reported KMGU Dispenser or Bombs cant fire in cold started helicopter

[Picure]

I have done some testing both in MP and SP and confirmed that the KMGU Dispenser or Bombs are unable to be fired in a cold start helicopter. Only when a helicopter is spawned in hot that the bombs and dispensers would work. I saw only one post about this on Jul 2nd (KMGU Munitions Dispenser not working after cold start. - DCS: Mi-24P Hind - ED Forums (eagle.ru) and it seems like other people are having the same problem. I even tried using the dispensers in the cold start tutorial (by loading the dispensers before the startup procedure) and they still dont work. And yes, I am using a preset loadout.

 

I am really surprised that this has not been addressed, even after the new update.

Hi,

 

please include a short track replay showing the issue so we can check the same circumstance. 

 

thanks

This should be the track for an MP mission where I tried to use the KMGU dispensers. Im not sure how to get single player tracks.

When you exit the mission you'll get a debriefing window, and there will be a save track button, so long as it isn't a training mission.

@Picure Watched your replay. Next time you deploy either bombs or KMGU, try raising your landing gear. Bombs/KMGU on inner pilons will not release with landing gear down, because they would release ONTO the gear

It's not just MP, I can reproduce this in SP.

Cold start, either with rearming and adding dispensers/bombs or spawning with them already, you cannot drop bombs.

 

Hot start, everything works fine. So I guess it COULD be something we're all not doing in cold start, but I'd like to know what it is because as far as I can tell I've got everything on.

And here's the same mission with hot start being the only change.

Yeah these are good replays. You're right. If i "take control" during your replay, i can't use KMGU or bombs either. But if i save it as a miz and run it, i don't have the same issue - bombs and KMGU dispensers work in cold start perfectly. Strange

@Picure@FoxTwo Found it. Go into Gameplay settings and switch avionics language from English to Native and it'll fix the issue. Jesus Christ these bugs are weird...

Guess that explains why it works for some and not others. Hilarious.

 

@BIGNEWY Can we get this bug acknowledged please? Thank you.
