rweaves6 Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 1st off I just want to say that I'm absolutely LOVING flying the F5E in DCS and I think that Belsimtek have done a wonderful job. This plane coupled with my new Oculus has given rebirth to a 30 year old hobby and I'd argue that I'm enjoying it more than ever. I've flown the BFM campaign and I'm nearly done the ACM campaign (on the Mig21 mission). I've noticed that throughout most of the ACM missions some of the instruments quit working and was curious if I'm alone on this. I tried a DCS repair to no avail. I never noticed any problems in the BFM missions so I'm not sure if this is an ACM campaign issue, a DCS issue, or an F5E issue. All the gauges work at the beginning of the missions but usually shortly after I turn West after takeoff I lose the Vertical Speed Indicator (stays at level), the Airspeed Indicator shows inaccurate (usually 300-350 kts), and the Altimeter is inaccurate (usually a few thousand feet low). On top of that, sometimes the Airspeed indicator goes to 0 kts and the stall warning comes on. I did a search and didnt find anything but a thread about the mig21 instruments. Thanks.

rweaves6 Posted November 1, 2017 Author Posted November 1, 2017 (edited) Turn on the pitot heat Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Ok thanks, I'll try that. This makes sense as it begins when I gain some altitude. I admit that I haven't bothered with that or the engine anti icer as I didn't think they were modeled. Where I'm confused is I never bothered with them throughout the BFM campaign and I never had a problem. I'll try it tonight when I get home. Edited November 1, 2017 by rweaves6 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
rweaves6 Posted November 2, 2017 Author Posted November 2, 2017 Well that worked, I set the pitot heat and all gauges functioned properly. Thanks again, I learned something :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
