Hello. Using getInventory() function to get all items in a warehouse, but some are missing, even though they are set in mission editor and are showing on the in-game resource window. Things like the PK-3 pods for the L-39ZA, gunners for Mi8 and some others. What gives? Is this a bug or is there a way to get those items as well?

I've attached a simple mission which illustrates what i'm talking about. Batumi warehouse set with 4 items in stock (BetAB 500, Fuel Tank 150L, ALQ-184 and PK-3) and a small script that iterates through the warehouse items 5 seconds in, but only 3 are found.

Thanks!

There are many items missing when i run it on a full warehouse inventory.

Did they change the name of the file for the 370 gallon tanks on the F-16 again? my tank diff is named "fuel_tank_370gal_diff" and they do not show up again.

The flight suit and helmet do not show up anymore either.

I was about to report this as a bug after running into it with my own mission, but then saw this thread.

@Grimes is this actually reported as a bug to ED? It would be nice to have the rest of the items added to getInventory() in advance of modules like the C-130J being added, and logistics becoming more fleshed out in DCS. Seems this has sat idle for some time now.

If anyone knows of any other workaround that would also be appreciated.

This issue persists now with UH-60L/DAP...Any fixes on the horizon? 

I had this mod too, removed it and all other mods to double check.

The issue is not caused by UH-60L or any other mods. Warehouse items that are in the base game are still missing (eg. 300 and 370 gal. fuel tanks for the F-16C, among others posted in the list above by Chesster).

Although I realise you might mean that mod items are also not returned.

Using wsType for weapons doesn't work well because it varies per client and is the only way to pull them from the .miz file. With some hackery, we were able to log all real weapon IDs. Got 1,173 weapons (including UH60 payloads) vs MOOSE's ~600. https://github.com/FlightControl-Master/MOOSE/pull/2412

Not sure I fully understand, the issue is not just missing weapons/types (although that's part of it), it's that we are unable to fetch a full list of warehouse contents via. getInventory() on the built-in scripting API - certain items are missing. As such, it's impossible to know the quantity of certain items there are remaining in the warehouse. For example, as "fuel_tank_300gal" is never returned by getInventory(), you can never know how many of that item are left at a specific airbase, FARP, etc.

In my particular use-case this means that all affected items cannot be kept track of with persistence scripts like SWS.

Unless you are suggesting that your pull / MOOSE can now somehow see those warehouse contents and quantities, in which case I'd be interested in how that works, it was always my understanding that things like MIST and MOOSE build on top of what is already there / available in DCS, so I'm not sure how it can do this while the functionality is broken/missing in the core.

We do not use getInventory() anymore, it has always been an issue in DCS, especially when it comes to mods. After we obtained the full list of warehouse equipments we simply set the values for each according to our mission persistence and keep track from there. And since we have the full list of names, we fetch each one individually using the item name (not wsType) with `warehouse:getItemCount()`.

I only had the UH-60L mod installed when I pulled the list so it pulled its unique equipment as well, gunner seat for UH-60L for example is called 'weapons.gunmounts.{UH60L_M60_GUNNER}'.
