[REPORTED]Mortars wont fire in 1.5.4

[gunterlund21]

Place a mortar on the map. Give it a target. It never fires. Speed up clock. 10 minutes still no firing. Are place mortars ending up on the map with no ammo?

Oh no.. can anyone confirm that bug? I am at work currently.

My mission I am building relies on a mortar firing on a friendly site. Mission making is very frustrating when every update causes missions not to work anymore.. :(

 

I assume you also placed some infantry in the same group to operate the mortar?

working for me, please provide a track or mission file

10 minutes still no firing.

 

I played a mission yesterday where I flew in a mortar team, gave them a target, and flew away. They fired 100% A-OK as tasked.

 

This was in the latest Openbeta flying an Mi-8.

mortar no fire

 

go in as tact commander and set target on btr. Mortar never fires.

edit, I may have found the problem, give me some more time to look into it

 

second edit:

 

I have made the devs aware, after mission reload it did not fire, but on a fresh mission it was fine. Dont know the reason, hopefully they will find out

Looks like mortars are fixed. Thanks DCS.

Hmmm, last night on the latest v1.5.4 two groups of Paladins would not fire... The mission was carried over from v1.5.3.

was the mission re-saved in 1.54?

 

if you can attach the mission I will take a look

 

thanks

Yes, it was saved on v1.5.4 yesterday late afternoon before I ran it. I'd moved two Blue Paladin groups closer to Kutaisi Airbase and set both to fire on the base and was within the ranging circle. Both groups pointed their barrels to the targets but never fired, and the darn Tunguska ate up a bunch of my attacking armor! See attached.

Thanks

 

over 1000 units! :) that is one busy mission

 

I am seeing the same, they are not firing.

 

I will try and reproduce in a simple mission and report.

[BIGNEWY]

they are working in a simple mission,

 

this will take some more investigation

:-)

 

You may have seen this post about Part Of Coalition Out Of Zone, in a simple mission test I found the problem associated with a Late Activated group, in that case a helicopter.
