Controls, GUI, and Text

[Camper1704]

Promotion text is bugged, everytime I promote an AI to First Lieutenant it shows the next one: Captain as granted on the date I promoted to First Lieutenant and it goes on. When I promote an AI to Captain it shows the next one: Major as granted on the date I promoted the pilot to captain. Also, one of my AI pilots got injuried in a mission and his profile corrupted and he got sent to shadow real.

When flying a mission in an F80, once cruising speed is reached, you set the pitch trim value. However, if you choose to skip to the next waypoint using fast-forward mode, the moment you return to real-time flight, that last pitch trim setting is overwritten by a default nose-up value of -37.

Going to Commander's menu from the Multimenu does not recognize navigation buttons (other than number keys) in the first try.

So in every mission, I have to open it once, then close with ESC, and open again, then it works. I'm able to go down and into th options using my mapped keys (in my case a mini joy on the throttle).

 

This is a very helpful menu, so I would love it if this got fixed!

 

Have you tried enabling or_enable = 3 in the startup.cfg file?

Let me check. 

What is it supposed to do?

I don't use VR, but apparently this fixes the issue you are having.

It doesnt work, as I suspected, since the options are 0-2.

It shows the setting with a blank option selected and the VR headset doesnt run the game, it only runs on the monitor.

Okay, I'll let the team know, thanks.

So far, the flight experience is perfect!  However, within the menu after a flight my experience is stuttery at best.  I go to move the mouse and have to anticipate the movement as my screen is maybe moving 10 FPS.  I'm also getting a persistant warning of 'out of video memory'.

My settings are as follow and my sim is set to mid-performence settings with 1080p resolution.
 

Prozessor    Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10400F CPU @ 2.90GHz (2.90 GHz)
Installierter RAM    32,0 GB (31,9 GB used)
Grafikkarte    NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 (8 GB)
 

 

I ran an RTX 3070 on a i7 14700 system with 32G RAM and 1920 by 1080 and got a steady 80FPS (limiter was on).  The one thing I had to drop was 4K textures as they filled up the 8G and gave me a VRAM warning

My mouse menu BS was solved when I made sure I was running multi-core.  It was whack with single.

 

How do you do that?

When i connect my Winwing joystick, i cannot use the mouse cursor in the game 

the cursor constantly keeps flickering 

is there any fix ? 

 

Happening to me as well with my WinWing stick. Hey 1C, are you planning a fix for this?

Thanks!

I use a program that came with my computer.  It's called EasyTune by a company called GIGABYTE.  Kinda neet, I can over or underclock my machine very easy and on the fly.  My unit run single core by default so this is helpful to make the switch.
But...I'm not really certain that the cursor issue was solved by using multi-core...but the Sim sure runs better 🙂

1.004 – but this was from before: career, post-mission report AI. We have information about several "MiG-15biss," but it should be "MiG-15bis" or possibly "MiGs-15bis."

It's the plural form of MiG-15bis. Looks weird but it's technically correct in English.

You are right, of course English isn't my native language but wouldn't "MiGs-15bis" actually be the correct plural form, as I wrote?

No, the standard is to add an S when speaking of something plural. This is just one of those odd ones because the last letter in the singular is also the letter for the plural.

After installing the 1.04 Patch my key bindings seem to be screwed up.  Touching the map or Q key sets me into AI Auto leveler  

[Strat40]

Different but same kind here: opening the briefing map (with  a key in my throttle) also opens the canopy and shuts down the motor. Escape key seems to do the same.

I didn't map that and resetting all my keys didn't help.

According to Merriam Webster, it should be an 'es' suffix when the word ends in s. So: 'MiG-15bises'

PS. There is actually also an MiG-15BisS variant with modified wings that can store extra fuel and also extra oxygen, that could be used for longer flights. 49 of that variant were built.

49 MiG-15bisSs!

Found this out the hard way last night: renaming the key mapping profile that is currently set as the "Common actions profile" seems to delete that profile completely. Had to remap all my controls afterward, pretty annoying.

The 'Axis Noise Filter' doesn't work properly. 

I have a Saitek/Logitech Quadrant and the potentiometers are noisy (cheap crap) even when brand new. But applying the noise filter does nothing to alleviate it. In fact the only thing it does is make head tracking feel like you're moving your head through syrup.

The notion of a global noise filter is odd to me; shouldn't there be the option for applying a filter to only those axes that need some love?

Anyway, in the video keep an eye on the prop RPM; adding noise filter has no effect (except on head tracking).

Hey, just FYI, I also own the Logi yoke with 2 of the "throttle quadrants". I have found that using the electrical contact cleaner, the quick drying stuff that you can pick up at Lowes or Home Depot is good for cleaning those potentiometers in the throttle quadrant. The cleaner comes with the straw, and you can go right through each slot and shoot it right at the area of each potentiometer. I just sprayed the heck out of them, and kept working them and spraying them. I placed them on the side, and some of the liquid would seep out and I could see the "browness" of the gunk being cleaned away. You could also buy compressed air at OfficeMax to help with drying and moving the gunk. You can find little "testers" to download online to test the axis as you go, or just use the windows to monitor how smooth it's getting. So just spray, work it back and forth, spray some more, etc. 

Worth a shot if you want to try it, It worked well for me, I actually used one of the throttle quadrants for the DCS Apache throttles. You might have to do it a bunch, depending on how gunked up the potentiometers are.

Not sure if this is a bug, or if it was removed from prior titles, but there's no warning to turn around at the edge of the flyable area. Just suddenly you're in external view watching your plane fly off into the distance then slowly turn around.
