Random controls problem

I’ve been off work this week, so have had more time to fly than usual. I’ve been having a problem off & on, in that I keep losing some of the controls.

Mainly the rudder, but also the throttle at times. It’s happened both on the ground and in the air. Obviously when it does, I’ve panicked.. made sure the co-pilot hasn’t got hold of the controls.. tried a few things and I’ve got it back…but it’s usually too late and I crash.

I thought it was happening in addon aircraft only (H135 helicopter…Just Flights Piper Arrow.. Hawk..Typhoon) but it’s just done it with the Robin Dr400.

I had the weather toolbar open this last time, and when I closed that I regained control. Same thing earlier today.

I need to do more experimenting but it appears to be a bug.

Update: yep, it’s definitely a bug. Just sat at EGLC in the H135. Rudders work fine. I opened the weather screen.. rudder pedals stop. I close the weather again and the pedals work.

Same thing happens if I open the refuel screen. The VFR map seems ok. Haven’t checked them all.

I kept moving my pedals..left..right..left..right..etc.. opening the wether screen and the rudders stopped working.

It doesn’t happen everytime though.

Anyone else having the same problem?

Steve,

Have a look at the video in this link to see if it might be your problem.

Thanks for that Hal, but it’s not quite the same. I only fly in VR so I don’t undock any of the screens, unless it’s having the same effect. I’ve never had this happen before though.. well before this latest update anyway. At first I thought it was problem with the H135..but it’s happening to different aircraft including the default ones.

just done more testing.. & It’s only doing it in VR. It’s like the rudder pedals / throttles are locking up while the weather loads. Closing the screen fixes it.

I figured it was worth a shot.

Hope you get it sorted out soon.

Cheers Hal.

I’ve just posted it in the bugs section on the main forum too. I’ll do more experiments tomorrow.

update: I’ve found another post on the main forum regarding this. People are saying it affects Navgraph and other maps as well (I also use a map in VR)

But… it only jams the controls while the mouse/cursor is over the map etc!

Yep, I’ve just tested it and it’s correct. If I move the mouse away, the rudders work again ( hence the problem appearing to be random & intermittent)

Also Asobo are aware of it and it’ll be fixed with SU8 :)
