  1. Figured it out. Reload time was easy. Just need to change reload_time (and switch_on_delay) in M777_GunsAndAmmo.lua to something reasonable like 180. The not reloading at all with an unlimited "Fire at Point" task took longer to figure out, but it's because of the multiple launchers (ammo types) defined for the vehicle. That's why the MLRS and M109 didn't have the problem. Seems to be a bug with DCS, reproducible with ED's KS-19. Though I expect no one's come across it because really, who orders AAA to fire at a point on the ground? (EDIT: Correction, the KS-19 *will* reload, it just takes about 20 min, loads all at once, and doesn't appear to reload until its HE rounds are expended. So now I'm not sure if it's just a mod problem or DCS problem, but I've confirmed the fix here works with the latest build) Quick fix is to comment out (or remove) lines 121-149 in M777LTH_MTVR.lua and lines 90-118 in M777LTH.lua Longer term fix would be for CH to decide whether to break out the M795 and Excalibur into separate unit definitions as was done for MLRS and HIMARS.
  2. @currenthill Discovered a glitch with M777 reloading/rearming. If you give it a waypoint action of "Fire at Point" without specifying "Rounds Expended", it won't reload with a supply truck in range the way your M270A1 MLRS or ED's M109 Paladin will. It *will* reload if you set Rounds Expended to 60 or less (for Weapon Type = "AUTO" or 40 for "Unguided" or 20 for "Guided'), but then it's limited to that barrage instead of continuous fire. Also, the reload/rearm timer is weird: Excaliburs load all at once after about 40 sec; HE rounds load one at time about every 4 min (which will take over 2.5 hours for a full reload). Using latest open beta and latest USA asset pack (1.0.0 dated 21 Dec 2023, downloaded yesterday).
  3. Updated to open beta version 2.8.6.41066 yesterday. Eventually was able to authenticate and fly. Today, more 502 errors, but it's still disabling modules even though it says it's using saved authorization. nullnull
