DimSim Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 If you turn the light dial to minimum (counter clockwise to limit), the dial / knob can get stuck. This seems most pronounced with the 'Casution/Advisory Lights Rheostat' but appears to affect all or most of the console light dials. Expected Behavior: Turn dial to minimum. Later instantly and freely move dial between minimum and maximum limits. Current Behavior: Turn dial to minimum. Later, dial appears stuck. Won't move. However, if you keep trying in the correct direction, it will eventually move. It appears the dial goes beyond zero into negatives without clipping, so the more you turn the dial past minimum, the more you must turn the dial back to reach minimum and beyond. The visible dial does limit, but the internal value appears not to. Repro Steps 1) Grab console light dial 'Casution/Advisory Lights Rheostat' with mouse and move to minimum. Note the direction you are moving the mouse to move the dial counter clockwise toward minimum. 2) Repeat (1), as if to move further. (You will not see the dial move.) 3) Grab again and try to move back toward maximum. Observe the dial is stuck at the minimum value. 4) Grab again and keep trying to move toward maximum. Observe the dial will eventually 'unstick' and move past minimum. The amount you have to move appears to relate to how far you went with (2).

Can you confirm that this behaviour is still present for you with the latest OB patch 23/09/2020 and a clean install of DCS? Know and use all the capabilities in your airplane. If you don't, sooner or later, some guy who does use them all will kick your ass. — Dave 'Preacher' Pace, USN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm this issue is still present in the latest OB version. It is 100% reproducible and easy to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
