Map view only, no cockpit view

[hrnet940]

Hi Everyone,

 

 

I updated to the new version 2.5.6 yesterday and have issues. When I try to fly a training mission or other flights, it is stuck on map view and I can't get it in to cockpit view. F1 key doesn't work, it works when I go in to controller and hit the F1 key. If I hit F2, F3 or F4 they do work, but my controllers do not do anything. I have tried it with the F/A-18C, F-16C, Spitfire MkIXc and all are the same, or it just crashes on me. The attached picture is what I see when bringing up a Taxi and Take Off Training mission in the F/A-18C Hornet.

 

 

I hope the attachment works.

 

 

Thanks,

Wayne Wilson

I have a similar issue when creating a quick mission, to get around it I launch to fly from mission editor.

I experienced this as well with one of those instant action generated flights.

Thanks. I have run the repair twice and this is what happened after those.

I get this problem too. It almost always gets stuck on the map screen when choosing create fast mission.

It also often freezes when trying to quit back to the main menu.

 

Tried repairing DCS. Tried deleting shaders (for whatever good that would do) But it didn't have any effect.

Good to know it's not only me...for the time being until it's fixed, I choose to launch from ME.

I should add that if I go into fast mission, generate and then edit the mission. Moving the plane back to the ramp and then proceeding into the game seems to work for me.

Having the same issues with F14 single player missions and campaign

I fixed it myself. I removed all of my Mods with OvGME than Repair DCS OpenBeta and it worked. Back to normal. I am NOT using OvGME until I get it figured out what folder to select for the first selection. Along with figuring out the proper sequence to use before or after an update. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

 

 

Thanks Again,

I wonder if this might have something to do with how they changed how the airport database and related scripting methods work. As in, the quickgen uses old methods or IDs to assign spawn points, but those no longer point to anything useful and you end up with a flight set up to start from the illustrious airfield [random bit of forest], which fails the spawn for obvious reasons…

I had a similar but different issue.

I created a ME mission to practice T/O and landings with my new Su-33

on both runway and carrier. I added, just for scenery, a couple of helos to

take off from the carrier. When I set the jet on the CV for player, I got stuck in map view.

When I set player for runway, it worked fine. Went back to CV and back to map view.

I then deleted the helos and voila`no problem from either CV or AF.

Go figure.

That one should be because you're stuck in the spawning queue until the helos have completed their takeoff and cleared the area. I said “should” because the spawning queue has always been… temperamental, let's call it. :D
