LukeFF Posted June 19, 2010 Posted June 19, 2010 I am seeing the following when I try to launch two Vikhrs with the burst mode set to Medium: -Upon holding down the weapon release button the first time, only one Vikhr will launch -Upon holding down the weapon release button a second time (and subsequently), two Vikhrs will launch. I did not see this behavior prior to the current patch, so I am wondering if something in the code was changed. And yes, I made sure I had launch authorization before firing. 1
Boberro Posted June 19, 2010 Posted June 19, 2010 I have mentioned it before to tester member, supposedly it's bug... this is why I always watch again for burst lenght and set it to small in case. Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make... HISTORY! :D | Also to be remembered: FRENCH TANKS HAVE ONE GEAR FORWARD AND FIVE BACKWARD :D ಠ_ಠ ツ
winz Posted June 19, 2010 Posted June 19, 2010 Are you sure there was no laser CD on your first launch? If so, only one vikhr will be lanuched. The Valley A-10C Version Revanche for FC 3
LukeFF Posted June 19, 2010 Author Posted June 19, 2010 Are you sure there was no laser CD on your first launch? If so, only one vikhr will be lanuched. Not that I'm aware of, but I'll check again just to be sure.
nemises Posted June 19, 2010 Posted June 19, 2010 I've also noticed this same behavior since the patch.
slug88 Posted June 20, 2010 Posted June 20, 2010 Not sure if this is what you guys are talking about, but you're able to launch a single Vikhr before the laser cooldown cycle (count down timer on the HUD) completes, probably as a sort of emergency measure. In fact, you'll even get a Launch Authorized before the cycle completes. I believe that SOP is to wait for the cycle to finish before firing, and if you do this you should be able to launch a pair just fine. I suspect that waiting for the timer to finish is beneficial for firing single Vikhr's as well, as it might extend the laser's lifespan. Edit: I now realize that winz said pretty much the same thing, although much more succinctly. So yeah, what he said :D. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
LukeFF Posted June 25, 2010 Author Posted June 25, 2010 It indeed was a problem with waiting for the countdown timer to wind all the way down. :doh: No issue here, carry on!

Frederf Posted June 26, 2010 Posted June 26, 2010 Is your joystick button linked directly to the trigger command or does it press a keyboard key virtually and that keyboard key is linked to the trigger? Maybe it's a joystick profiler issue. If the counter is complete, the trigger pressed and held, and the cursor in the limits circle for the duration of the launches I always get 2 Vikhrs on medium or long burst settings.
