DCS:W and/or SU25T - Replay Issues

[osram]

I'm not too experienced with replays in FC2 or DCS, but even though I did not fast-forward this specific replay of me in the SU25-T flying with two mates in an A-10 and BS, my plane does not taxi the way I did during the game and crashes into a hangar. (To be honest this is the first Track file I have watched in DCS:W, maybe this is a known or general issue?)

 

The replay of this multiplayer session has become useless, since I do not see any of the post-taxi events. Also the weapons on my SU do not correspond to what I rearmed using ctrl + '. Talking about the ress. management GUI, I'm not sure what to do with that popup at the beginning of the replay. Press OK? Cancel? I only tried going with Cancel up to now.. will also try "OK" after this post. The rearm popup might possibly be the cause leading to this kind of replay issues?

 

Anyway. Since I haven't found any bug reports regarding replays in the forum, I allowed myself to post this issue.

 

You can find the relevant track file attached to this thread as a two-volumed rar file.

Alright. I have tried playing the replay by using the original loadout I had picked in the rearming GUI during that multiplayer session.

 

If anyone cares to verify and see some serious SU-25T self-immolation plus one-winged flying (and at some point hopefully including the succesful landing) just use the following loadout during the replay.

 

From inside to outside: 1x Mercury Pod, 2x 500Kr (TV guided bombs), 2x Vikhr, 2x S13 Rockets, 2x S8 Kom Rockets and outermost pods are empty. Total weight: 14999/15000 KG.

 

Although now I am able to play the replay properly with taxi etc. and the first half, at some point when the plane starts to spin a few times around itself and catching the stall at low altitude over some village, it will fall off and crash to its left side. Also tested without fast-forwarding... same crash, i.e. behavior. Maybe there is an issue with not properly removing the weight of jettisoned weapons within the current replay/rearming system? I also noticed that all of the weapons which were mounted on my right side immediately fell off after my right wing got teared apart. Is that regular behavior?

 

At least this replay shows how the new rearming system causes issues when it comes to weight/speed and replay-events.

 

I will wait and see if I can get hold of the multiplayer replays from the POV of one of those two mates that were flying with me tonight. Will have to wait until late at night though. Europe vs. South-American timezone shifting sucks. :S

 

Hopefully the replay from their perspective will include the succesful emergency landing... since I suppose their replay/loadout will not affect the behavior of my plane in terms of the new rearming system and replay events/physics.

Track replay issues is a known issue currently being worked on.

Alright, thanks for your feedback. Seems like the behavior of my plane works for the replay from another player on the server:

 

Hopefully the replay issues are fixed in 1.2.0.
