GrislyAccord Posted April 6, 2020 Posted April 6, 2020 Two Yak bugs I've encountered in latest version of Open Beta: 1. Can't access the comms menu. 2. Smoke gets stuck on.

GrislyAccord Posted April 6, 2020 Author Posted April 6, 2020 Hi 1. are you using easy comms? 2. can you attach a short track showing this thank you Hi, Yes, just using easy comms. I can't bring up the menu at all to interact with ATC, Ground Crew, etc. The default " \ " key doesn't work and I've tried mapping it to other keys, as well as HOTAS. All of the other aircraft (at least the ones I own) seem to be fine. And the smoke getting stuck in the on position is the same. Tried mapping different HOTAS buttons and keyboard commands, but nothing works once it's stuck. (The first time, I thought maybe it wasn't the smoke system at all, but that I'd inadvertently fried my engine...so I landed, thinking I could check to see if the ground crew could repair the problem...but couldn't bring up the comms to do so, lol.) I'll make a track as soon as I have a chance. (Probably later this afternoon.)
GrislyAccord Posted April 6, 2020 Author Posted April 6, 2020 (edited) Hi @BIGNEWY Here's a track (if I've attached it correctly). I just created a quick mission and tried to access comms both before and after start, and while in the air. In the middle of it, I bound the commands for smoke and comms to different buttons, but I don't know if you'll be able to see that in the track. (I have no idea how much information is saved, lol.) The smoke button gets stuck right away in this clip, but at other times, I can toggle it on and off for a while before the button gets stuck. Throughout the track, I am trying both HOTAS bindings and keyboard commands to try to turn it off. (Edit: I mentioned the smoke thing the other day (saturday?) on the Aerobatics Online server when I discovered it, and someone else said the same thing had happened to them...)Yak-52 Broken Comms & Smoke.trk Edited April 6, 2020 by GrislyAccord
GrislyAccord Posted April 6, 2020 Author Posted April 6, 2020 Let me know if you need anything else or want me to do something differently in the track.
Cgjunk2 Posted April 7, 2020 Posted April 7, 2020 I seem to recall figuring out by accident how to turn smoke off. The T key would turn it on, but not off. Then by chance I hit left control+T and it shut off. Not sure if that is how it’s supposed to work by default though.

Then by chance I hit left control+T and it shut off. Not sure if that is how it’s supposed to work by default though. Okay. I see. Just tested this. So the key mappings for "Smoke Apparatus OFF" and "Smoke Apparatus ON" do work to turn smoke on and off. It's just the "Smoke Apparatus, toggle" command that's stuck. Turns it on, as @cgjunk2 says, but doesn't turn it back off. Hitting the "Smoke Apparatus OFF" key mapping, however, does indeed turn it off again. Thanks for the headsup, @cgjunk2 . Since I relied on the toggle, I forgot those other options even existed. So shorter version: Toggle no longer toggles. Edited April 7, 2020 by GrislyAccord
