Eldur Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 One thing that I noticed is that everytime I turn the HMD off (when not needed) and on again, I'll get a ADV-BIT advisory. The same happens with the ALR-67, but that's not something you'd switch off while airborne. Naturally I'd expect the systems to remember BITs have been done during a "session". Since we're in early access, I don't post this as a bug since I don't know how the real Hornet reacts. Would still be great to know if that's correct or not (in that case -> bug report).

Wizard_03 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 (edited) Leave the HMD switch on the whole flight, you can turn the display off with the Recce Event mark switch in HOTAS controls. The Hornet continually runs bits on systems without pilot initiation. Theses are called periodic bits or PBITs. So the advisory is telling you the bit failed cause the system is no longer powered Edited November 13, 2018 by Wizard_03 DCS F/A-18C :sorcerer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldur Posted November 13, 2018 Author Share Posted November 13, 2018 Such details are always great to know, thanks I wonder though if those PBITs would blank out the ADV-BIT advisory after a successful run. Never tried that out, usually I just open up the BIT page and press the STOP OSB there to get rid of it. At least now I know the BITs will be ran in background.
