This has been occurring for me 100% of the time.   I have only tested in single player single threading.  Restarting does nothing.  I noticed after the initial 2.9 update and it persists with the most recent 2.9 "patch". 

 

That's interesting  I was under the impression the common factor for the few people encountering this issue was multithreaded DCS.

I only found out about this bug today from reading yesterday's beta update post.  I will say that I run MT and have not ever had this TCS experience, even before yesterday's patch, or the others, to the extent that I wasn't even aware there was a bug reported.  I fly SP, MP, and Campaign and have not had any issues.  I fly the Steam version.  So I guess I fall into HB's boat where I can't reproduce it.

Are you flying in VR ?

[Dentedend10]

I fly in VR in MT Open Beta and am still affected as well

Same problem here.

For example the Lantirn instant action mission over Falklands. If you escape the mission and then choose refly it works fine. Also in ST it works fine.

So easy to reproduce on my rig… The developers really need to look into this.

I only have the problem in MT. Happens every time and on all maps I have tried. Can quit mission and select Refly. Then it’s ok. In ST it works fine.

Hope you can figure this out soon!

Known bug - pilot TCS/LANTIRN display is not working correctly in first mission in session when using VR and MT.

Again, no fix in this update? 
 

Could please anyone take away the fixed status? It isn’t fixed

[Schlomo1933]

Still not fixed…. Happens for me in SP also In MP

[RaisedByWolves]

Agree. Although first time I tried, TCS and TGP display worked. Then started different mission, and had to do the two step process of end mission, and re fly. Then it worked. Le Sigh

@Cobra847 @gyrovague Can you guys make sure the files get uploaded in a possible coming hotfix?

[Joe1978]

I find quite strange that the patch is not released. It was supposed to have been ready since October.

Guys, any progress.... or information about?

[PawlaczGMD]

It isn't fixed in the latest update.

In MT VR, screen is often black. As someone above pointed out, quitting the mission, and clicking "fly again" fixes it!

PS: this also affects LANTIRN when it happens. The pilot's screen will be solid green, and nothing is visible.

Again not fixed.

A potential fix has been submitted -- nobody on our team has been able to reproduce this error, but we spotted a way in which it might be able to happen. Note that it could take up to 4-6 weeks for this to become available in openbeta, keep an eye on the DCS F-14 release notes for this issue.

2 month now ... where is this fix ?

[Schlomo1933]

Nothing solved .

[winghunter]

It seems to be broken depending on the type of mission. In instant action it works for me. But for other missions it wont work

Two weeks. 

[Schlomo1933]

And again….

[RustBelt]

Until you see it mentioned as fixed in the patch update, it’s still, not again.

@RustBelt you are right. I just try that Heatblur don’t loose focus of this bug. Because it’s on of the nerve testing ones for me.

I'm having this issue now. I'm in VR, Multi-Threading.

The VDI TV screen is either black or bright green if I change the contrast.

[British_Dragon_14]

I just noticed this issue myself and I've tried multiple way's to fix it with no joy. I didn't have the black VDI TV screen before the latest patch where they merged both stable and open beta versions. Changing the contrast just makes the screen bright green or black.

I'm on MT in VR. I can't visually identify friend or foe anymore or see ground targets when doing ground attacks.

This doesn't give me much confidence about the upcoming F4 Phantom, that I was looking forward to when this bug effectively breaks the F-14 for me in multiplayer and a lot of single player missions as it is such an important tool for me.

There's no fix but there is a workaround told in this very thread. Just load a mission, exit and load it again. Check the TCS while starting the aircraft. Better now than find out about it in the hot zone.

Unfortunately HB can't reproduce and fix the bug.
