TV/Camera Not Working

[dresoccer4]

hey all. i'm working on the weapons tutorial in the NTTR and following along step by step. however, ever after waiting several minutes, the TV never shows an image from the camera. i've followed the tutorial to a T, but there's just a crosshairs but no image. :(

 

i'm on the newest update. has anyone else experienced this and know of a quick fix?

 

thanks!

[dresoccer4]

after digging around some more i now have read that this is a known bug and the whole TV system is broken :(

bummer i was just getting a hang of it! oh well, c'est la vie

Huey cargo cam is out as well since last update. Wonder if bug is related.

I have the same issue. All I can see is white symbology with black background instead of video image I should be getting. Happen right after the latest 2.5.1 update. At the moment HOT3 missiles are impossible to use, hopefully it can be fixed soon.

 

Edit: I was looking at the wrong section in the changelog, they've added this issue in known issues at the end. A hotfix should be coming soon.

I just don't get how something that wasn't even worked on (at least to my knowledge .. because there were no issues with the camera), gets muffed up with an update ?

 

This sort of thing happens far too often. Things work great .... until there is an unrelated update.

 

What a drag.

They moved out of beta with a key component of what is arguably the primary Gazelle variant broken. Embarrassing for them, and frustrating for us, but hopefully a fix will be available soon.

 

What I don't understand is why, when fixes etc are committed by 3rd part devs, are we still made to wait for them by ED. Why can't the ED Updater be more active in getting updates to us .. particularly if it's content specifically module related and not core-DCS. Clearly such delays aren't for quality control. For example, the issue with the DMT on the AV-8B. Broken in 2.5.1. Fix identified by dev. Great - release it! But no, we must wait for ED.

2 steps 3 steps back .... TV is critical for TOW missiles. is it totally broken the TV or is there a work around it?

Unfortunately we were not given an access to the 2.5.1. preior to the patch of the open beta, which means our working files were delivered for upload and nobody, not us or ED was forseeing that there would be an issue with the rendering of the TV.

In addition, please note that it is released in open beta and not on the stable 2.5.1 version that should follow at some point, which gives all teams to solve the issues and integrate them into the stable 2.5.1

Also ,after the big update that we got for gazelle,to Auto Hover is almost impossible...is that a bug too?

... Auto Hover is almost impossible...is that a bug too?

Haven't seen any issues with auto hover myself - first thing I did was take the Minigun version out and put it in Auto Hover before switching to the Minigun to shoot stuff up.

 

Might be best to start a new thread and post a track, if you're having issues with 2.5.1's auto hover.

 

I assume you used the ADI 'DOP' mode to confirm near zero lateral drift and the VVI to confirm a stable hover before engaging 'Auto Hover'.

Today's update does not seem to fix the Gazelle TV. I was hoping, as they mentioned that it fixes A-10 TV.

There's a thread concerning that problem....

The viviane black screen has been fixed. It will be available soon.

Great news Pat! :thumbup:

Well, I have a fix (from ED) for those who can't wait for the next update.

 

open "DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\SA342\Cockpit\TV\Indicator\init.lua"

Uncomment the line #46 "--used_render_mask = "interleave.bmp" --default mask for TV" removing the first 2 minus signs.

You should get "used_render_mask = "interleave.bmp" --default mask for TV"

 

Save the file, that's all.

 

You'll have to re-comment this line when ED will release the update.

You are the Star Sir! S!
