fixed UH-1H XM158 Rocket Pods shoot straight to north

[N0XID]

HUEY bugy rocket pods.trk

It seems as if the unguided missiles of the Huey always shoot north under certain conditions.

But this only applies to the XM158 Rocket Pod!

Apparently they'll also shoot directly south if beyond the E/W line.

Thank you, reported.

From the last patch:

"DCS: UH-1H Huey by Belsimtek

• Corrected rockets placement in XM158 launcher"

This is the result:

Only the XM-158 pods are affected.

I have experienced the same problem.

Already reported:

When I shoot my Hydra HEAT missiles they are going 45 or more degrees to the left?

When I shoot my Hydra HEAT missiles they are going 45 or more degrees to the left? How is this possible? 

Is this they downside of DCS only being in Beta mode?

Sorry for double posting an already recognized bug.

its already been reported but i figure ill throw my had into the ring, when using 2 inch rockets in the huey they fire 0 degrees north, not where the helo is pointing, quite annoying, sub optimal.

Rockets dyrect North.trk

I'm having the same issues in Mission Editor, however the training missions and instant missions rockets work fine , and rockets fire as expected.

Guns are unaffected .  

The XM158 Rocket Pod will fire True North or True South ( totally useless )

This undesirable change occurred with the latest update , on 8-14-2024.

Good Luck ED Team !

Can confirmed this happen on my client as well as yesterday, with latest (as of yesterday) patch on the Kola map.

Yes, this happened to me too on the final (very climactic) mission of the Paradise Lost campaign. Womp, womp. Talk about ruining the experience...and such peak DCS that a visual fix broke how the rockets actually work!

So the patch today didn't fix this? I've not yet tried using rockets since last week's patch, just doing cargo runs and crew extraction/insertion with guns. Seriously cripples the Huey.

Paradise Lost you say? I just bought that two days ago and just started it yesterday. Good to know. Thanks. I'll stick with other campaigns (UN pilot) til this is fixed.

Same issue with the Huey rockets, I can hear the rocket launching but cannot see where it is going and sometime when i am launching a rocket it instantly hit my huey! 

[Woody81]

Same issue, Not sure about cardinal direction, but the rockets that you start off with in the easy ground attack mission on the PG map come out of the helo and go 90 degrees right to the start direction.  Also did an update today, this hasn't changed anything.

Yet to be announced. The most reliable answer to this question is here.

I've been getting heavy into DCS again and the Huey and bought most of the campaigns, I finished the MAD campaign yesterday and one of those missions required the use of rockets and it didn't do this, but on a free flight previously and one of the default missions I just tried it did this. Not sure if it's map specific or the MAD mission used different unguided rockets?? Anyways, really bummer timing as I'm balls deep into this thing right now.

This issue was fixed with today's update.
