Ah, I missed this thread. Duplicating my last report in this format:

 

Brief description: Ar 234 Höhenkorrekturgeber has the wrong scale
Detailed description, conditions: The Höhenkorrekturgeber (Altitude Corrector/target height selector) in the Ar 234 goes, according to technochat, to 10km(!!) in 1km increments, but the instrument itself is labeled as "zielhöhe ü NN - hm" or "Target height over sea level -- hectometers". So each increment on the device should be a 100m adjustment, not 1000m, with a more reasonable maximum of 1000m.

Briefing description: Different convergence settings in career mode

Detailed descriptions: In career mode in the Planning Room, when I click on the symbol for the aircraft setup, I get the correct convergence setting of 400m, but when I click on 'Start Mission' and look for the Aircraft setup, here, I get a convergence setting of 800m for the Bf 109 E7 and 600m for the Bf 110 E2, in every mission. I have to change it back to 400m for each mission I fly.

[ACG_Bob122]

After this update the default convergence is 600m and before it defaulted to the last convergence you used. It wasn't in the patch notes so is it a bug?I doubt many people actually use 600m so it might not be a great change if it was on purpose.

Thanks.

[czech693]

Yep.  BOX appears to default to 600m and FC to 400m.  Changing it in QMG doesn't change it as it still defaults in the aircraft setup menu.

[FodderMonkey]

Since the update, every time I launch the game and start the first mission, it shows my HUD and map.  I keep these turned off, but every time I launch it's like it's forgotten these preferences.   Also, on EVERY mission, it keeps resetting my gun convergence range.  I'm using some mods so it could be those, but I figured I'd ask if anyone else is having the same issue before I start sorting through those.  Thanks!

[FuriousMeow]

Convergence and loadout set in QMB and AQMB on the map screen do not carry over to the loadout screen for your own aircraft. If you set convergence to 100m, it's 600m always on the personal loadout screen.

Seeing same thing with convergence. I think the HUD thing is intentional for some reason with the latest patch, I leave the whole thing hidden so luckily that is saved and I don't have to go through hiding that stuff all the time.

Thx for observation, will be fixed in upcoming patch

[Thales]

Another observation concerning the Höhenkorrekturgeber:

 

Brief description: The labeling of the knobs for adjusting target altitude (ZH) and reference pressure (QFF) is reversed in the Me 410.

 

Detailed description, conditions: On the original instrument the left knob (labeled ZH for Zielhöhe) adjusts the target altitude while the right knob (labeled QFF) adjusts the reference pressure (automated in IL-2). In the Me 410 the left knob is correctly turning when the target altitude is adjusted, yet the labeling of the two knobs is reversed (in contrast to the Ar 234).

[czech693]

This brief llittle download on the Launcher appears to have fixed the convergence issue.

It is not a "Autobahnbrücke" (motorway bridge), but simply a "Autobrücke" (car bridge) or "Straßenbrücke" (street bridge)

The stabilizer/elevator trim of the button/switch trimmed FW 190s and especially the Hs 129 works too directly. You have to press the key for trimming for milliseconds only, if you don't want to jump from nose heavy to tail heavy trim and vice versa. It is hard to believe, that the trim switches were working that directly as this is very user unfriendly.

It would be nice, if the trim was changed, so it works slower than it currently does.

Brief description: Keys o axis assigned to camera zoom doesn't work

Detailed description, conditions: I have assigned one and two set of keys to change the camera zoom.

Nothing works, only the mouse wheel even when it was deleted...

 

Thanks in advance

Best regards and good flights!!!

I put it on the TMWH Throttle thumb HAT switch forward and back. You need to use the keypad + and -. On the TMWH it has to be a HOLD vice a PULSE type button press, just like flaps, triggers, or Mic switches... otherwise it pulses with the press even if you hold the button.

Spoiler

Four out of five positions on that thumb HAT are hold presses, only center TIR is a Pulse. if you are using no keymapping software then dx presses are just physically the same as your press You hold it it's held, press, let go instantaneously and it presses and lets go. This is in the GUI section, SCRIPT is totally different and I don't use it in IL2 because of the antiquated method they use only gets 64 DX commands out. With Sedenion's 2.0 SCRIPT for DCS I get 96 different functions out of just the Throttle and Stick. That's why IL2 needs an update to 120dx buttons.

Hurricane Fuel Qty Indicator

 

New Functionality to select a Fuel tank for reading is neat. However the Hurricane IRL requires 2 steps to read the gauge. The First is to select the tank to read (works ok) Then you should press the centre button to activate the needle to read the contents of the selected tank. At present the needle is always alive.

The label on the switch even says "Push for reading"

 

Sp proceduraly it should work like this.

1. Needle always reads Zero

2. Pilot selects tank to read with rotary switch (needle remains at Zero)

3. Pilot presses centre button ... needle indicates level of selected tank

4.Pilot releases button ... needle returns to Zero

Yes, the team is aware of this. However, this is what they were able to code for it, this time around (the Typhoon's indicator should work the same way).

Since the last update I get wrong key assignements, when starting missions. When starting a mission with the Hs 129 the game gives me the key assignement of the SdKfz 184, when starting with the Bf 110 E2 it is the 'global' key assignement, when starting with the Me 410, it is the FW 190 A5 key assignement. I already had that issue earlier, but only when flying the FW 190 A6. I have to go to the settings and change the key assignement to the one of the aircraft I am flying, in each mission.

Brief description: Ruler tool not available to gunners.
Detailed description, conditions: Gunners can select the ruler tool, but cannot draw on the map with it. The cursor changes shape, but nothing is drawn. Observed in co-op, flying the bf 110E (but presumably this affects other planes). I have not tested in a dogfight server.

 

This would be really nice to have fixed; I'm running a 110 co-op campaign right now and we'd love to have our human gunners able to act as navigators too.

Brief description: bf 110E-2 specifications confusingly talk about a 'rearward' MG-FF
Detailed description, conditions:

 

The text: "Reloading of both MG-FF guns (forward and rearward) must be performed by the rear gunner. The forward firing MGFF must be reloaded at the pilot`s command."

 

I suspect this is a translation error; "rearward" describes something "directed towards the back"; contrast with "rear", "at the back.".

 

Suggested English text: "Reloading of both MG-FF guns (forward and rear) must be performed by the rear gunner. This reloading must be done at the pilot`s command."

 

Alternatively "fore and aft"

In the German translation,it is only 'both MG-FF'. If you want to differentiate, I would suggest 'left and right' instead of forward (front?) and rear'.

Detailed description, conditions: When using the POV switch on my joystick in PAN mode, movement of the switch to 0°, 45° and 315° results in the FIXED SNAP views being applied instead of movement in the desired direction. This switch works correctly in other viewing modes as well as when panning with the external camera.

Hi there

 

In the latest Q&A session there was mentioned the limit of 128 buttons and 8 controllers.

So I read that as: 128 buttons per device should work.

 

As I don't have a 'real' stick with that amount of buttons

but use a 'virtual' one (yJoy) I need someone with more than 63 buttons on a 'real' stick to confirm that issue.

 

For me in 'vJoy' the first 63 buttons work as they should

and were recognized and saved on mapping them ingame as joyXXX_B0 to joyXXX_B62

 

But everything higher than button 63 gave really stange results.

64 -> _b63_povn0

65 -> _pov0

65 -> _pov1

...

72 -> _pov8

 

73 -> _pov0_0

74 -> _pov0_45

...

and ended up with

128 -> _pov6_315

 

So if anyone has a joystick with more than 63 buttons could you please test?

Maybe it's 'vJoy' causing the trouble

Maybe it's the 128 button limit is not fully used

Maybe I've missunderstood the video

Maybe it's a bug...
