Richter Posted April 1, 2022 Posted April 1, 2022 (edited) It appears that after the latest update, the Auto Ranging for both the CPG and Pilot has been broken. Steps I took: Pilot: Lift off, holding at Hover A/S: Armed WAS Gun Weapon Page Manrange boxed "A" entered into Computer Enter Pressed Range still showed M1.5 in HMD WAS Rockets Weapon Page Manrange boxed "A" entered into Computer Range still showed M1.5 in HMD Gunner - Same steps as above but range showed M3.0 Edited April 1, 2022 by Richter
LooseSeal Posted April 1, 2022 Posted April 1, 2022 Strange. I have no issues with this. Can't see that anyone else has either. I just quickly did both a cold start and hot start to check - no problems changing to automatic using the same process you described. I'm not sure what the issue is, but I don't think it's a bug introduced in the update. Maybe run a repair just in case? - i7-7700k - 32GB DDR4 2400Mhz - GTX 1080 8GB - Installed on SSD - TM Warthog DCS Modules - A-10C; M-2000C; AV8B; F/A-18C; Ka-50; FC-3; UH-1H; F-5E; Mi-8; F-14; Persian Gulf; NTTR

LooseSeal Posted April 1, 2022 Posted April 1, 2022 Forgot about Rad Alt! That would be it. For the OP - it's located on the FLT -> SET page. - i7-7700k - 32GB DDR4 2400Mhz - GTX 1080 8GB - Installed on SSD - TM Warthog DCS Modules - A-10C; M-2000C; AV8B; F/A-18C; Ka-50; FC-3; UH-1H; F-5E; Mi-8; F-14; Persian Gulf; NTTR
Digitalvole Posted April 1, 2022 Posted April 1, 2022 (edited) I had something similar last night, hot start btw. Took off, set rockets to auto, all good. Used all my rockets (and only managed to hit one truck! But that’s another story) and then selected gun. But try as I might I could not get the gun to go Auto range. Would that be a rad alt issue too? Edit: Looks likely to be user error Edited April 1, 2022 by Digitalvole

I think what happened (twice) was I had a character already on the little keyboard thingy screen, so it was entering 0A for example instead of just A. Hope that makes sense. I wish we didn’t have to set Auto range every time we switched weapons. Also I remain a god awful shot with or without auto ranging.
