[randomTOTEN]

I have some ASP-17 related bugs I would like to post, but I feel like holding off until these more important problems can be reported.

Is this first search you have done in that mission? If you bank and force Petrovich to close sight to save gyros, once opened sight will stay in that position until you command another scan.

You also said screenshot is taken instant after search command. If sight is way to one side (so it hits HUD limits) it takes a second or so for sight to get where you want it.

It would be best if you can post a short track or video.

Thanks for the feedback. I've added a track file and a short video (excerpt from the track) incase the track does not result in the issue on other people's setups

This is so messed up. I'll check track once I'm back home.

Did you try running it at some other resolution?

Slow repair?

Yup also run on a singel monitor at 2560 * 1440 with exact same issues.

What do you mean by "Slow repair"?

[admiki]

When you do DCS repair, you get asked whether you want to check only modified files or you want to check all files of DCS. It takes a lot more time and even ED calls it slow.

If a file is corrupted during instalation/update, it will not register as modified and won't be fixed by default repair. Slow repair will actually check if a file is OK before moving onto next one.

I did a "verify integrity" in steam (took ~10 min), then retested. Still no good. How does the track file look to you @admiki ?

I did not realize this is training mission. Did you try to use Petrovich in any other mission?

Speaking of which, for me you first looked down and right and Petrovich followed. You then moved crosshairs to the middle of the HUD and he tracked perfectly.

Yeah, I've tried custom missions with the same problem. I suspec the track is playing back fine on your system. Perhaps take a quick look at the video excerpt in the orignal post, this shows what I see on my monitors when playing back the track.

Yes I did watch the video.

One other thing you can try is to wait until system is fully warmed up before trying to unlock the gyros? Wait with telling petrovich to search until everything is ready

OK, one last idea. Drop resolution to something low, 1080p or less and try again

So when I set resolution inside dcs to 1920 x 1080 everything works as it should! The Pet ai traid is cented on my screen and when I command a search he searches directly where I designate. Whne I swithc back to 3840 x 2160 it breaks again. 

As much as this is great, I'm pretty keen to not call this fixed as it should really work at higher reses

Yeah, I agree. But it is playable at 1920x1080, so at least you got that

And another patch and still no fix

[Mustang25]

@NineLine Can we get any update on this issue please? Our current options are to either have an unusable UI or an unusable Petrovich and that's not really conducive to having a good time.

[Rikk]

Change "scale gui" to 1 and it will be fine, this is already reported and known, it started at the patch in march.

Thanks @Rikk, this is indeed the same issue. @Moderators feel free to close this issue as duplicate of below, but please bump the priority to fix too!

 

[BlitzPuppet]

Haven't flown the Hind since I noticed this issue, sad that we're heading into the 2 month mark with no fix....but I guess that's how things are.

As it says in the title.

Thank you to razo+r for identifying what was causing the error.

We will investigate this 

[BIGNEWY]

This has been reported for the Mi-24 and AH-64D

thank you 

[Rikk]

Any update on when this will be fixed? We just had another fixup patch and still broken.

[Flappie]

A fix is in the works.

[Flappie]

It should now be fixed in OB.

Quote

Fixed: Petrovich AI menu does not take into account the scaling of the interface and reticle has left offset

 

[Flappie]

@Rikk It should be fixed by now in OB. Can you confirm, please?
