Manuel_108 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Haven't flown the Hornet for months but just noticed in the new F-16 video the HMCS is blanking correctly in the cockpit whereas the JHMCS in the Hornet doesn't blank when looking straight ahead and slightly down. This bug has been in since last summer so I want to ask, seeing that the F-16 doesn't do this, has this been fixed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord of War Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 i dont know if it is correct but it feels a lot better now, a lot less weird behaviour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrei Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I think it has been fixed. It's when you are looking slightly below HUD level, but already in cockpit, the HMD symbology used to show. It does not anymore.

madeiner Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 For me, nothing is fixed. If you look midway between hud and HMS, you see double the symbology and is very confusing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fri13 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 The most annoying thing that really is with that HMS is that it goes blank when you look anywhere else outside the HUD. Like you can't aim a target if it is just edge of the HUD or just outside of the HUD. That is why you have the RECCE button so you can turn it On/Off when needed. The similar huge blind spot area seemed to be in the F-16C now as well. i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.

The similar huge blind spot area seemed to be in the F-16C now as well. The F-16 should allow you to use radar boresight mode and allow aiming with the HMD, while only showing the cross moving on the HUD. but in wags video it did not do so. Also there should be an option in the DED subpage for the HMD to turn off and on blanking when looking at the hud and/or pit. so hopefully that allows locking things up with the hmd in the viper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manuel_108 Posted October 3, 2019 Author Share Posted October 3, 2019 (edited) Alright, thanks for the feedback guys! Does this issue persist if you turn off the blink function? I fly with the JHMCS always on, blink unboxed and I haven't seen this issue I think the bug specifically affects the blank option.

wilbur81 Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 I think I'm in the right thread here... Just playing a bit with the Viper today and the HMD and noticing that, when I look at the HUD, ALL HMD symbology disappears and it looks great and feels natural. However, in the Hornet, when I look at the HUD while using the HMD, it still shows some HMD symbology (that never goes away) and sometimes there's the double-vision of HMD symbology overlaid against HUD symbology. Is this a DCS Hornet bug or in the real Hornet, does some of the HMD sym. stick around even when looking through the HUD? ** I'll post a screenshot later. ** i7 8700K @ Stock - Win10 64 - 32 RAM - RTX 3080 12gb OC - 55 inch 4k Display Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilbur81 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) Maddening indeed. I can't use the HMD in a dogfight once the bandit is off my nose/within the HUD field of view for a guns kill.

Kempleja Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 You can turn the HMD blanking over HUD on an off on HMD DDI page. I think that the "recce event" button on stick also blanks HMD, no matter where you are looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that the "recce event" button on stick also blanks HMD, no matter where you are looking. That's the problem: With blanking 'on', there are still double images. Note in Dorian's picture above, the data that he's seeing double of is minimal...pretty sure blanking is 'on' for him, but you still get the double TDC. In his picture, the HMD altitude/airspeed, etc. have blanked out because he's looking at the HUD, but he still sees the TDC.
