Hi Guys,

 

I'm not certain if it's a bug, but switching between the two machineguns in the Ju-88 dorsal gunners position takes quiet a while. Not certain if this is realistic.

Brief description: Special "NOICON" name is visible in radio chat

 

Detailed description, conditions:

 

The special "NOICON" name can now be used to hide blue/red icon labels - but if you add this to an item entity with radio comms support - they will appear as "NOICON" in the chat. I think it's logical to filter out this special name and treat them as having no name at all.

Brief description: Bombsight GUI altimeter doesn´t toggle
Detailed description, conditions: for all bomber planes with the overlay GUI of the bombsight, the altimeter in that gui does not toggle between airfield hight and standard athmosphere.. compared to the 2 cockpit altimeter values (which are alt+A toggled) it shows a 3rd value with minor deviations from the Cockpit ISA value (I think that may be target corrected(?), as the altitude shown works in SP but makes no sense in MP and depending on map barometric conditions can have from 10m to 1000m (!)  deviation to the correct one (base value seems based on standard athmosphere value + unknown correction.

 

Example of different standard athmosphere settings on the ground: 175m in cockpit, 160m in GUI.. toggle alt+A does not affect the GUI reading in any way.

not really a bug..

that happens when you move the throttle during the start up process and you can easily rectify it by selecting each engine singlehandedly, putting it to 0% or 100% or any other value and then the other engine to same, then select both and they´re together again.

Detailed description, conditions:

 

Using the mouse wheel to zoom in-game map will not zoom the map correctly to current cursor position when a non-standard resolution is used (for example the 2560×1440 has issues, while 1920x1080 works fine).

Bug: the "sticky" reargunner bug returned in extended form with 2.002

 

Details: when in manual reargun control for some top gunners, the gun/aiming reticule sticks again to the lowest elevation... moving the mouse up, only moves the camera. easy to reproduce.

Affects: Stuka Reargunner, He111 top gunner, all upper Pe2 gunners

Detailed description, conditions: At start all is fine with the Motorpitch (on fullreal Server as Reported the Oilcooler are unsync). After some flighttime by a pitch change, they are a bit unsync 2-5%.

 

Yesterday on a Multiplayer Server with a Friend. We startet the Engines on the BF110, rollt to the Startpoint and wait some time. After we pitch up for the start , on booth planes the right motorpitch jumps directly up to 100% and the left motorpitch stays low. After some 360° and full pitch up and down we stop the engines. After a restart it works normal.

Hi Guys,

 

This is my first post on the forum, hopefully submitted in the right place. I'm relatively new to the game, but haver some previous experience in sim's. First of all thanks for fantastic simulator and all the hard work put in.

I'm flying using mid-high spec'd PC with TrackIR and Logitech G940. I've noticed that after each update I am loosing all my axis and button assignmements which is painful to restore. Is there any chance You could create template that would allow to save as a file all the controller settings so they could be easily restored in case of event like above?

 

Regards,

Bug Report

Brief description:

 

When flying the IL-2 and taking damage in the tail area, you often get the message (tech-chat) "Right Elevator Control destroyed" (maybe verb is different - damaged??). Anyway, you have now lost control over BOTH elevators and have no pitch control at all. This normally results in immediate crash and death. On one occasion I was climbing when it happened and managed to make it back to base and land safely using trim controls and ailerons.

 

So either the message should say "Elevator Control destroyed" or i should still have some control using my left elevator, which would be better.

Brief description:  Axis problem with only Pe2 87

 

I have water rads, mixture, prop pitch, and supercharger mapped on saitek throttle boxes for the Pe2.  I noticed when I spawn in and cycle the axis then hit the start up procedure the game limits some my axis by 50%.  (50% on my axis equals 100% in game)  It's done this with mixture and prop pitch several times.  Testing this out with other planes I found that the Pe2 is the only plane that does this.  I also tested this several times and found out if I spawn in and do NOT touch my axis before engine start then I will NOT have this problem.  

Detailed description, conditions:  

 

Even when the game limits my axis to 50% on the Pe2, if I check settings, engine controls, all the axis react normal and use all the 100% deflection.  Then exit settings and the pe2 still limits the axis to 50%  Again this is caused by cycling my axis before start up procedure.  I can repeat the very same procedure with other planes and will NOT have this problem.  It is only with the pe2 87.

Brief description:

Mouse wheel sensibility decreased with update 2.006

Detailed description, conditions:

I use the mouse wheel to control a lot of stuff (zoom, throttle, mixture and radiators). In update 2.005 (and before) the scroll wheel would move the controls by about 5% for each step. After update 2.006, the controls move around 12.5% per step. Zoom still works perfectly (it didn't change) but for other controls it's impossible to make fine adjustments (5% step was not perfect but it did the job). Note that I use other controls besides zoom with a combination of other mouse keys.

Probably not necessary (ask if needed)

Brief Description:

 

Pilot Callsign (display name) and Allied or Axis Faction data does not display in flight tracks.

 

Detailed description, conditions etc:

 

Since publish 2.009 (and all sebsequent patches) Flight tracks do not display player names or display icons (or arrows) in their assigned faction colour.

 

Now both red and blue faction colours display as pale grey upon playback. Pilot names are replaced in most missions by the aircraft type name (even at close range) while in one mission, all players names were replaced by the words "Red Plane" or "Blue Plane".

 

I have run some flight tracks immediately after recording where my own display name is still present, but upon exiting and restarting the sim my display name is replaced by my aircraft type name.

 

In one flight track recorded yesterday (which I played back without exiting the sim) I saw another aircraft with my own display name on it.

 

I have checked flight tracks which were made prior to publish 2.009 and they are now not displaying pilot names or faction colours correctly either. From this, I am tempted to infer that it is a change to the sim, rather than the track files themselves. This gives me hope that the data itself is not lost.

Brief Description:

 

HUD is slow to appear.

 

Detailed description, conditions etc:

 

I believe that in support of VR implementation (publish 2.009), the HUD is now turned off by default at the start of a flight: This is causing problems in normal difficulty simulation where the player spawns in the air in close proximity to the enemy.

 

It can take up to 10 seconds to to render the HUD after toggling it on. This is detrimental where enemy aicraft are assembled above an air-start during an online game or in duels where the game opens with an enemy closing head-on.

[marklar]

Is there a reason why HUD has so big impact on fps in VR mode? When I turn it on, even with only radio subtitles, fps drop from 90 to 70-75.

 

edit: Just checked it in a screen mode and no single frame is dropped when I turn HUD on.
