GBU-38 bug?

[hayesj23]

Here is the tacview file:

 

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15034071/15-33-02%20ilykemoney%20has%20fired%20gbu-38.acmi

 

In the flight log, jump to:

 

15:33:02 A-10C (i_lyke_money) has fired GBU-38

 

 

You will see the bomb release, but not obtain any sort of realistic path. It never guides itself to the target and remains in the same vertical/horizontal position as if it were inside a vacuum.

 

The release was within 0-8mils of the pipper and within the maximum and minimum range. Any idea what causes the GBU-38 to bug out like that?

Not sure if tacview will be able to help solve this (though please correct me if I'm wrong).

 

Please provide a trackfile.

Is there a way to have the game automatically save track files like tacview does? As far as I can tell there is no way to get a track file from a multiplayer game.

 

Is it possible to convert a tacview file into a track file? :helpsmilie:

Every multiplayer flight saves the track. Unchecked the folder can get pretty massive if you fly alot of MP and forget to clean it out.

 

C:\\Users\yourname\savedgames\DCS Warthog\tracks\multiplayer

 

Its a tacview related issue, not DCS. Some of the new weapons appear bugged in Tacview, the GBu-31/38 doesn't properly show the bombs orientation, but it shows the flight path correctly.
