fixed DSMS shows empty line for weapon name for GBU-54 and M-151 APKWS

[kamikadze036]

In the current open beta (2.8.7.42583) when laser guided (aided) weapons like Mk-151 APKWS and GBU-54 are loaded on aircraft the DSMS page shows no weapon name on the appropriate position. Only laser code and ALN RDY cycles on second line. Before this patch it worked correctly. I have tried this in singlethreaded as well as multithreaded version of DCS. On PG and Caucascus map.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Cold aircraft (I have used the Cold And Dark instant mission for A-10C II)
2. Equip GBU-54 and M151 APKWS weapons to proper positions (e.g. 4/6)
3. Start-up the aircraft and hit Load DSMS when appropriate.

Results - se attached screenshots of DSMS, positions 4 and 7 + weapon management window + screenshot of actual weapons under aircraft.

I believe no trackfile is needed for this.

Mods installed:

• UH-60L, C130, A4E aircraft
• SRS installed, DCS Scratchpad installed, Twitch2DCS installed.

Excellent report!

I'm not at my PC right now and will check later. Just to confirm: does this only happen when reloading weapons in the mission? And/or does it happen after loading/reloading the DSMS?

I thought I remember something about one of those mods causing graphical issues in a number of modules?  Can't remember if it was the UH-60 or C-130, but it'd be good to remove those and do a repair

Experiencing the same bug.

Confirm, same for me, missing 54's and 151's

It happens when (re)loading weapons in mission. Happens even when repeatedly reloading DSMS.

Thanks, I was searching for similar report but could not find anything recent and related.

It is confirmed here as well. Also affects (no surprise) the APKWS 282. Tested on a virgin install no mods but A10C. Also affects the profile page configuration for GBU 54 but not the APKWS's.

This anomaly is still present in stable update 2.8.7.42718.

Hello, I noticed a while ago and here is the attached photo that my weapon combination with Laser Maverick and GBU-54B is not visible on DSMS since the new update, does anyone else have this problem, and does anyone know what is going on, all other weapons that I tried are visible on DSMS except this one??

Have you reloaded the DSMS?

[Dragan]

Yes, I even turned off DCS exited and restarted and it showed the same thing, I don't know why, until now it has never been a problem not to see any of the weapons I bring

it would be desirable for everyone who sees the post to check that we know

I've just entered the bug section and this is the first thing I found:

Well done, it's good that I discovered the problem with your support as well, we'll probably wait for a fix.And here others have also discovered the error..

threads merged, this is already reported but thank you

As a follow up to this, I found a graphical bug I suspect is related to this.  With the GBU-54, the HUD also does not display the profile name with the GBU-54 selected.  In addition, the DLZ and range graphic and the MAN REL line seemed to be translated upwards intermittently, so that the upper part overlapped with the ARC-210 frequency lines.  This appeared to be intermittent--I noticed it when I first selected the GBU-54 profile, then after dropping a couple, it seemed to go away.  It was a long flight, so I tried again to catch it on a track but it didn't occur.  I'll try again later and put up a track if I see it again

In the picture I posted it can be seen as a problem with the M151 APKWS rockets that I installed and it shows instead of them on the DSMS M282L that is also a bug since I personally armed the M151, and yes you are right the symbols on the HUD do not they show GBU-54 as well as on DSMS, please solve the problem as soon as possible.Today I tested my entire set of weapons with the GBU-54 and the Maverick laser from this picture, the weapons work the bombs too, but I did it randomly, I also noticed that after firing the Laser Maverick the default code 1688 disappears and becomes 1111  on the maverick screen on the left which was not there before ,I had to manually add code 1688 again to launch the second Maverick..

When can we expect a fix for this problem???

[kamikadze036]

I don't want to jump into quick conclusions, have to do more tests, but it seems this bug is gone now even while the changelog does not mention that.
