Broken EFB map (map flickers, zooms in and out by itself, doesn’t load new tiles when zooming in or panning manually)

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

EFB map constantly flickers and zooms in and out by itselfs and doesn’t load new tiles when zooming in or panning manually in VR and sometimes even in 2D.
this started around v1.7.32 and still exists on current v1.7.35 live version.

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

all the time

REPRODUCTION STEPS

  1. launch game into career mode or free flight

  2. look at mounted EFB in cockpit

  3. or bring ‘virtual’ onscreen EFB with button combo

YOUR SETTINGS

PS5 Pro with PSVR2 and mouse

MEDIA

I have the same issue. I only fly in VR but it keeps happening to me, especially when I try and drag the map around or when I zoom in and out often.

My settings:
PS5 Base with PSVR2, using Hotas4 and Mouse

Yes I am also having this issue. I use the EFB map when taxing to my runway and it will zoom out making it almost useless and it also effects me at other times when using the EFB map.

PS5 Base, PSVR2, DualSense and Mouse.

I have the same issue. It seems to be triggered by zooming in or out the first time after loading the game and then persists.

Yes, I’m having same problem

Same problem for me on PC, started with ver. 5.0

Same here in PC from ver 5 but still in 5.1

It also CTD if you try to “pop it out” and move to another monitor.

Thank you for the bug report.

We have created an internal ticket to see if our team already has this logged, and if not they will attempt to reproduce the issue and create a new bug report. This item is now marked as feedback-logged. If there is an existing bug report or one is created, we will move this thread to bug-logged.

1ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:

This is happening in PSVR2 mode when using Sense VR controllers. But it is possible it is manifesting also in other modes/controllers.

When I point at the map in EFB and use the right stick up/down to zoom in/out on the map sometimes the map starts flashing(see the video). The plane must be moving. I realized this flashing is because the map is “switching” between two different zoom values.

Also when I open any other virtual window in the codkpit and use he right stictk up/down to scroll UI element it still zooms in/out the EFB map. The game doesn’t disable focus on the EFB.

Last issue is when I switch to external cam view and open EFB the map zoom controls are not working.(when pointing at the map and using right stict up/down). Imhave to switch back to cockpit view to zomm the map.

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?

map flashing - most of the time

zoom control issues - every time

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

  1. start flying the plane

  2. point right controller at EFB map and zoom in/out using right stick

  3. the map starts flashing

  4. open virtual window for example “controls”

  5. point at the “controls” window and use the right stick to scroll ui

  6. while scrolling the ui the EFB map is zooming as well!

  7. switch to external cam view

  8. open EFB and try to zoom the map

  9. the map is not zooming

new beta v1.8.8 - issue still persists.
from my testing - only helicopters are affected.




If issue only happens with helicopter then I would recommend to update the title/description/reproduction steps adding this information. This is an important point for the devs to know in order to replicate.

But from @FlaxenSheet4355 above post, it seems also happening with aircraft (video is in VR, maybe a separate issue ?)

This is definitely NOT restricted to helicopters. I’m flying planes only so far and can confirm on Cesnas and X Cub for sure.

I think it is vehicle independed issue and it is triggerd by specific scenario when the zoom action is performed on active surface that is not EFB. I suspect it has something to do with the wrong focus logic (but I can be wrong :-))
