[FIXED] Some weapon parameters in the SMS are not reset when the DTC is reloaded

[Mirknir]

[Please move this into the bug section ; I posted in the wrong channel]

 

When changing weapons and reloading the DTC ; some weapon parameters in the SMS are not reset and it can cause bugs.

Example: if you set a quantity of 6 with a weapons ; the next equipped weapon will keep this value

 

Repro steps:

 

Jump into a hot JF-17

Ask for 6 GBU 12
Update / Reload DTC
Go to A2G Mode
Go to SMS 
Choose GBU12
Set Quantity to 6

 

Fly, drop the bombs and come back 
OR
Just stay on the ground

Now, ask only for for BRM Rockets
Update / Reload DTC
Go to A2G Mode
Go to SMS 
Choose BRM
The quantity is still 6 and if I try to change it '-3' appears

 

 

Adding screenshots

 

Thanks

Yep, I have encountered this a while back with other weapons as well. ie the LD-10s will have a weird targeting mode or firing amount if I reload DTC from another weapon type.

 

I do know of a workaround: Re-select the weapon using MFCD L3 in your currently selected profile. That will properly reset the profile to the weapon defaults and it will also let you set new options properly.
