fixed KH-58u, kh-29T, and kh-29L are lofting downwards into the ground instead of up.

This should probably be its own thread. I thought the previous one was the same issue but it appears to be several issues from too long ago.

These missiles are lofting downwards since the latest update and are basically rendered useless unless launched from a dive to something almost directly below. Something changed them because they were working fine before the update. They just go down into the ground. Two of them are passive radar, the third is optical, but all 3 are behaving inverted. I checked the hardpoint for other things like fuel tanks and gun pods, but they are not mounted upsidedown or anything like that.

The track file provided shows a 25T firing vikhrs at first to test smoke lag, but later gets into a new 25T within minutes to throw some 58's at an SA6.

Also noticed it. I thought it had something to do with the new multiplayer RWR bug. But tested it in singleplayer and basically any missile that lofts is broken.

The KH-58U need to be launched at 2/3 of max range to have nay chance of reaching the target, and if you launch it under 700m it is sure to head straigh into the ground right bellow you (even damaging your own aircraft depending on how low you are).

Welp. I guess I'll be playing Stable for the foreseeable future.

I realized I still had a mod called "The Way" installed and reshade. I removed them and did a slow repair including remove extra files just to make sure, but no change in behavior. ST or MT doesn't matter.

Additional note, the passive radar guided weapons that can be loaded on pylons 3 and 9 are not affected and still appear to work normally.

KH-25T is not tracking in mission. It just plows into the ground. but when using it in training mission it finds target as it should.

@Raven434th Your track features the Kh-29T.

@draconus Thanks! I was not aware of this issue.

[FusRoPotato]

I didn't bother to test the laser guided rocket available on those pylons (because it doesn't have a loft feature), but the other 3 A2G missiles on those pylons all do the same thing, dive instead of loft. Makes it seem like it's not a problem with the missiles themselves, but rather either the pylons, or some generic loft function if that exists.

This was fixed with the latest OB update (2.8.4.39259.1).

not fixed;

VR/ MT/ PiMax Crystal.

SU25a

The KH29L does not follow the laser.

tested in Instant Syria ground mission SU25a.

 

Sorry it is working if the Salvo and weapons dial are selected correctly.

 

SEIRE in English Salvo, and SGL/2 for msl /laser selection.

Please provide a short DCS track demonstrating the issue.
