Fuel gauge always on and new LWS Jam prot switch

[BaD CrC]

Not a big deal, but it seems like my fuel gauge is always on and indicates fuel quantity even before I flip my fuel quantity switch on.

 

Secondly, I saw that there is a new shortcut and active switch available in the options/commands, the LWS JAM PROT switch on the main left panel nearby the lights test button. I assigned on my pit the new default LCTRL+L shortcut and it works fine(visually) except that I do 't know if it behaves the way it is described in the manual, i.e automatic laser jamming. Is this function really implemented now or is it cosmetic?

Thanks.

I am assuming this is for the su25? World is inclusive for several different modules so just saying your fuel gauge is going haywire, wont lead to a solution. Can you be more specific as to the problem. What module? What version number? Does it happen only in certain missions?

Woops. Sorry you are right. I am too used to post on the BlackShark part of this forum so I forgot to say that.

Indeed, flying on the Ka-50 BlackShark latest patch version. Happens all the time on MP (I don't fly much SP anymore).

bonjour BadCrC,

 

I am just now getting 1.2.1 running again as I work on the pit. One thing I noticed lately is that Yellow 25 in the RU Walkaround website shows fuel in the tanks even though no power is on in the photos. I was wondering about that and then I see your post here. Perhaps it is a realism thing(?). Is it in Helios on your gauges or in the sim too?

 

My MWS switch is a dummie right now, but I'll wire it up if there is a reason.

 

BigfootMSR: for obvious reasons, there are some of us who will only fly the KA-50 (lots of work involved in our setups) :)

 

Look forward to flying with you. I am hoping to be finished by Christmas.

The fuel gauge test button did not seem to operate for me either, so this may be a 1.2.1 bug.

Good to see you back.

 

Fuel gauge stays on both on Helios and the virtual cockpit. I can only think of a bug, otherwise why having a fuel gauge switch?

I wired all the switches I could before realizing, when assigning the short cuts, that some of them were not even active! So luckily enough, I got this MWS one already wired and I added the new shortcut. But still, no idea if it actually does what the manual says it does.

 

Looking forward to fly with you.
