[NO BUG] Payload not available in multiplayer

[pierrewind]

I assume this is related to the recent changes to DCS weapon encoding, but in multiplayer some external fuel tanks and the super 530D aren't available. This has been tested on multiple servers and reported by multiple users. 

It seems ok in singleplayer.

Couldn't it be liked to the airport warehouse missing the tanks and missiles on the multiplayer missions ?

I guess, it may be related to the mission. I tried 3 different servers yesterday, all having the same issue (Aerobatics Europe, Aerobatics Online, Blue flag 80s). 

I just checked now, one of these is now fixed. So I'd guess you are right. Something in 2.7.0.5118 might have changed and requires a mission rebuild.

Thanks for the tip  I'll do a bit more investigation.

And so I did a bit more investigation. It appears that when loading an older mission, two of the four fuel tank types aren't available in the inventory.

Old mission:

 

New Mission:

All of that is likely related to this similar issue:

Ok, thanks for the report and investigation.

 

Just to be sure, this is not a problem specific to the Mirage, it's a DCS issue, is that right ?

[pierrewind]

That seems to be the case. 

Our investigation showed it is an issue with the warehouse in DCS. It didn't like the last update...

Ok thanks I will move it in the resolved bug section then, add a response to it if you find something that is not due to DCS but to the mirage.
