BETA PATCH v1.06.17582 + Mini FIX--Bug thread

[SlipBall]

An interesting thing happens while flying through medium cloud cover in the BF-109 E3. Flying straight and level, same throttle position, same engine sound tone, speed indicator drops to zero.

Nice effect of the pitot tube freezing over perhaps?

I very much doubt its a bug.

Thats what I was thinking! If so, brilliant!

An easy way to see if it is a bug is to fly through the cloud with pitot heating on

I've had sound issues like these since a couple patches ago and i can confirm it happens. I mostly get it on twins (eg, Blenheim, Ju8, there is no sound until i increase RPMs a little bit more.

About the throttle though, i don't see anything bugged. I just flew the stock cross country mission to test it.

The throttle moves correctly all across the range.

The mixture and prop pitch are the ones that have only two positions but that is historically correct. The Blenheim had two-position props (like the Spit 1 and the DH Hurricane we have in the sim), so it only has fine and coarse settings. It also had only two effective mixture settings, auto-rich and auto-lean, even though the lever moved all across the range the lower 50% was auto-rich and the upper 50% of the lever's travel was auto-lean.

To sum up, it was wrong before the patch, it is corrected now. Cheers

Inaccurate and faulty instrument readings like these were there in previous versions too. It's not a bug, it simulates icing of the pitot tube.

Turn on your pitot heater and you'll see it indicating correctly again

Correct, though why your cockpit glass would ice up at 500m in British summer is something for another thread.

Nice one mate, thanks for the info, and you made me spot i put throttle instead of mixture, but since its a correction hey ho! Still labeled the wrong way round though, least i got something right lol

Hi buddy, hav you tried to increase the ingame volume slider. Lot of chaps in my squad were reporting missing sounds, untilthey cranked the slider up. There is a point, above which you recover sounds, and below which, you lose some.

You cant try in the field, if you can hear the magnetos click, the volume slide is above the critical point.

Hope it works.
