Landmarks Removed?

Tailwheel · September 10, 2016 at 11:26 AM

Have landmarks been removed in the latest beta version? I can't see the labels anymore when I press L or switch them on in the General settings.

The same here.

Thanks for the confirmation... I thought it was just my install

My key assignments went crazy, I re-entered them all and could not get landmarks. I also cannot get the menu from a running flight, I have to use a joystick button or keep the top information bar on and click on the top left '<' symbol.

I haven't noticed any other key issues or menu access problems, just no landmark labels.

I lost about 40% of my asigned keys. I didn't mind putting them in again as it was a chance to revise my layout. I am using an old smart keyboard from the Windows 98 era! It hasn't been re-programmed, I assumed Win 10 would sort it out. There may be more dud assignments, it is just that I cannot use every possible key/button option.

Thank you for reporting this bug. We have fixed it internally and will release an update soon.

Thank you IPACS for your prompt support!

Thank you IPACS for fixing the issue with landmarks not switching off/on. However, in the latest beta release although the landmark labels are displaying now, they are flickering and flashing quite alot. Is anyone else experiencing this?

i am using version 2.0.1EA3.36 (not beta) and have the flickering as well. In addision the landmarks seam to be locked to the plane and not to the ground. If i activate the landmarks they are correct (flickering) but when i fly on they move with the plane.

Confirmed Felix, landmarks are flickering and moving with the aircraft.

I had the flickering landmarks foor a couple of days, but now no landmarks at all!

Patiently waiting for landmarks to get fixed.

Strange. Well I haven't seen any updates this week, but I just tried a flight and turned landmarks on again and they aren't flickering anymore... how bizarre is that?!

Same for me. If I switch off and on again the landmarks, they're ok for a few seconds, then they start flickering again...

We do not see this issue on our side.

Can we get some more information on what airplane, which location you are flying and also tell us your computer specs please.

Trespassers · September 25, 2016 at 12:02 AM

Well, I tried reproducing it tonight and couldn't. I'll keep an eye on it...

As of version EA3.38, this issue seems to be fixed for me now. No flickering, and landmarks stay in place and don't follow the aircraft. Great work IPACS!

After update to Version 2.0.1EA3.38 the landmarks are ok. No flickering. Just one suggestion: In some areas there are just too many landmarks, for example around Zürich (Switzerland). It would be great, to have a three stage landmark display: off, most important, all.

Thanks for the fix
Felix
