LeCuvier Posted April 22, 2023 Posted April 22, 2023 (edited) Since yesterday's update I experience this issue. Each time I press the Weapon Release button for the Vikhr ATGM, the Black Shark launches 2 Vikhr missiles, which depletes my weapon payload very quickly. I have seen this same behaviour a long time ago. It was fixed I think when the long button-press was introduced. Track attached. Edit: I did some more testing and sometimes I manage to shoot just one Vikhr at a time. It seems to depend on the duration of the button press.

Solution Schlomo1933 Posted April 22, 2023 Solution Posted April 22, 2023 (edited) In which state is your rocket salvo switch? It’s not affecting unguided rockets only. Also affects the vikhrs. U need to select short salvo. Medium or long will always fire 2 vikhrs and is realistic. Edited April 22, 2023 by Schlomo1933
LeCuvier Posted April 23, 2023 Author Posted April 23, 2023 (edited) I have bound this switch to the Autopilot switch on my TM WH throttle which is a maintained 3-position ON1-OFF-ON2 switch. I have always had this switch in its center position (which means "medium") at mission start, and never switched it to anything else. And I did not get the double-launch at all. Now I get it more often than not. I checked a bit more and found that the cockpit at mission start (hot start) shows the switch in the DOWN (= short burst) position. I suspect that the software does not reliably scan the switch positions, and that there is some random behaviour. So sometimes it ignores the OFF (=Center) state of my switch and fires a single Vikhr, and sometimes it does update the switch state and fires 2. During my last mission last night I did not get the double launch at all! Conclusion: I will make sure going forward that I have the switch in the down position when using the Vikhr. And I will update this post based on the result. Thanks for your input!
