FSXHD and goljat training mission issues

[FSXHD]

I can't tune the ILS frequency. It won't go past 108.300. I tried installing the training mission hotfix update and the 3gb switch but nothing has worked. Does anyone know a solution?

In the guns and missile tutorial I can't figure out how to launch rockets/missiles with a keyboard. I have tried three times from the start so I think I have the settings right. The spacebar is for the cannon.

 

Waiting for a joystick..

Could you provide a track of your flight, so we can make sure you have the correct version of the mission?

The key combination to fire weapons is RALT + SPACE. Is this what you're pressing?

Thanks!

I'll happily do that, but I tried tuning it in a free flight mission and it wouldn't budge there either. I bought this on Steam a few days ago because of the sale with another friend and he has the same issue as well. We both have 1.1.0.8. The track is too big to be attached to this forum so I have provided a download link through Dropbox.

EDIT: I have set key commands to tune the ILS frequency. The knobs move when I press the corresponding key just as they do when I use the mouse, but the numbers in the readout do not change. All other radios that operate like this work fine. The ILS panel is the only one that seems broken at the moment. I am running 32-bit Win7 as well if that info helps.

Are you saying that your mouse scroll-wheel does not turn the MHz and KHz frequency dials?

You attached the mission file itself, not the recording of you flight. However, it does seem to be the updated mission. Still, it might be useful to see your actual track. You can save a track by running the mission from the Mission Editor. The save track option will be provided in the debrief screen.

This sounds strange. Possibly a weird keyboard issue? I just tested this in the release version of 1108. Mapped the ILS keys to combinations of RWIN + arrow keys. Worked fine (though step is too large for precise frequency control). And your mouse wheel doesn't work when scrolling it over the knobs?

I'll upload the track tomorrow as its getting late here now. But about the scroll wheel, when I do scroll over the mHZ and kHZ knobs, the knobs move as if they were working but the readout does not change. The same situation happened with the keyboard commands. The knobs move, the readout does not change.

After reading the other thread, I'll not post the track as you will get the same result. I'll try downloading off of the DCS site and reinstalling. I've never really trusted Steam installing huge and complex games like this one. I'll report back.

[FSXHD]

I'm happy to report that after a reinstall from DCS's site, all ILS-related functions work perfectly and I now can complete the landing mission. Problem solved. Either there is something wrong with the Steam version or it corrupts the first install. After the reinstall, I have also noticed a slight performance increase with the original copy over the Steam copy. Thanks EvilBivol-1 for your time.

Would you mind posting your system? I'm 99% certain it's just the Steam install is borked, but I'm wondering if we have anything in common that might be a factor in it.

Sure! A reinstall will fix it almost certainly, but here are my specs.

 

CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 at 2.4 GHz

Memory: 4gb RAM (not sure which DDR; 2 or 3 is my guess)

Graphics: Two NVIDIA GeForce GTS 450 1gb cards

HDD: 500gb Western Digital drive @ 7200 rpm

OS: Windows 7 SP1 32-bit

 

That's pretty much it. Hope it helps!

[Dark_Swordmaster]

We have the same CPU. I don't know if that'd be the issue.

 

CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4Ghz

Mem: 2GB

Video: nVidia 8800GT

OS: Win 7 32-bit

 

 

Not sure if it matters, but considering we both had the same issue, and it was reoccurring, it might be something to look in to about the Steam version for ED. Or not, considering it was fixed by grabbing it off their site...

[EvilBivol-1]

When I downloaded and installed a Steam version to test this problem, it worked correctly, so there is something more subtle going on than a general Steam installation problem. If anything, my first suspect would be the 32bit OS, which both of you also have in common.
