JHMCS dissappear mid-flight /on the ground
-
No idea if that’s topic-related in any way…
But today I had a similar problem.
Flying online, Balkans campaign, wingman of a two-ship, ramp start, no VR.I could not manage to activate HMCS during ramp, so I flew the mission without it.
I use an X-55 Rhino and have the HMCS brightness assigned to a rotary knob.
But it’s not the axis that didn’t work… it was the HMCS ON/OFF function that was gone.
After the mission, I checked the mapping in the AL… and the lines for HMCS ON and OFF were completely gone.
Disappeared out of the list.
Ceased to be.
No filter or similar was in use.
AL read only the two lines for increase and decrease, but my keys for the ON/OFF switch did not find a target anymore.Went ingame, picked my callsign-keyfile in setup, saved and went outside to the AL again - there the lines were back again.
I slowly get the idea that the AL keyfile management has the tendency to sometimes forget keys. I’m feeling a little bit spooky at the moment.

@Yeti-UK I’m going to try a few things to see if I can narrow down the cause. Thanks for the info.
-
@airtex2019 it appears not. I am pretty sure I have tried that multiple times, but will give it another try and report back.
-
@Amadeus75 I don’t think it is. My binds have been unaffected by any of this. They work fine at ramp start (specifically with JHMCS) every time.
It’s more that the JHMCS system itself just flakes out.

This looks like stencil buffer being foobared, could be related to mirror code.
Can you try this, in your config file, look for the
set g_sNonCompatibleChanges
and change it to:set g_sNonCompatibleChanges "all-NC_CHANGE_REARVIEW_MIRRORS"
Does it fix the problem?

@Seifer thanks for the suggestion, I will give it a try as soon as possible, and report back.
-
@Seifer unfortunately that didn’t do the trick.
But I did test the external view just after having calibrated JHMCS and sure enough, back in the pit, it was dead.
-
@Yeti-UK this appears to be the problem (or part of it).
Not sure this should be marked resolved just yet.

@S3NTRY thanks for testing, Ill try to reproduce the problem here.

@Seifer thanks for your help. Much appreciated.
