Silent Warrior Posted June 26, 2005 Posted June 26, 2005 Now, don't you look at me like that. I meant ACCIDENTALLY infinite ammunition for the GAU-8. More on that later. When you have Easy Radar turned on, it's simply impossible to use the Maverick. You press Tab and get one target, fire, boom, whee, then press Tab again. Nothing. You have to go to normal radar (Shift-I) and find your next target the right way. Any chance of making that work like advertised? I mean, it's not the biggest of deals to me - as long as I've got labels or that priority-target diamond, I'm an apocalypse with Mavericks in normal radar - but it stings my eyes. As for the accidentally "infinite" GAU-8 ammo... Well, I say infinite, it was actually like this. I flew around a combat zone smacking vehicles all over the place. Soon enough I had expended all stores and drained my gun-ammo as well. As I reach the 0-mark, guess what? Congratulations, you have won our ammo-lottery, and have been given 65536 bullets! :icon_eek: This doesn't happen every time, and no, I didn't have infinite weapons turned on. Was this just a hickup on my side, or a real bug?
KILSEK Posted June 26, 2005 Posted June 26, 2005 Hi all and Silent Warrior. I use the easy radar and I can help. I have a working solution, but not a direct answer to your question. When I fly the A-10 and firing mavericks I can select the target, fire a mav, select next target, fire next mav, and so on without switching to regular radar. I do this by using the auto lock on center, next, previous, and nearest surface target commands located in the options->input->combat commands, about 2/3's of the way down. I also use them for air targets. The solution to your problem is the auto lock on commands, they do work. I do not know if the tab key is a bug because I have my commands mapped to my x-45 and the mouse cursor control as a 4-way button for the auto lock on commands. I am curious if you can verify a bug for me? When you select a target using mav's, once you lock on the target, does the distance on the EO-aiming reticle(the circle with the crosshairs) increase/decrease as you get farther/closer? . When I was using 1.02 it would constantly update and once I got to the desired distance I would fire. Now when I lock on them it stays the same and I have to guess when I am within range. -KILSEK

I think(?) when I have died, ALT-J 'ed into my wingmans aircraft and used all his cannon ammo that I have seen this happen...... 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Sorry Death, you lose! It was Professor Plum....
Plancton Posted June 27, 2005 Posted June 27, 2005 Maybe a bug in the comparation if ammo is = 0. If you had 1 bullet left and you shot 2, the ammo remaining is -1 = 0xffff = 65536 (if the ammo check is done every x rounds or time). Posibly the bug lies in the instruction ammo=0 and should be changed to ammo<=0.
Silent Warrior Posted June 30, 2005 Author Posted June 30, 2005 I see. So Easy Rader works as it should. Alrighty then. B_R_D: Hm... It's not at all impossible that's what happened to me... The Alt-J-part, that is. Peculiar bug.
