Medals and Photo Bug.

[Herodotus]

I have been meaning to report these bugs for some time. This is not a complaint.

 

1/ When awarded the DFC or DFM as the British, or any other such medal in Career Mode, and then receive another, you receive a bar to that medal, as that is how it is done.

However, when awarded a second bar to that medal, this does not appear on the image of the medal, nor in its description below it. Receive another bar, and the medal still shows, and is described as having one bar.

 

2/ The other issue, which is new, is that the photo of your girl, is no longer pinned on the cockpit panel even if selected, which it is by default. I have tried removing it then returning in  the Plane Setup, but no joy.

 

Thanks guys. Great simulator.

Are you running any mods? Because I don't see any issues with the cfg files for the awards.

[Herodotus]

No, no mods at all. I just flew a German career mission today and was awarded my second Iron Cross 1st Class, and again the awards showed only one, awarded for that mission. I had two, though. Wound Stripes do show, but not the bars to British medals nor German.

 

P.S. The photo seems to come and go, depending on what aircraft. Seems the Tempest V has none.

[LukeFF]

There's no issue with the cockpit photos that our team has found. Still looking into the awards thing as well, but nothing has come up.

[Herodotus]

I found, as I corrected myself above, that the photo "issue" tricked me, as the Tempest V I was flying and the LA-5N have no cockpit photos - not sure if they are supposed to or not.
Medal situation is across the board, regarding country and era. I don't know if anyone else has noticed, as I fly predominantly in Career mode.

[LukeFF]

Our QA team has checked all these issues and cannot find any problems.

[Herodotus]

Hmmm. I just thought it odd that you only receive a maximum of one bar to say the DFC, and then cannot receive anymore, even if decorated two or three more times. In fact, I had a DFC with bar, received another DFC, and instead of two bars it went back to having none, just the medal, no bars when in fact I should have had a DFC with three bars. Happens with all nations.
