fixed MPD Rotary Controls (if bound) not animating/functioning when engines not running

[NickK]

When the cockpit is cold and dark, it sems impossible to bind the rotary brightness/symbology controls - the knobs don't move at all. However, it seems the bindings ARE being set, but until the engines are running (simply powering up doesn't appear to fix this), the knob animation is not working (and have no effect).

With a hot start, all is well.

From cold and dark, bound brightness/symbology knobs won't move (or have any effect) UNTIL the engines are running.

I hope that makes sense

Hi, 

welcome to the forum 

Please ensure in your dcs settings you are not using game flight or game avionics.

Please include a track replay showing it happen, you can save a track when you exit the mission.  

thanks

Small correction - the animation/bindings function with the APU running (or main engines of course) but if the engines and APU are shut down, the knobs no longer move. The biggest implication is that I spent an hour trying to bind these controls thinking I had a hardware problem.

I'd love to attach the trk file but there's no paper clip to attach anything to these posts? I've searched for a solution without success. I've been using this forum for years .... I have no idea why I can't attach any files.

..... I suspect it's due to my forum login now being different to my DCS login? For some reason, my DCS login no longer works on the forums so I created a new one. Don't know why they would have got out of sync

Hi, 

no your forum login is meant to be different from your game login. 

You can if you wish to put the track on a cloud link like google drive and share the link here.
