Pylon 1B and 8B Will Show New Fuze Color Option (USAF vs USN) When Selected within Mission Editor but Not In-Game.

[Pally]

Hello Heatblur and everyone.  I noticed something odd regarding the new bomb color graphics not showing in-game for pylon 1B and 8B; however, they do show within Mission Editor armament screen.  I have attached three screenshots to better illustrate.  Note that pylon 3, 4, 5, and 6 are showing everything correctly both in armament screen also in-game (not shown in attached screenshots).

The screenshots showing a Mk.83 and x 2 Mk.82SE loaded on respective pylons within ME, but once I actually start the mission under an AI controlled the said ordinances will default back to their olive drab (USAF) color.

Am I missing something or did something wrong?  Does anyone notice this anomaly?

 

Pic 1: Mk.82SE on pylon 1B showing only olive drab despite being selected as USN greyish concrete color within ME Fuze option panel.  Same anomaly can be seen for Mk.83 on pylon 8B.

Pic 2: For pylon 1B, the Mk.82SE is clearly selected within fuze option panel to show USN color within the ME armament screen.

 

Pic 3: Meanwhile, a Mk.83 on pylon 8B is also selected with USN color within same screen.

Does any of your Tomcats showing such a disparity between ME vs in-game for bomb color?  Thanks in advance in helping.

Thanks for your report.

Do you happen to know what happens when you fly it yourself? The AI, Mission-Editor and player controlled aircraft all behave differently with these things (unfortunately)

Hi Zabuzard:

Thanks for your reply.  Glad to help, actually.  So, I went back into game, and checked as you suggested will a player-controlled F-14B will change anything.  I loaded up pylon 1B with Mk.82AIR and 8B with Mk.82SE; I made certain to select them all to be in USN color in fuze option panel.  The results were still the same; notably, that the Mk.82AIR would not even show the change within ME.   Weird?

Additional screenshots attached below:

Pic 1a: Pylon 1B w/ Mk.82AIR even when selected in USN, but it will show no changes within ME armament screen as it remained in USAF olive drab color.

Pic 1b: In-game external view, pilot as player-controlled.  Pylon 1B w/ Mk.82AIR will not show the chosen USN color option in neither ME nor in-game. 

 

Pic 2a: Pylon 8B, but now with Mk.82SE (SnakeEye) selected again in USN color option.  It does shows in ME, but later in-game it will result in USAF olive drab again.

Pic 2b: External view showing Pylon 8B with Mk.82SE showing in-game olive drab color vs USN color option selected within ME.

 

Pic 3a: Lastly, the Mk.82AIR will not even show the selected USN option even within ME armament screen for pylon 3.  Unlike the Mk.82 SnakeEye which showed correctly.

Pic 3b: For comparison, Pylon 6 loaded with Mk.82SE in USN option displayed without issues in ME.

Pic 3b: Pylon 3 and 6: Pylon 3 w/ supposedly Mk.82AIR in USN option loaded, but would only show olive drab, whereas the nearby pylon 6 w/ Mk.82SE is congruent with the USN option in ME.

At this time I found that pylon 1B and 8B are most troublesome.  Same for the Mk.82AIR where it will remain as olive drab in ME just as in-game no matter where I stick it.

Well, that's all Zabuzard.  Thanks and hopefully can help us on this.  Love the F-14 as always  Thanks!

 

P.S: Sorry... I took the liberty to take some nice screenshots, too.  Nevada sun and F-14.
