VentHorror Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Greetings. This is my first post on the forum, so let me know if I made any mistakes. I'm having some difficulty in locking targets using su-25 (not su-25T) Trying to get the piper to lock ccrp mode causes immediate release of payload. Laser range finder is on. Red light on the right side (CCIP) is OFF. So there is no justified reason for immediate release of ordinance. This video is showing exactly what my problem is. I have configured wcs and lowered glass, turned on the laser. When I press (and hold) the trigger to activate CCRP payload drops instantly. Red light to the right side indicating CCIP is not lit. This happends in pre-made (instant action) "ground attack mission" Also my piper sometimes jumps around on the reflex sight glass. Should I report this as a bug? Help is appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cthulhu68 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 (edited) I just tested and it seemed to work fine. In your video I noticed the red light on left below green laser indicator going on which is a low altitude indicator for weapon. That may be preventing you from using CCRP and going to default CCIP mode. Having problems at higher altitude? For someone new to forum your post was both coherent and well thought out with documentation video to help explain and even placed in the correct sub-forum. Good work and welcome to forum.

mvsgas Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 Should I report this as a bug? I notice this several updates ago. I do not know if it is the intended behavior or accurate (when compared to the RL aircraft) but if you think it is a bug, just follow this steps to report it: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=147710 To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true..

Ironhand Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 ...Should I report this as a bug? Help is appreciated Do report it. Spent some time early this AM trying to get a handle on it. Hard to specify what's happening. It seems to occur more often at altitudes less than 1500 meters (more or less). But I've also had it occur above 3000 meters. I thought it might have something to do with designating the target while in a shallow dive but couldn't really nail it down. I also had it work perfectly across similar situations. One thing I did notice on at least one occasion is that, when it failed, the amber light flashed ever so briefly and the bombs released early. I had to actually slow the track down to make sure that what I thought I saw had actually happened.

VentHorror Posted September 6, 2017 Author Share Posted September 6, 2017 Sometimes it happens after pushing fire button for the second or third time (after a pause, not chaotic) to correct my aim. Having problems at higher altitude? I believe so. just follow this steps to report it: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=147710 Following steps to report a bug leads me back to Opening a new Thread. :smilewink: As I see it this thread Could very well be that bug reporting thread.

cthulhu68 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 . I thought it might have something to do with designating the target while in a shallow dive but couldn't really nail it down. I also had it work perfectly across similar situations. . I was testing again and did notice this with PTAB 1M. Dispensers and MER's had no issue. It is weird can you can press and hold 20 times in a row and see that its working but occasionally it doesn't, and it usually seems to be in shallow dive . Seems to happen when targeting more than a few miles away but not when targeting many miles away or real close if that's a factor. I didn't have the bombs dropping in CCIP though. Just nothing happening with CCRP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just nothing happening with CCRP. I was using MERs with Fab-100s in my tests. All testing was done roughly from the same range (close enough to target a runway) from various altitudes. ... Should a Moderator put [bUG] label? Ask a moderator to note that it's a bug. That will draw attention to it.

Ironhand Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Vent, I've watched your track and noticed that you're amber light flashes every so briefly as well at the point of unauthorized weapon release. As in my case, I had to slow the track down to be sure I had actually seen it. (I actually had to slow it down to 1/64th to capture the screen): I also took control of the mission several times at 16:00:32 (just before you press the "spacebar" key) and was only able to duplicate it once. The remaining times I got the required CCRP drop. So whatever is causing the issue seems to have a fairly narrow window. I'm completely puzzled.

VentHorror Posted September 7, 2017 Author Share Posted September 7, 2017 amber light flashes every so briefly as well at the point of unauthorized weapon release. Indeed. It is as if that flash is caused by my pressing fire, rather than real CCIP approval. ...was only able to duplicate it once After capturing CCRP target, try to release the trigger, then press (and hold) it again as if you wanted to "correct" your aim. Do this several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironhand Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Indeed. It is as if that flash is caused by my pressing fire, rather than real CCIP approval.[/Quote] In flying around after I posted that image, I noticed that the amber light flashed briefly on a few occasions (without the trigger being pulled) as if there was authorization for a CCIP release. The problem was that there shouldn't have been any authorization given the slant range. Don't know what was causing that, either. Perhaps the two are related. After capturing CCRP target, try to release the trigger, then press (and hold) it again as if you wanted to "correct" your aim. Do this several times. I'll give that a try tomorrow.

Do this several times. ...I'll give that a try tomorrow. I see this has been reported. Excellent work, Vent. I did give your suggestion a try and found that it doesn't take long before it happens as long as the dive angle remains shallow. Flew around using the track you posted engaging and canceling CCRP mode. Usually by the 5th or 6th transition, the bombs would release CCIP when they shouldn't have. EDIT: Just want to highlight the fact that this isn't an artifact of this particular mission. It's occurred in test missions I've created as well.

Usually by the 5th or 6th transition, the bombs would release CCIP when they shouldn't have. Thank you. Now that I reanalyze it, It probably couldn't even be called CCIP. (bombs don't actually hit where piper is pointing) Instead payload just drops, as if it were jettisoned but armed. Glad I could contribute.

RivalryRUS Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 This is still an issue as of July 2018. Just encountered this problem learning the aircraft. Seems to happen randomly, can't figure out any pattern to it. Just about a 50 % chance that the bombs are gonna immediately drop at the trigger press when attempting ccrp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideslip Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Just a note that CCRP always works for a single drop. It is only when dropping more than 1 bomb at a time that it glitches. Unfortunately, CCRP is most useful when dropping multiple cluster munitions.

Dr_Arrow Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 As of October 2018, it is still an issue, I've done several bombing tests, but could not find a pattern either when it happens and when not :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Arrow Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Wel,l I have a little hope that this will ever be fixed, but indeed after a lot of testing I have found that if ripple quantity is set to single, the bombs will not be released under any conditions. So the solution is - when ground locking a target, have the ripple quantity set to single and change it to the desired ripple quantity only during your attack run with your trigger held.

159_Archer Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 This issue is still present -it only happens to me (so far) when dropping multiple bombs -and also only the 1st salvo not subsequent ones. Any chance of this being fixed and thus saving xxx hundreds of wasted munitions?!

Dr_Arrow Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) bug still persists as of March 2019 :( yep, the BUG is still kicking strong. Moreover I have also found that when you are releasing multiple bombs without setting any delay it does not appear. So it really happens only on condition when you are releasing multiple bombs with delay. It will probably never be fixed as other Su-25A bugs, even though I think that these bugs are simple fixes. At least we can soon celebrate its second anniversary :) Edited March 18, 2019 by Dr_Arrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owl Dynamic Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 There is a workaround posted in the russian forums which I can confirm works with very limited testing, nvertheless a bug which has to be fixed: The instant CCRP drop happens when the laser was not activated long enough before the drop. Activate the laser 15-30 seconds before holding the trigger and it will not instantly release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gulredrel Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 bump... getting back to FC3 Su-25 I also got the issue today and was wondering why it works sometimes and sometimes not. DCS/2.5.5.41371 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skuva Posted October 16, 2020 Share Posted October 16, 2020 I've been ripping my hair off because of this, doing a lot of tests on both su-25 and su-25t thinking I'm doing something wrong. Now I'm sure it's just a 3 years old reported bug that breakes a core function of a paid module. And we have 0 clue if it is even on the list of "maybe fix someday". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheetah7798 Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Just to confirm what some others have said, It is 100% related to the ripple quantity, or delay interval switches (Not sure if it's one or both). Leaving those switches in default positions has given me flawless CCRP drops though multiple loadouts on the very same aircraft (3+ takeoffs and landings, etc...).
