Bug: Missing animation for attitude indicator knob.

Post by boomshinesaigon »

Prepar3D Version: 3.4.18.19475
SimConnect Version: 3.4.0.0
Plane Version: A2A_Update_01_17_17

Note: Tests are done after loading a default aircraft (F-22) at a default airport (Eglin AFB), then loading the T-6 at the same airport. No SimConnect errors have occurred.

Issue: The attitude indicator knob is not animated when it is adjusted.

Reproduction steps:

1. Adjust the attitude indicator knob; observe that there is no knob turning animation.

What would you gain from an animated knob? It doesn't stop you enjoying the sim. You can press"B" and it will set the right altimeter setting for you.

They may not of animated it on purpose to help performance, more animations means less performance.

I would gain an animated knob; consistent with the other A2A products.

Of course not, I've been having a ton of fun with the T-6. It is one of my favourite planes to fly.

I'd rather do that myself. That requires me to interact with the knob which is how I noticed.

I highly doubt that out of the complex systems of the plane, the knob turning animations (which are simple rotations of a cylinder with a texture) is where the performance bottlenecks lie.

The purpose of my bug reports are to help A2A make the planes better for everyone. If people don't care or they don't wish to put the resources into fixing them, then it is what it is.

Somehow this bug slipped through. :) Thanks for the report and sorry for the inconvenience.

It's fixed in our internal build now, fix should go with the next patch.
