IronMike Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Dear all, as usual the feedback thread for the current patch. Our apologies again for the couple regressions we delivered with the AP the previous patch. They should all be fixed now. Equally MP seat switching should be enabled now. Heading hold remains an issue we will continue to work on after this patch, we improved it, but are not happy with the result yet ourselves. We're currently still looking in the issues with TWSA Weighting. Included in this patch you will find also the new DCS FLIR mechanics, which will show when doing LANTIRN for example. Thank you very much again for your continued feedback and support! DCS: F-14 Tomcat by Heatblur Simulations Fixed Multiplayer Seat Switching not working. Added new DCS FLIR mechanics. Autopilot Improved heading hold. Fixed trim-lock when disengaging during CSS. Fixed trim-lock on spawn. Fixed AP engaged on ground start, resulting in trim-lock. Fixed AP not working with FFB. Fixed Maneuver Flaps not working outside of standard altimeter pressure. Fixed several issues with Iceman. Fixed typo on VDI labels for trim and brightness: VSDI->VDI. Fixed JESTER camera near clipping issue. Updated several IA Missions to the latest version. Updated CN localization. 1 2 Heatblur Simulations Please feel free to contact me anytime, either via PM here, on the forums, or via email through the contact form on our homepage. http://www.heatblur.com/ https://www.facebook.com/heatblur/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bonesvf103 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 How do you switch seats in MP? I thought maybe pressing 1 or 2 but nothing. v6, boNes "Also, I would prefer a back seater over the extra gas any day.

Gun Jam Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 (edited) I gave autopilot a try with FFB MSFFB2. All the stability augs are on. I can now switch up on Alt hold and heading hold switch and they stay put. I can now toggle up on autopilot sw and I get "set ref" Climb is trimmed to under 1000FPM plane is nice and level. I hit NWS button "set ref" goes out. plane drifts away and either slow climb or dive and makes no attempt to hold any altitude. Suggestions? Thanks -Gun Edited March 31, 2022 by Gun Jam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadok Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Hello, If using autothrottle and disengage it, we loss control of the throttle. Thanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASW Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 I set the INS myself from the RIO location, then I record the route points 1,2 and 3 myself. Then I switch the DATA LINK to AWACS. But there are no route points and no other planes on the TID screen. If you launch the plane yourself, and RIO does everything automatically, then everything works. I'll figure it out. I have one question. If I was sitting in RIO's seat and then moved to the PILOT's seat, then if I forgot to turn something on, will RIO turn it on automatically?

Didn't take pictures, but I tested it out last night and it does work. Unfortunately it's not as 'clear' as say a Jeff or Apache given what we're working with. It didn't look much different from 26,000 ft (which I wouldn't expect it to). But down in the low teens you can clearly see the difference. This is a good representation of what it looked like for me. The 'default' looks OK, I'm sure with a human RIO able to further tune it in the back it would look better than the default. https://imgur.com/a/fM2u6dT 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I didn't include the buttons that are in the screenshot. When there is day and bright sun in the game, it is not visible whether they are turned on or not. They shine very dimly, there is no possibility of brightness adjustment. GreyCat_SPb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Having the same issue. When disengaged, the throttle axis just seems to freeze and no longer responds. Also, I'm not sure auto-throttle is even working normally when engaged. It seems to only move the throttle sporadically now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r4y30n Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Are you disengaging with the toggle switch? Have you tried overriding by chopping throttle to idle or going to mil/max? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried overriding by chopping throttle to idle or going to mil/max? Nope, once the auto-throttle is engaged, you lose complete control of the throttle axis. You cannot disengage it by moving the throttle in any direction or by clicking the switch off of auto. In addition, the AT seems to only be moving to two power settings of around 70% RPM and 95% RPM. It doesn't stop anywhere in between. This is on the F-14A, BTW. Haven't tried the B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSplayer Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 (edited) For some reason it no longer feels like the autopilot does anything when it's engaged with the Altitude and Attitude Hold switches up.

Either it works and you cannot disengage the auto throttle once it is working, or it won't work at all.

Works great for me, 99% of the time. Except for once the other day where it was no different than attitude hold. I failed to capture on video and I couldn't replicate. It's doing it every time for you? Record a video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLTeo Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 It's not specific to the patch, but I can't think of a better place to write this particular piece of feedback: I think HB should re-structure the stickies in the Tomcat forum, because atm it's very bloated. For instance, several threads could be moved to the big FAQ one, and some older ones can just be un-stickied (do we really need a change logs thread, when we have a dedicated feedback thread each time for instance?). Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panny Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 @IronMikeI've been getting a strange issue recently where for whatever recent radar contacts and trackfiles have been showing incorrect altitudes on multiplayer servers. Jester will still call their correct altitudes, as will datalink tracks show the correct altitude. It's been happening with more frequency the last few months and has made it very hard to figure shots out. I've seen some tracks down to -15,000 feet. I try to replicate it, but it's seemingly random Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

near_blind Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 2 hours ago, Panny said: It's not to do with waypoints but radar returns? I get that, but usually an issue like this is caused by the AWG-9 thinking it is in a position that it isn't, and that is usually caused by the RIO or Jester messing up coordinate data input. In my case I had jester input each of the six non numbered waypoints in rapid succession, and I'm curious if the speed which he entered them affected the issue, or if a specific waypoint type affected the issue, or if it's something completely unrelated.
