All controls stop responding.
 

Detailed description, conditions:  

While playing Multi Player in the Combat Box server I have had 2 instances where all my controls Hotas, Mouse and Keyboard stopped responding but the game was still running. I was able to alt tab out to hard reset the game but nothing would respond inside the game. The second time it happened my Oculus Rift had also stopped tracking inside the game. I checked all my Peripherals out side of the game while it was still running and the all worked just not inside of the game.

In the bomber sight (all bombers) The choice of bombs does not seem to work.
Detailed description, conditions:
In the bomber sight (all bombers) The choice of bombs does not seem to work, the yellow / green panels do not light up. On the other hand, the rest of the controls such as: the direction of the wind, adjusting the altitude, opening the pump gate, work perfectly. I have done many tests, and it usually gives the error when I take off from the ground. If I start from the air there are times that it does let me have complete control over these parameters.
It only happens to me in VR, in Monitor2D it works perfectly.

Any solution?

Bug in the manual propeller pitch of Bf 110 E-2 and Bf 110 G-2.

Detailed description, conditions:
I proceeded to tests with the manual propeller pitch in our two Great Battles Bf 110s because of another player who had already encountered some trouble and informed of that in the French-speaking forum "Checksix". So there is a problem with the manual propeller pitch in the two Bf 110s in the game, the E-2 and the G-2. Without turning on the engines, stay (or not) on the engine selection by default which is the selection of both engines simultaneously. Then switch to manual propeller pitch and check if the blades in the affected propellers (either both or a specifically selected propeller) turn on itself/themselves (as it/they should). Check if the "outdoors" clocks on the engines show their needles properly turning (again, as they should). On the dashboard the animation of both manual pitch levers always works correctly. Nevertheless, depending on each spawning, the animations that should be visible in the propeller blades and in the clocks... will be visible... or not. Apparently this is a random bug. Sometimes you'll have to turn on the engines to get the manual propeller pitch properly working. Other times the manual prop pitch won't work even if you ignite your engines. Thus the bug can occur with engines off or on. Further more, the bug may occur in the right-hand side propeller or in the left-hand side propeller, indistinctly, or even in both simultaneously.

@343KKT_Kintaro,

I tried various options, had no problems with switching, with the manual propeller pitch on 110e 2 / 110g2.

Thank you Rapidus.

 

Did you see your blades slowy twisting when engines off? When left engine off? When right engine off? Did you try with engines on? With one engine on, With the other one on? Same thing about the clocks on the engines. All of this is very random when I do it myself, but sometimes it works, some other times... it doesnt. And I know when my aircraft is in automatic mode and when she's not.

 

The 109 E-7 and the 110 E-2 where equipped with the DB601 engine.

 

The 110 G-2 was equipped with the DB605 engine.

 

I have no idea if whether or not one of those two engine types needed to be electrically supplied in order to use the prop pitch mecanism. But if you do not start up your engine on board a 109 E-7 and you manually actuate your prop pitch mecanism, you'll clearly see the blades slowly twisting on themselves. You'll not obtain necessarily the same result on board a 110 E-2, nor a 110 G-2.

Smoke dispensers jettisoned on toggle.

 

Detailed description:

"Drop bombs, containers, paratroopers, emit smoke" action drops the dispensers completely, as if they were bombs.

[von_Tom]

I have had a new command - Window open/close - just below Cockpit open/close. 
 

When both have the same key assigned, that key does nothing. It only seems to affect aircraft that have a cockpit that opens, rather than those with a sliding window. 
 

For some reason the nav lights automatically re-mapped to the cockpit open/close button, so turning them off in the Macchi and the canopy disappeared.

I’ve done a video but all it shows is the cockpit opening (with window open/close NOT mapped to the open cockpit button), then not opening when the window key is mapped to the same as cockpit open/close. This is via a track and GeForce Experience recording.
 

The video does show the key mapping but does not show the actual key I’m pressing, so it doesn’t really help.

 

Other than videoing myself Im

not sure how else to help.

Detailed description, conditions:

I don't think I have any at this time, and I have mods disabled in the game menu.

How can I be sure? I have Steam version - should I verify files through Steam?

I watched your video, I can't understand one thing, why assign two actions to one button? And mutually exclusive, if you opened the cockpit, you will not open the window (as on the 109th for example).

I didn’t assign them like that, so far as I know. I do n't recall seeing the window command before. 
 

In aircraft with a window (Ju88 for example) the window key opens the window.

I’ve got the same problem as @von_Tom and it seems likely because I too have Open Window and Open Canopy bound to the same button on my throttle. Only became a problem after the last-but-one update.

 

Why set up like this? Because I use VR and only have a limited number of buttons available. If I want the windows/canopy open I’m happy to have them all open, and vice versa.

I only play single player and I have had this happen a few times fliying career missions if that makes any difference.

I was testing a bit over the weekend and it is definetly not pressing H by mistake as that writes a messeage to the screen that you have done so. Unfortunately, I haven't found any pattern as to why or when it happens.

 

In my cases, once it goes it does not return until starting the next flight.

I can confirm the issue.  It happened to me yesterday while flying single player A-20 Kuban campaign.  Partway through the fight the technochat disappeared and only reappeared when I began the next mission.  HUD and markers remained visible, so nothing to do with the H or I keys.  If it happens again, I'll record it.

[easterling77]

Yup same for me here.

 

I heared about this problem since a couple of weeks but never experienced them - untill yesterday when I went back to a standart careere.

The last weeks I was in a PWCG careere and the QMB where I never saw this problem but yesterday - the first mission in a standard careere and it happened.

 

Can't say a thing about MP because I'm mostly SP.

Joystick reset does not work anymore since last update (which should resolve the crashes, when the reset is done).

I need to reset the Sidewinder FFB2 at least once at the beginning of a mission. For me it is unplayable now until a hotfix ((

Otherwise we have CrashToDesktop with FFB.

[Quax]

I did have the CTD as well every 4th time (estimated average), but it is still better, than to restart every time !!

Whenever the FFB doesnt work, it is not possible to fly:   either it gives max shaking or max strength on both axis, or on one axis and the other one has no force etc.

The change was no improvement, it made things worse. 

 

Could a hotkey for "FFB Reset" be a solution ? 

It wouldn´t crash anymore, when entering the settings, but it would still be possible to deliberately reset the FFB ?

Brief description: Possible incorrect labeling of Ju 88 A-4 dive brake switch

 

Detailed description, conditions: The labeling of the Ju 88 A-4's dive brake switch seems to be incorrect. Currently only the "extended" position of the switch is labeled, and it reads "Ein" ("In") instead of "Aus" ("Out"), probably because "Ein" has been interpreted as "On".

Here once again, sorry for second post but I think here is the right place:

 

Autopilot on/off is ok

Push pitch on/off the button for roll (quer) move should be Höhe (high).

Push roll on/off should move quer not high.

Push yaw makes the Kurs button switch. That’s ok because I can set the course. Just Yaw sounds a bit confusing ?

If I drop all three bombs with my bomb sight in the bomb sigh one bomb remaining (incorrect). On the Bomb panel in cockpit all bombs left correctly.

Hotkey is what I was thinking. 

I am so glad its not just me. I guess there is hope this will be fixed. Mine worked ok up to June 15. I would get the stiff or shaking stick, usually the first mission of the play session and usually the shakes. I just went to the input menu and disabled and re-enabled the FF and problem solved. I never had the CTD either. I dont play MP though, almost always just messing around with quick missions. 

After June 15th I always get the stiff, not the shake. Always. When I go into the menu the option is not even there to enable or re-enable. From the main menu its there but forces a restart which does nothing. 

They should put it back the way it was and add a hotkey to reset telemetry or whatever like you said, problem solved. 

At least I have hope now, every stick feels like garbage compared to the MSFF2 on 30%. I cant just switch. 

I think the USB2 powered hub may have worked, I tried every USB hub on my PC and got one that works so a $20 fix, im happy.

Brief description: Wonky  Propeller pitch controls
Detailed description, conditions:   Propeller pitch controls behaving strangely. 

Default RightShift+P combo doesnt work at all. Keypress event registered by the game, can reassign same combo  to any other control and it works, but not for prop pitch.

When assigned a new key binding it does toggle, but with a caveat.
Prop pitch +/- works perfectly on Emil and all the older 190's where its present. On "newer 109's"  it works only sporadically  - sometimes yes, sometimes doesnt, sometimes after some time it starts to work, i have suspicion that accelerating  ingame time might be involved.
