Broken HUDs (+HMDs + Cockpit MFD Issues)

I would like to ask if we can ask for an update on viewing reports? Specifically regarding VR-related bugs as they are the most troublesome for the community trying to enjoy virtual reality ( Making it almost impossible to have a fair fight with non-VR players. ) , and also for the fact that the list of VR bugs is relatively short and most of the bugs have been accepted a long time ago. @tronexer @Smin1080p_WT @Stona_WT

I am particularly saddened by the fact that bugs concerning the same problems but occurring outside of VR are being fixed much faster than those in the virtual reality category. Here are some examples:

Here the equivalents of these errors but occurring in VR ( Already given earlier in this thread. ) :

I’d like to highlight the Eurofighter’s HUD radar symbology being broken in VR. This is not a minor inconvenience, it’s a very obvious bug that makes the plane largely unplayable in VR unless you’re okay with symbols that are supposed to be informative instead randomly flying around in front of your face while you try to play.

but also reported by others.

So I hopped into the F-15E today… at the first glance:

  • Bore sight marker in the middle of the HUD (tactical face palm)
  • HMD does not work in frontal hemisphere (second tactical face palm)

Is the F-15E Early Access vehicle ?
Otherwise nice HUD and MFDs to not be just negative.

That’s not a bug and can be set back to the gun sight

All you need to do is hit the key bind you have for exit selected weapons mode and it will restore it to default.

Which is really not ideal if you use “primary weapon fire” keybind as I do.

Also its a right old faf if you want to swap between bombs and guns rapidly.

No, it is simple a bug that did not exist before they introduced automatic sight mode swapping

Ohhh i see. I just have the guns on my trigger button so they can fire regardless of what weapon I have selected.

Overall the Shars need a major overhaul. They need a Rad alt warning noise and a completely new HUD.

It should be noted that that isn’t unique to the A-10, and many more planes have incorrectly placed cockpit views. The A-4s, A-10s, and J29s are particularly bad, but this issue affects almost every jet in the game, as well as several propeller planes to varying degrees.

I’ve been wanting to make a thread detailing all issues with cockpit view placements, but it’s beyond the scope of what I can do by myself.

Yeah the bug is really annoying since usually if you use all your rockets and bombs before getting into a fight you can’t actually use your HUD anymore.

And yeah it would work by exiting weapons selector but it means if you have primary and additional guns you need more keybinds to fire them individually instead of just using the trigger button with weapons selector which I feel is important as I can just use 2 buttons for firing weapons, trigger for primary and a paddle for secondary weapons.

This bug is one of the ones i hope gets fixed soon.

Theres this bug report under the general section

https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/QB3PTazdSQBR

It talks about the pilot head being too low in nato aircraft but yeah pretty much every aircraft has this issue.

Do we have any updates on the status of bug fixes related to VR and HMDs? I would appreciate any response, even if it’s to say, “We don’t have a solution at the moment” or “It’s not currently possible to address this issue.” Having some clarity would help us manage expectations—otherwise, we may need to just go to alternatives like DCS.

As we are on this topic, has anyone experienced frame drops in VR when looking at an enemy’s afterburner? This seems to be a new issue, as it didn’t happen before the most recent main update.

Looking forward to your feedback.

Hello

Reports would generally be updated directly when there is news of a fix or correction to a subject. Currently the F-16 one is under investigation. Regarding the others, when a member of the team can validate and confirm with VR, those can also reviewed.

Would be good to see a SIM/VR focused update at some point. WAY too many outstanding issues, some that have been around for quite a while

Has anyone reported a problem with frame rate dropping during dogfights and looking at the afterburner in vr?

By the way, another problem concerning VR, their number is starting to be terribly jumped. It looks bad in the context of GJ making a game typically under VR. Even the latest update doesn’t have a properly created HUD for the EF-2000 in VR.

Another one: Community Bug Reporting System

Also, for everybody: Please always support all those bug reports that are collected here, by clicking “I have the same issue” and if possible also by maybe commenting the reports in a constructive way.

Added labels to each report showing their status.

Also made a note of some bug reports that don’t seem to have been handled correctly being marked incorrectly as duplicates, not a bug, or fixed when the issue still persists.

F4 EJ KAI missing lead indicator from HUD (Not a Bug)
JH-7A Missing CCRP HUD Indicator(Dumb Bombs and Guided Bombs) (Not a Bug)
AMX no gun lead indicator on HUD (Duplicate of another report which has nothing to do with it.)
AMX HUD has no Target Lock box (Marked as fixed when it is not. Also the report that was mentioned in the report above as being a duplicate of.)
eurofighter cockpit texturing and lighting (Not a Bug. Is a texture bug, was fine in the dev server but broken in live. Tech mod says it’s a feature.)
Kurnass 2000 TISEO not tracking targets (Marked as fixed except it’s not.)
[DEV] Rafale FSO-IRST not tracking (Marked as fixed except it only now works for TWS hard locking, doesn’t work for any other radar lock modes or IRST locks)
