streamcap Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) I have searched the forums far and wide but I can't find anyone else who has reported this: The ARAK-AP rocket pods seem to not register as weapons. Prerequisites: * Aircraft armed exclusively with ARAK-AP, starting either cold, hot on runway or in air * Weapons selector turned to ATTACK Performed action: 1. Turn master dial from NAV to ANF 2. Safety switch to off 3. Pull trigger Expected result: * HUD shows ARAK reticle * Fire rockets Actual result: * HUD stays in NAV mode * Not able to fire rockets VARIANT: Mixed loadout ARAK-AP and ARAK-HE (1+3, 2+2 tried) Actual result: * HUD shows ARAK reticle * Able to fire HE rockets only, AP rockets stay in pods Can anyone confirm this?

Rex854Warrior Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 Same problem here, attacked a convoy with mixed pods, only the HE rockets fired, AP stayed in the pods. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
razo+r Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 Have you tried it without mix as it is stated in the manual?
streamcap Posted July 20, 2017 Author Posted July 20, 2017 Have you tried it without mix as it is stated in the manual? Yes, as it is stated in the first prerequisite line "Aircraft armed with ARAK-AP". Original post amended to read "Aircraft armed exclusively with ARAK-AP".
Ragequits Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 Just tried it very quickly and can confirm it on first glance. He works, Ap does not fire.
mattebubben Posted July 20, 2017 Posted July 20, 2017 Same problem here. HE Rockets work AP do not. and if you carry a mix of HE and AP the AP rockets will remain in the pod as the HE rockets are launched. Have not had this problem before this last patch so it seems to be a recent problem.
Rex854Warrior Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 Not fixed in the latest 1.5.7 update, ARAK-AP rockets do not fire in any circumstances. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Knock-Knock Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 Oh thank you for this. Finally my head can rest. Been banging my head against the wall, on what I was doing wrong, what step or steps I was missing. I never tried the HE, only the AP :). - Jack of many DCS modules, master of none. - Personal wishlist: F-15A, F-4S Phantom II, JAS 39A Gripen, SAAB 35 Draken, F-104 Starfighter, Panavia Tornado IDS. | Windows 11 | i5-12400 | 64Gb DDR4 | RTX 3080 | 2x M.2 | 27" 1440p | Rift CV1 | Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS | MFG Crosswind pedals |
streamcap Posted October 22, 2017 Author Posted October 22, 2017 (edited) Update: bug is still present, at least in multiplayer. I haven't tried it in single player yet, will check back when I do. EDIT: Tried in multiplayer mission on version 1.5.7.10872. Edited October 22, 2017 by streamcap Added version

RagnarDa Posted November 3, 2017 Posted November 3, 2017 The next patch will fix this. It may or may not be in the Steam-release though. DCS AJS37 HACKERMAN There will always be bugs. If everything is a priority nothing is.
