DanKurt Posted December 26, 2008 Posted December 26, 2008 I have a problem with slewing the Shval. When I have been actively scanning the battle field looking for a target, I find that the Shval sensor starts to go on out of my control scan and I dont seem to be able to get it back under control:joystick: Ive tried switching off the Shval, laser sensor reset and keyboard P (I think its Auto target cannon.) Do any of you chaps have issues with this?

Grodin Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 Please see the shkval tutorial ;) It has a "Automatic scan" feature or whatever it's called, it will go around in patterns for you! Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity.
blave Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 The Shkval seems to never want to stay "boresighted" when turned on - it always wants to stay on whatever it's pointed at (even without a lock or when not Ground Stabilized), so that when you make a turn or whatever, its line of sight goes "off the map", locked to some random point on the countryside I have my cyclic's (actually, CH Products Combat Stick) "uncage" button set to have an alternate function that re-centers the Shkval when it and a modifier button (on my "collective") are pressed simultaneously, and I find myself doing that constantly to "get back" the Shkval into my area of interest - either that or (via BKSP) turn it off entirely until I need it again, as that cages/boresights it. Either way, it's pretty annoying and I'm hoping that we're missing something here - but I've spent more hours than I care to admit over the last week trying to suss this sim out and this is what I Think I Know. BTW this has nothing to do with the automatic scan feature, which I find to be pretty useless. You probably know this but if you press your Uncage button twice it will start to scan. When I first started messing around with BS I thought the auto scan was such that it would find and Lock targets (as in "Game" mode) - but now that I know it's really just an "auto slew back and forth" I don't see any use for it.

Grodin Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 Guess it is there to keep it from freezing / rusting into place cos llack of lubrication :smilewink: Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity.
Reoze Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 this is actually a bug with windows, key released messages seem to get "lost" sometimes and it fails to recognize that you stopped holding that button. This is usually in the case where a button "repeats" as long as you hold it down. Try pressing the shikval slew TOWARDS whichever direction it's wandering off to. Just click it, once or twice should be it. Then you should have full control in all axis.
Boberro Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 If you don't press or set anything when searching by Shkval there is thread about eee this "issue". Please read this thread, many folks said similars accidents. Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make... HISTORY! :D | Also to be remembered: FRENCH TANKS HAVE ONE GEAR FORWARD AND FIVE BACKWARD :D ಠ_ಠ ツ

scatter Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 this is actually a bug with windows, key released messages seem to get "lost" sometimes and it fails to recognize that you stopped holding that button. This is usually in the case where a button "repeats" as long as you hold it down. I suspect that it maybe more than this sometimes as I use an analog stick (no keypresses) to move the shkval and still see this happening every now and then. This has made me very wary about switching on "turn to target". [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Virtual Australian Air Force
Brute Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 (edited) this is actually a bug with windows, key released messages seem to get "lost" sometimes and it fails to recognize that you stopped holding that button. This is usually in the case where a button "repeats" as long as you hold it down. +1 Also, happens to my views when using a hat switch on my joystick. The only way to stop wild panning is to cycle through all the directions: UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT. Same goes for the Shkval. For me, Lomac and BS are the only games in which this happens, so it may be the game's engine bug not the Windows one. Edited December 27, 2008 by Brute
littlejohn1959 Posted December 27, 2008 Posted December 27, 2008 i read through the thread that boberro linked here and it came to a ,,,, blank . its a bug in the game ,, stick ,, keyboard , now ,, windows . hopefully it will get sorted . its annoying , for sure . seeing its more than one or two that has the trouble , it really should be looked into . thats my 2 cents . cheers from here .

Feuerfalke Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 It's a bug and it's not related to windows, keyinputs or autoscan. I confirmed the same malfunction with XP and Vista64bit and each with using buttons and ministick on my Cougar and my CH HOTAS. No matter what distance to the target if you locked on to something or not, sometimes the SHKVAL just starts speeding off, in my case mostly in 4-5 o'clock direction. Sometimes it helps to quickly activate target lock, but most of the time the lock breaks immedately and only resetting or recentering helps.

Reoze Posted December 31, 2008 Posted December 31, 2008 It's not a BS specific issue. I've had this problems with quite a few games, It's direct input related.
