[INVESTIGATING]5 Mk. 84 bombs bug out stores page.

[Airhunter]

So I was doing a sortie in the Hornet with 4x AGM-88C's, returned to base and rearmed with 5x Mk. 84's. Once airborne when selecting the 84's on the stores page I could not set up the fusing or release option, not step through the stores. So I think this might be a bug. See attached screenshot.

Hi

 

do you have a track replay?

 

I am trying to reproduce but have been unable so far.

 

thanks

[Airhunter]

No, I don't. What would a trackfile do? I already described how this happened. I'll do some tests and see if I can reproduce it. Either arm 5 Mk. 84's or arm 4x HARM's before that, fire them all off, rtb and then arm Mk. 84's.

Hi

 

With a track replay I would be able to see what you are experiencing.

 

I have tried to reproduce the issue but I was unable.

 

You can save a track replay after you exit the mission during the debrief window.

 

and it can be found in your saved games location, Example below.

Well, it was a long multiplayer mission, here is the track file.

Thanks for trying Airhunter

 

The track is over 300MB and wont play back correctly, this can happen with larger tracks especially with MP.

 

I will keep an eye out for this issue, if you do see it again please let me know.

I was able to play it back.

I've had a similar issue with other weapons, it happens if you move after the weapons are loaded onto the plane but before the ground crew say "rearming complete".

The weapons appear visually and on the stores page, but you can't set fuses etc or use them.

That is a separate bug really, but could that be what happened in this case?

I will try again, tracks can be very temperamental.

This might have been the case, yes. It rearmed me but did not refuel for soeme reason, so I pressed refuel and rearm again and started rolling once the refueling was done.

I have tried again to watch the track but it was corrupted for me ( your f-18 crashes soon after take off ) Tracks can behave this way sometimes so do not worry.

 

It maybe a possible cause if you have rolled out before the full rearm process has completed.

 

I will keep an eye on this issue.

 

thanks
