potential weapon configuration bug

[witness_me]

I'm not sure if this a bug or expected behaviour and ignorance on my part:

 

I created a load-out with 2 * g10, 1 * wmd, 2 * pl5, 4 * g12 (two/pylon, loaded on a rack).

 

 

Configured profiles:

- A/S1 with the G10's, set the fuze to n+t / auto mode, quantity 1, 1k ft altitude etc

- A/S2 with the G12's, again set the fuze to n+t etc

 

After I release either a G10 or G12, it seems that the profile resets back to the defaults, e.g. the 2nd G10 will have a default fuze of safe etc. Is this expected behaviour (we can only set up the profile for one munition at a time) or ?

Remember the profile has to be set on all weapon stations. Make sure you cycle between stations and set the profiles equally. Otherwise, yes, the weapon station you did not modify will have the default (unarmed) profile.

can you describe the process please?

Yes, sir. Here you go

Thanks so much CHRISXTR3M3 !

 

Can someone verify my assumptions below are correct? The workflow around weapons configuration/employment seems to be a bit off, is this really how the jeff works or because it's early access some feature is missing etc? Apologies in advance if that's all documented somewhere - I couldn't find anything relevant

 

 

- there are 6 profiles in total for air to surface weapons (a/s1 - a/s6) + 2 for AA. Each pylon under a profile has to be set individually. If you're packing just one a/s weapon (e.g. gbu 12) you'll still get 6 profiles for a/s, all configuring the gbu12. If you have 2 a/s weapons (g12 + g10) 3 profiles will be assigned to the g12 and three to the g10 etc

- there's no way to delete or add profiles

- applying profiles to weapons can only take place after take off if you have more than one stations with the same weapon (as the weapon station selection button, hotas s5, toggles nws when landed)

- the workflow during an engagement seems a bit convoluted: let's assume I'm using a loadout of 2*gbu10 and 2*gbu12's (single munition per pylon), if i drop a g12 (profile a/s2), i then have to cycle all the way back to profile a/s1, using s8, in order to be able to use the g10 with the right settings, the profile information is visible only on the MFCDs, not the hud

 

Thanks!
