FC3 Bug thread

[HiJack]

Did you do a couple of landings or look at the tracks regarding the F-15C gear Viper?

Busy with that right now.....slow going......choking on budgie-feathers......

Hi gents!

 

Just curious, has the buggy 33 mid air refueling in MP been solved yet?

 

There seems to be an issue with basket getting disconnected resulting in radio loops for disconnect-reconnect, even though it is visually perfectly attached!

 

The only way to get fuel is to actually drop back slightly whereby the basket is shown as disconnected, yet you receive fuel anyway... Quite odd if you ask me.

@159th_Viper: how about this one:

 

In "Over the Hump", after finishing the SEAD escort mission successfully debriefing screen crashes when 96% loaded. Ergo, the campaign cannot proceed.

[pepin1234]

IRST is extremely sensitive when the target aspect change, even when we are minus 10 km from target and he fly with afterburner

[Teknetinium]

TWS lock bandits automatically even if you take the target designator all the way to the side. I would say this is a bug since it doesn't allow you to scan and track several bandits in TWS whit out it locking something, Very irritating!!! I can post a track f you don't understand what I mean, I don't believe this is realistic feature. TWS was working much better in FC2.

Thats how it works Tek - SNP(TWS) is an automated mode.

[Teknetinium]

There must be a way to set TWS not lock automatically, there must be a choice for that or TWS becomes useless because you can not track two bandits whit out it locking one of them.The problem is not that the scan zone is moving rather then target designator jumping on the target and locks it automatically, would be good as it was before where target designator dose it when you put it close to the bandit.

 

Ill try to get some help to check it out if there is any info about it in the manual.

It has been, ie it has been removed to accord with RL behaviour. In other words, EOS is not capable of being slewed in elevation in the Mig.

 

You are correct about not moving... but EOS in the lock on is gyro stabilize (in the BVR mode). Mean where ever I point my nose it will always scan horizon making EOS in BVR mode not useful (in FC3). In the vertical mode (in the FC3) EOS working ok, not gyro stabilize.

Correct.

In 1.2.3? i'm sure that i've heard many reports of successful Il-78M hookups with no problems in MP (even 2-3 clients connecting at once) no problems like you describe.

[104th_Maverick]

Yeah like Mustang mentioned that bug is from 1.2.2

 

1.2.3 the refueling is working fine, we have had 2 clients connected on the hoses in a full server of 21 players with no issues. I've done it many times now, it's nice to hand fly the refuel rather than getting dragged along with the AP connected to the KC-135 :)

No because the whole point to the SNP mode is to automate the target acquisition process.

 

The system scans the selected sector and tracks up to ten of the nearest contacts. Based on this data, the computer analyses the tactical situation, picks the most appropriate target for engagement and finally switches to STT mode when it determines that the target is within launch parameters of the selected weapon.....all automatically.

 

The only pilot action concerns switching on the SNP mode to begin with and ending the process by pulling the trigger to launch when the system tells him to :) .

 

The modified SNP mode of the N019M(MiG-29S) works in the same way except that the system can pick out two of the tracked contacts(primary and secondary target) and doesn't automatically switch to STT mode if the selected weapon type is R-77/RVV-AE.

Sorry Alfa, but that is incorrect. There is a toggle between manual and automatic target selection on the left hand panel. СНП can and will suggest target priority assigning numbers 1 though 4 to the targets and displaying them on the MFD regardless of this toggle.

 

 

Excerpt:

 

Если цель наблюдается вне строба автоматического захвата режима "КН" или переклю-чатель ЗАХВ. АВТ.-РУЧН. установлен в положение РУЧН., то после трехкратного опре-деления координат цели ,она назначается на СНП, ей присваивается номер, с которым она отображается на ИПВ в виде символа цели БРЛС.

...of the Su-27 :) .

 

I was talking about the MiG-29 for which the "left hand panel" looks quite different(attached image) and doesn't seem to have such an option.

 

Anyway, its been quite awhile since I last read up on the MiG-29 radar/weapons system , but from memory I cannot remember having read anything about such a manual operation of the SNP mode in connection with the MiG-29 - nor about several prospective targets being prioritised and marked on the HDD.

 

I am not much "into" the Su-27, but suspect that its different to the MiG-29 in this respect.

I do not know 'if this is a known bug, but if in a mission you place a Predator also its coalition, it becomes the primary threat on the RWR of all Russian aircraft, with high signal intensity ... On F15 instead appears as U, which I think is going to Unknow ...

[Corrigan]

For completeness, I guess this should be posted here too:

 

Aircraft cannon impacts on the ground produce no sound.

Am I the only person that can't spawn new aircraft using right shift, ctrl + tab in FC3 since the update?

[Esac_mirmidon]

I don´t have any of this graphical errors on Su-25/Su-25T.

[71st_Mastiff]

either do I, video low setting maybe?

[combatace]

Can't open the communications menu.

This looks very similar to this bug, see this reply
