Hello all
Since the last update, I am also having this issue. Particularly with GB6 SFW, although this is the weapon I am working on learning at the moment so I haven’t really launched anything else!!
I have flown two sorties in the last couple of days, both about an hour to target, and the weapon would not release when the time came. I launch earlier in a sortie, the weapon will work, but later in a sortie it won’t.
RDY was visible on the HUD
Weapon in PP mode with a waypoint on number 36
Master arm on
DTC updated, in, and data transferred
Config set appropriately
No ‘FAIL’ or red signals on the stores page
No error messages on the instrument panel
Max G for the sorties was 2.5, so within g restrictions
Key binds checked and mapped correctly, also tried release through alternative means (HOTAS AND keyboard) – still no release
I made sure I had set up the weapons settings before departing, and checked the mode/settings before release.
On the screen I saw a circle around the target with a direct line to it, and the moving horizontal line towards me – so that targeting is working correctly.
I also had rockets on board, so tried to launch those but they wouldn’t launch either. On another sortie, I tried launching earlier on in the trip and both the GB6 and BRM rockets worked.
It just seems like there is something wrong with the release after a certain period of time?
I have the track file from a multiplayer mission where it happened, see: https://www.dropbox.com/s/0lzs12n6xlga63v/Free_Flight_v7.95-20210817-123955.trk?dl=0
I haven’t got the track file for the last sortie which was a single player to try and replicate what’s going on.
I have found a DCS log which I think is of the sortie and it said:

What’s WCS Launch Error Code: 9? Is it that?
Is this a bug or my ineptitude? I love the JF 17 module and it’s the one I mostly fly. I probably have around 150 hours on it so far. Thank you so much for creating such a great aircraft!
