I think this happened now also to me last night with latest BMs 4.33 U3 64-bit:
I was in a campaign mission, switching views heavily back and forth (3 cockpit, shift-7 missile, ctrl-8 enemy ac, 0 orbit and maybe some more views … I don’t remember anymore).
Suddenly when I came back into cockpit (key 3) both MFD’s, DED and RWR were black. In the HUD only very few partial lines and numbers in the top were visible.
It looked like a beer coaster was covering the illumination of the HUD.
First I thought, that maybe I had an avionics fault, but the CAUTION light panel didn’t show any error lights.
So I played around with master-modes AA, AG, MRM Override, DF Override and DMS-left/-right/-up/-down on my Warthog-stick and finally I was able to bring back the left MFD.
Even RWR worked inside the left MFD.
I also tried DMS-right and pushed ICP- and OBS-buttons, but no luck. The right MFD and DED stayed black.
With the left MFD I also got back the HUD display, but with an issue:
Maybe my head (Track-IR) was a little bit leaning to the side, when the HUD came back.
If you look closely at this screenshot, you will see, that the HUD display is cut off at the very right side (altitude scale).
This is not the frame of the HUD, but seems like a bug in the graphical display of the HUD.
I also found another interesting “feature”:
When flying back to home base, I tried to activate autopilot.
The left switch (ROLL) was ok, but the right autopilot switch (PITCH) was stuck in the middle position.
I tried up and down several times, but no luck. The aircraft did a very little tremble-shake, when I clicked, but the switch itself didn’t move.
When I finished the flight after landing, I got an empty debriefing screen.
I’m sure, that I was not on a top secret undercover CIA mission, where the debriefing immediately gets classified.
So I assume, that this is part of the bug.
I was looking for errors in log files which maybe might be related to this timestamp and only found these 3 files in USER\logs:
