Richard Dastardly Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 I think its a DCS Bug we got after last update (f 16 launch) :( Pretty safe bet when the DCS log is showing WARNING F-14: F-14 Build vs DCS version mismatch! Built with: 2.5.5.36367, DCS is: 2.5.5.36986 Note - not saying that is causing a problem,just that DCS has changed something & not the Tomcat.

yngvef Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 Whether or not it's a DCS bug or a Tomcat bug doesn't really matter to me. The reason this bug report belongs here in the Heatblur sub-section is because it is Heatblur's module that is active when the problem occurs. No other plane makes the sim crash instantly when you activate auto-throttle. Heatblur and ED have to figure out what is causing it and fix it. I assume they have eachother's contact information.
yngvef Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 And yes, can verify that the bug persists after today's open beta patch. Immediate CTD upon activating the auto-throttle.
LASooner Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 If you hit the switch when the plane is outside the parameters it just resets like it always does, it's when the auto throttle actually engages that it CTD.

*Aquila* Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 The Hornet, no issue so far. AFAIK, the Hornet's auto throttle only keeps an air speed. Its AoA conservation is not yet functional in DCS. That's what CTDs with the F-14B.
LanceCriminal86 Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 Usually HB is pretty on top of a reported CTD like this, my guess is ED really changed something and it has borked more than just a quick code tweak can fix. I wonder if there's some autopilot logic added or modified by the Viper that shifted or entirely replaced a value or function the auto throttles relied on?

Mule Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 My guess is you should all just chill out. This will be taken care of. Fighter Pilot Podcast.
Viking_355th Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 Everybody here seems pretty chill already. Did I miss a panicky comment?
Tholozor Posted October 12, 2019 Author Posted October 12, 2019 (edited) My reaction when I thought I'd made a simple bug report.

yngvef Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 My guess is you should all just chill out. This will be taken care of. Well, considering this thread has so far received no attention from any Heatblur nor any ED people (that we've seen), we don't know if they are aware of this bug or not. If they'd acknowledge that they at least know about it, maybe listed it as a "known bug", then this thread wouldn't have to be bumped all the time. And I will shamelessly keep bumping it until it is seen, not because I am angry or "non-chill", but simply because I want to get it fixed so we can go back to using auto-throttle. But, I think most of us are fairly "chill". It's simply a bug report about a pretty serious bug that causes the game to crash completely. I mean, the sub-forum is called "Bugs and problems" after all. Early access is buggy, and we are all aware, but part of that process is giving feedback to the developers about discovered bugs. So, your comment that we should "chill" out doesn't really make much sense. Do you mean we should stop reporting discovered bugs? How will that help the devs? Or the module?
yngvef Posted October 12, 2019 Posted October 12, 2019 If you hit the switch when the plane is outside the parameters it just resets like it always does, it's when the auto throttle actually engages that it CTD. Are there any other planes with auto throttle systems? F-18's ATC and Viggen's AFK auto-throttles are both working. But as someone else said, the auto-throttle in the F-14 tries to maintain on-speed, so I suppose it works a bit differently, and that is where the bug comes from.
Mnemonic Posted October 14, 2019 Posted October 14, 2019 Can confirm. same here, immediate CTD on engaging autothrottle on F-14.

AvroLanc Posted October 15, 2019 Posted October 15, 2019 Like, do you guys think afer FIVE pages of +1 and confirmed that it does need more of that? There’s still no response from HB at all. The more +1’s the better until it’s addressed.
Shimmergloom667 Posted October 15, 2019 Posted October 15, 2019 Because more +1s make them respond faster?

AvroLanc Posted October 15, 2019 Posted October 15, 2019 Because more +1s make them respond faster? Okay! No, but a thread labeled 'CTD' with +5 pages of lots of people having the exact same issue might get attention and focus minds quicker.
yngvef Posted October 15, 2019 Posted October 15, 2019 No, but a thread labeled 'CTD' with +5 pages of lots of people having the exact same issue might get attention and focus minds quicker. Exactly. As there is still no word from Heatblur on this, we must keep the thread alive.
