Broken HUDs (+HMDs + Cockpit MFD Issues)

It’s amazing that another update in a row and we still can’t get the basic VR related bugs fixed, in the new machines HMD deadzone is the same as for the old machines with no changes whatsoever which is still not usable ( bugs with the EF hud has also not been fixed, still also no on-board weapon sight on the hud ) . With all the money raised on pre-orders and machines for 80 euros, developers still can’t afford to buy VR goggles to test the update before its release? @Smin1080p_WT

Hehe, if the availability of VR goggles is the issue: I’d even be willing to invest a bit in a crowdfunding project…

Su27 and SM HMD donuts only show up inside the front canopy ring if you zoom, and the lock crosshairs rarely appear when looking at normal magnification behind the canopy ring. Still.

And the EF2000 STILL has the deadzone from 12 to 10 o’clock, meaning you cannot IFF or lock anything for almost 2/3rds of your gimbal limit, and I have to hold a right banking turn to try to lock IR and ARHs.

And TV missiles/targeting pod screens are still jarring, jerky, and disorienting.

Awesome working through some of the bug reports collected from the Dev Server and the TWS lock box seems to be working on the F/A-18 HUD now.

Spoiler

Would be nice now for the other radar lock boxes to be fixed for the AV-8B+, AMX and JHMCS for the F-16C/C Barak/D/F-15C/E equivalents/F/A-18C.

Actually in the Su-27s the HMD lock crosshairs do appear…for the fraction of a second before your entire HUD disappears. <3

Gone through my list of bug reports collected during the Dev Server. I am pleased to say that a few issues have been fixed from then including some issues present before the Dev Server.

However as expected there is still a large number of issues are still present on Live including some new ones found after the release of update Hornet’s Sting. Here’s the changes made to the list:

HUD

US
[DEV] F-18C Late wrong HUD
[Dev] Filenames indicated on MFD’s and HUD (F/A-18C early)

Great Britain
Sea Harrier (All) Using wrong HUD (Fixed!!! (Added in update Hornet’s Sting))
Second Sea Harrier wrong HUD report (Fixed!!! (Added in update Hornet’s Sting))
Sea Harrier HUD gunsight starts in the wrong location (Open)
[DEV] Sea Harrier FRS1e/FRS1/FA2 - New HUD Issues (Open)
Ha I bet you thought the new Sea Harrier HUD’s would actually be finished when added. It’s more likely to win the lottery than have a Harrier Fix.

China
[DEV] J-11B HUD - IR Seeker Circle & Track Indicator (Bug) (Accepted)
(DEV) J11B’s HUD need to be remake (Accepted, Forward for review)

France
[DEV] Rafale HUD Missing BREAK Indication (Accepted)

(Community Bug Reporting System) (Accepted)
Mirage 2000s HUD issue (Open)

HMD

France
HMD on the Rafale C F3 (and A-10C) not scaled to edges of screen (Now fixed but the HMD activation seems more one sided now than before)
[DEV] Rafale HMD Target Marker Not Working (Accepted)
Rafale HMS (Open)

VR

US
[Dev] F/A-18 Hornet: inversed positioning of radar lock boxes (Forward to Devs)

Cockpit Issues

US
[Dev] Exagerated cockpit reflections (F/A-18, all variants) (Open)

MFD Issues

US
[Dev] Filenames indicated on MFD’s and HUD (F/A-18C early) (Open)
[Dev] Missing RWR page on MFD’s (F/A-18, all variants) (Open)

China
[DEV]Pilot display on J-10A’ s MFD wrongly (Open)
[DEV] J-11B Chinese cockpit display (Open)
【Dev】JF17 Cockpit screen display wrong view (Open)

As always if there’s any reports of HUD/VR/Cockpit/HMD/MFD issues please reply with the link and I will add it to the list.

Also it would be great if everyone could check out the reports in the list and support them by commenting or just by clicking “I have the same issue”.

I am glad that they finally got to the AH-1Z CCIP for rockets working in cockpit view. Unfortunately in the process they somehow removed (point of interest icon that was working fine without the aiming reticle) so now you have no clue where your POI is in cockpit view. Can we please fix things without breaking others? D it Gaijin I just want to use my Viper through the cockpit with stuff working!

I just was able to get it to show up but it isnt where my actual point of interest is at all? It is off to the left underneath the base icon while my POI is to my 3 o clock.

Made a reports about F/A-18 hud

It would be nice if they added more detail to the F15E MFDs.

F15E - WT:

Example:
Captura de pantalla 2025-03-24 171044

Added.

Also added a report for the Tornado GR.4 HUD naming of the AIM-9’s.
Tornado GR.4 AIM-9 naming on HUD broken

This isn’t a HUD per se, as it’s a simple gyro gunsight.

However:

Zoom/FoV settings in F8E/F8U cause orange haze to manifest with varying opacity when turning off gunsight, disappearing at maximum zoom and becoming almost impenetrable when fully zoomed out.

Added

Was gunna say. I thought I had already reported that and it has been fixed 🤣

But embarrassed that I didn’t even notice when playing the GR4 yesterday. Normally I spot things like that instantly

Honestly I doubt that stuff is fixed even when they say it’s fixed since 9 times out of 10 it actually isn’t fixed. But it got accepted pretty quickly so I guess it shouldn’t be too long until it is fixed for good. (I have no hope)

Yeah, got fixed after about a week last time

Here is one aincent cockpit bug that hasnt been fixed in years, didnt find it in this thread dont know if any jets have sniper mode but same will probably happen.

Cant enter “sniper” mode if cockpit is zoomed out // Gaijin.net // Issues

God yeah that’s been around for ages. Added to the list

Sea Harrier FRS1/FA2 - Missing CCRP Symbology

Tornado GR4 - AGM selects “rocket” sight mode

Tornado Gr1 - AGM Selects “Rocket” sight mode

3 more for your list.

Does it also not show when you cycle through sight modes?

IIRC also some other aircraft currently suffer from sight not automatically change to corresponding mode when selecting weapons…
