Gunsight Disappearing Workaround


Recommended Posts

For everyone who is suffering from the gunsight disappearing bug in both the OB and Stable Release, the workaround is to use the last 2.5.4 build of the Stable Release.

Works fine in that.

Bug is not fixed. Took the Spitfire out today, gunsight puked 10 seconds after takeoff. Wiggled the switch, nothing.

Nineline thought it could be linked to random system failures. I have that checked. I'll uncheck it and see if that changes anything.

Well, I have spent quite a few hours in the Spit since the update flying IA missions, the 2 campaigns, training missions etc. and I have had no problems with the gunsight.

Prior to yesterday, the issue would show itself very regularly, to the extent that I couldn’t use the Spit in 2.5.5.

I mentioned I did NOT have random failures set in as post #5 in the bug thread 5 weeks ago... I also hinted at it having something to do with repair.

 

 

Just happened to me as well. About 5 min after takeoff (Caucasus, Hoggit map).

 

Interestingly it came back after doing repair. I just checked that "random failures" wasn't checked and came here to post: "gun sight disappearing".

 

 

I wonder if they found it or just disabled Gun Sight failure (fine with that as long as it gets really fixed eventually).

I am experiencing this problem. The gunsight will turn off for no apparent reason. At first I though it was damage but it just happened when I hadn’t been hit or anything. Is this still a bug?

I think it's still a bug unfortunately, it just happened to me. I just flew two missions a few minutes ago and my gunsight disappeared in both, just after a couple minutes. Random failures are on, I'll go back and try with failures set to off just to make sure .

The common consensus in other threads is that the bug was fixed a couple of updates ago.

Apparently not

 

Because one person says they are experiencing it? We don't know what version that person is running.

AFAIK, the bug is closed.

Two people have said they are experiencing it, actually.

Plus myself. It's not so common as it once was, but on occasion my gunsight will fail, unprovoked.

Latest OB

This bug is still present.

To be picky, one person plus you. The other can’t reproduce any more.

This is becoming pointless, I’m off.
