General and training mission issues (& some fix suggestions)

[v81]

Seems i'm here every so often reporting issues with the SU-25T

 

It would be in ED's interests to have this working as for many it is the first aircraft they will test and try before deciding for commit more time and money to the sim.

 

Here we go...

 

1) Lights from outside the cockpit seem to leak through panels sometimes.

eg: turning nav lights on when dark illuminates the pit.

 

2) Cockpit lights too dim

 

3) Excessive cockpit rattle at taxi speed.

 

4) Training mission "Landing - Hard" no runway lights, impossible contrast / gamma

Interesting to note that if the aircraft is touching the ground runway lights can be seen

Affects all caucuses runways I've seen, but a bad intro for a newbie to have it in a training mission.

 

5) Excessively long dialogues in some training missions

The detail is appreciated, but when you stuff up and attempt a training mission for the 5th time waiting through unskippable dialogues is a hassle.

- Fix = Make them skippable

 

6) Cannon mission...

a) Gates don't line up properly with target as well as they used to, leaves you having to make insane last minute corrections.

- Fix = correct route, possibly set gate height as AGL instead of MSL

 

b) Flares are dropped way too late

- Fix = Trigger Flare dropper earlier, i did this by moving trigger zone to closer to player WP 3.

 

c) Flares dropped in wrong location

- Fix = move weapon release to correct location

 

d) Flares dropped too high

- Fix = reduce alt of flare dropper by 500ft or so.

 

7) Shkval mission - unable to lock targets, worked on previous versions (many threads on this issue)

- Fix = Preferred - work on locking code, work around, set time closer to midday.

 

8) ECM training - Voice says lights should appear for ECM and IR strobe, but this does not happen, may be a case of active pause stopping the lights from appearing.

 

 

Please consider getting these issues sorted ED.

It will improve quality of product, quality of life and new user experience.
