vCSG3 Bloat 203 Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 Apologies if this is an incorrect area to post this, but I am not able to post in DCS 2.5 Bugs section. I noticed that selecting an object or plane on the F10 map is no longer persistent. In pre-August 2020 versions, you could select a plane or a vehicle (e.g. to then hop into an F2/F7 view quickly) or to read its coordinates card on the bottom left. If you then returned to F1, and then back to F10, the map would keep your previous selection. This meant you could quickly hop onto your wingman's F2 view by pressing F10-F2 in quick succession, for example. You could also peek GPS coordinates of your target while inputting them to a waypoint in your cockpit. post August-2020, the behaviour is that the F10 map re-sets to nothing selected every time you open it. Reproduction steps: Open F10 map select an object hit F1 open F10 again to see the selection is no longer applied :pilotfly: BrotherBloat
marcwoolery Posted September 27, 2020 Posted September 27, 2020 I like all of that ... Is it working in 1.5 ? Are you using GPS in the A10C or I assume interactive cockpits, or the new GPS NAV module ? ( just downloaded) Sounds a bit complex... please describe further how you use that .
webweaver40 Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 Yes, this newly-introduced behavior with f10 map is very bothersome Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk

Livers Posted September 29, 2020 Posted September 29, 2020 Agreed, very annoying. Another niggle is the external views, F2, F7 are always zoomed in to maximum. We used to zoom out on an aircraft (F2) as an example, and that view persisted to every subsequent F2 press.
Frederf Posted September 29, 2020 Posted September 29, 2020 F2 zoom is saved on a per-object basis. I miss the F10 view remembering the selected object when reentering the view.
Livers Posted September 30, 2020 Posted September 30, 2020 F2 zoom is saved on a per-object basis. As is F7. Isn't that a recent change?
Frederf Posted September 30, 2020 Posted September 30, 2020 Not super new, probably at least a year I don't remember.
Livers Posted October 1, 2020 Posted October 1, 2020 Thanks. This is what I get for running stable, I guess. The change seems recent.

Useful, thanks, should be part of DCS core.
