Phaser Posted July 8, 2019 Posted July 8, 2019 Hey All, I'm not quite convinced this is a Harrier bug as it very well could be something on my side. As the title states, I am running into an issue with the master mode selection essentially 'deselecting' mid flight, seemingly at random. When this happens, I usually also get 4 slashed lines across the HUD as if I'd pickled. This usually causes the TPOD and DMT to completely bug out and reset the commanded LOS. This happens in all modes; NAV, VSTOL, and AG. It happens in nearly all regimes of flight from takeoff to weapons employment and landing. When this happens, all of the master mode buttons are also not lit. Now, I can usually work around it by re-selecting a master mode. Sometimes I need to also reselect weapons in the STRS page. Sometimes it won't happen for another few minutes and sometimes it happens immediately after selecting a mode. I cannot seem to track a pattern. I have tried deleting my AV-8B keybind file and re-binding. I have tried repairing DCS several times. I have deleted the metashaders and fxo folders just for kicks. This is all on latest open beta - no mods. I unfortunately do not have a good track at this time but I can certainly get on if it would help. Any advice ya'll could give would very greatly appreciated. Thanks! Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
Ramsay Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 When this happens, all of the master mode buttons are also not lit. Sounds like you might be accidentally hitting the Air to Air Weapon Select Switch My keybinds are: C - A/A Cannon D - A/A Sidewinder Boresight LShift+D - A/A Sidewinder SEAM but forget if they're the defaults. i9 9900K @4.8GHz, 64GB DDR4, RTX4070 12GB, 1+2TB NVMe, 6+4TB HD, 4+1TB SSD, Winwing Orion 2 F-15EX Throttle + F-16EX Stick, TPR Pedals, TIR5, Win 11 Pro x64, Odyssey G93SC 5120X1440

However, I have these bound to a hat on my HOTAS that is pretty hard to bump on accident. It's the hat marked DC. I could try unbinding these in case some ghost inputs are happening.

Phaser Posted July 9, 2019 Author Posted July 9, 2019 Well that ended up being the issue. My joystick is ghost inputting the down press on the hat which was bound to AA gun select. Now time to find out why my $400 joystick is busted. Thanks for the help! Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

When I set that to the black box the stick LED flashes red at me. I'll try just leaving the default config and see if it works any better. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
WindyTX Posted July 10, 2019 Posted July 10, 2019 I had exactly the same problem only with the AV8 and I also had an MCG-Pro. Similarly I was getting ghost inputs but only on the Harrier I had to move the A2A gun input. Weird that it was only on the Harrier.

That's what I'm getting on my MCG-Pro too. Mine is bound to the comm/radio menu which randomly pops open. I thought it might be a hardware issue but couldn't get it to reliably repeat. I'm going to have to look into this some more. Please keep me (us) posted if you get any further info. Thx!

Do you have a Gunfighter Mk 1 or Mk 2? My running theory is that the 3 pin connector at the base of my Mk 1 is dodgy. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
