fixed Laser ON/OFF VAB on cold start not working in SP and MP

[TeddyThePilot]

The  Laser ON/OFF button for CPG (WPN->UTIL->LASER ON/OFF) after the last patch (2.9.15.9408) does not work during cold start. It does not work in both single player and multiplayer mode. Always in turn off state and can't been changed manually. So i can't use TEDAC lasing trigger  - no laser range and designator.

Update: After hot start this button can't turn off,  always on. If turn off TADS in WPN->UTIL, and the turn on again, this button (Laser) always off, FLIR button in TADS group for example can change state On/OFF, but button Laser not.

I tried firing hellfires or guns using george in multiplayer and he doesn't use any weapons, even though the aircraft is armed he doesn't shoot hellfires or guns.

Same here, no laser functionality on Cold Started / Auto Started aircraft.  Apache's use of weapons is dead for now.  Hopefully a hotfix in the works.

 

George is also broken...  He refuses to fire on anything.

Problem is known and can currently only be solved by hot start.

threads merged. 

This has been reported to the team and they are working on a fix. 

Obviously work around is to use hot start until the fix. 

Apologies.

What makes me wonder is, how did this thing get past testers?

It's not something burried deep within the menus or something that you use once in a while.

The complexity of what is being done and the scale of the testing can make it challenging. But please dont use this thread to bash the testing team, keep it for the bug itself. 

thank you
