ruprecht Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 Hi, I've recently patched to 1.0.1 and have noticed a couple of bizarre issues. 1) When I am lit up by ground fire, I get horrible graphical stuttering (about 1 FPS) and after my framerate returns to normal, I have usually lost some random sound channels, be they rotor sounds, voice warnings etc. It seems almost as if the sim runs out of sound channels and fails to free them up again properly. I never had this issue with 1.0.0, and I haven't changed anything other than installing the patch. 2) autohover, route mode and auto turn to target do not work. At all. The annunciator lamps come on, and e.g. for autohover the little square appears in my HUD, so the modes are definitely active, but it's as if the autopilot functions are totally missing. I was previously able to use all of these functions fine in 1.0.0, so it is not a knowledge or procedure issue, unless the procedure has changed in 1.0.1? All my AP channels are active, FD is off, I come to a stable hover and trim properly, engage autohover, the mode appears normally, but the AP makes no effort to keep me in position. None. Auto turn to target doesn't work at all. Route mode throws my nose all over the sky and makes no effort to fly the trimmed parameters. FYI I am using the LWin-Home startup procedure, and I have unticked the new trim system as I find it much harder to use than the old one.

Panzertard Posted August 21, 2009 Posted August 21, 2009 1. ruprecht bud, how about giving us a DXdiag report so we can see which nuts & bolts you have in your system? 2. ...All my AP channels are active, FD is off, I come to a stable hover and trim properly, engage autohover, the mode appears normally, but the AP makes no effort to keep me in position Uncommanded inputs from somwhere? hm Controls calibration in windows perhaps?

ruprecht Posted August 21, 2009 Author Posted August 21, 2009 Ok will do, thanks man. Will check axis mappings etc, something may have gone squiffy with re-detection of my dozens of cockpit peripherals :) DCS Wishlist: | Navy F-14 | Navy F/A-18 | AH-6 | Navy A-6 | Official Navy A-4 | Carrier Ops | Dynamic Campaign | Marine AH-1 | Streaming DCS sometimes:

Ah, that should be a law against that ;) Hold on, Im just checking a similar thing where the options are enforced from the mission designer to the server - even though that be the intention. Still, glad to hear it's working again :) OK: - sound stutters still occur. Dxdiag attached. Downloading latest beta win7_64 drivers for my Asus Xonar DX PCIe soundcard, though not holding out much hope. Did anything change in the patch related to the sound architecture? Okai, you may want to try some new / other sound drivers. ------------ DxDiag Notes ------------ Display Tab 1: No problems found. Display Tab 2: No problems found. Sound Tab 1: The file cmudaxp.sys is not digitally signed, which means that it has not been tested by Microsoft's Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL). You may be able to get a WHQL logo'd driver from the hardware manufacturer. Sound Tab 2: The file cmudaxp.sys is not digitally signed, which means that it has not been tested by Microsoft's Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL). You may be able to get a WHQL logo'd driver from the hardware manufacturer. Input Tab: No problems found. I think testing WHQL logo'd drivers may be the way to go. :) The mind is like a parachute.

ruprecht Posted September 23, 2009 Author Posted September 23, 2009 FYI, the problem was my soundcard. I had an Asus Xonar DX PCIe which is supposed to be a high-end card. When I swapped it out and instead used the PCIe breakout board that came with my mobo, not only do I not get any stutters any more, but I'm hearing sounds I've never previously heard. It's possible that it is a driver issue with Win7_64 support I guess.
