Latest Update Broke Ka-50's Hover Mode

[SnowTiger]

I updated to DCS 2.9.17.12034 on Thursday but didn't get flying until this morning. 
Fired everything up and chose to conduct a Hover over the pad and everything went haywire. 

The Moment you put the chopper in Hover Mode the Autopilot Lights ALL go Off and Flash ON/OFF while the chopper starts doing everything but hover.
I didn't bother to see if anything else is Busted from the latest F-update.  I fly as a single person on a Multiplayer Server so I rely on Hover when conducting Recon. 

I hope it's fixed soon because while I have MANY more mods, I only fly the BlackShark and the Mustang and there aren't many servers for flying the Mustang any more.

Could you try to replicate in SP with a short track on the Caucasus map? Maybe it's the INS doing shenanigans in MP.

Cheers!

I will try to get back on DCS on Sunday midday to try it out in SP on Caucasus map and will upload a track file or report any difference then. 
Meanwhile, I noticed that the most recent update did have a correction to the Blade Tip Lights which I guess, were not tracking with the blade tips or something like that. It is my firm belief that any time DCS/ED touches anything .. such as Windshield Wipers or a Name Tag or whatever, something Completely Unrelated Gets BUSTED. It's been going on for Years. So who knows what this current issue is or if it's even the only one with the BlackShark.

Anyway, I sound like I'm just griping now so I'll sign off and check it out again tomorrow.
Thanks for the interest.

I apologize for not getting back here sooner. My health has not been great lately. 
I did fly last weekend in SP and everything was working fine until after about 30 minutes and then all of a sudden it all went haywire again. I didn't bother with the Track File because I figured it would take too long for anyone to find the issue. I hope to fly again tomorrow (Saturday) and if the problem still exists as I expect it will, I can only hope it'll happen quickly so I can keep a track file and/or video short. 
I just have to remember how to record a video from Nvidia. It has been years since I've even tried that. 

I have to admit, I am surprised no one else has mentioned having the same issue .. at least not in this thread. I can't imagine this is only happening to me ?

@SnowTiger No hassle! Can't check the track myself anyway at this time, while someone else might be able to. From the top of my head it could be a INU/alignment issue perhaps.

Maybe the height was less than 4 meters while he was hanging?

Standing on the pad, hovering is not enabled
