to RTB and do a repair, 50K back to base.

Is your problem similar with this (The “Crazy Shkval" Problem)?

Hi Devrim,

 

Thanks for the link.

 

Yes, I think this is the same issue.

 

BS1 was my 2nd DCS module after getting the BestBuy boxed set Warthog A-10C and "Log On" boxed is how I started with you guys.

 

I usually fly the Ka-50 on the 104th Phoenix's server in MP (1.5.3 Stable version) lately, usually by myself, but I'm always looking for buddies to fly with. Does occur sometimes. And sometimes other ground pounders join in.

 

I usually play RED side because less people are on and better frame rates. Have not seen this issue (problem) in a long time.

 

When this occurred recently on the 104th Phoenix in MP I was flying Ka-50 on BLUE side. Sometimes I play Blue to get to the other waypoints progressions. Rarely ever get past WP1 flying Red.

 

Two times, two separate days. I was experiencing bad lag ballpark 20fps or less Blue on 104th. Gonna' get a new video card one of these days.

 

Anyway, problem occurred.

 

Tried everything I could think of to fix it. Gave up, fly RTB. Mission was "2_OP_Liberty_V5_Mirage2000". WP1 back to base is 71K. (Used to run 10K races, that's 6.2 miles.)

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I turned all weapons systems off. Half-way back, in flight, just for the heck of it I fire up the weapons system, Shkval slew is working fine!! I turned around back to target area and shot the rest of my Vikhrs.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Go figure.

 

So, I think something overheated or some common denominator like that.

 

Have not had this issue flying RED side.

 

I use the CH Products Pro Throttle's Mini-Stick w/USB plug for slewing and reset it to center with pushing the Mini-Stick in (I think it is pushbutton #1, the Mode switch). Profile was created by 104th's Crunch (username). His download is at Revvin's CH Hangar website.

 

That's why I chose "DieHard" as a handle, too easy to log off, restart PC, and get another copter. Not me, I fly back to get a repair. LOL!

 

I will read that whole thing you referred me to, and any links off of it.

 

Thanks. And thanks for your great mods, mod ideas and downloads.

I see I am talking to myself; about 18 months ago I replied to the thread above, #'s 137 & 138. Well, it worked, then. LOL!

 

Wonder what changed?

 

What's the common denominator?

 

I have Win 7 Pro. Does this occur using Win 10?

 

Did DirectX change in game?

 

Wonder what the DCS developers think? Have never heard a peep from these guys concerning this issue.

 

(How I feel about purchasing new products is : How about fixing the old stuff before creating the new stuff??)

Hi!!!! :)

 

I think I was out of city, that's why I missed this thread in those days! So sorry (I've found here from my User Control Panel / Reputation Page).

 

Yes, no any movement from ED side about this issue. Maybe this bug has not been determined exactly yet; what causes it, in which situations (or circumstances) Shkval goes crazy, we don't know.

 

In those days I did many many experiments, but no luck. And then only two days later, my Shkval went crazy in a MP mission. It was really at the middle of the mission, it was hard to examine the track.

 

Well; The only clue I have is that if Shkval chasing a moving target, and if somehow it loses it, then Shkval won't stop or you can't stop it. It keeps insistently slewing to the direction of the target.

 

Ok. I'll keep investigating... :)

Press Reset.

Its the only way to get back to a normal Shkval slew.

+1 Do it fast and reacquire!

 

Simple ghosts in the machine that need to be adapted to.

That is what I do as well, have the reset assigned to one of my HOTAS buttons for ease.

Sometimes that thing just gets a mind of it's own lol...
