Donut Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 When doing a cold start, we have to set the Gun Rounds Counter. The Tomcat hold 676 rounds but I cannot set it to that, only 670 or 680 as the third digit is not changeable. Is this how it really is? On a hot start, the counter will read 676 so there must be a way to set it exactly. i5 7600K @4.8GHz | 1080 Ti | 32GB 3200MHz | SSD | DCS SETTINGS | "COCKPIT" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shimmergloom667 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 At 6.000 rpm, having a delta of 6 or 4 rounds not displayed is essentially worthless, though, to be honest. :D Out of curiosity I am wondering about that too, though. i7 - 9700K | 32 GB DDR4 3200 | RTX 2080 | VKB Gunfighter Mk II /w MCG Pro | Virpil T-50CM2 Throttle | TrackIR 5 | VKB Mk.

QuiGon Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 While a difference of 6 or 4 rounds on the counter does indeed not really matte, I wonder how the counter can be accurate during hot starts? :huh: Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

Eldur Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I just set it to 650 since I usually have it set to 50 rounds cut burst in the ME at the moment which is pretty decent for a strafing run as that burst usually gets me a kill... if it shows empty, I still have a few rounds left for one last lucky shot.

gyrovague Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Ah, the last digit being there on hot start is a slight bug, will fix. We used to have it showing all 3 digits, then SME feedback was that the last digit was fixed 0 and the counter could only be adjusted in tens. We changed it thusly, but evidently forgot the hot start setting. ____________ Heatblur Simulations [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gyrovague Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Actually... > On a hot start, the counter will read 676 so there must be a way to set it exactly. I can't reproduce this, it shows 670 for me... plus the 3rd digit anim arg isn't even in the code anymore.... So I'm not sure now what to do about this? ____________ Heatblur Simulations [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gyrovague Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 OK. I can't reproduce locally, and that code hasn't been changed since well before initial release. ____________ Heatblur Simulations [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shimmergloom667 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I don't find any case of 676 rounds anymore, either, so I guess all is fine! :) i7 - 9700K | 32 GB DDR4 3200 | RTX 2080 | VKB Gunfighter Mk II /w MCG Pro | Virpil T-50CM2 Throttle | TrackIR 5 | VKB Mk.

Donut Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 Okay, thank for clearing that up...the 676 was a mistake as the third digit always stays on 0. FYI...the M61 section of the manual still has a screenshot showing 676. Also, the manual says that the indicator counts down from 650...what does that mean? i5 7600K @4.8GHz | 1080 Ti | 32GB 3200MHz | SSD | DCS SETTINGS | "COCKPIT" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
