Chaff bug

[BadHabit]

42-22

48-16

46-18

52-12

 

All this are working for me the only strange thing I come across is that on 42-22 setting the ground crew fills the buckets for only 40-20. I assume you know that you need always to double the amount of flares vs chaff to get it work.

Works in instant missions (tested the "ground attack" one), doesn't seem to work in custom ones.

 

Edit: haven't tried the "double rule" as posted by BadHabit above yet.

 

Edit2: Yep, the rule works :D.

cannot confirm this. the inconsistent behavior continues.

 

default chaffs/flares load in mission editor shows 30/30. i have a clean test mission, just my mig and an enemy f-16, air start. when i start the mission from editor for the FIRST time, the aso-2 works.

 

if i release some countermeasures and then quit the mission and chose "re-fly" the countermeasure DO NOT work at all. please note: i tried this several times, sometimes, very rarely it might work on the second re-fly. usually don't..

 

it is not enough to test this once, the behavior changes between missions (and not restarting the whole program).

 

also, when quitting back to mission editor and changing the countermeasure manually to 40/20 or 42/22, saving the mission and selecting fly again (without restarting DCSW), it won't work either... only if i RESTART the program completely (or in very rare cases randomly maybe).

Is this bug still happening for everyone? I seem to have this problem in 2.0.5.

 

And is LN aware / willing to fix this bug?

Still have it. The bug is more than a year old. I reported it again on the bug tracking site about a month ago when I didn't see any mention of it there.

Thanks for reporting it. I wanted to check it out the other day, but the bug tracker site has been down again so I couldn't.

 

I deleted my previous post, in which I was obviously a bit concerned about how long those bugs seem to remain (even when the patch is provided by the reporter), especially a critical one like an interceptor being often without countermeasures to defend itself.

 

Let's just hope they'll take care about the MiG when they have more time... ;)

If any of you can give Leatherneck better information that I could it might be helpful. The best I can observe about this bug is that sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't.

I couldn't find any reliable pattern about it :/

 

You'd probably best increase the severity, this one is honestly more than minor, and seeing I have a few bugs reported back in early November with minor priority that haven't even been looked at, this one could remain for quite a while... ;)

[gavagai]

It will not allow me to edit the bug severity.:(

[Redglyph]

Ah well, they'll surely see it at some point :)

If not after one year, they might catch it after a second?:shifty:

[Redglyph]

When all MiG-21s are downed by enemies and nothing is left to repair, they'll have to notice :D

Hoping it gets squared away at some point. Don't like fighting with one arm tied behind your back. Jealous to see all the other fighter types dispensing with ease... :-(

 

Otherwise, I love flying this bird.
