QuiGon Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) Since todays update I can't use any countermeassures in any mode when flying as the RIO with a human pilot. The thumb switches won't work, nor do the single release switches on the CM panel (haven't tested the emergency salvo release). How to reproduce: Try to deploy countermeassures as the RIO when flying with a human pilot (maybe even with Iceman). Edit: Forgot to mention: The pilot can deploy countermeassures just fine.

mrkline Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 Video: Amusingly, the flare salvo switch still works. :P
IronMike Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 Thank you for reporting it, it is tracked. A temporary fix is to give the controls to the pilot, the RIO still wont be able to use them, but it should work for the pilot.

Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk Contacts "gliding" off the screen like that is somewhat normal, unless it happens all the time. it means track is lost or updated wrongly, etc, after a while the "real" target should appear again, provided your radar is setup correctly so it can see it. If it is something else, please open a new thread with a screenshot and we will log the issue. Thank you.

SaladParty Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) I also found a temp fix of leaving the plane while it's in the air and rejoining, jester fixes it for some reason. Edit: thank you for the reply, it's something more than that, the alt number next to the dl contact is some huge like like:445472718 and the contacts altitude ranges from -80000 to 80000. If it's not reported by the time I get back on tomorrow I'll get you a screenshot. Edited June 7, 2019 by SaladParty

SaladParty Posted June 7, 2019 Posted June 7, 2019 (edited) Yes I will follow the instructions already provided by ironmike... And the temp fix of leaving the plane mid flight and rejoining is related to the chaff bug and fixes it FYI. Sent from my Pixel 3 using Tapatalk Edited June 7, 2019 by SaladParty
QuiGon Posted June 14, 2019 Author Posted June 14, 2019 Has this been fixed by now? There's nothing on todays changelog. This bug is really gamebraking for me, as I pretty much exclusivly fly the F-14 as a RIO :( Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!
Super Grover Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 It's fixed internally. Today's patch is based on a build we submitted earlier this week, and it doesn't have that fix included. It should be available in the next build Krzysztof Sobczak Heatblur Simulations https://www.facebook.com/heatblur/

MobiSev Posted June 20, 2019 Posted June 20, 2019 Please make a new thread. This is not at all related to the RIO countermeassure problem... Yes it is...if you go to spectator and rejoin the pilot, you will be able to control countermeasures again.

akalegman Posted July 5, 2019 Posted July 5, 2019 Any idea when this will be fixed? It really breaks the immersion as RIO when you spend time doing your setup only for Jester to fiddle with everything whilst you rejoin just so you can use countermeasures.
IronMike Posted July 8, 2019 Posted July 8, 2019 This has been fixed for the latest update. It also worked fine during testing and else we did not get any reports. Are you sure it might not be user error related maybe? Can more confirm that this is still an issue? I will mark it as resolved in the meantime, to avoid confusion, as it should be fixed.

QuiGon Posted July 9, 2019 Author Posted July 9, 2019 (edited) I experienced this bug again yesterday and had to hand over CMs to the pilot because of it. I flicked the flare and chaff mode switches a couple of times during our flight, to give the pilot control over either chaff or flare dispensing, depending on the situation. When we returned back to base and were out of the action I tried using the CMs by myself again and suddenly they worked. I'm pretty sure I had the switches in the correct position when I tried using the CMs at the beginning of the flight. I think flicking the mode switches back and forth in some combination did bypass the bug, but I will have to make a dedicated test flight to be sure and confirm this. Edit: I want to add, that as part of my RIO startup I put the chaff mode switch to off and the flare mode switch to norm as a safeguard to prevent accidental use by me or the pilot (I do the same thing with the bomb fuses which are not set to safe when spawning in for some reason). I did set the chaff mode switch to it's operating position (center position, can't remember what it's called) and the flare mode switch to pilot once we were airborne and before I tried to use the CMs and noticed they don't work.

BULLITT83 Posted July 9, 2019 Posted July 9, 2019 Same here we got the same problem : RIO canno't send chaff or flares.

QuiGon Posted July 10, 2019 Author Posted July 10, 2019 Tried again yesterday and it worked fine, but this time I tried to flick the switches as least as possible. So after spawning in I only flicked the chaff mode switch from off to its center positon and left the flare mode switch in the pilot position. This way it worked fine. I still suspect there is some issue that prevents the use of CMs by the RIO when the switches are in the same position, but after they have been flicked back and fourth in a certain way. I will continue observing. Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!
