ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:

Common issues with both 2020 and 2024 versions

  1. The prop governor doesn’t seem to be able to hold a constant RPM and requires constant adjustment every time speed or manifold pressure changes.
  2. Default VR head position is the high landing view.
  3. “Toggle Radios” function duplicated on two clickspots - old fashioned radios behind the control stick and one of the electrical switches on the lower right. Neither affect the other so if one is on the radios will be present even if the other is off.
  4. Center tank fuel should be in Imperial Gallons but reads in in US Gallons - i.e. a full tanks should be 70 imp. gal (84.06 US gal) but it doesn’t show any change until you drop bellow 70 US gal.

2024 native version from Inibuilds

  1. Can not open the canopy as it’s used for exiting the plane. This is a must have on a taildragger warbird with a sliding canopy and the most important bug that needs fixing
  2. Fuel load is wrong, should be 70 imp. gal (~84.06 US gal) for the center tanks and 45 imp. gal (~54.04 US gal) for the wing tanks not 90 and 70 US gal
  3. Fuel gauges don’t respond to loadout changes. Sometime they correct after 10mins or so but mostly do not. Inibuilds Spartan had a very similar bug.
  4. The Cylinder Head Temp seems way to high, shooting up to 250 almost immediately after engine start , and opening cowl flaps has zero cooling effect
  5. Tail wheel lock lever doesn’t respond when using bound HOTAS button. Lock function still works correctly however just with the cockpit lever and tooltip out of sync with the actual setting.
  6. Primer pump handle doesn’t rotate when unlocking it like it does on the 2020 version
  7. Cannon and machine gun lights don’t light up when switch on as they do in the 2020 version
  8. Nav lights not visible from the cockpit in VR. They show correctly in external view however. Not an issue on flat screen
  9. Fuel gauge lights don’t actually light up any of the fuel gauges just provide a low glow with no apparent source
  10. Landing lights give a flash when switching on which is visible through the wing from behind in external view (could also be an issue with the 2020 version but forgot to test)
  11. The pilot and harness clickspot is still present in the 2024 version despite not having a function as it uses the 2024 avatar rather than the custom WWII pilot of the 2020 version.
  12. The 2024 pilot avatar seems scaled wrong and much too small for the plane.

2020 native version from Aeroplane Heaven

  1. Trying to open the canopy with the mouse wheel when the lock is engaged still results in increased wind noise as if the canopy is open
  2. Cockpit light is blindingly bright
  3. Fuel gauge light switch doesn’t do anything
  4. Nav lights make the entire wingtip glow unrealistically. In VR from the cockpit the glow is visible but not the actual light. The light is visible in external VR view or both views on flat screen

One more thing I forgot to mention - the engine start on the 2020 version is much more realistic with it taking a while to catch. The 2024 version starts instantly.

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.

Centre flaps not visibly deploying in 2024 version.

As noted above, we have sent this in to the team who internally will be seperating it out into different bug reports. We do ask moving forward that you create a new thread for each bug report, as there is a chance this one may stay open if some bugs are fixed and others not fixed. Just a heads up! We may close it after some of the items are fixed, but all of the bugs listed in the first post will be looked at.

Appreciate the confirmation and will log any further bugs I might find as new topics.

Many thanks

Fuel load is ok here (2024 version).

Are you sure you don’t have the 2020 version activated? This is what I got:

2020 version:

2024 version:

Yes, I’m sure. I don’t have 2020 installed anymore and got the Boomerang in 2024.

If you purchased it under 2024 (and maybe 2020, I don’t know as I don’t have it installed any more either) you get both versions.

Go into Marketplace, then into “My Library” and search for Boomerang. You should see the two versions, a 2024 one by Inibuilds and a 2020 one by Aeroplane Heaven. The 2020 one works perfectly fine on 2024, is less buggy than the official 2024 one and allows you to open the cockpit without exiting the plane plus the pilot is scaled correctly.

Activating it will automatically deactivate the 2024 one as they conflict.

There’s a pic of how to switch version in the other Boomerang thread if you scroll up a bit.

Here’s a direct link to that post: Local Legend 24: CAC Boomerang - #11 by Editer

You are right, the 2020 version is activated.

So, as a 2024 user with 2020 not even installed it activates the 2020 version. What’s that?

That is odd is what that is and I have no explanation for it. I got the 2024 version activated by default when I first bought it and had to manually switch to the 2020 version which I would assume is expected behaviour.

So sad that it has so many limitations. With a bit more passion (I think Jörg used this word when he explained that he wants to keep all those old aircraft alive) and QA time this could be a highlight.

Yeah, activating the 2020 version requires extra steps for me. Not sure how it happened automatically :thinking:

Fuel selector is also broken! Right runs left tank the rest even in off position runs center tank.

Strange thing, also for Fokker F.VII on playstation

I “bought” the free FS2024 version 2 days ago. Yesterday I upgraded to Premium Deluxe and after that the FS2020 version was activated and the FS2024 version was deactivated.

Maybe the FS2020 version was included in the upgrade?
