FC3 Bug thread

[Paganus]

The SU-25 that is part of FC3,

 

and

 

the SU-25T that is part of DCSWorld,

 

both use an advanced flight model as well.

Thanks for the correction! :thumbup: It's been a while since I've flawn the basic frog!

[Ryback]

@falcon_120,blkspade thanks for confirming.. So is there anyone who can add to bug list or proof it otherwise?

 

@Jona33 and Siskin thanks for you replies as well..

Track please.

[Ryback]

I will post it tonight.. I'm in the office.Thx for your concern Viper.

[Ryback]

Here is the track.I turn on the radar, change to TWS mode then lock two targets and i press "2" for missiles.And there it glows..In case you cannot replicate it new screenshot is here as well.( sorry i could not find the time to crop it)

I have that thought it was normal? No?

Su33. Setting CAS - attack group or attack unit or Groung attack - Attack map object does not provide a target diamond on HUD in AtG mode. However it does ok for Su27 and Mig29.

For Su33 it only marks a triangle on cockpit display but it is impossible to select it as target marked on HUD.

 

P.S. By the way it puts a diamond for Vulkan. Tested also on Stinger, Avenger, Abrams, Static objects, ships, ground point - no diamond for them....

If runway is destroyed,

players who join server after the attack(or just exit and join again) can takeoff / land without problem.

 

It may be a DCS World issue.

This is a LOMAC serie 'issuse' since the beginning.

I can't assign the EOS to my warthog throttle for the Russian aircraft. Somehow it is greyed out as a controller which I can use with this command. Other controllers are not blacked out / working ok, including the stick.

I have the radar on the forward position of the throttle pinkie switch, and would like the EOS on the back position. I can't figure out why the option is greyed out. I think it's a bug.

sounds like you have something missing in your joystick config file. have you been copying/pasting between files? that's what happened to me. try looking at C:/Program Files/Eagle Dynamics/DCS World/Mods/aircrafts/Flaming Cliffs/Input/su-27/joystick/default.lua and find the line for EOS, and make sure that same line is in C:/Users/YourName/Saved Games/DCS/Config/Input/su-27/joystick/MyJoystick.lua. change the name of the aircraft in the path to whichever you're working on. if the line is missing, copy it over. that's what causes the function to not be assignable.

[ocf81]

Thnx, that worked! :)

 

I guess this is because I used my F-15 key layout as a quick template for the other FC aircraft. It would be nice you could use the profiles across different planes without these problems popping up.

Not sure if it's been reported, but our latest flight from the Admiral Kuznetsov only let the Host rearm and refuel, the others didn't get anything. Not sure if this is related to the Admiral Kuznetsov ATC bug...

[Wolf One]

Sorry if this has been asked before, and not sure if this is indeed a bug, but the flight path ladder in the mini HUD is missing in FC3 aircraft (present in FC2), except when along the aircraft axis itself. Could be a limitation or indication. Only the waterline symbol is available, and also no VV. Don't know if this is really considered an "assist" or HMCS analogue, although some "credible" sources regard it as a useful tool. Only use it occasionally, and sparingly, mainly because I still find some contraptions for tracking buggy, requiring constant adjustment or profile change. But without the ladder scale, doesn't help situational awareness much.

Thanks, will have a look at this tonight.

I didn't spend any time in the SU-25 (w/o the T) yet but I thought it had AFM too.

 

umland,

 

The other three aircraft in DCSW which are blessed by AFM are KA-50, SU-25T and P-51D. After the imminent FC3 patch, A-10A will join this exclusive club.

It does.

In MP missions, some AA missiles will not self-destruct, flying with negtive altitude and 1~2m/s descending.

If altitude of these AA missiles reach about -70km(or 5 minutes after they begin flying with negtive altitude),

client crashes.

[159th_Viper]

-70km(or 5 minutes after they begin flying with negtive altitude),

client crashes.

 

With a crash, at the very least we need crash logs.

mission editor problems

 

when making a MP mission I try to lftcntl +c and LftCntrl+v a client aircraft, It does not save correctly, it reverts that aircraft to a enemy aircraft view. I tried changing bort numbers, names, and call signs, renaming. will not let me use it.:joystick:

 

I have to delete it and then start from scratch.

I just detected a bug with the FPM in the F-15C. I had intercepted ILS glideslope on final approach and put my speedbrakes on in order to slow down (then used throttle to fly AoA). The last moments of the flight, I fell below glideslope and crashed just short of the runway threshold. However, the FPM indicated level flight and was superimposed with the ILS cross at the time of impact, whereas it should have dropped below the HUD as soon as my AoA increased beyond what could be displayed on the HUD (maintaining 8-10 degrees nose up). The entire time, the FPM and waterline were indicating about 10 degrees AoA, even when I dropped below stall speed and at the point of impact.

 

The trk is corrupted, but I have included a link to the TacView ACMI. Just fast forward to the very end and view the ACMI in HUD mode; the FPM and waterline indications were as I saw them in game, even as the airspeed drops below stall speed.

Are you clicking the unit on the map then Lctrl+c and v or are you clicking on the unit in the Unit List and trying it?

 

When I make MP missions I place the aircraft at the airfield, give it way points then click on the aircraft, Lctrl+c and then Lctrl+v and it duplicates exactly including the way points right next to the original aircraft provided there is space at that airfield (if takeoff from ramp is selected).

 

All you have to do then is change the call signs and aircraft name... saves loads of time ;)
