BS2 1.2.x bugs and glitches thread (not CTD/BSOD)

[Devrim]

An issue:

 

I remember this: I'm approaching the target. I uncage the Shkval and find the target and lock. I press AutoTurn and MovTgt buttons (AP channels are ON). Then Ka-50 turns to the target.

 

But, last night in a MP mission, I did that but she didn't turn and kept to go directly. I engaged Route Mode and she finally headed to the target.

 

Which one is it?

Isn't that the normal behaviour? I learned (the hard and long way) to treat "Route mode on/off" as "autopilot on/off" and thus, with route mode off I am not surprised that the helo does nothing when you enable Auto Turn to Target alone.

If anyone else is still getting the flashing white boxes with HDR on, as I was with CCC 13.4, PeterP seems to have come up with a fix for it, which works for me :)

Thought I should draw attention to it as it's in the Warthog forum and might get overlooked for Black Shark pilots.

 

I've just been flying without any HDR because of this bug but it'll be nice to be able to use it now if I want. I don't think this fixes the flashing black buildings bug, which is equally annoying but it's one less issue anyway.

Wingman flying right through me

 

My wingman returns from a recon order.

I give a new recon order at the moment he turns to my course about 50m behind me.

He confirms the order and flies right into me, causing us both to crash.

The best: i get punished for this crash (reason: you shot own troops) with -50 points :doh:

 

I attach the recording of the mission.

Maybe he was tired of doing recon missions :)

While trying to mark datalink points with a target point selected in the PVI, all the datalink points get the PVI TP's coordinates instead of the coordinates where the Shkval is actually pointing. Anyone else having this issue?

Not sure I understand issue -- but if you're expecting some coordinates from where you have your Shkval pointed, be sure to set the left switch (below the PVI there are two switches) to the

Shkval setting (I think it is the "up" as opposed to "down" setting).

Working as designed, I'm pretty sure: if you have a point selected in the PVI, the datalink will prioritize that.

[seikdel]

Huh. I guess I thought it always looked at the Shkval. Oh well, seems like a great way to pre-enter datalink points, then.

Have anyone noticed that the load out on the shark is not reflected by the shadow when looking from inside the cockpit:

 

In external view the load out is reflected in the shadow, strange...

[Erforce]

Amazing, i never saw that one coming :clap:

 

i hope we'll get a better shadow with EDGE, like the water reflection :)

yup, has been reported, but IDK what happened after that.

I'm having a very annoying problem with 1.2.6 update 2, which I call click-through, where on clicking either on the map or in the cockpit, it will swap me to the desktop, as if I'd clicked on it and sent DCS out of focus.

 

I'm not sure how this is possible though as I'm running fullscreen! It only happens a few times each mission but it's still annoying.

[Devrim]

Have you installed any new software recently?

 

Edit: My antivirus software used to do that. Latest version does not, though.

I don't think so, although of course some software has been updated. I'll try killing some software anyway and see if it still happens without any mods and then try with the mods again.

[Devrim]

I don't think the problem is your mods or DCS. I thought it was like Windows itself or a software that running background...

 

My anti-virus software's desktop gadget was fighting with DCS. The gadget was trying to show itself and fighting with DCS. That caused a problem like yours. When I click on anything for DCS, I found myself on desktop...

 

Ok. I hope you'll find it. See you.

Hmm, I do have HwinfoMonitor gadget on my desktop although I'm not sure if I had HwInfo itself running at the time, in which case it doesn't display anything but perhaps still tries to update it's display. I'll try disabling the gadget and see if that helps, thanks.

I am seeing this as well, but I was seeing it before update 2.

[Suchacz]

^^^ confirmed by me too

Tested without the gadget enabled/visible and no mods (other than headtracker dll, which in fact I wasn't using before when I had all my other mods enabled) and still had the same problem.

 

As others have confirmed they're having it too, I'm thinking it might be something ED needs to fix.

Change log 1.2.7: depressing at best. Feel sorry for all you guys hard work on this thread.

 

Think I'll throw the towel and live with that from now on.

[tietze]

I did not think that I would write this, but it seems ED has a lot on their hands at the moment and the KA-50 bugfixing activity has been dormant for some time. I still have patience and trust that they will work on fixing the remaining bugs at some later time.

 

The most frustrating aspect about this is that there is no communication about it - it could just be some vague assurance that it will be fixed at some later point.

[Devrim]

I still have hope for that. :)

Good for you Devrim. :thumbup:

 

I feel I already reached the last stage of the Kübler Ross model with ED:

Denial: That's OK. I am sure ED is working hard on my favourite module. Why wouldn't they? They are doing the best sim in the world already :thumbup:

 

Anger: Seriously ED! Another patch and NOTHING again for BS? :mad:

 

Bargaining: Please ED, I promise if you keep the maintenance of BS, I'll buy all the existing DCS modules and the future ones, even the beta!! :helpsmilie:

 

Depression: 1.2.0: nothing, 1.2.1: nothing, 1.2.2: Nothing........1.2.6: nothing, 1.2.7: nothing :cry:

 

Acceptance: Oh well. I already give up on the naval ops with a Ka50 anyway, and who cares about magnetic deviation? Using ADF? Well, ABRIS is enough. HUD not repairable. I'll take a new aircraft. That's OK. :noexpression:
