Collective control would sometimes be fully lost until restarting the game
Auto-hover was causing loss of power during sling loading

We would have your feedback on whether this version fixes the loss of collective controls introduced in the previous version (CIT issue). We were unable to reproduce it on any of our PCs, so this is a blind fix. Thanks!

I have tried to replicate the 'collective bug' in this and the last beta, and so far, I have also failed to 'lose' the collective control.

One thing I have noticed is that while flying in cockpit view, the cockpit disappears for a second (actually less than that). It's not the whole screen, just the cockpit. When it disappears, you can see the scenery almost as if it is a 'no cockpit' view. There's no partcular mission it does it in, it can be an editor session, a scenario, time trial etc. It does do it consistantly though. I'll try and you-tube it later when the kids are in bed.

I have the same problem with the disappearing cockpit. It was present in the previous beta as well. You may also notice the scenery disappear from time to time.

Did you fly on an A2 or an A2 Addon map? I had the cockpit-disappear-issue with those maps since the game is released.

Not for me. Vanilla ToH with latest patch and latest beta.

Likewise. Seems to happen all over Seattle - particularly in the downtown area.

Created a CIT for the cockpit flickering #29012

See the effect in the following video at 45 seconds and again at 1 minute

I've had cockpit disappear for second or less in vanilla TKOH and vanilla A2:OA for year(s). Luckily it doesn't happen too frequently.

Since the cockpit flickering is again one of those issues we don't see happen a lot in-house, let's try to find a pattern in hardware and software. Please can those who see this happen post information about HW, SW and settings in TKOH (in the CIT ticket or here)? If we can link it to a specific settings (e.g. PiP), it will be more feasible to track down.

I see the occasional cockpit flickering. See signature for settings.
