B-26 Instruments not working
« on: August 09, 2013, 02:06:18 PM »
 :airplane: The instruments in the B-26 are not working correctly! For what ever reason, the needles on the instruments are off set, most of which are below the bottom of the Instrument panel.

Thatīs true. I noticed the same when I upped a set.
While I was climbing everything was alright so far, then I went alt tab to desktop to check something and when I put AH back up I saw this.......

I recorded film of this Saturday night too, but mine was boogered at takeoff and throughout the whole flight.  Looks the same as yours Blade.  The needles do move, just not in the right place.

Flying my B-26, I noticed that , with the exception of the alt, mph, climb, man, oil pressure, temp and compass gauges, the other gauges have needles that are in their proper place. The needles of the aforementioned are laying all over the place.I had to resort to S.O.P. flying, which is okay for WW I type planes, but it's terrible for High alt bombing. Has anyone one else noticed ? :headscratch:

Lousy title for a Bug Report, but that's just my opinion.
On topic, from one of the many B-26 gauges threads: http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,352312.0.html

We have it logged, and know what the problem is.  Thanks.

FYI - still doing it as of today Aug 17.  Altimeter and directional gyro needles are going outside of their dials. Also airspeed indicator and several others . . . .

Last patch was August 7Th. I assume it's rather difficult to fix a bug without a patch but then again maybe that's just the wacky way I cogitate.

Isn't going to happen until there is a patch, fellas.  ...No, I don't know when.  ;)

Gosh darn it SuperFly, what are you doing here posting when you should be working 24/7 to fix the game. No food breaks, naps, or trips to the john for anyone at HTC until the game is 100% perfect!!!


Someone has to say it................ Two weeks     :lol

I for one find this to be a minor annoyance only. It doesn't prevent me from flying the B26 effectively. You can still decipher your altitude by looking at the altimeter needles angles (you can also do a quick jump to the f6), and for speed & climb you have the E6B.

A quick jump to the F6 cancels your auto climb....just saying.

I am pretty much aware of it :)

But thats only for about a second, so it's not really a loss of climb rate. And it's not that you have to do it constantly.
