Gauge lights

[Kamov52]

After the update to 2.5.3.23788 Open Beta ,

what is it?:(

[Hiromachi]

Hello, can you specify conditions ? Did you just download patch ? Do you use any mods ? Was it with additional lights on or off ? Also, please be so kind to provide all logs.

 

I've tried to replicate it, so I just downloaded open beta and on my side everything works correct as you can see in attachments.

 

Edit, confirmed, whenever sun is not casting any light on gauges, they turn black.

I've already informed Rudel, he is on it.

Yeah, you need to fly some hevy maneuvres, then the scales appear. Another

strange thing.

Using no mods

[Esac_mirmidon]

I have this also, it seems related to the relative position of the cockpit with the sun and the shadows.

[Kamov52]

No mods. No global lights.The picture is freeflight - QM.

Here a picture of QM cold start:

Yes, Rudel is checking gauges dds and rough met right now. If I'll know more I will post it.

+1

No mods and all the gauges are black except for the needles.

[Esac_mirmidon]

Thanks Hiromachi, keep us informed.

[Hiromachi]

Guys, Rudel and I tried it and seems we might have solved our issues. Just for the sake of being sure, can you also try the file in the attachment ?

Unpack it and put it in following directory:

DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\MIG-21bis\Textures\MiG-21_Cockpit

 

You should have this file there already, so just replace it with downloaded attachement. Also, in the same directory please delete file named: MiG21Bis_CP_Gauges_RoughMet.bmp

Report back results please.

MiG21Bis_CP_Gauges_RoughMet.rar

[Esac_mirmidon]

Testing

[Hiromachi]

Yes, too much playing with files. There should be Gauges and Gauges_RoughMet. Rudel changed bmp to dds, so unpack what I've uploaded and delete bmp one.

[Esac_mirmidon]

Fixed!!!

 

The new file is working good....

 

Thanks Hiromachi

[davewhite]

Thanks Hiromachi & Rudel, this did the trick!

[Hiromachi]

Ok, awesome, submittting to ED right now.

[Lixma 06]

Works great, thanks Rudel & Hiro.

I dont get good results with the downloaded file...I have put in the required folder and deleted the bmp file. In the sim it still does not show up quite right...I have default cockpit option in specials tab selected and all mods disabled. Could someone post a screenshot how it looks with the file?

[-Rudel-]

Look for MiG21Bis_CP_Gauges.bmp and delete that one too.

 

There should be a MiG21Bis_CP_Gauges.DDS in its place

The first screenshot is how the folder looks after a fresh repair (I deleted the whole folder and ran repair)...you can see that there is already a MiG21Bis_CP_Gauges.dds and MiG21Bis_CP_Gauges_RoughMet.bmp file. The second screenshot is after I have deleted the bmp file and inserted the downloaded dds file. The results are as in the previous post

[-Rudel-]

Nothing is wrong then...

 

Friday's update will remove the dark shadows over the numbers.

[Kamov52]

Thank you. It work's!:thumbup:

[Rainbowgeorge]

Working good, but now i dont pass the integrety check anymore.

[Esac_mirmidon]

Wiat until Friday for the official fix.

[leonardo_c]

The fix is Open Beta only? I had some issue recently with the gauges at night, could only see the needles.

I'm not using Open Beta, I use the release version.

[leonardo_c]

This is what I have, already ran repair, tried also to delete the folder and the repair but nothing has worked so far, I cannot see any instrument at night, only flood light works.

Same here, and is a different issue than the #9 post fix.

 

That fix is not resolving the missing lights in the front cockpit.

 

Hiromachi if you are so kind to take a look please.

 

PD: Open beta lights working good.
