Gauge Issues #3800

[madrebel]

speedometer on the spit9 pegs at 360mph and does not go over this. tested 3 times from about 4km alt in a vertical dive.

ill test some other planes near the end of the time alloted tonight to se if any others are messed up.

The blen elevation guage does not move at all.

[Sabot1]

I found a couple problems with the display of the instruments in the FW190.

1. The altitude dial does not move/rotate to show changing altitudes. Only the small 1k dial is moving.

2. The ammo meters do not change from thier original "full" indication.

3. The compass keeps pointing South, it will momentarily change to the correct orientation, but then returns to a south indication.

The altimeter on the Hurricane's and Spitfire's is bugged. The 100ft needle will only go to 1000ft and then stop and wont move again until you are under 1000ft.

I did not test any other aircraft besides the Hurricanes and Spitfires..

(I tried looking 10+ pages into the bug forum and did not see this reported previously. I apologize if it has..)

Good catch. We might need an audit on these. Will hold ticket for more testing.

Does it work in 1.30?

[Linnon]

Yes in 1.30 its been working fine for me (refering to elevation guage in position one.)

In 1.31.26 it is stuck at 3000ft if i recall. I'll recheck that.

[Linnon]

Retested in 1.31.26 (dont have newest yet)

Brit Blen I and Blen IV as well as French Blen IV are all effected.

Its actually the altitude guage (both pos1 and pos2 guages effected)

It starts out normal and then stops at 1000ft. If you drop below 1000ft it begins moving again. Never registers anything above 1000ft.

Confirmed in He 111 and BF 110 F-B also. 10/100's Needle does not move above 1k. Numerical readout indicates the thousands fine seems to be.

Posted the same issue with the hurricanes and spitfires in another thread.. The 100ft needle stops at 1000ft on the altimeter.. It will move again when you go below 1000ft to the proper altitudes..

Ticketed #3800

[GOPHUR]

I need to have a test done to see if this is an overall instrument issue or something specific.

I got a report of a non working altimeter in a blen as well.

[dkamerad]

Took up a G6 and an F1, E1, E4, and Fw190.

The altimeter works up to 1k, then the needle stops moving. The km gauge stills works, rotates past 1 to 2, 3 etc.

The heading gauge(both the kind in the 190 and horizontal one the 109s have) doesn't work when flying WEST. It kicks in at 180 and works as courses go easterly until you come due south, at which point they stop working again.

Ammo counters and all other gauges seem to be working correctly.

The Spitfire IXc also has the heading problems mentioned above, it would seem to be global.

[dkamerad]

Also should be noted that the heading gauge reports wrong even when flying east.

It reports N as 180, E as 270, and S as 0.
