Pitch input issues when taking control of a previously recorded track


Recommended Posts

I often use the Save/Load Track feature of DCS as a workaround save game option as I usually do not find the time to play long missions in one go. This worked quite well in the past, but today I encountered the following issue:

  1. I flew the DCS A-10C Warthog mission "The Serpents Head" up to the target area.
  2. Then I was interrupted and saved the track of the mission.
  3. Later I loaded and replayed the track, used time acceleration to get to a point in time shortly before I left, and then took control of the A-10C.
  4. After taking control, I noticed that the plane pitched down although my physical control stick and the virtual control stick shown in the cockpit were centered. Neutralizing trim (e.g., by pressing the T/O Trim button) had no effect. Pulling back the stick burned airspeed and stalled the aircraft. Thus, I was unable to successfully take control and continue the mission from the track file.

I first thought it was an issue with the track file and re-flew the mission recording a new track file. However, I experienced the same behavior when replaying and taking control of the A-10C with the newly recorded track. Thus, I could reproduce the issue.

Next, I switched to the DCS A-10C II Tank Killer module and repeated the exercise with the "The Serpents Head for DCS A-10C II" mission to exclude that it has something to do with the deprecated DCS A-10C Warthog module and/or the corresponding mission file. However, I ran into the same issue.

Thus, I think that the issue might be general and unrelated to the DCS A-10C Warthog and DCS A-10C II Tank Killer modules and the corresponding missions.

I attached the second track file I recorded (please ignore my crappy flying).

I wonder if someone encountered similar issues and could successfully resolve them and how.
