reported Artificial Horizon Intermittent

[Lau]

While flying and enjoying the 4YA WW2 Normandy server and applying WW2 stealth techniques by hiding in the clouds, I remembered that this simple yet essential instrument has not yet being fixed by ED since 2019, nor anyone from the team acknowledged this problem for the last 5 months.

 

Thank you for your passion and support,

 

Please fix this.

Unfortunately this type of support from ED is almost to be expected.  I do not understand this behavior.  Gosh put it on the 3rd parties as this gyro problem 

was originally coded by ?? and therefore is not ED's responsibility.....Why won't ED fix these errors/bugs after numerous reporting's and years and years

of ignoring said issues?  I guess it is ED's standard operating procedures that they have found that works well in their business model.  It sure isn't in the 

best interest of their customer base.  Say hello to risk management.

Is this for serious still broke??

It's been like it since the beginning of warbirds in DCS (ie. 2012), so I wouldn't hold my breath for it to be fixed, unless one day ED does more of a general rework of AHs in all warbirds together.

The way to go Boys, let’s keep this issue in the mind of ED so we can expect a fix soon, this problem has been ongoing for far too long and reported too many times for ED to continue ignoring issues that are essential to the SIM. It was common practice for WW2 airframes to hide in the clouds, to do so you need a working attitude indicator, the same goes for night flying or bad weather all around. Simply put, it makes no sense what so ever to not have this gauge working in a flight simulator.

Thank you for your passion and support,

Please merge posts as required but please fix this.

Thanks

Probably ED don't see easy fix for this, probably there are plans to redone that but ED has a lot of stuff to do and they have small team. It may look like they lay around and do nothing but reality is that they have so much things to do that waiting time is very big.

Let’s just hope for a better future where ED will level their work to their advertisement. I rather believe that ED has no resources to allocate to war birds than even consider that the DEV team could have any difficulty in fixing an artificial horizon, they have done much harder than this, kudos to ED on that perspective. However after all considerations, in whatever way you consider the current situation, it is actually very sad for the community. If past coding is hard to fix, then just erase it and provide us with at least some sort of an attitude indication, forget suction and all the other realistic stuff and at least make the product usable, for us and the content creators like reflected simulation. 

The same goes to all other issues reported like tail wheel strut and main landing gear, they have been fixed after a very long wait and to be honest, I could not see the difference in between the realistic final solution and what we initially used, however one important thing changed: The plane can now taxi, land and take off. Breaking a product just to make it more realistic is not a solution unless you do it in house and then release something that is working,

Are we customers really asking for too much...?

Thanks for your passion and support,

@NineLine @BIGNEWY any update on this? Still under investigation?

You’d think something so fundamentally important to flying would be a priority to have working. An artificial horizon, a windsock, a compass and radio can all come in pretty handy in an aeroplane.

I could write all day about what I think’s wrong with DCS. Chasing the new and improved shiny things without finishing anything properly only leaves us all with quantity over quality. The lack of interest in our vintage set is pretty gutting a lot of the time. There’s so much potential, it’s a shame really.

The CA thing is saucy. It should be a part of the core as well as being supported. Instead we’re robbed of our sheckles for it. I came here and spent so much on DCS because of the way it flies as well as for what it flies. I’d be quite happy flying props all the time if we had more we could make use of properly. Saying that, I haven’t flown anything in weeks and I’m gagging to get in me choppers but give me my Spitfire and I’ll be well happy.

I’ve just read another thread from Waterman. He’s been working enthusiastically with our crumbling rail network. It’s another part of the DCS workflow. Have a great idea, do some work on it, release it before it’s finished then oh look a shiny thing and off they go to the next big idea. Waterman’s built rolling stock, turntables and god knows what else to try to help ED do what Mussolini did decades ago. He’s had his thread full of pleas shut down and yet again, ‘our team are aware of it’ is about as far as it goes. One man in his shed might glance over it one day but really, there’s more enthusiasm for chasing the next shiny dream instead.

We have to work with what we have I s’pose? The glacial pace of development and maintenance gets weary but the lack of interest is where it gets saucy. We’re paying money for our vintage stuff the same as we pay for jets, helis and the rest of development. We deserve better.

I think another update should be on the cards to make us feel better. A big fat one filled with Corsairs, Zeros, Typhoons, Heinkels, Griffon Spits and Wildcats and shiny locos working on a functional rail network. May as well have some vintage cars and a water slide while we’re at it. And help Modders, they’re trying to help all of us get a better DCS. - I’d better stop before I start on about the state of our Navy. D-Day very much postponed and we’re waiting for a train to port . I wonder if now’s a good time to bump the Mossie target indicator thread?

I'll check on this one today and see what I can find out. Thanks!

Hey all, while the tracks from campaigns did work, I was finally able to reproduce on a Hot Start and slightly on an Air start, this is reported and set to High Priority. Thanks all, and sorry it took so long.
