I’ve literally, cited another in this post. are you posting from under a bridge?
this is the reddit thread I was talking about, I think it’s same problem different outcome.

the greater point being, everyone is here to learn or contribute…what are you doing now?

Something off Reddit??

I’ve done quite a bit in my time since 2004 and still continue to. But that has nothing to do with this. But you did ask.
Regardless, you have an issue which is unique to you on these forums, with, what began with a modded install. See below.
I’m not making this stuff up, it’s your own words:
has stopped working in every aircraft. reinstalling now, I guess I ****ed something up!
I can hear it clicking but it doesn’t work at all.tried the f-22 cockpit i assembled from the files, the eurofighter i assembled from the files
i uninstalled, and am reinstalling now on this laptop, I have a feeling I did something bad to a file here or there or was just sloppy about it.
I did that dance, I thought it was something i was doing so i went through the checklist in the f-16 canopy, seat, air source, normal, normal, power on, throttle idle, after stroking it through.
SHIFT+J isn’t even working.
I’m glad I didn’t do this on my home system
because I know, I ****ed something up.
I most likely boned something over. EVERY OTHER SWITCH WORKED
ripped the f-22 folder out of ckptart, booted to the ramp in the vanilla 3dpit for any jet, JSF did not work, just the same. All other jets work (tested f-16 I52 and f-16 cm40 and f-16 cIblk40) used the methods to create 3dpits, using the ckptdata fldr renames just now as tests on the EF and the F22, both had same problem, everything works in the pit but the JSF.
I can just runways start it but figured you’d want to know anyways. I , out of frustration pushed SHIFT+J about 1000 times, I left it on, waited and went for a walk, came back, it was still not working, waited, pushed it like thirty times frustrated and in there once, it did click on, that’s why I’m writing this.
what the heck is going on?
No.
that’s not what happened. Probably, 3 weeks ago I fooled with the ckptart folder. yesterday, i went to fly a blk40 korea and the jsf wouldn’t go, rebooted, still no joy. reinstall fixed everything but the odd jet
But hey, if you didn’t do anything wrong then I guess it’s a bug!!! :rolleyes:

Minimum engine spin procedure in BMS F-16 is a 3-point list:
1. Electric power to MAIN (full forward)
2. Fuel source NORM
3. JFS START2 (right click)If you don’t get RPM within a minute there is a limited troubleshooting list:
Throttle not in off. Notify if you are using idle-cutoff axis range or standard. Any notable modification to files. Accidental activation of controls like red fuel cutoff switch.

I can see that you’re well versed in internet shitlording, so I’ll keep it simple. I never did anything to the block 40, which stopped working, which led me to inspect everything else. I find your selectively chornology of these events, or perhaps, the artlessness with which you’ve reconstructed my information to support your hostility.
I mentioned 3 changes in behavior, you’re good with a highlighter knock yourself out.
I resolved it, which you read, you’ve hastily tried to bait, unfortunately for you.
-
Same problem here, i modified nothing. When i test the switch in configuration, it’s ok. But when i want to do a ramp start, the Jetstart switch does nothing. Not with the hardware switch, not with the keyboard and not with the mouse. I will check if there is a conflict inside the keyfile, but i am worried about this. My main question : why is it working inside BMS/ config setup and not when i want to do a ramp start.
-
Remember that you have one only possible shot with the JFS … once activated once, it is empty and won’t works again!

I suggest you change your attitude.
Stay open minded and decrease the level of arrogance please -
thx, i will try this evening again. i pushed the switch indeed many times, maybe i missed the start….
-
Another thing to consider is the throttle being ‘responded to’. I find that as soon as I enter the 3D world, the throttle does not work until I move it through a large portion of the range. Whenever I ramp start, the VERY FIRST thing I do, before I touch any switches, is move the throttle from idle to 103% and back to idle. Once you see the virtual throttle move with the physical throttle, you’re good.
It may be that if you don’t do this, the 3D pit throttle is >idle.
-
thx, i will do some tests this evening. What i did see is that the switch isn’t moving at all in 3d cockpit, while the keyfile is ok because the configuration settings inside BMS works. What you write about the throttle is the same what i saw… so work and test for me to do…
Extra info, i have a full cockpit interfaced with XKEYS (Switches) / AIC (Indicators) / Pegasus hardware and software (EHSI, DED and PFLD) and PHCC (instruments)
-
same config here JJO, xkeys as well, aic and martin’s stuff
all ok -
How about this attitude? The man contributed nothing but criticism.
That’s all, I’m not here to fight- in other news , I found during the reinstall, U3 changed something about the UHF backup, I referenced the other bugs here which were minor, like the resolution being capped to 1920 etc etc.
Something’s rotten, that’s three people with same problem, at least.
The way I fixed this, was by installing fresh, and runway starting a few times and auto saving. That seemed to fix it, when it was broken- waiting for audible ground sounds seemed to help. Something is happening because I’m using only keyboard, has nothing good to do with an analog throw . I may not have mentioned this but I didn’t make changes and then have problems, problems started after many hours of no problems. Than the JSF went screwy.
The other thing/ look I’m not religious and the evidence that this is an Orthodox Church is building, that’s all I’ll say. I’d really like to be a part of this community and hive mind but traditions are for stupid people, scientifically speaking. I hold nothing sacred .

Hu? I’m running BMS on a 4K resolution since 4.33, still doing that with U3 without problem?

and I run at 8000x1440 - across 3x27" screens - no problem

No he tried to help pinpointing the obvious, you fight it
That’s all, I’m not here to fight-
Yet that’s what you do. And even more when answering a mod that asks you to cool off.
Something’s rotten,that’s three people with same problem, at least
Rotten? Have you seen my remark about arrogance above, that’s my last warning before you taking a holiday sir
Some ppl worked for free so that you can call it rotten?3 ppl, even if this is right is nothing compared to the hundreths who can’t replicate your issue
The way I fixed this, was by installing fresh
proof AGAIN, that the issue is on your side
It’s been notified to you before, you refuse to listen -
Thanks for your help. I realy need to start learning the manual of the F16…
JSF switch works perfect. What did i do on your advise.
1. i activated the cutoff/Idle on the throttle
2. throttle calibration
3. Power to forward position
4. Fuel to norm
5. Hold the jsf several seconds until the green indicator lightens up.
6. After 20 pct , move the throttle to idleup to the next cable to make ( gear panel)

I get the feeling, English is a learned art here. That’s the only way I can account for the nerves being so hyper sensitive. You’re getting lost in translation. "Something rotten " is a well known English phrase, when you can google “BMS JSF” and you get the same problem in a Reddit thread.
If you feel it necessary to censor this narrative, that’s on your head. No one can explain why it stopped working, and was still on op on reinstall until after a few runway starts. If you feel like that is unimportant, act accordingly.
Cloud 9 as you say, didn’t help me pinpoint anything, he told me in lesser words, I altered files and shouldn’t have even posted, or how would you interpret his responses?
Such as : “this is devs problem?”No skin off my back.

I’m fairlycertain the fault is now sorted. Shall we close and move on?

i did mention the discrepancy between UHF backups in u1 to u3(U3 being non functional with AI and TOWER ATC), the resolution problems now upon reinstall, and the fact that the JSF switch stopped working in all aircraft which remains a mystery, but I always loved a little Roswell.
