HF beta 1.0.6

[qqwertzde]

HF2 broke the plane for me: my throttle/mix/prop axes can only take full up or full down position. I tried to recalibrate using P3D (no effect) and MVAMS (crashes when I try to calibrate). I had no problems with the airplane before HF2.

Hi team, great job so far with HF2. Couple of bugs noted:

1. The Bearing Pointer for the FMS is broken. Currently, it defaults to the DTK track as is shown by the course bar. Instead the bearing pointer should always point to the current "direct to" track(think like an ADF Needle, which is working correctly)

Noted and fixed. Thanks!

2. When intercepting an FMS track on the autopilot, you would usually select a HDG on the autopilot to intercept, then press NAV to arm it only. The autopilot will stay on HDG mode until getting closer to the track, and then swap to FMS mode to perform the intercept turn. Currently in HF2, the FMS will take over no matter what the HDG is and default to a 45 degree intercept. It is currently impossible to do a HDG intercept while having FMS armed.

First time NAV FMS is selected, it will arm (white FMS legend) while current roll mode remains engaged (HDG, ROLL) as long as current aircraft heading does not intercept the active leg. After a Heading to intercept is selected, if it will produce a capture in any point of the leg, FMS becomes active and will command an intercept at different angles depending of the XTK distance. Normally that would mean a 45 degrees capture, but it might be lower or greater (up to 90 degrees).
When selecting DIR TO a wpt, if aircraft is in HDG mode and current heading is not an intercept to the Dir To bearing, FMS will again ARM and HDG selector must be placed accordingly for FMS to become active again, once in an intercept course.

I am unable to get the gauges to work. In the screen is just images of knobs and switches but not display in the PFD and NAV screens.

I'm unable to make the throttles work in my TQ6. I have followed the above instructions to the letter but "Axis: Throttle 1 set" and "Axis: throttle 2 set" won't work, the levers don't move. If i assign one lever to "Axis: Throttle set" then both throttles move correctly showing that detents are ok (same values as Throttle 1 and 2 in the axis file). Of course i would like to use separate axes for each throttle but the moment i switch oner of them to Axis: throttle 1 or 2 it will stop working.

I have configured identically the throttle and separate throttle sections in the axis calibration window of FSUIPC, but it just won't work and i'm out of ideas. Any help appreciated.

My TQ6+ is set like this:
a) FSUIPC.ini

Code: Select all

[Profile.Milviz KA350i]
1=Milviz KA350i C-GRJZ
2=Milviz KA350i G-POWB
3=Milviz KA350i LN-KYV
4=Milviz KA350i N70EU

[Axes.Milviz KA350i]
RangeRepeatRate=10
0=1X,256,F,66420,0,0,0	-{ TO SIM: AXIS_THROTTLE1_SET }-
1=1Y,256,F,66423,0,0,0	-{ TO SIM: AXIS_THROTTLE2_SET }-
2=1Z,256,F,66421,0,0,0	-{ TO SIM: AXIS_PROPELLER1_SET }-
3=1R,256,F,66425,0,0,0	-{ TO SIM: AXIS_MIXTURE2_SET }-
4=1U,256,F,66424,0,0,0	-{ TO SIM: AXIS_PROPELLER2_SET }-
5=1V,256,F,66422,0,0,0	-{ TO SIM: AXIS_MIXTURE1_SET }-

b) axis.cfg
1 - Use MVAMS to determine YOUR initial settings
2 - Use MVAMS / Export Controls to get your initial axis.cfg file
3 - Edit axis.cfg and verify that "invert=1" for all axis (MVAMS seems to randomly set "Invert=-1")
4 - Update the zip file and import it using MVAMS / Import Controls
5 - Iterate through 3, 4 until you get happy with your settings

My axis.cfg contains:

Code: Select all

[THROTTLE]
reverse=-16383
beta=200
idle=2000
max=16383
invert=1
[THROTTLE1]
reverse=-16383
beta=200
idle=2000
max=16383
invert=1
[THROTTLE2]
reverse=-16383
beta=200
idle=1000
max=16383
invert=1
[PROP]
feather=-16383
min=-16000
max=16383
invert=1
[PROP1]
feather=-16383
min=-16000
max=16383
invert=1
[PROP2]
feather=-16383
min=-16000
max=16383
invert=1
[CONDITION]
off=-16383
lowidle=-10000
highidle=16383
[CONDITION1]
off=-16383
lowidle=-10000
highidle=16383
invert=1
[CONDITION2]
off=-16383
lowidle=-10000
highidle=16383
invert=1

I need to do MVAMS / Import Controls each time I restart P3D (otherwise Throttle settings is lost)...

I have the same problems with terrain warning. In addition to having problems with the waypoint data on the mid MFD, showing wrong distance remaining (as pictured).

Sorry if this was already answered but was this confirmed that it will be fixed?

Thanks Tomas, makes sense.

I'm having the exact same problem with my TQ6 (Virtualfly).

I just bought KA350.
I downloaded the installer - MV_KA350i_v1.191223
Is this a beta version?
HF2 beta 1.0.6 installer in top- MV_KA350i_v1.0.6_200131

[N4GIX]

The aircraft is a Gold Release. The "beta" is referencing the Hotfix (HF) which is still undergoing some fine tuning.

I reinstalled version 1.0.1. Saitek throttles work again.

Hi team,

Just got another bug if you could look into it:

When flying a reversal procedure(I.e VOR APPR) and its time to turn inbound the aircraft will turn the wrong way. This with FMS APPR active on A/P.

I have confirmed this at two places so far:

YCFS Coffs Harbour VOR/DME APPR RWY 03 the aircraft will turn left instead of right at 8DME when turning inbound
YMAV Avalon VOR RWY 18 the aircraft will turn right instead of left at 8DME when going from outbound to inbound.

interestingly enough, the MFD will draw it out correctly and depicts the correct turn, but then for some reason it turns the other way.

Cheers!

How to save a flight? After a reboot, the plane is cold again.

[akstirling]

Hi ... MFD/PFD not quite right .... have tried reinstall numerous times ..... and a re-download ...

SGAA and SGSS are not supported. Disable them in Inspector or in Nvidia Control Panel

[msm607]

Still CTD every time I try to turn on the weather radar. That hasn't changed one bit since the very first build. Why is that?
