Strange bug updating WPT via radar fix


Fishbed-21

Recommended Posts

Hello pilots!

Today i was flying in multiplayer in OpenConflict server. In this server there arent any navigation waypoints for the AJS-37. So i've created a single waypoint stored in B1 taking coords (inverted, LO/LA) just for refernce. Basically an assumed target location. When on my way to the target, i could see the enemy ships on my radar. I pressed T1 to start moving the radar cross, then when over the targets, pressed TV to update the B1/M1 wpt. But happened this stange stuff. The cross of the TV fix remained over the targets meanwhile the circle of the waypoint remained over the old waypoints.

Sorry for my bad english.

The picture is taken after the TV fix.

I had this problem a few minutes ago: I performed a radar fix to update a target waypoint in mode NAV/RR and the radar cross got stuck. I could not do anything to get rid of the frozen radar cross on my radar screen. Even turning off the radar did not change it as the radar screen went dark except the cross, which was still glowing on the dark screen. As a result of this I was not able to do any more radar fixes and additionally the HUD indication for bomb attacks did not seem to work too.

Unfortunately I forgot to save a replay :(

I just flew the same mission again (a night attack) and was able to reproduce the bug. As this was supposed to be a bomb attack in radar release mode I was using mode RR on the weapon selector throughout the attack phase. I'm not sure what exactly caused it, but I did the following prior to the bug occuring:

- Overfly nav fix in mode NAV/RR on B2 (the IP).

- Radar nav fix in mode NAV/RR on M3 (the target).

- Overfly nav fix in mode NAV/RR on M3.

- Switching to mode ANF/RR

I think it was at this moment when the bug appeared, but I'm not totally sure. It definately was there when I switched back to mode NAV/RR.

This time I saved a track which I have attached (I hope it's not corrupted), as well as a screenshot with the frozen radar cross after I switched to NAV/RR and A0.

 

On a sidenote: The radar display is currently pretty useless, at least on Nevada. It is barely possible to recognize anything on it, neither terrain nor objects. The only thing I was able to see on the radar display are the big round farms, but that's pretty much it. In the attached mission Iwas trying to make out warehouse buildings on the plain desert surface, but I was not able to recognize them on the radar screen, despite their size. This is why I had to perform an overfly nav fix as well. I'm pretty sure this was better in 1.5 (maybe 2.2 as well).

I had, I think, very similar issue. It seems to me that it's connected to the position of weapon selector knob. Switching it to 'ATTACK' should fix it. As it was some time ago, I'm not sure how it's for other positions but RB75/MARK/DYK will reproduce this as well, I think.

The radar marker and distance markers (when using RB04s or bombs in radar mode) not disappearing when it supposed to is a known issue and on the to do list.

Great, thanks! :thumbup:

In SJÖ position (default position after loading the aircraft, I think) radar fix works too. RB75 position in combination with radar fix is still a no go in 2.5 stable version.
