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

[tietze]

Ok, I've been discussing this with another KA-50 pilot that the fuel consumption is higher with the latest patch. Anyone else confirm this?

[Griffin]

When the ADF is slaved to the R-800L1 VHF radio and the ABRIS RMI needle is slaved to the ADF, the needle indication on the ABRIS doesn't point to the radio transmitter. I should probably look closer at this though.

Lost that about the same time we lost manual gyro operation. Start looking through lua files... never know what you will find. There may be other bug fixes like the SAI we can do ourselves.

 

I have not been able to fly long enough to test it, tietze. Any chance you had battle damage and lost fuel?

 

Uh oh... foot in mouth edit.

 

I put the R-800 ADF switch to 'on' and then contacted tower. The needle went from straight ahead, to (I think) the tower when the tower replied to me. It might work.

 

One more edit...

 

It did not appear to work when tested online. I remember that used to work.

It works perfectly with the HSI needle, it's the ABRIS that doesn't work (in SP).

[Mike Busutil]

It happened again to me last night while in multiplayer. I did a repair (broken blade) and than refueled to 100%, I also added two external fuel tanks. (No ammo) saw this appear again. Also to note with this, when the flairs are used they are not visible.

That's very insteresting that we encounter the most weird bugs in multiplayer arena I think.

I see... good find. I know that displayed a red arrow not too long ago. I see the RM2 heading indicator in the low left corner of the ABRIS screen has a yellow box around it.

[JG14_Smil]

The red RM2 arrow on the ABRIS works fine. It is slaved to the R-828 (as is the ARK-22), so you need to be tuned properly there. If it still does not work, you need to replace your beacons.lua file. Let me know if so.

[JG14_Smil]

Erforce, I'll go over the list this week.

 

My latest nit is the loss of the EKRAN turn indicator ("Queue" lamp) that is supposed to light up as a reminder of an upcoming waypoint change. I remember that as working in the past, but it could be as far back as BS1. I'll start paying more attention to the other three EKRAN indicators to see if they are duds too.

[Devrim]

Hi; I'm sorry if that is mentioned before.

 

We can't see blade-tip lights from cockpit. Is this normal because of position of light on the blade or a bug?

 

Thanks.

Hi All

Due to playing the Huey campaigns I have not spent enough time in the shark but since the last few upgrades am I noticing the Gun resetting to bore sight and not tracking locked targets?

 

It is possible it is a laser problem that is causing the miss-tracking of the gun but due to the fact I am toe to toe in combat when it happens I haven't really had time to check if the range looks right.

Re-caging the shkval cures the problem but I never saw this problem so frequently before.

It is happening with both regular lock/engage and slave gun to HMS.

Does any one else notice this or is it me?

[BBQ]

I suggest posting a track, as for me, I haven't had such a problem.

[Devrim]

1) DCS Version 1.2.5 (with today's hotfix), the rotor sound can't be heard in outside (F2) view, right?

 

2) I wonder why this thread is not "sticky"?

[msalama]

the rotor sound can't be heard in outside

 

I'm hearing it just fine. Running v1.2.5 plus the hotfix.

[Devrim]

So, I'll check my sound files or sound mods, or I should fresh install may be...

Thank you. :)

As of 1.2.5 theres a few hot keys that aren't working for me. Route mode ®, Cannon select ©, abris buttons (1,2,3), laser warning reset (L). Can anyone else replicate this? I've double checked and they are all still mapped in the options>controls menu.

[msalama]

Didn't test / use the others when flying online last night, but the cannon select hotkey seems to work at least. I'm running v1.2.5.15865.

All working pal.

With my (UK) Microsoft Sidewinder X4 keyboard, DCS World 1.2.5 still sees my \ key as OEM102 and my # key (to the left of the Enter key) as \

 

Windows and all other programs see the keys correctly, so it's specific to DCS World.

 

This means I have to go through and find any functions that are assigned to \ or modifier+\ and add a mapping of OEM102 or modifier+OEM102, otherwise I can't use them. I have to do this every time I buy a new module and if I have to reset the profile for any reason.

 

SPU-9 PTT is by default mapped to Ralt+\ but as DCS World doesn't recognise that key properly, until I re-map it to Ralt+OEM102 I am unable to open the Radio Menu (I don't use Easy Comms mode).

 

If ED would just add an additional mapping using OEM102 to all the functions that use \ in the default module profiles, customers with UK keyboards wouldn't have this problem. I suppose it would be better if DCS World just recognised the keys properly, as all my other programs do but this would be a reasonable workaround.

Taking off from boats have never been worse with 1.2.5.

[Devrim]

I'm not sure how, but absolutely there's a problem with Ka-50. Sometimes completely she goes the way where she wants. Doesn't listen to you even if AP is on, AutoTurn is on or WP is selected.

 

Tonight in a MP mission, I experienced this twice. I launched Fraps before entering MP mission. Because I knew this would happen. When ready, I'll upload to YouTube.

[BBQ]

I thought it was a problem with my sidewinder 2 -- but no matter where you trim the pitch -- say 5 degrees up, it will sometimes pitch down drastically. Watch controller input at 25 seconds into video, and again at 1:05. I am simply taking my hand off of the joystick -- after having trimmed it. In both cases it maxes out the pitch (forward). In other times in the video, when you hear me trimming -- I am letting go of stick, and it works fine.

how's that BaD?

 

doesn't have access to DCS right now.

 

 

about the pitch problem, BBQ, nice video. thank you Devrim and you.

is it hapenning while online only ?

You will slide of the deck with your parking brakes on. If you are able to start the Ka-50 fast enough you might be able to get off the deck before you end up in the sea.

 

But I guess the sea is where sharks belong...

[Dr_Arrow]

This probably applies to the whole World, but in the Shark I cannot get allied flights to report anything with correctly set comms (everyone checked on 124 Mhz, VHF2, comms in options checked). I wrote it to DCS world general bug thread but don't know if it gets noticed there.
