Techo chat disapears during mission

[RedeyeStorm]

Hi all,

 

As the title says. During a mission the techno chat disapears.  I checked that I did not accidently turned of the HUD all together. Toggling that did not bring it back. I have not been able to link to an event during the mission. Suddenly I notice it is not there anymore allthough I have the impression it is linked to reaching the target waypoint. But I have not seen anyone reporting this so mayby it is something on my end. I am using MODS but none that involve the HUD elemenents in anyway.

I had that happening in multiplayer a couple of times, technochat would not appear for a while and then yes...

[I./JG52_Woutwocampe]

Yep, happened to me too. And its been happening for a couple of weeks, its not caused by the last update. Out of nowhere, late in a mission, technochat on the right vanishes so you cannot see throttle, rpm, rads settings etc etc. 

[VBF-12_Stick-95]

Same here.

 

[RedeyeStorm]

Well thanks guys. Saves me a bundle of time not having to go look for a problem on my end.

[Bando]

In campaign mode it also happens every now and then. Next flight it's there again. I could not find the cause.

[KevPBur]

This has been reported in the bugs forum as it started happening a couple of releases ago.

 

I spent a bit of time looking into it but haven't been able to find a reason. It appears to happen more often in my 190 career than others I have on the go currently but that could be related to mission types, map, many things or the plane type!

 

 

I haven't seen anything from the devs accepting that it is an issue.

 

I'm currently taking it as an opportunity to better rely on the plane gauges!

[Knarley-Bob]

Noticed it in "Careers" also......

[lobsterminator]

It's been happening to me on single player career lately also.

[JG27*PapaFly]

Same here.

On the upside, I had a few occasions when I managed to make it reappear by toggling the HUD off and back on again.

Might be worth a try the next time it happens.

[Knarley-Bob]

Is that like reaching under the dash and jiggling some wires???

[spreckair]

I have been experiencing the same problem.  Also, there are times when the technochat is stuck showing that I am using combat power when I am not.

[Vortice]

Probably due to poor phone signal strength in that part of the map. Try rebooting your Garmin and cleaning the cup holders.

Having same problem as well. Tried toggling the HUD and pressing i for the compass and G meter. It sometimes works but very inconsistent

Same here.  Occurs randomly, sometimes toggling the Hud off/on fixes it, sometimes not.

A bit off topic...
Trust me, turning off techno chat and compass/G-force meter GUI will make this game 10x more fun.

[JG27*PapaFly]

So far, my squaddies and I have only experienced the issue while flying online. We noticed that when it happens, it does to all of us at the same time. Looks like the server overwrites this realism setting and hands it down to the clients during the mission, just to revert later on.

One man's ceiling, is another man's floor

 

But....  it's still buggered.

[69th_Panp]

Same here comes and goes at will 

 

[JonRedcorn]

Had it happen last night was wondering what the hell was going on lol.

[I./JG52_Woutwocampe]

Seriously, this bug is still not fixed after 2 updates since reported? It just happened to me.

 

I mean, really?

[Aleksander55]

I also have this bug. Today testing the update that fixed the single player pilot career it happened again. Pressing 'I' and 'H' repeatedly to try to make it reapear didn't work.

[354thFG_Panda_]

It's still happening after these updates and hot fixes! Please Devs please look into it ?

[Monksilver]

I've got this too, just disappears mid-mission on SP career, only started after the 410 update. I'm in the 190 A3 at the moment and I find that when I lose technochat I also lose the wing guns which I control with their own button and worked earlier in the mission - I've not used them enough to run out of ammo. Next mission all is good again and I might go a few missions before it happens again.

[I./JG52_Woutwocampe]

This bug is still not fixed after BON update.

[RossMarBow]

Press H and move throttle until it comes back

[FL_Valkyrie]

Still happens to me every 2nd or 3rd Mission right now in All SP Careers

[Lomaster]

It is December 2023. Some bugs take time to fix i guess

[MrsVonSturm]

Almost two years after the first post, the technochat keeps going away mid-flight

[I./JG52_Woutwocampe]

Yep still happens to me. 

[Aleksander55]

I've narrowed down the 2 possible times this happens. I'm not technically versed so take this as a guesstimation:

 

When you're not the flight lead this will happen if the AI flight lead gets shot down. This is the easiest to verify and happens all the time. Possibly could also happen if the AI flight lead gets damaged/wounded or spends all his ammo and manages to get back to base, land and despawn (not as sure about this one).

 

If YOU are the flight lead this can still happen if a high ranking pilot gets shot down, probably the highest ranking (rank + kills?) below you in your flight.

It also happen in multiplayer dogfight type mission, no flight lead there...

Happens frequently on Combat Box @LukeFF

Any particular conditions under which this happens?

[354thFG_Leifr]

Presumably when the server is being stressed particularly hard. It happens the most often during full-server primetimes (EU evening, typically) with 84/84 (or 72/72 for Apollo).

In single player if it's possible, please ask them to verify if there's any merit to my guesstimations:

In MP it may be happening if an 'important' airplane or target is getting detroyed. Some 'important' unit upon which a lot of the mission structure is dependent upon. Like in SP I notice that the player's presence/distance is what determines if enemy or friendly flights and ground targets will spawn/despawn, even when we are not flight lead.

Just randomly and when it does, it happens for all players not just individual clients.

[LukeFF]

Guys, the ongoing problem with this bug is the team needs a reliable way to reproduce it, as they have been unable to on their end. So, if you find a case where the bug always manifests itself, please post the sequence of events here. Thanks 🙂

Here's one good example of it happening when I'm the flight leader. I always take only one wingman in intercept bombers or attackers as it means we'll only face 2 escort fighters. This means it's easy to see it could only have happened with his demise. In this particular case his airplane was destroyed but he managed to jump out.

TechnoChat-Gone-After-SingleWingman-Shotdown-2-20min.rar

 

 

As always the rar file contains the folder with the _gen.mission file amongst others. Please warn me if you can't access the google drive.

 

The techno-chat probably disappeared the moment he collided with the bomber and his plane was 'declared' as destroyed or just as he jumped out. I only perceived it was gone about 1 minute later, but it should be easy to see the moment the game engine decides to deactivate the techno chat for the player. The moment he collides is around the 2:30 minute.

 

Unfortunately it's not always that this will happen, as you said, it's not repeatable, if I repeat the mission and he gets shot down again the TC might not disappear.

 

edit: This is in the pilot career. Soviet, Stalingrad, I-16.
