busdriver 35 Posted November 3 (edited) I've already noted the issue that sometimes (not always) when using Basic Autopilot my airplane's phase of flight changes to "drone" and the rest of the formation leaves me flying straight and level. BTW "drone" is the activity label you get when you engage Level Autopilot. Other odd behavior I'm seeing frequently is an attacking airplane spearing (mid-air collision) its target. During my first two engagements after upgrading to OTT I was speared. I'm seeing it on a majority of sorties. During a 20 Sqn (F2b) bombing sortie, our 6 ship formation bounced a single recce DFW that was going home (it was on our side of the lines) rather than letting our escort of N-27s engage it. I watched one of our F2b spear the DFW. On my last sortie, 56 Sqn (SE5) patrol near an enemy airfield, the entire squadron of 12 SE5s bounced 5 x DFW in the landing phase circling their aerodrome. I watched 3 of my squadron mates spear their targets. Looking at that screenshot above reminds me of a saying I frequently heard guys use back during the Jurassic Era of flying F-16s...those AI closing on the DFW are "all d*ck and no forehead." I watched this happen two more times. Oddly my last three sorties ended abruptly while I was flying. I noticed this message when I tried to review the last one...the 56 Sqn sortie. I'm going to uninstall BH&H II and try a clean install. Bleh... Edited November 3 by busdriver Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rick Rawlings 138 Posted November 3 I would say that is the best idea. I would recommend using the toolkit tool and then restarting after you clear everything out. Hope it works for you! I haven't seen any of that behavior so far. Good luck! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
busdriver 35 Posted November 3 Yep going to follow the recipe from Mike Dora's thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Polovski 460 Posted November 4 Nothing was changed with AI or auto pilot. It's possible you are accidently not pressing one of the keys CTRL or Shift sometimes with the key combination (could also be iffy key, I have a had fair few keyboards with that) or maybe another memory resident key is using those some of those keys too. CTRL+A would only enable auto trim for example. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
busdriver 35 Posted November 4 Did a clean reinstall yesterday. Have not encountered any AI spearing their target, no abrupt mission quitting. Did see some apparent ghosting from my X-56 throttle (TAC toggle Shift + T, and Level Autopilot Ctrl + F) so I removed those key bindings. So far those ghost inputs have not shown up again. And I'm now trying a powered USB connection. Perhaps a new keyboard and HOTAS are in my near future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
