MrAMRAAM Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 Normal Startup for DCS F-16C. Everything works as usual (except for what is already bugged), unable to cage Artificial Horizon. F-16 Driver Wannabe [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
pj Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 I had the same problem - turn the cage knob Win 10, Gigabyte Aorus Ultra with i5 9600KF @ 4.6GHz, 32G DDR4 3200 RAM, GTX 1070, TrackIR 5, TM Warthog stick on VPC Warbird base, Warthog Throttle for jets & helis, CH Throttle Quadrant for props, CH Pro Pedals, 500GB SSDs for installed sims :gun_smilie:
Frederf Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 The cold F-16 SAI starts caged. You have to interact with the cage-adjustment knob using either left or right click or mouse wheel to allow the knob to release from the pulled out position to the normal operating position which has the knob not pulled out. The knob is a slightly complex physical mechanism.
SonofEil Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 They definitely changed something. In the previous version it was a simple click and drag to uncage the standby AI, now it takes a couple clicks/drags/wiggles to get it to uncage during startup procedure. i7 7700K @5.0, 1080Ti, 32GB DDR4, HMD Odyssey, TM WH, Crosswind Rudder...
pj Posted February 16, 2020 Posted February 16, 2020 right - what I meant was I have to use the mouse wheel to turn the knob to uncage, before left-clicking would uncage then the wheel would adjust the horizon line Win 10, Gigabyte Aorus Ultra with i5 9600KF @ 4.6GHz, 32G DDR4 3200 RAM, GTX 1070, TrackIR 5, TM Warthog stick on VPC Warbird base, Warthog Throttle for jets & helis, CH Throttle Quadrant for props, CH Pro Pedals, 500GB SSDs for installed sims :gun_smilie:
mkiii Posted April 13, 2020 Posted April 13, 2020 Uncaging works for me, but I had to read the "tooltip" to find out how. However, the title of the thread is Unable to CAGE not UNCage. I cannot Cage it again once it is uncaged either - not that it is stopping me flying, but it is not working as it should.
Frederf Posted April 14, 2020 Posted April 14, 2020 You have to juggle it physically. Rotate the knob to the middle of its scale, then pull, and while pulling rotate it to an extreme position. You can think of the knob having two rotation ranges, sunken in in the uncaged state and pulled out in the caged state. Moving between the two rotational ranges is only possible through a "tunnel" near the middle of the rotational ranges.
