No, it’s long standing issue, but not a classic „bug“. As far as I know it has to do with how the RB-04 and RB-15 were designed (in DCS ,not in reality!) back when the Viggen module was developed. It was new territory. They were made differently than other guided munitions in DCS in order to give them their sophisticated capabilities , but the drawback this brought is the limitation you noticed.

When the launching aircraft gets destroyed,the missiles disappear.

For god's sake heatblur, please fix that :). All the sacrifice done to geat in close to those perries, ticonderoga,  etc... has to worth something if you get to fire before being shot down I mean

My understanding is that it's a limitation in the DCS missile model.  The capabilities of the RB04 and especially the RB15 are not supported by the available DCS missile models.  So HB models it as a fake laser-guided missile and they manipulate the laser spot to make the missile to maneuver according to the special modes.  So if the aircraft dies, the laser spot disappears and the missile becomes useless.

Someday^tm after ED implements an advanced missile model that supports all the stuff, they can transition the RB04 and RB15 to use that, and this issue will go away.

crap so much for realism

Isn't that already work in progress at ED? Or is it just "a dream ahead" which "somebody somewhere someday will start working on. Maybe."???

As with most things ED, it'll arrive in 2 weeks for sure (trust me this time I swear)
