I got an opportunity to play again today, so I installed the new patch. I've found an issue where the forward radar in the X-Wing is reverse on the x-axis (left<>right). It's only with the dynamic cockpit and not with the static parts. You can see what I'm referencing in the image. I couldn't reproduce the issue in any other craft. I installed the 2020 craft pack back in January, played a bit, then haven't played until today. I can do a fresh install, but I wanted to put this here in case anyone else has this issue or this helps fix a bug.

This was already reported but thanks anyway :)
The fix is now live with Update 2.1 in the download section

Thanks so much. I hadn't seen this reported yet, sorry for the double.

I'm having this bug after installing the Mega Patch along the Update 3 (which as I understand, includes the previous Updates).

Is a fresh install for both the game and the Mega Patch, and the Update 3 is correctly installed as far as I know. I couldn't find in a quick look any file that shows the current installed version of the Upgrade, but creating a custom mission with a winged Calamari and the Platform 3 totally loads the new OPTs.

Are you still having this issue? I can't recreate it. The files in Update 3 seem correct.
Go to the Backup folder and copy back all the files from the dated XWAU 2020 Mega Patch Update 3 folder.
Then try installed Update 3 again. Also make sure no Steam or GoG etc programs are running

Yup! Just tried what you said (and making sure there was no GOG or Steam running), and the problem is still there, in both campaign and simulator.

I'll try to reinstall the game and download everything again, but no idea :-?

Redowonloaded and reinstalled everything. Game (GOG version), Megapatch, Update 3. No GOG or Steam running.

With only the game, the X-Wing radar works as intended. With the Megapatch applied, the X-Wing radar also works as intended. But once I install Update 3, the bug appears.

Which XWing are you using? Just the default one.
I need to do some more tests and may not have time tonight but you maybe right...

@Kharn I owe you an apology for taking this long to sort this. :ops:
You are right the issue is still there, I take responsibility for that. :( I had been looking at my test version which was correct and not the release one.
Not sure what happened but the files didn't get added properly to Update 4. More annoyingly it slipped through others testing too. :kopfwand:
No one else seems to have seen the issue again either it seems.

Here are the fixed files. If you extract them and add to the Dynamic Cockpit folder then it should work.
Please can you confirm that it works for you. Sorry to have you messing about when it was my mistake.

Yep! That solves it. Thanks!

And don't worry for the multiple reinstalls and so. If it served for something, is all good! :P

I am/was also getting this issue.
once when installing 3.0 over 2.1, and then again when doing a fresh install from the ground up.. megapatch + update 3.0.

... and the XWing-fix.zip fixed it perfectly.
