Bug description:
Invisibile Chocks on Viking DHC-2
Repro steps:
Turned On Dev Mode and Turned Off The Chocks from there, and aircraft moved due to them being invisible during Preflight. Can’t Provide Photo but it would move after started it up and now it moved after going to Dev Mode.

Hello @ArchaicPillow21

I’m not sure to understand the issue here.
You spawned the DHC-2 and removed the chocks from the Devmode Aircraft “Covers & Chocks” debug while in preflight, and the aircraft started rolling (assuming you also disabled the parking brake)?
If so, the fact that the chocks are then invisible and the aircraft rolls seems like the expected behavior to me.

Please elaborate as I am probably missing something.

Sylvain

Hi @FlyingRaccoon Sylvain,

We have reports in each of the individual feedback surveys for Dev Partner aircraft that indicate players are finding in the RTM build that removing the Visual Chocks during walk-around is insufficient.

In many cases an invisible set of chocks remains, thus pinning the aircraft in place during a Cold & Dark start.

Some reports indicate that revisiting the wheels can sometimes reveal said chocks by hovering the Toggle/Mouse pointer. Others state there’s no possible interaction, but at full power with Parking Brakes removed, the aircraft acts as if chocks are in place.

I can locate some of these survey entries for you if the team would like to review them. But two aircraft in particular stand out in the volume of these reports - Inibuilds A400M and Carenado’s C90TX.

It might be indicative of unexpected behavior in the implementation or corrections needed in the Code?

Let me know if you’d like to see these survey posts.

Thanks,

A.J. (on Jayne’s Team)

Hello @CasualClick

I’d rather have one of the impacted developer report the issue here so it can be investigated.
So far, I could not replicate the issue with any of the mentioned aircraft.

Ah, well, no point then. :smiling_face_with_sunglasses: Ini and Carenado don’t seem to be interested in that. I don’t have visibility into ADO other than the tickets assigned to my studio, otherwise I’d happily cross check to see if it’s been logged through different channels.
