Need Test - Gauges are fubar #3800

[mpathy42]

1. Spawn any plane, take off and start climbing. At 1000 m your altimeter stops responding.

2. Keep climbing for a few seconds and then start diving. Once you hit 1000 m your altimeter starts responding again and you can see your altitude decreasing.

Seen both offline and online and in Hurricane Mk IIb, 109E-1, JU52 and 109F-4.

Noticed this today while dog fighting, the Km dial moves, but the M hand does not. Not sure what happened... recreated it about three times.

The artificial horizon is reversed for pitch changes, the horizontal bar should go down when the plane pitches up. Also the up pointer is pointing 90deg left not straight up.

tested on bf109e1 only

Yes on my F4 the needle is moving only below 1k.

Edit: Just tested it on all axis fighters, the dial stops moving when above 1k.

Tested in 109F4 and 110C4.

Headings 180 to 359 the compass is showing 180 all the time. In ranges 0 to 179 the compass is moving, but it is reversed - when going S the compass shows N, when heading E, the compass shows W.

Happens on all allied planes as well.. Been reported a few times now for several beta releases. Not sure if there is a ticket on it yet or not.

[hinterhalt]

I never realized how much you use your altimeter... I felt so disoriented in steep dives and climbs.

Known issue on many aircraft in beta, being worked on.

had another thread for this issue but seems to be gone. Ticket #3800

Still an issue in 131.30 on 11/18/10

Good reporting. Please update the Focus test thread for aircraft/flying with any further reports.

Thanks

This should be fixed. Need all gauges tested 1.31.0.32.

This was caused by trying to limit gauges so they would not go past the "post" or highest value. I believe this change has been backed out.

[adoniram]

Have been unable to spawn in any planes in 1.31.0.32 as I CTD when I try to do it.

Rft 1.31.0.32

[GOPHUR]

Seriously. Test this.

[rote7]

Worked ok for me in 1.31.0.34, Altimeter went over 1000m and the compass was fine.

[Linnon]

Tested in 1.31.34 It was resolved for all the planes that I tested (c47, Blen IV, Havoc, Spit IXc)

[GOPHUR]

These should all be fixed but given the breadth of the problem I'd like more testing.

[GOPHUR]

Just took a look at several of these. Looks good.
