[PLANNED]Animated radar range increase/decrease switch bugged.


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi,

 

 

there is a bug in the animated toggle switch for radar range increase / decrease on the radar control panel.

 

If you use the actual switch in the cockpit on the radar panel via mouse click , it does not increase Range above the 80NM setting and if you have a higher range already selected and click the "range increase" switch , the range faultily jumps back to 80NM immediately.

 

But if you assign keybinds or hotas to the radar range increase/decrease functions, the system works normally as it should, when you press the keys or HOTAS buttons, all the way up and down.

 

So the actual switch in the cockpit or the logic behind is bugged.

 

Regards,

Hi Snappy, if you can confirm this still present in the latest update from 23/09/2020. If so, please attach a new .trk file

Know and use all the capabilities in your airplane. If you don't, sooner or later, some guy who does use them all will kick your ass.

Hi Elmo,

 

sorry for my late reply.

yes the bug is still there in the latest version. I attached a track now to this message, with the Radar screen enlarged export for better view.

First I demonstrated that you cant increase range settings over 80NM with the toggle switch in the cockpit, then I manually accessed the higher ranges via TDC slewing.

After slewing to 320NM range I clicked the "increase" range toggle switch in the cockpit again and the range jumps down to 80NM.

 

Hope this helps,

 

Kind regards,

Hi snappy, I did m,ake the report and i know some fixes accidentally made their way into recent mini patches, could you check on this again and see if it still present and provide an updated trk if so?

Hi Elmo,

 

just checked again, the bug is still present in the current DCS open beta version 2.5.6.55960

Attached a new track file showing it.

 

Method was the same. Click on radar range increase toggle switch position which only has effect until radar range is 80NM . Then using TDC slewing to increase range through 160NM and then 320NM.

Then pressing the "increase radar range toggle switch " again the range jumps immediately down to 80NM again.

 

Just to re-iterate , the bug seems to be related to the actual clickable toggle switch on the Mirages radar control panel.

If you assign keybinds to radar range incr/decr, those seem work normally up and down to the range limits.

 

Kind regards,

so now its not a bug with the mirage, the range works its just the buttons in the pit do not perform their funtion?

No you misunderstood me Elmo, or I formulated badly.

Its a bug in the Mirage, definitely.I just meant the bug appears when you use the mouse to click on the actual radar range increase/decrease switch in the Mirages cockpit(the virtual one, in the simulation). I have no pit.

 

(If you , instead of clicking the switch with the mouse, assign the range increase/decrease function to joystick or hotas buttons , that seems to work).
