1.5.4 bugs

[The Black Swan]

Found several bugs, wasn't sure if I should make a separate thread for each one so here goes...

 

-head tracking disabled message keeps showing up even when it is still working

- Music restarts every time you move to the main menu. Wouldn't be a problem, except that it starts in the loading screen when you start the game and restarts when the menu appears.

- overall FPS drop when looking at ground objects, this one is very inconsistent but noticeable.

It was really bad in a practice mission I made for the M2K where I had a bunch of vehicles on a runway to attack. The mission used to run fine with nothing more than usual and Fps drops. But now what used to stay in the 40 and 50 range will now suddenly jump to 20 FPS.

- like others I can't see powerlines anymore

- I cannot to get bombs from the M2k to detonate anymore. With the master arm on I've tried different modes and it still doesn't work. Tested this with the GBU 12 and snake eye.

- And last of all, TackIR sometimes won't work in the M2K. When I do get it to work, The awesome new external view TrackIR controls don't control the M2K. But yet it works fine with other aircraft.

 

Some of these issues could just be razbams fault

Overall like the new update though.

Really hope fixing bugs won't slow down 2.5 :cry:

head tracking reported.

 

music reported

 

not seeing a fps drop personally

 

power lines reported

 

not sure about m2k and bombs would need to check

[The Black Swan]

Also forgot to add that FPS seems to drop more than usual when looking at runways...

Kinda weird

Yeah, usually when new updates show up and people complain about performance issues I don't see anything. But with this update it is very noticeable, despite being a little inconsistent.

[BIGNEWY]

add your system spec to your signature or post, consider revisiting your options and settings

[The Black Swan]

Ok but these are drops, not very steady...

i usually get over 80 fps in external views but now it can jump to 30 for a minute.

seems to be worst with the M2K

Has anyone else had the External TrackIR feature not work on the mirage?

[Ghosthr]

The bombs on the M2k needs to activate the fuse before release.

- This.

- Trim doesn't work for some aircrafts/helos (using force feedback device, G27 for rudder in particular). Alt+J is a temporary solution.

- Control indicator doesn't show up in Hawk and CC101. :(

HAWK and C101 do not have control indicators by default post to the 3rd party's to ask for this feature to be added

dont forget AIM-9P5 and F-15 load out a hot mess.

For trackir with the 2000C see here: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=169878

 

You have to delete your trackir input file

Ditto here with very noticeable FPS drop in performance. My card is NVIDIA.

[Weltensegler]

- F15 guns hardly ir dont at all damage flankers. Hits are good on all other aircrafts.

Only tested in multiplayer. 4 stable seconds on flankers at close range firing didnt even cause a smoke trail.

Again no problem on other aircrafts.

 

- maybe not a bug or just related to invisible aim9p5 but the dont track or hit even under pefect condition often. Not meaning to open a missile discussion! If this is intended I just learn to deal with it.

Just delete the options.lua in saved games/dcs/config

 

It will restore your options back to the default, which is a PITA, but it will speed frame rates up a lot.

I have the same problem with the trim in the A-10C. My devices are a hotas warthog and g940 for rudder pedals. I have the force feedback option off, and works fine in the previous version and in the 2.0. Disconnecting the g940 the trim works but I lose pedals :( Obviously the problem is with the force feedback...

 

I will hope for a solution, thanks.

A-10C Wingtip Vorticies always visible even in 1knot airspeeds

[EAKMotorsports]

cockpit lights are dimmer I mean the lights that tell if afterburner is on, starting engines, etc..

That's just because the A-10C flies 1 knot with attitude. :D

KA-50.

 

No repairs, no new ammunition!!!!!

 

Downgraded to 1.5.3. and it works.

 

If I control take over from track view:

 

Master Arm switch is off

 

Low-High Cannon Rate of Fire (ROF) switch is on high

[BIGNEWY]

Hi please provide a track for the ka-50.

 

Rearm is working for me. ensure airfield is friendly and you are using intercom

[Pâte]

Dont know if it's new, didnt flew the A-10C at night since a long but the cockpit FLOOD light are useless. Even with the rotary to the maxiumum we do not see nothing ... A little boring when we try to click on some switch ^^.

 

By the way just a question, is the Night vision still available ? Didnt found it in the controls.

Try closing the canopy?

[Pâte]

Canopy was closed ^^. But indeed could have been the source of the problem

 

EDIT : done a test on the rollback version 1.5.3, i confirm that it's a new bug.

May have already been reported...

FARP atc doesn't recognize when helicopter has taken off. Radio menu stays at "abort takeoff". Therefore unable to ask for nav assistance, request landing etc...
