reported CCRP Drop Cue Strange Behavior

[FiveEightDelta]

I was doing some CCRP bombing practice with BDU-33s and for some reason the drop cue will randomly stop functioning after a drop or two. I noticed that it seems to be consistent after a cold and dark startup and you start attacking a TGP markpoint. In my mission trk I did a few runs on a stored steerpoint, designated a markpoint with the TGP and suddenly it just stopped working. Seems to be following the TGP. Had a similar issue with CCRP and CCIP a month ago where high drag munitions at low altitude were inaccurate but didnt save a trk.

Mission Setup:

• No Mods (Originally thought it was the issue)
• F-16 with BDU-33s
• Cold and Dark Start
• Client Spawn

Specs:

• AMD R9 3900X
• RTX 2080ti
• 32GB RAM
• SSD for DCS
• 1440p for Display (windowed)
• Track IR

I couldn't attach the trk here due to its size so I included a link to it.

To add, when the drop cue stops functioning you can continuously press weapon release and drop all your ordinance regardless of your position to the target.

Edit: After some additional testing regardless of cold / hot start on ground or flying start the bug surfaces. I tried changing SOI from HUD to TGP to FCR and sometimes the issue goes away and the fall cue works. I did also notice when your outside of the drop parameters you can almost guarantee drop ordinance over and over again as if it was CCIP. (Which I demonstrated at the end of the attached trk file.

Thanks, I will take a look.

I was able to reproduce the bombs after the drop cue, but I never had CCRP stop working. Could be fixed internally, but even your track I never noticed bombs not dropping off. 

I will leave it open if you have another idea to try, but for not, just one part reported. Thanks!

I’ll try to replicate it again and take a video of what the hud looks like to me when it happens. As soon as the drop cue stops working there’s nothing stopping you from pressing weapon release and pickling a bunch of drops even if your nowhere over the target.
