[RESOLVED] Missing bomb/rocket rack in some loadout

[Mirknir]

When I rearm with the loadout in the screenshot, I don't have racks inbetween my bombs or rockets and the belly of the F14 like you can see on the screenshot.

 

It's not critical but I figured I would still report it.

 

Thanks

This bug was existing before and after last update (2.5.6.45317). For example loadout - mk81-14, mk-82-14, BDU 31?32*14.

Any information about this? Is this being worked on?

[Rayak]

Same issue with mk82 SE

[Magot]

mee too! Proble with MK82s!

[near_blind]

Not a bug, per se, but the art work for the belly racks hasn't been completed. No mentioned of an ETA either.

Same way the extra LAU-7 Sidewiner rails still aren't textured one year in and we still dont heve the 14B engine instruments. But hey "later in EA" right...

Yeah. They have other priorities right, although even the simplest fixes takes months... :lol:

 

How hard is it to just update those since it takes pretty much one day to make those changes if you are decent with texture editing.

I can't seem to remember seeing this though, I definitely would have noticed it earlier if it was like this on release. If the racks were never there, how were the bombs placed before?

[SignorMagnifico]

I am also having this issue with the bomb racks rendering for certain loadouts. They work fine for Mk84s; however, for Mk83s and under the bombs appear to be floating underneath the Tomcat. Running DCS 2.5.6.50979 open beta.

KNOWN ISSUE: some bomb rack models are not yet visually implemented (but they're there and work)

[Blinde]

Over a year and still not implemented :music_whistling:

[GunSlingerAUS]

Yeah, any update? My bombcat looks weird with these floating bombs magically hanging underneath.

[Mirknir]

Came back to the F14 after 8 month and it's still not fixed!

Is this going to be fixed for the next big update you guys are releasing the 18th? I don't see anything in your release posts.

[ouky1991]

This is taking way too long. It's not one of those barely noticable visual bugs, this one is pretty obvious. Can we please have this fixed?

Yeah it is very annoying. for some reason HB just don't put some racks and they make the most detailed plane look most funny.

they even added walkman thing to the tomcat but they can't find time to fix this simple thing for years

[RustBelt]

It's weird, whole aircraft models have come out since but a bomb rack is apparently the hardest thing ever to model. 

[IRememberJeep]

Just went to use bombs after purchasing the F-14, horrified, immediately found this thread. Yikes. Won’t even bother asking for word on an ETA from someone in the know as this thread was started back in March. A bit surprising the A was rolled out before something so obvious that’s wrong with the B. One would think at the least the fix would have come at the same time.

 

Granted it’s not game breaking but I think it’s reasonable to expect a fix for bomb racks within 9 months. Then again...perhaps not.

Mk82

Сonfirm the problem 

2021...

 

[ebabil]

you don't know the truth. F14 has MBR tech (magnetic bomb rack) Which provides zero friction, zero speed loss

[WaffenCat]

HB, when this be fixed?

[Northstar98]

Yeah, it's honestly getting tiring, the F-14 is the only module with this problem, despite probably being one of the highest quality ones.

 

In 2 months time, this issue will be celebrating its 2nd birthday, alongside the LAU-138 not only being untextured, but appearing as LAU-7 in the loadout and vice versa.

It's WIP and it's EA. If they did feature roadmap poll we could vote but they did not. So you can only wait just like others are waiting for pilot body (gues who), CVN-59, A-6, Jester LANTIRN...

It was answered many times that it's very rare or even non-existant IRL config but possible - thus we have it working but model will come later at low priority. I am amazed and shocked however to see the HB actually used it in their official campaign!

Anyway, how do you see that from the cockpit? On a wingman perhaps on the deck only.

[ebabil]

This doesn't change the fact that a simple rack texture is missing for 2 years. 

We cannot see most of the plane body from the cockpit. So why don't they just model the cockpit only?

@ebabilTo see other Tomcats and do a walkaround
