[FIXED] Selection of bombs in Stores Page after selecting or firing Sparrows

[Spudknocker]

Hey ED thanks again for such an awesome jet that will only get better!

 

I have been consistently running into a bug where I am unable to select bombs whether Mk80 series or cluster munitions after selecting sparrows with the air to air weapon select switch on HOTAS. Sometimes I can get it to work by recycling the master arm, selecting air to ground gun or simply firing or jettisoning all on board AIM-7 Sparrows.

 

This happens in both single and multiplayer and with numerous other players I fly with in multiplayer.

 

Here is a video of what we are experiencing if you speed up to 17:30 you will see our flight engage in a short dogfight with an IRIAF MiG-29 and after we take care of him I try to select my bombs to hit my target and this is where I run into the bug. You can see me trying multiple things to get it to work and the thing that worked in the end was firing my last AIM-7. You can also hear in the voice chat that other players are having the same issue. Below is the attached video evidence.

I can reproduce this. Everytime i load the FA-18C with a mix of Sparrows(2) and in my case MK-82 (8 ) and shoot only one Sparrow, switch from AA to AG mode and try to select the bombs, i have no luck doing so. I have to select the gun(AG) and can then select the bombs.

+1 definite bug

 

I find that if you cycle master arm on and off (sometimes more than once) you can eventually select ground weapons again.

Or just click A/A and than A/G when you encounter the bug. Works instantly for me.

Some Tracks for you ED:

 

1:

- selecting bombs, weverything is fine

- selecting AA and Sparrow

- shooting 1 of 2 Sparrows

- unlock the target and tried several times to select the bombs in AG

- had to select the gun before i could select the bombs again

2:

- just going into AA and selecting the Sparrow

- WITHOUT shooting a Sparrow going to AG and tried to select the bombs

- no luck again

3:

- like Track 1 but this time shooting both Sparrows loaded

- i can select the bombs at the first try!

Here also a very short track : I take off / select A/A sparrow / Lock a target / than go to A/G and try to select bombs or rockets with no luck / than quick click A/A than A/G and than I can select bombs or rockets.

[NO TRACK FILE ATTACHED] Cant select AG wep switching from AA Mode

 

Howdy Gang:

 

 

In the F/A-18C when ever I switch to AA mode and then to AG mode I am unable to select any AG weapon. I have to cycle the Master Arm and AA/AG mode buttons several times in order to select any AG weapon.

This does not occur when going from AG to AA.

 

 

Is this a bug or perhaps a corrupt file or other?

 

 

Thanks

Raise your landing gear first.

Raise your landing gear first.

 

Lol, did I ...... ?

 

EDIT : I don't understand, just watched it again and gears are raised as soon as I took off the deck.

This has been resolved internally and should be pushed out to the next update.

Your track shows gear down.

[toutenglisse]

Your track shows gear down.

 

Honestly this is strange/weird cause when I play this track I see the opposite. (?)

 

 

I remarked recently that tracks can be 100% accurate (I played one of my tracks with rockets training and it was absolutely accurate with my real fly) or totally wrong (on an other track with bombs training my drops in track were hundreds meters away with also totally different approach trajectories from my F-18 )

 

I guess it can't be related with track accuracy as we talk about the same recorded track.

 

I've read that using pause or time speed can mess with the track ??

 

Have a nice day!
