Zeus67 Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 The laser code bug is fixed. No CTDs. I don't know if the bomb is tracking since I don't have means to test it. Perhaps I'll fly in MP but somebody will have to guide me. I'll ask ED for a hotfix for this issue.

nomdeplume Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) Attached is a simple test mission with a script that will lase a group of 4 tanks, positioned in the centre of the abandoned airfield in front of you. Each time a target is destroyed it will automatically shift the laser spot to the next target. (To clarify, this mission uses the Black Sea map.) Starting position is close-ish so you'll need to be fairly quick on the switches to set up for the attack. I haven't been able to test it with the M2000C as my game crashes as soon as I enable master-arm and select a GBU. I've put the loadout as 4x GBU-12 to match the four targets. I also added an A-10C with 4x GBU-12s just to verify that the guidance actually worked. If you want to test with the A-10 you'll need to quickly select GBU-12 CCRP mode; waypoint should be on TARGETS which will place the bombs close enough to guide. The script uses the Spot.createLaser() function to create the laser spot and is hard-coded to use 1688. (It also creates an IR spot, but shouldn't be relevant.) It also logs (to dcs.log) messages about which target is currently being lased if you want to verify it's running properly within the mission. (I like mTAIL for monitoring the logfile.)Lase-Test.miz Edited January 23, 2016 by nomdeplume Adjust ROE/visibility to ensure AI units lasing the tanks isn't attacked

zerO_crash Posted January 23, 2016 Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) Seems to work, BUT: - Bomb latches only if you pickle it AFTER laser is on and lasing. If you release before laser is painting, it won`t recognize the laser. - The CTD still persists upon choosing GBU`s, causes crash most of the time. It might be of some help: I noticed that it crashes for me only with EFI (GBU12) if I select it right away after arming the system. If I Arm, choose MAG, then CAS (guns), then finally press EFI, it works like a charm. Doesn`t crash at all. zerO Edited January 23, 2016 by zerO_crash [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

SamUrEye Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 Selecting bombs crashes the game I got 2 rocket pods and 2 bombs in the loadout but when I tried to select a bomb the game crashes. Any idea why?
joey45 Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 What are the bombs? The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Sk1nn3r Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Known bug. Has been fixed in Razbams' list of fixes that (hopefully) should be out in the next patch. A work around for now is to select them right away once you take off. That way you don't have to waste more time flying to the tgt area and a crash to happen there.

Doum76 Posted February 17, 2016 Posted February 17, 2016 Was doing some test to see what also on my side makes it crash and just came up with something odd, i tried to get all station empty and only load a single GBU on all station at a time and see if it works with only 1 station loaded, nothing on other stations ans discovered something odd, station 7 seems to be bugged, when you only load a single bomb, not matter what, i tried with a single GBU-12 and a single MK-82, when looking on F2 view, you clearly see the bomb on the station, but you get nothing on the PPA Panel, no loads at all, then i tried a single MK-82 on station 7 and a GNU-12 on station 3, then on the PPA all i see is EF1, no BL1 at all.

I'll check, but this is a different bug.
