Various discrepancies

Hi,

Please find below some small issues still present at this time:

  • Bingo sound still ringing only once, even without reset.
  • Bingo sound ringing once when you put the AVER SONOR switch to on, even if you are far below the bingo fuel. With your logic, it should sound once at the bingo fuel, and if AVER SONOR is OFF it should not be heard at all.
  • Bingo fuel setting: these are "infinite" wheels. You can go from 9 to 0 and from 0 to 9. Quickest way to go from 2 to 8 for example is 2-1-0-9-8, and not 2-3-4-5-6-7-8... Working only 1 way at this time.
  • Radio: XFR not working. Normally recalls the last valid entry.
  • (cockpit art) IFF: fault flag is always present with a weird orange color. Normal state is black, and if there is a fault then the color is white.
  • IFF: mode 1 digits should go from 0 to 3 only. Mode 3 digits should go from 0 to 7 only.
  • Alarm test 1/2: there should be an alarm sound if AVERT. SON. switch is on.
  • Alarm test 1/2: PA/CDVE test panel lights should light up as well, same for IFF light.
  • Alarm test 1/2: all lights don't light up on both tests. For example PC light is only on test 2.
  • Fire alarm test: SEC/PC lights have to be pressed for the test. It lights them up and rings the alarm. SEC/PC light don't light up on alarm test 1/2.
  • Fuel panel test: lights don't light up on the alarm test 1/2, they have their own test (L+J and TRANSF).
  • Pressing DEMAR button with the throttle on idle doesn't launch the engine. It should begin the start-up sequence but result into an overheat.
  • FREIN light is ON with the PARK brake active. FREIN light is only for rudder brake.

Thanks

Did you try the mouse wheel? You can turn it both ways to turn the bingo digit wheels. And it indeed can change from 9 to 0 or 0 to 9 without doing the full turn.

It doesn't work on the thousands though, as it's limited to 0-3

We just checked.

The thousands wheel is blocked. You can't go from 3 to 0 or conversely, it's mechanically blocked on the real aircraft. Exactly as in DCS.

The wheels that go from 0 to 9 should allow going from 9 to 0 and conversely. Currently it works well in DCS using the mouse wheel. With mouse buttons you can go from 9 to 0 but not 0 to 9. So to conclude on this, only clicking with the left mouse button on a 0-9 wheel showing 0 does not work.

Should be fixed but absolutely low priority as mouse wheel is the new way (and much more convenient) and works perfect.

Regarding startup engine overheat, an engine overhaul is in the way and this is already on the todo list.

This requires a work with ED. Old story, the M2000C was the first full fidelity module using the DCS 3rd party API. At the time sound had to be handled by core DCS code and for legacy reasons this is still the case. Then ED quickly added the possibility for 3rd party modules to code their own sound. But for the M2000-C it's still hardcoded inside DCS. This is the only module in this case.

Unplugging this and switching to custom code using this API is a somewhat complex task and it will be done, but likely in a major DCS version change.
