cannot repoduce and missing track file Problems with hellfire Lima?

[Blaine Stars]

Guys, are you having any problems with hellfire Lima? because when you fire it, doing the whole procedure of pointing the laser, observing that the hellfire has got the coordinates and firing, the missiles are missing, falling close to the target instead of hitting it.

a good example said this one short, in this case the missile fell very close to the target, but it happens to fall further away. remembering that this happens with or without the FCR.

Try resetting your INUs a few minutes before you're in place to engage. There's currently an excessive INU drift glitch that isn't being corrected by GPS (and it's very hard to document with a short track), which is feeding bad data to the missile. Easiest way to see this is to use the STORE function with TADS and observe how far off the generated point is from the actual crosshairs.

What is the correct procedure to reset the INU?

TSD > UTIL > INU1/2 reset. It takes ~4 minutes to reset an INU, so keep that in mind. Reset one INU so it'll be ready for action, then after it's back up, reset the other one. I just generally cycle them in 10 minute intervals to keep drift in check, which is about 5m a minute.

OK, thanks.

Ok that explains why in the latest MP mission I flew as AFAC all the stored target points were not on targets when giving coords to other player.

Strangely when taking them as acquisition point I should have been back on the same point but I was off too.....

Is ED aware of this issue? Has anyone else reported the same problem?

It was reported here about 8 months ago, and confirmed by many people since. No real news from ED, seems like they at least originally couldn't repro the issue.

This happened to me too many times over the last few days while doing some Liberation missions (single player) where I had to fly quite far (60km+) to the targets. Same symptoms as everyone else in the linked thread: the RF hellfires miss targets at a consistent offset, always hitting the exactly same position (and yes, I've been using George to fire them from stable hover, stable forward flight, all sorts of other situations, on many occasions, immediately after lasing). I've never before had any issues with RF hellfires missing targets (except the very early days when there were other bugs), so I don't think I'm suddenly using them wrong. After INU reset, the missiles hit the targets perfectly. No mods installed. I tried to repro the issue for a track file on a smaller mission, but couldn't repro. I tried saving a track of the Liberation missions two times after it again happened there, but the track files didn't work at all. I'll try again when I have a couple of hours to spare, but hopefully ED could prioritize this a bit, as there apparently already were real track files showing the issue in the original thread. While not game breaking, it's really annoying to do a large, complex mission and just when you're supposed to start shooting, wait a long time for INU reset.
