glen.a.williamson Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Within the last week or so, about the same time as DCS 2.5.5.41962 Open Beta was introduced, I've started to see something really weird happening regarding my nozzle settings. I will be all set up for a VSTOL landing, lined up with the centerline, approaching nice and slow (maybe 45 knots, or so) at about 150 feet altitude, about a mile out from the deck with my nozzles set at about 78 degrees, or so .... when all of a sudden sometimes my nozzle angle will spontaneously jump to 49 degrees. This usually messes up my landing entirely ... or at least makes my landing rather rushed and ugly. Has anyone else experienced such unexpected changes in nozzle angle? Anyone have any suggestions as to what might be causing this ... or how I might eliminate the spontaneous changes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard_03 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Have you checked your bindings/ran a repair? DCS F/A-18C :sorcerer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glen.a.williamson Posted January 22, 2020 Author Share Posted January 22, 2020 Binding should be fine ... I looked at them and they appear as they were a few weeks ago ... when everything was running well. I did not do a repair ... but, did reinstall the Harrier Module.

Wizard_03 Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Is your STO Stop staying fully aft? It's interesting that it goes to a specific Nozzle position, I've never encountered an issue like that. DCS F/A-18C :sorcerer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars Exulte Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 If it's on axis it's probably jitter. Cycle the axis a few times before flying to rub off any dust or corrosion on the contacts (usually on cheaper devices). Otherwise insure there are no overlapping bindings. A final possibility if you're using a button is ''ghost presses'' usually caused by power fluctuations. Make sure your device is not starved or receiving intermittent power variances.

glen.a.williamson Posted January 22, 2020 Author Share Posted January 22, 2020 I have now also done a cleanup, followed by a repair; but, the problem persists. My STOL stop is fully aft, so I do not believe that is part of the problem. I tried shifting my X--52 Stick and Throttle to other USB ports .... but that seems to have had no effect ... and I did not see any problem with any other buttons, switches, or functions ... except for this weird thing going on with my nozzles. I have also found that I am seeing this spontaneous shift in nozzle position at the other end of thing .... I can be zooming along at 0 degrees, and all of a sudden the nozzles inexplicably shift back to 50 degrees. Strange how it always seems to be defaulting back to the same value .... about 50 degrees.

Mars Exulte Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 You have clearly angered the technogods. You must have not said the correct prayers over your device. I recommend sacrificing two virgins and reciting the fourth and sixth passages of Mechaniks 10-15 times.

glen.a.williamson Posted January 22, 2020 Author Share Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) Additional Testing I flew the exact same mission using the exact same HOTAS set-up in both the Stable version and the Open Beta version of DCS World 2.5. I saw the spontaneous nozzle angle fluctuation problem in the OB version, but not while flying in the Stable version, I alternated back and forth between the two DCS versions, and, replicated what I was seeing three separate times in each environment. Each time I flew in the OB version, my nozzle angle spontaneously changed several times as I approached the Carrier. I believe this may be a bug related to the AN-8B in the Open Beta version of the program. The mission I flew and copies of example tracks of what I was seeing are attached below.Stable Version - NO Nozzle fluctuation during Landing .trkOB Version - Twice the Nozzle Position Spontaneously Changed During Landing .trkAV-8B NA Evening Landing on the Tarawa 1.miz Edited January 22, 2020 by glen.a.williamson Change one of the attachments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a common issue. New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog.
