correct as is Walleye cannot uncage on Center AMPCD

[TAIPAN_]

Walleye cannot uncage from the center MPCD, the uncage button does nothing even when a target is designated.

Correct setup is confirmed by moving it to the right DDI with the same target and same Stores setup it will uncage instantly when the Cage/Uncage is pressed.

Track is attached showing Designation, then setup on Center MPCD.

Cage/Uncage is pressed many times when the MPCD is SOI but it fails to uncage.

Swap to Right DDI and cage/uncage works.

This has been tested in single player and multiplayer, with and without datalink. The only common issue is the Center AMPCD being used.

UPDATE:

-A few more tests showed I could uncage the center AMPCD if the designation came from the SEA radar and not from the TPOD

-Also had some failures uncaging from the right DDI if designation comes from the TPOD, but the SEA radar and waypoint designation worked to allow uncage. So it's not 100% clear of the cause but it's related to the flow using the TPOD and possibly the center AMPCD.

Hi, 

we do have a report open for uncage issues with walleye 

thank you

Previous bug report closed so I couldn't update 

 

It was the center AMPCD that had an issue before.

However now it's happening on the DDIs as well.

Two missions, with 2 walleyes each, both times one of the Walleyes didn't uncage.

This was with Multithreading, and I was using the Datalink pod.

Has the original issue been marked as resolved internally or is it still ongoing for a fix in future?

This is correct as is based on the data we have, if you have public data to suggest otherwise please PM me. 

thank you

I don't understand what is correct, you're saying the Walleye having intermittent failure to Uncage on the DDI is correct? 

So only some Walleyes can target things and others are duds? 

EDIT: In any case I'm unable to reproduce in single player so I can't create a track (this only happened in MP on a longer flight). For now don't worry about it, if it happens again I'll do more work to try and reproduce.

Sorry I will be more specific, the use of the walleye on the MPCD, we have no data to suggest it can be uncaged here. 

Only on the DDI's

Ahh ok yep, that was the other thread.

I started this new thread about the DDIs failing.

However I haven't been able to reproduce it since. Probably ok to close and if it happens again I can create a track etc.
