Yeros Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 As the title says, L-140 is not working. I first noticed when I was trying the Republic campaign and I had a few AT-5 Konkurs flying my way with no warning. I'm making this thread to report the bug as per 1.5 bug reporting rules. I'm saying this because there is a thread already in the forums - http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=151369 . Find attached the relevant tracks for 1.2 and 1.5 and the mission which I created for testing.lwr_test.mizlwr_test_12.trklwr_test_15.trk
Yeros Posted November 6, 2015 Author Posted November 6, 2015 -- UPDATE-- I've conducted another test where I put a Ka-50 vs a player handled Ka-50. The L-140 works fine in this case (the AI paints my Ka-50 when it tries to kill me). So now the question is if in 1.5 vehicles which don't carry laser beam riding weapons no longer use their range finder in order to shoot their cannons/mgs. I think that this was the behaviour in 1.2 i.e. vehicles always used their laser rangefinders. If indeed this is the new behaviour then this is obviously not a bug (but we'd still like to know :smilewink: ) . Otherwise, if this is not correct, there might be a bug in either AI vehicle behaviour or their lasers don't work correctly or the L-140 is indeed bugged and selectively fires off.lwr_test_2.miz

Yeros Posted November 7, 2015 Author Posted November 7, 2015 AFAIK Konkurs does not use laser guidance, Kornet on the other hand is a beam rider. That's true, and this is why I did the second test. I was under the impresion that units which have laser range finders where using them when targeting helicopters (correct me if I'm wrong). The behaviour is different from 1.2 and that's why I filed this as a bug.
karambiatos Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 The best way to test this is to get someone with CA to lase/lock your helicopter, in some patch ED said that it should produce a laser warning from hence forth. A 1000 flights, a 1000 crashes, perfect record. =&arrFilter_pf[gameversion]=&arrFilter_pf[filelang]=&arrFilter_pf[aircraft]=&arrFilter_DATE_CREATE_1_DAYS_TO_BACK=&sort_by_order=TIMESTAMP_X_DESC"] Check out my random mods and things
Yeros Posted November 7, 2015 Author Posted November 7, 2015 Here's another update. I was playing the Republic mission 2 and I was shot down by a T-72B using a 9M119 laser beam riding missile. I got no warnings in the helicopter. I've attached the log from the mission ending and the track. I can confirm that helicopters lase you and you get a warning, so the updated summary is: 1. L-140 works when another Ka-50 targets you 2. Vehicles lasing your ka-50 don't fire up the L-140 The track is a bit large so here's a link to it: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4vPazA1hTj9NzVZZzFTX09nc2M/view?usp=sharing
msalama Posted November 10, 2015 Posted November 10, 2015 ATM I'm working on a Ka-50 mission after a long hiatus, and while the mission keeps on crashing (which is a beta thing I'm sure), I've already gotten a laser warning or two. So it SEEMS to work on my end at least. I'm running the latest beta. The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.

So it SEEMS to work on my end at least. I'm running the latest beta. I've just downloaded and tested the latest beta. I'm attaching two missions which I used to test. In one (test2 - you'll find it in an earlier post), another Ka-50 will attack your Ka-50. Your L-140 will work normally. In the other one (test3) a T-72B will attack your Ka-50 using 9M119 laser beam riding missile. Your L-140 will not work as it should. It seems that the error is related to some (or all) ground vehicles. NB for the T-72 to attack you with missiles you'll need to hover or move slowly.lwr_test_3.miz
msalama Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 related to some (or all) ground vehicles Well I'd say some, because others seem to work. No idea of the type of the vehicle lazing me when I got the warning, though, but it was a Blue unit at any rate. The DCS Mi-8MTV2. The best aviational BBW experience you could ever dream of.
BManx2000 Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 I can confirm this, 9M119 isn't setting off the warning.
Yeros Posted November 25, 2015 Author Posted November 25, 2015 I had a quick run and the latest patch seems to fix the issues with L-140. I will confirm this later, after I run some extra tests.
flanker0ne Posted November 25, 2015 Posted November 25, 2015 From the Changelog looks like that the problem is not related with the L-140 but with the Tank's Laser Range Finder System. SCOPRI DI PIU': https://www.amvi.it/joinus.php DISCORD COMBINEDOPS The Battle Planning Tool
Yeros Posted November 29, 2015 Author Posted November 29, 2015 From the Changelog looks like that the problem is not related with the L-140 but with the Tank's Laser Range Finder System. Indeed. Yet the problem is manifested when flying the Ka-50. Anyway, I'm glad it's fixed now! :thumbup:
Yeros Posted December 1, 2015 Author Posted December 1, 2015 I still haven't had it light up vs AI tanks. Out of curiosity, which tanks don't light you up?
vicx Posted December 1, 2015 Posted December 1, 2015 I tried all the modern MBTs from both sides and some modern IFVs like BMP3 and M2A2. I will also make a test to see if it only works vs human controlled vehicles.
