Open Beta 21 Nov 2018 Autodrop non functional

[Regular Greyman]

I guess the fix did not make it into today's patch. It's not listed in the patch notes.

I wouldn’t exactly call it fixed. There are now an array of weird issues with AUTO mode. If you place it in auto and press pickle at any time things get wonky. First, press and release pickle and then use cage/uncage to switch to CCIP and your bombs drop as soon as you switch mode even though you’re no longer holding pickle. Also if you press and release pickle then fly towards your target the bomb will release as soon as the fall line hits your VV, as if you were still holding down pickle. Once this happens the 4 line “Barber Pole” won’t go away and you won’t be able to release any remaining weapons.

Please submit a track file.

 

A track file is useful when you encounter these issues.

It is really hard to try to duplicate your actions. The track file records all your movements, including switches clicks and allows us to see what is happening.

Here are two tracks, in the first I start in auto, press pickle, switch to CCIP and bombs release. In the second, I am in AUTO, press pickle and release. Despite not holding down pickle bombs are released when the timer hits zero and I'm stuck with the 'barber pole' and have to press pickle again to get AUTO HUD symbology back.

Any acknowledgement of this as an issue? I’m not seeing anything in bug tracker.

CCRP autodrop is working here I believe, ever since the last few patches.

There was only one patch since Subferro confirmed the bug with his two .TRKs, about ten days ago, and that was the 2.5.4 patch of this week.

 

But I will re-check it anyways.

I've done a training session today. Air start, Mk-82 AIR and Snakeyes, MK-83, MK-20. I Noticed inconsistencies with the weapon control systems. Sometimes, when Mk-20 were fired from the external station, they fall few hundreds meters before the target.

 

 

 

I also had trouble with release intervals, sometimes, press the weapon release 3-5s before release and nothing happened. I check my settings and everything was correct.Tried again, still no bombs drop. Changed the Interval setting and then bombs dropped. I've done pretty much all of my runs at aproximately 500kts and 5000fts (500fts for AIR/Snakeyes).

 

 

 

I can't provide details right now, I'll try to do it later with tracks if they work.

 

But overall, the Auto mode seems to be working for me (I don't have any knowledge of the in-depth functionalities of the Harrier's bombing modes and how they should work/behave).
