MCG Ultimate white LED

[darklanov]

Hello,

I was flying in DCS as usual with the dot LED shining green, and suddenly both the bar and dot LEDs shone white, and then returned to normal. This happened about three times before I freaked out and decided to see what's going on.

I’ve posted about the exact same thing:

And other posts about same issue

Is there any response to this issue yet?

If there's no other side effect coming with that, like axes jumping on the tester or your ship/plane getting out of control while the white LEDs are up, then it's a software glitch and in this case don't worry about it - it will get fixed in a future update.

Ok thank you fallout, I can live with that. Time frame on fix?

[fallout9]

Being just a cosmetic issue it would just wait for its turn. Cheers!

Is there a way to completely disable the LED's?

Change LEDs 10 and 11 to Off, then press Set to save. You might still have them flashing, as the device responds with white color to events that cannot be controlled at user level, but let us know.

Ill give it a try and let you know.

I've been using the LED setting you recommended and it seems to have worked. I'll keep an eye on it just to be sure.

It seems I spoke too soon, the white lights are still flashing intermittently. Its back to electrical tape I guess. I did notice bigger spikes on the error communications tab for the grip, no errors for the base. Over a duration of about 30 minutes I had three spikes, 2 yellow and 1 orange for the grip. I dont have any errors when the stick is not moving. I tried taking off the base plate and jiggling the wires and plugs from the board going to the x and y axis and had no errors. here is screenshots of the spikes:

I tried this fix too but what ended up happening is that my analog POV hats stopped registering the depress action meaning I lost 2 keybuttons but LEDS didn't flash white I can tell you that.
And no matter what I do (changing it back to how it was or reloading my old saved profile) it just didn't get the depress buttons to work again until someone suggested to me to reset with the default parameters.
Once I did that I saw that my depress buttons worked and instantly calibrated my stick (saw it was working again) then I applied the "fix" again and same story, depress actions weren't being registered.

This happened with a very old (2+ year old) firmware, I also recently updated to the latest one and the same issue is occurring so I need a better fix then this because I don't want to lose 2 buttons for some LED's.
