reported A10C II - Losing the CCIP gun reticle

[Sapper31]

Has anyone experienced losing the the CCIP gun reticle when using the C II? It works right away but some point in flight as I flip through the various hud pages and use the various sensors, I come back to my gun and the CCIP gunsight is just gone. The other sights like the cross and 3 different range dot sight works, but my lead computing sight doesnt return. Im on VR if that makes a difference.

I had it happen last night when I was playing around. Once I deselected everything from the DSMS page, I was able to get the reticle back on the HUD. Would be interested if ED says that is normal or not.

I get the same problem.

Same thing happened with me, the gun reticle wasn't visible, only the cross hairs. I figured I'd switched something off while I was tinkering around with the weapon loadout. I'm also using VR.

Maybe you accidentally switched to a different crosshair with DMS LEFT/RIGHT with HUD as SOI. We use COOLIE UP a lot now to make HMCS SOI, so it's easy to make a mistake and press inputs on the HUD.

I just cycled the sights really quickly and the computing sight was there.

No, this happens for some other reason — maybe vaguely related to having switched around or selected weapons in CCRP mode — where you can flip through all the crosshair options but only the manual-depression variants show up. Anything that should be driven by CCIP calculations is just gone.

 

The reason I'm suggesting a CCRP connection is that at some point it did show up for me, but with CCRP cues(!)… for the gun… :huh:

 

It almost seemed like the fire control got confused about what weapon should use what mode, and the regular gun master mode no longer had any delivery options assigned to it. Doing pretty much a complete reset of the armament setup — deselect and safe everything — would get things back to normal, but everything became very nonsensical before that. It was as if it failed to properly switch out to GUN mode from any of the regular CCIP/CCRP delivery modes, so some other weapon was “secretly selected” in the background, interfering with the gun cues.

Yup, something is up, I couldn't find the gun sight last night either. Next time I witness it I'll save a track.

I've had the same problem, I haven't been able to pin it down to a specific set of circumstances yet.

[RaisedByWolves]

This happened to me. I cycled the gun switch off and on and it came back.

This appears to happen when you select a GBU54 and then use the master mode button to go back to guns. You still have the fixed gunsights and the CCIP gun cross but the gun donut disappears until you deselect the GBU54.

It appears that the GBU38, GBU31(V)3/B, and GBU31(V)1/B also cause this to happen.

Hello,

 

I'm not sure if this is a bug or by design.

I encountered the following behavior after the update of the Open Beta of November 4, 2020.

 

Summary

If a GBU-38 or GBU-54 is selected in the DSMS page the round CCIP Gun Reticle is missing in GUNS mode.

 

Steps to reproduce

1. Start "Instant Action" -> "A-10C II" -> "Easy East Georgia - Spring"

2. Select GBU-38 in DSMS page

3. Use Master Mode Control button to cycle back to GUNS mode

 

Actual result

The round CCIP Gun Reticle is missing and not displayed on the HUD.

Only when the GBU-38 is deselected on the DSMS page ("WPNS OFF") the reticle will be displayed again.

 

Expected result

The round CCIP Gun Reticle is displayed on the HUD even if GBU-38 is still selected in DSMS.

 

When repeating these steps with the old A-10C module I get the expected result.

 

Best regards

Thanks for pointing that out. I updated my post as "duplicate".

[Gizmo03]

I recently came back to the A-10C II and noticed the issue with the gun reticle. Is the bug still in or was it fixed in the meanwhile and is back again?

[DimSim]

Same here. Came here looking for answers.

In case it's helpful to devs or pilots I've found that sometimes if your current steerpoint (not SPI, steerpoint) is above your current flight altitude, you get lots of weird targeting behavior. The disappearing gun or rocket reticle is one symptom. "Invalid fuzing" for CBUs, as though you were below the HOF, is another. Invalid CCIP for either CCIP gun reticle, even when pointed at the ground, is another. Changing your steerpoint (not SPI, steerpoint) to something on the ground, even if far away, seems to fix it.

 

I see this often in missions where you're searching an area and have a bunch of waypoints at angels 10 or 15. You descend to attack something on the ground and your targeting systems go berserk. Setting your current steerpoint back to 0/init pos seems to make things work again.

Hmmm, I’m going to give this a whirl and report back. Thanks for the heads up!
