Rocketpods on Magic pylons cause gameCrash

[CrashO]

Since the last beta it is possible to (mis)use the magic pylons for more armaments. So I tried loading the following: (rocket, 530, 82S, 82S, Fuel, 82S, 82S, 530, rocket)

 

 

Loads them just fine. External view looks fine. So I taxi, take off, arm. Select Magic <DCS has stopped responding>.

 

I have tried it on the DCS-NL server and on a local server. A friend tried it on his setup. I tried pressing the magic selector on my stick with master-arm both off ànd on. While in the air and still on the ground. Results where the same every time, full DCS crash to desktop. :(

Thanks, reproduced and reported.

 

It's not a mis-use, by the way. Perhaps the pylons are not the good ones (?) (didn't check) but it's OK to have up to 4 rocket pods i.e. using internal and external wing hardpoints.

 

By the way, no CTD if (external) rocket pods are expended.

 

And FWIW, your loadout is unrealistic: IRL M-2000C can only manage one type of air-to-ground weapons at the same time (+ guns) due to ballistic computer limitation.

I noticed that even If i use Only rockets on both pylones the rockets don't really go where the aiming reticule on the hud is pointing

 

They often go way above the expected impact point

 

I often dive 30 degrees going 350 knots when deploying rockets is this correct way of doing this?

Well, I shot my first rockets with the M-2000 a bit earlier, while replicating the bug from OP description, and they landed precisely on that poor electric station :D

What distance did you fire them from?

Don't remember honestly. Wasn't paying attention.
