cannot reproduce Observe switch not bindable after latest update.

[monkie]

Since the last update today I can't bind any of my joystick keys to "observe on/off" it only can be bound to the pre-update "observe" which now acts as "observe on". 

 

Any idea how to get this working again?

[monkie]

I deleted my warthog profiles for the MI-24 under the saved games directory but still the only bindable key is the "observe" button which is only acting as an on and not an off button.

Can confirm that. Had the same problem yesterday after the patch.

I suppose this is all on the dev's end and will have to be fixed in the upcoming updates?

Same problem here. Can open the doors but can't close them.

[monkie]

It's a major annoyance because from the gunner's position it's critical to get those doors closed immediately after the attack run finishes to avoid damage to the sight, and I hate having to reach up to the keyboard to do it right now

Nice to read that i have not to delete all my settings ... same problem here,.

Changelog has this :

 

 

• Separate commands for OBSERVE ON and OFF added

 

You will need a separate bind for Observe off.

 

Not sure why this was added.  Prefer it as a toggle.

I believe that it was meant to be added as requested by some users that wanted to use actual toggle switches which is fine however it not only dosen't work for them now it also broke it for the rest of us      I'm sure it will be sorted, hopefully in the next update, just glad it wasn't just my install or keybinds.

Can confirm can only bind to hotas the regular "observe" option, but cannot bind the "observe off" and "observe on/off" to hotas, the only way to use these now is to press the keyboard bindings for them

[Eisprinzessin]

I mean its cool they added this stuff, but i prefer it as a toggle as well and can not understand why this option should be kicked out.

 

BTW:

Is it necessary that i as a pilot in singleplayer "close" observe after Petrovich shot an shturm and i turn away from the target in a harsh way or does he close it (Gyro problem)?

[monkie]

They didn't remove the option for it to be a an ON/OFF switch, they just tried to add ON and OFF switches but in the process it broke the original binding.

 

From what I understand if you are the Pilot the short aft AI command tells Petro to close the doors and stop looking for targets to avoid damaging the gyros from a harsh turn.

This is working as expected internally, so possible it is already fixed. I will leave this open and we will see in coming patches if it is ok for everyone. Thanks.
