Problem since update?

[Lionheartwolf]

Has anybody else noticed issues with manual wingsweep since the update? I took about a week or two off so I'm a tiny bit rusty, but I swear that the F14 doesn't start in emergency oversweep mode on the runway in the Nellis take off instant mission. In addition to that I'm also hooked up to electric and air supply and for some reason I can't contact ground crew or ATC. I can bring up the menu but clicking on either does nothing.

I have also on a few occasions now accidentally gone into oversweep while in flight when I go to full sweep in manual mode. When I say manual mode I mean manual mode, not emergency mode.

The F14 is just really buggy for me now and I haven't done anything since the update. It was working fine just a few weeks ago.

Yes something is weird.  I have had a couple problems but just respawned instead of mucking about with it.  I tried on the taxi to move the lever full forward then on departure to push the lever down and hit the reset button.  Seemed to work but its been a couple days and I was flying drunk while on vacation.  Maybe try that?  Giving it time, not flying drunk. Lol. Either way something changed

Were you able to contact them to get the ground power/air connected?

This is a visual bug with the wingsweep indicator and shouldn’t actually effect the wing sweep schedule/behavior. It should be resolved next patch

I’ll take a look when I get a chance

Does this include the emerg oversweep flag?  I've noticed with wings set to auto, cover down, and you go fast renough so they sweep back to 68 deg, the emerg oversweep flag comes on.  Is that a bug?

Yes, it's a bug.

Having hopped in with the latest OB. 

• I spawned on the runway with wings in over sweep. This is expected and intended as a fix for carrier stuff. You now need move the wings forward into the spider detent and reset the CADC.
• I was not connected to ground power or air supply at spawn.
• I could contact the ground crew over the intercom to connect/disconnect ground air supply, and they responded
• I could contact ATC over the radio with the proper frequency selected, and they responded.

Think of the wing sweep handle on a track that goes from 20 to 100. The handle should only be able to move between 20 and 68 using the hat switch and/or the auto program. The EMER/OVER flag should only raise if the handle reaches 69. Right now it's raising when it reaches 68. In all of my testing it's just been a visual issue, it would hit 68, the flags would raise, but then if you slowed down/manually moved them forward with the hat, the flag would lower and the auto/man flag would come back up as expected. 

I've never seen it go to EMER/OVER and get stuck there without me moving the handle physically. This should be fixed in the next patch.

More importantly, you still have full elevator authority. When you are actually going into oversweep, you’ll get annunciators telling you the elevon is locked out of being able to hit the wing. It won’t actually oversweep until that interlock is satisfied.

That all is what I was experiencing, yes.  It is purely visual.
