need track replay F-16 HMCS

[SgtNickElis]

I don't know if it's realistic behavior but HMCS is off while taxiing and comes on only after wheels up.
The thing is that sometimes it won't switch on during flight even if I fiddle with the brightness knob or the long press of the DMS.

I'm talking about HMCS occasionally not working with gear up during flight.

Make sure you check the HMCS DED page (List - 0 - rcl i believe) to verify the HMCS blanking settings. By default the Cockpit and HUD blanking options are enabled.

depending on where you look, it will blank the hmcs if blanking is enabled.

 
also make sure to not accidentially press DMS down long, which disables/enables HMCS without needing to screw around with the brightness rotary.

Just a reminder to all that the HMD issue with the gear down has been reported earlier and it is already fixed internally, waiting a future update.

As for the other issue mentioned mid-flight by @SgtNickElis, there are a lot of items that we need to verify before calling it a bug. Like @_SteelFalcon_mentioned, the DMS aft long press will temporarily turn off the symbology and you have to take into account the blanking settings. I would also add that sometimes in some missions the HMD is not the default device and users will not notice they have NVGs installed. I would also make sure no mods are interfering with this feature.

But, if all above isn't valid and you still feel it's a bug, as @BIGNEWYsaid, we need a track to understand what may be going on.

Please please please push the fix out, even if it's all you push out.

Hey @SickSidewinder9

We are aware this is a nuisance to many players. We're trying hard to send an update as soon as possible, but this is a process and we're also handling other issues at the moment.
Stay tuned, it will come soon.
