[CANNOT REPRODUCE] HMCS as SOI bugged

[Captain Orso]

When everything is fresh and new, coolie-hat up makes HUD SOI and the SOI-indicating asterisk appears on the left side of the HUD. Coolie-hat down makes HMCS SOI and the SOI-indicating dot appears on the left side of the HMCS display area.

 

1. Make TGP SOI and then press coolie-hat down to make HMCS SOI. The SOI-indicating dot does not appear, but TGP is no longer SOI (frame around MPCD is gone and no where else is there a SOI indicator).

2. Coolie-hat up makes the HUD SOI agin, and the SOI-indicating asterisk appears.

3. Coolie-hat down and the asterisk disappears, but the dot does not appear on the HMCS. You can also not use TMS forward long to set SPI for the HMCD.

 

This is reproducable.

At the most decluttered level there is no * on the HMCS display even when it is SOI. In cases where there is no * on the helmet but you suspect it is SOI does it act as if it's selected?

[NineLine]

Team just checked and see no issue, as above described, did you have it decluttered? If this is not the case, we need a track to further investigate. Thanks

This was my first thought, too.

[Captain Orso]

Ummm... how do you declutter the HMCS? 

[SJBMX]

HMD as SOI, DMS Short Right. There's three profiles.

[Captain Orso]

Ahhh yes... I need to fix my HOTAS kneeboard chart; still too unclear.

 

Okay, Prof3 removes the SOI indicator dot, I saw that clearly. Why TMS Forward Long then at times doesn't set the SPI is still a mystery to me. I will have to keep my eye on it and see of I recognize something.

 

I do note that is some circumstances the HMCS overlay seems to slide out of position so that already set SPI's are WAY off target. On the TAD they are good, and in the TGP also IIRC, but in the HMCS way off. Maybe that's part of what I've seen, that the SPI is actually placed, but the HMCS doesn't show it where I expect it to, and I just didn't find the display, because it wasn't where it ought to be.
