[RESOLVED] Guided weapons not working on latest beta update

[pacastro]

Hi, just updated to 2.7.4.963 and guided weapons are not working.

 

If I try to use laser guided rockets, or laser guided mavericks or IR guided maverick they aren't working for me now. Worked fine on previous version.

 

When I select the weapon, they get selected, but the pylon selected display just goes off and you don't get displayed any of the options for the selected weapon... IR Mavs won't get the stby indicator of cooling down either. For laser Mavs, I can't get the laser search to start searching.

Same for me!

[Aernov]

The issue seems to be caused by TPod video feed/HOTAS mode. IR Mavericks and other weapons work fine on their own and with DMT/LST, but, if TPod is in HOTAS mode (SSS down twice) or, maybe, just when TPod video is on the MPCD, all weapons (I have tried Mk.20, GBU-16, GBU-54, APKWS) aren't displaying attack symbology on HUD, stations aren't boxed on STRS (but weapon name stays boxed in the top MPCD border), and when you attempt to select ordnance, attack symbology and STRS selection briefly flashes and drops again, HUD shows only dashes indicating "no ordnance".

The procedure has been changed. I do not fully understand it yet 

 

[Aernov]

The procedure involves only LMAVs, but currently all weapons seems to be affected.

Aernov is right.  Here's a track of the issue. This happens even when following the updated procedures. The track file is me trying to use a L/E2 Maverick according to the new procedure. As you can see, the weapon is not able to be selected properly, let alone uncaged, when the TPOD video is active on any MFD. Weapons can be selected just fine when the TPOD video is off.

Yeah, I've tried with APKWS, GBU12, GBU38, LMavs (E2). Bascially can't fire anything with the TPOD up. This is a track trying to use a GBU38 - won't let me select the station or set a fuze and no attack symbology.

Okay, but did you pay attention to what is in the Word file? 

And also note today's changelog: 

• Updated: AGM-65 restrictions and limitations.
• Improved: Sensor Select Switch (SSS) logic and keybinds. Note: SSS keybinds must be done again

Yes. Did you? This change is concerned with the confliction of Maverick vs TPOD video display and the inability to self-lase the AGM-65E. I reproduced the error in my track file by following that procedure. 

 

The track posted by shiroka shows this bug affected weapons that are not part of those changes

[Aernov]

There is a quick fix in Razbam discord. It will probably be posted on the forum soon.

No I did not. I deleted both modules from RB. Since, as things are currently going, I am simply not interested in their 'products' ...

I didn't try until I installed the Hotfix file. All SEEMS to be working for me.  Tried AGM-65E2, AGM-65F, GBU-12 and APKWS.

 

As reported elsewhere, the TPOD ZOOM buttons appear to be reversed.

Hi guys, this issue look to be the one we fixed with this quick-fix : 

 

 

Could you install it and try again ? Thanks.

[Recluse]

As mentioned above, with the Hotfix, all the guided weapons seem to be working fine, (FOR ME) but the ZOOM UP (IN) and DOWN (OUT)  buttons on the TPOD page are still reversed. Not sure if there were changes to the Hotfix since I downloaded it from Discord.

No it's the same file, I'll report the zoom button inversion. Thanks

[Sindar]

Installed a hotfix. Works in the mission editor. It does not work in online mode.

 

P.S. You better not update this poor T P O D

[Recluse]

Maybe the HOST/server didn't have the Hotfix? I wouldn't think that would affect anything on the client side. Haven't tried it in Multiplayer yet.

[Sindar]

I think so too.

 

[pacastro]

The hotfix worked for me in multiplayer.

[Mr_sukebe]

Couple of things to note chaps:

 - The hotfix needs to be put into the main DCS install, and NOT your saved games.  Won't work in the saved games folder

 - The Mav Ls seem to need warmup even on a hot start.  Confused me for a few mins until I realised

[myHelljumper]

Hi,

 

This has been fixed in the last OB update.

 

Moving to resolved, thanks for the report.
