Old AI F/A-18

[Capn kamikaze]

I assume this is being totally replaced at some point by the Lot 20?

 

If not, then there is a bug that I've run into, I use it in a support role at the moment since we have no guided A2G weapons, but it seems to not save any load outs in the mission editor, you can create one and assign it to a plane, and it will be in game, but if you then load the mission into the mission editor again, it will have no load outs listed, kind of annoying at the moment.

I had this issue as soon as the Lot 20 came out, and I reported to ED but they couldn't reproduce it, so nothing was done about it.

I'm running across a lot of missing loadouts for AI aircraft.

Which aircraft are effected aside for the original F-18?

 

Also do you see something like this in DCS.log?

Can't speak for other modules, but with simple mission with FA-18c AI and creating a new payload of any sort to be saved as new creates that error:

 

1. dcs - FA-18c Loadout file.txt is with a FA-18c.lua file in the payloads directory.
   
2. dcs - Fa-18c Loadout missing.txt is with NO FA-18c.lua file in payloads directory.
   

Exert of errors created in Log related to FA-18c, seems to be looking to create an "F/A-18C.lua" or an "F" directory and a "A-18C.lua" file.

dcs - FA-18c Loadout file.txt

dcs - Fa-18c Loadout missing.txt

Not finding any reference to an F/A-18C.lua in the log at all, or FA-18C.lua, there are references to "fa-18c" but not any lua extensions on it.

[Capn kamikaze]

Now I do have a file for the FA-18C in the user payloads section, but looking at the entries in it it clearly refers to the lot 20, since one of the listed load outs includes the double launch rail for the AIM-120.

 

The folder also contains files for other AI aircraft, I have for example a file for the B-1B, F-15E, F-16C and Su-24M, so my guess is that there is a conflict in the file naming system for the AI Hornet and the player Hornet.

WOuld the slash in f/a make DCS think it was separate folders called f and a18-c

 

LOL Just read the subsequent reply
