Zilch Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Hey everyone! I finally got a good DCS rig and am learning how to employ the A-10C to the best of my abilities. As it happened in one of the campaign missions, I was blasting some BMP's when some harassing MiG-29's decided to zoom through my target area. I queued up my AIM-9's and fired both into one's tailpipe, obliterating it in what must have looked like a pretty cool move. I saved the track, but unfortunately, just before the MiG's enter my target area, the replay track shows that instead of busting out some badass snap-decision ACM, I go full retard and and just spiral my hog straight into the ground like a moth to a flame for no reason. Since my A-10 ceased to exist in the track, he missile shot never takes place either, and instead of dying of humiliation and two AIM-9's, the MiG instead proceeds to shoot down our KC-135 and lives a long, fulfilled MiG life. Worst of all, I can't show the clip and brag to my friends. Anyone have any ideas? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Zilch79's YouTube Channel:
Buzzles Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Yes, tracks are unreliable. Very short ones tend to be fairly reliable, but after that it's pot luck. If you accelerated time at all, that generally tends to break tracks. Fancy trying Star Citizen? Click here!
baltic_dragon Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Had the same in The Valley campaign, where I went with my belly in the water (and then grass) to take out the Buk battery. In the track I never made it there and I was shot down half way from the action... For more information, please visit my website. If you want to reach me with a bug report, feedback or a question, it is best to do this via my Discord channel. Details about the WinWing draw can be found here.

Zilch Posted October 4, 2014 Author Posted October 4, 2014 Heh, I'd love to have seen your impression of the A-10 employed as an LCAC! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Zilch79's YouTube Channel:
Mallard of Death Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Gods, I know how you feel! I had some pretty awesome tracks, yet now, they are corrupted. Bummer beyond bumming.
Maverick-X Posted October 5, 2014 Posted October 5, 2014 I once saw a Su33 in a MP mission firing off a voley of missiles. He was some 1000ft above me and I think about 5nm away. Managed to get more or less below him and fired a fox, direct hit under the fuselage. Unfortunately this Bas**** directly moved to spectators, the Track (as always) does not work and export for TacView had been disabled -.-
