[OLD BUG REPORTS] Cleaning and Organization of old posts

[Kriko]

Well, small update : The problem still exists today ! I start a quick mission with the plane on parking position. On different occasions (2 out of 3 / Cau, Nevada and middle east), the GC just doesn't respond. I get a response from the tower, get my clearances for engine startup, taxi to rw, but the GC is non-existing. Tried to change the radio frequencies, doesn't help... Kinda lost :-/

hi in the last beta release is impossible to select 530D or magic on pca.

no lights come on in pca

[myHelljumper]

For me it works, the light is there but it's very dim.

[Conroy]

Rise the "Indicator Light" control.

Same here, lights are very dim on the PCA indeed since last update.

[QuiGon]

Same problem on the Tomcat. ED has changed something in the lighting in the DCS engine in the 2.5.5 update that is causing this for the Tomcat and the Mirage and maybe other aircraft as well.

[viper2097]

Just need to say that the Mirage cockpit looks now awesome with the new lights.

I like that look...

If you can't see them, just rise them as Conroy said.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but it's been frustrating me greatly.

 

In Instant Action and user created missions, I am unable to get my AI wingman/flight to attack "My Target (F1)" or "My Enemy (F2)" from the comms menu when I lock a target. I am able to select those two options in the menu and I hear my pilot speak, but my wingman never responds or acts on my command. However, if I tell him to "Attack Bandits" he will just respond by entering the Mirage equivalent of FLOOD Mode and engage--at least I assume that's what he's doing. I immediately start getting RWR warnings and missile launch warnings, before seeing his missile harmlessly fly by towards the enemy, which never actually hits anyone, obviously.

 

My wingman does respond to other commands like "Go Pincer" and I can communicate with AWACS/ATC as well. I also do not have this problem with any of the FC3 aircraft. I haven't tried it with any other full fidelity module because the Mirage is my first one.

 

I have turned off Easy Comms, and I am set to the right frequencies. I am using the HOTAS control for V/UHF and UHF.

[Steph21]

Try F3 (engage bandits) and then F1 or F2

On page 287 of the english manual, step 6 of the takeoff checklist says "Thottle" instead of "throttle".

[Tyrant07]

When selecting special mode fwd or aft with the radar on, I get a CTD every time. Tried in both air start and cold start. Same result.

 

*edit. Uninstalling/reinstalling seems to have fixed this. Not sure why thats a thing, but it is.

Currently, I'm unable to add any keyboard commands to all those that are currently blank/nothing assigned, such as the entire Kneeboard section for example. Is there a setting I've got wrong or something?

 

Edit - found the hotfix default.lua file at the front of the forum.

Hello

 

I have a strange behavior: "gun arm toggle" (Throttle Hotas button) doesnt affect the button in the cockpit, I need to affect another hotas button to "gun armed/else safe" and activates it to have the "gun arm toggle" effective

 

For PCN shortcuts: prep, dest, enter, num key, all work, except the VAL. I can affect key but it is not operative in the cockpit

If you already select Magic or gun, you need to affect a hotas button to "PCA SELECT", press it, and then you can select the S530 PCA button

[Finbarr996]

Not a big issue, but thought you'd like to know:

Have mapped HUD brightness up and down to HOTAS buttons, but these have no effect.

Oddly, scrolling the HUD brightness wheel in the cockpit works fine.

 

Also - when will the covered switch bug (switches can be moved without opening the cover first) be fixed? I almost jettisoned my 530's as that switch can be accidentally selected despite the cover still being closed. Not urgent, but annoying.

 

Cheers,

Finbarr.

I have the same, haven't re-installed it yet though

 

 

edit: re-installed the module but still ctd when selecting special fwd, with EL1 selected on PCA, to get into AG mode

I tried on my side, but I can't replicate.

Hi together,

 

for instance, if I want to attack ground targets, I select bombs on my PCA but nothing changes in the HUD. I get no information where they are going to fall in CCIP.. it just stays at normal mode.

 

The same with rockets. After clicking around on the PCA I cannot select anything anymore.

 

Also the cannons only work, after trying to select/deselect them.

 

The update did destroy a lot for me in the mirage :(

 

Greetings,

park

It’s just a new procedure, once used to it, you will like it :smilewink:

Thanks jojo for your quick reply. That actually works! Still having a hard time not seeing that cross on the HUD on AG, but thats propably me being always too low, steep etc.. still new on this :lol:

 

But I cannot seleect magics anymore? The "S" does not appear.

And when I want to change to GunsMode it keeps blinking down left. When I change multiple times GunMode/MasterArm from ON to OFF on ON again, it stops blinking and they work...

 

Just got into this module and learned everything and now I feel like Im at the beginning again.. :noexpression:

[urpark]

And I noticed something else. Always had problems in the Mirage with the Zoom button of the VKB gunfighter not zooming in. It works with other modules flawless.

I changed it doing special modes FWD/AFT, but doesnt work as well. Didnt noticed until now, because I didn't needed them much so far.

 

Its weird, the button itself works, I can bind it in the settings, just ingame its not working.

You don't select Magic on PCA but through HOTAS command.

Plus DCS World change made the PCA buttons light very weak.

 

For HOTAS command see here:

It barely changed after update, I just added "PCA select".

When TWS or STT locking a target at range, the box is offset so that the target is at the bottom edge of the top 1/3rd of the box. See attached screenshot. (may need to zoom in)

Most of the guarded switches can be activated without opening their guard, though they will not function properly. The ones that do appear to require the guard to open first have an issue with the animations not being timed correctly, and the switch noticeably clips through the guard when closing.

 

ALL GUARDED SWITCHES APPEAR TO BE AFFECTED.
