Hi Zeus, I've notice in my previous game sessions that when deploying mark82 bomb loaded on triple racks, the release sequence causes model clipping and asymmetric drag (only visually), this isn't game breaking and does not affect game play at the moment.

Currently when 2 bombs are released in pairs, the bombs on the upper right(or left depending on which way you are looking)always gets dropped first, regardless of which wing the rack is on.

 

This can cause asymmetric drag, resulting in drag induced yaw, although for now I believe it's only affecting the visuals.

 

Another problem is that, since the bomb on the upper connector gets dropped first, it will hit the bomb carried on the lower connector, which is apparently a bad thing to happen. Again, this happens only visually, and doesn't do any harm to the plane itself during game play.

 

Here is a screenshot showing both problems. Note that the bomb on the left side of the image is clipping, and how the loading on other racks are aerodynamically asymmetrical.

The bugs are easy to recreate and happens every time when deploying said weapons, so only a screenshot is included. So far I've only tested the standard Mk82s so not sure if it happens with other triple bomb racks.

 

I understand the painful process of digging into weapon lua files, so I wouldn't suggest putting this at high priority, keep it as a record and get to it when more serious problems are dealt with.

 

Thanks for the wonderful module!

The bombs in triple racks are DCS' default loads. I'll check to see if I can find a solution.
