metalfan_6666 Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 I also deactivated (or deinstalled) my mods, and it still didnt work. I reinstalled them now, however, i've found some kind of go-around. Before you start the mission, you can remove the pistol in the mission planner, which works fine for me.

Madcop Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Seems buggy indeed. My method is the following. In ME choose No Flare then save the mission. Then Fly and the Flare gun is always there. Quit the mission and klick "Fly again". The Flare gun has disappeared. Strange but working ! Madcop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rel4y Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I think its the mission editor that is somehow bugged. I started missions several times with changed aircraft altitude for speed testing and it didnt accept the change.

metalfan_6666 Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 I just found out that there's the same problem with the huey, you also can't save changes you made. So it seems to rather be a general problem, not just the 109. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeCuvier Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Bf-109K Flare Gun cannot be effectively removed in ME Since the new update 1.5.3, i somehow can't remove the signal pistol anymore in the mission editor... I have seen the same. Did a few tests and reported to Support: "!I have removed the flare gun in the ME. But when the mission is run for the first time the flare gun is in place and hides the propeller pitch indicator. When I abort the mission and use "Fly again", the flare gun is not there. When I exit the mission and select it again from the list of missions the flare gun is in place again. And when I go back to the ME I find that the flare gun is present. The removal of the flare gun in ME is apparently not saved when I save the mission. So the flare gun handling is quite inconsistent. This is disturbing as the flare gun obstructs the view on the propeller pitch indicator which I need for take-off and landing." My work-around: start the mission and abort it right away. Then start it again using the "Fly Again" button.

metalfan_6666 Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 Thanks for the report. But you can just go to the mission planer before the mission and remove it there, so you don't have to restart it and wait 2 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlipBall Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) Yes I am having the same problem...unable to remove pistol in the editor..:doh: ...in my opinion it should be that if you want the pistol you would have to select that...in other words they have this backwards, where the gun's presence is default Edited February 23, 2016 by GT 5.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeCuvier Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Is the flare gun controlled by a .LUA file? Getting tired of having to remove the flare gun all the time... Is flare gun visibility controlled by a .lua file? If it is I would want to modify that .lua file - even if that means I have to re-do it after the next upgrade. I checked a few .lua files but didn't find anything.

Blackcloud Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) I can't remove the signal pistol for all that version 1.5.3 came out. Also the file merge option in steam doesn't help. As i remove the pistol in the mission editor and save it, it would appear automatically after reload the mission. Edit: Got a new update today over steam... now it works!

LeCuvier Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Could some one please tell me how to remove the flare gun. thanks You have to do it in the Mission Editor, and that means you have to do it for every mission where you want to get rid of ther flare gun. In the ME, select your fighter and then look at the right-hand pane. Above the waypoint data frame there is a row of 7 buttons. The rightmost button looks like a house. Click that button and set the "Flare Gun Port" option to "None".
