Strke Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 (edited) I have noticed on two different occasions now that when sustaining a significant amount of damage, all systems power off (including engines) intermittently with about 1 second intervals. This also causes the gunsight to deactivate, and moves the head left and right continuously. I'm an aircraft mechanic IRL, so I suspect there is something wrong in the damage logic causing this behavior. As friendly advice I consider looking into the following: Gunsight logic: Make it so the switch position moves the head, not the actual gunsight power state. This way, you will still observe through the gunsight, even if power is lost. Damage model logic: Something is causing intermittent electrical power and engine power shortages. I have attached a short track where this phenomenon occurs just after being hit by my own bomb blast a minute into the track. Mosquito intermittent power.trk Edited September 21, 2021 by Strke Added track file Currently flying: A-10C | P-51D | F-86 | F-5E | F-14A/B | F-16C | F/A-18C |MiG-21Bis | Bf-109K DCS-Flyable Wishlist Top-10: F-16 MLU | F-104 | MiG-23 | AH-64 | A-6 | B-17G | F-4 | OV-10 | Lynx | NH-90 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peachmonkey Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 (edited) Per the manual the electrical generator is located on the right (starboard) engine. Maybe what you're experiencing is caused by its damage? Edited September 21, 2021 by peachmonkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strke Posted September 21, 2021 Author Share Posted September 21, 2021 could be, but would that cause both engines to synchronously switch on/off too? This is what I am experiencing at least...

peachmonkey Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 I think with DM being a WIP and stressed so by ED these are the kinds of gremlins they'll need to focus on .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's quite a bit of that going around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TacticalOni Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 had this happen too after taking a fair bit of ground fire. cockpit lights blinking on and off, guns only firing in short bursts, gas needles doing laps around their arc of movement, couldn't drop the bombs I had on my wings... I suspect that it was a hit to the generator(s) but it was on MP and I couldn't verify what did the damage, or what got busted.
