Lixma 06 Posted Thursday at 09:02 PM Posted Thursday at 09:02 PM Not sure if this has ever worked but it currently doesn't do anything. You can fire rockets etc whether the launchers are armed or not. Mi-24 Launcher Arm non-functional.trk

Lixma 06 Posted Friday at 06:45 PM Author Posted Friday at 06:45 PM @BIGNEWY There's definitely something weird going on with this. I select rockets and press the launcher arm button, it lights up. I pull the trigger, the launcher arm indicators immediately extinguish, and I fire a salvo of rockets. I re-arm the launchers and pull the trigger, the indicators go out, and...nothing. I pull the trigger a second time and the rockets fire. I re-arm the launchers and pull the trigger, the indicators go out - nothing. I pull the trigger a second time - nothing. A third time and the rockets fire. I re-arm the launchers and pull the trigger - nothing. I pull the trigger a second time - nothing. A third time - nothing. A fourth time and the rockets fire. ....you get the idea. Each 'cycle' requires one additional pull of the trigger before the rockets fire. I got to ten pulls of the trigger needed before ending the mission. As ever the video will explain better than me. Mi-24 Launcher Arm Weirdness.trk 1

Everything goes as it should even if you don't touch the arming button - that was the point of my original post. Things only get weird when you actually use the thing. Currently, not touching the 'launcher arm' button at all seems the safest thing to do at the moment. But it doesn't explain why the arming lights extinguish after firing only once (are the rockets no longer armed after a single firing? Should I press the arming button after every shot?) Nor does it explain why subsequent arming causes an increasing number of trigger pulls to fire.

Nor does it explain why subsequent arming causes an increasing number of trigger pulls to fire. The rockets are armed once. If you don't, the salvos won't be even. There will be a short burst, then three even bursts, then another short burst. Normally, there should be four even bursts with the medium burst length setting. We've discussed this before. This doesn't work as intended, but if you want even firing, arm it first.
