[Resolved] Shrike broken after recent patch ? No tone, no guidance by Flight Director

[Sunnny]

Hi,

is it me doing something wrong or is there a problem with Shrikes after the recent patch.

It seems, I can't get a tone and Flight Director bars not tracking the radar anymore.

Thanx

Same

Reproduced with multiple radars and multiple guidance sections - the only thing that seems to be working are the Shrikes themselves when launched and the AoA indexer lights when using the Shrike's WRCS mode distance readouts on the HSI.

EDIT: At least some radars and guidance sections are unaffected - for instance the Mk 23, Mk 24 Mod 5, Mk 24 Mod 34 and Mk 50 against the SON-9 produce the aural tone and have the flight director function more-or-less as expected.

The tracks below however show that the Mk 22, Mk 25 and Mk 50 against the SNR-75V has the flight director only showing waypoint steering and no aural tone (the only thing being the distance readout) and similar for the Mk 36, Mk 49 Mod 0 and Mk 49 Mod 1 against the SNR-125M.

AoA indexer lights is purely WRCS - the distance readout however is driven by the Shrike

Already fixed internally

I should have checked here earlier - same for shrikes with no tone and no needles.

Same. Shrike not working. No tone,  no needles (against SA 11 on MP server)

We fixed some Shrike tone/indication stuff for the next patch, cheers.

Any clue when they’re thinking to push out the next patch?

Nothing I could communicate yet, sorry.

No worries, I wish the updates were done slightly differently, ED does their own modules and the base game on their update cycle, just their updates, nothing else. The third party developers are free to update their modules whenever they need to. Kind of like the big civilian aviation sim that’s out there.

Ok, This is getting annoying. What's with the patch?

Not sure what you mean. The fixes will be in the upcoming DCS update. You have to ask ED when that will be, probably not too long. Usually their update cycle is something around 4-6 weeks.

Glad I found this thread - was doing some SEAD practice missions and wasn't having any luck with the tone and FD for some of the mks - but noted they were indeed tracking

Hopefully the patch will be out soon - the new Fog, SC deck crew and ME videos are a good indication things coming along
