FC3 Bug thread

[ScottishMartialArts]

My apologies if this has come up before, but a thread search did not return any hits, and I don't want to manually sort through a 113 page thread.

 

Bug Report:

 

Type: Mission Scripting

 

Affected Mission: A-10A The Valley 6A

 

Problem: Victory fails to trigger despite destroying the objective (T-80 Platoon with T-80s #21-23) described in the briefing.

 

Cause: There is an additional, undocumented, victory trigger in this mission: Destroy T-80 HQ Group.

 

Recommendation: Amend mission briefing so that the player understands that he must destroy both the T-80 Platoon group and the T-80 HQ group, OR remove Destroy T-80 HQ Group victory trigger.

I tried the Su-27 with an ECM pod in my mission and the ECM light in the cockpit never turns on, IDK if its not working or if the pod just doesnt work currently.

 

and also its really hard to see and read the trim lights and the autopilot lights in the cockpit, IDK if thats intended

 

version 1.2.4

TWS 2 HUD Legend

 

A minor graphical bug in ver 1.2.4. The "TWS" label when in TWS 2 mode lies off the edge of the MIG29 HUD.

FINALLY the gun appears to be fixed for the F-15. Been waiting for that fix since FC3 came out. Short bursts incapacitate if not outright kill fighters now, where before it took half the darn belt to down something. Can anyone confirm this was officially fixed or am I getting luck / imagining it?

[Esac_mirmidon]

I have the same ECM issue. No green light signal on cockpit panel. Maybe in real cockpit there are no such green light?

 

Also no afterburner green lights when this engine mode is on.

 

Also no letters when canopy is open, only a red light inside the warning box but no letters at allю

 

Also TWS 2 mode on Mig-29S is off HUD side.

SU27 in Ver 1.2.4 Air to Ground CCRP mode not working correctly..weapons release as soon as the pickle button is pressed.

 

After flying the Pipper to the target and pressing and holding the pickle button, weapons release immediately and impact grossly short. The usual process of the time to release cue and "Fly the tail to the director circle" just doesn't happen. As soon as press and hold the pickle button the Time to go arrow races to the bottom of the TTG scale.

 

CCIP works just fine.

 

MIG29 CCRP works as advertised so its an SU27 issue

FC3 1.2.4, A10A 6DOF Cockpit;

 

When engaging the speed break the course setter knobs move under the compass course setter. :joystick:

 

So there is no Speed break indicator either anymore?

Known issue and has been reported. Thanks a bunch.

[Hubris]

some of the letters and numbers on the su-27 don't completely fit inside the hud.

Don't think this is a bug... can you show a screenshot?

Anyone's having problems with Comms menu key? I'm not able to get it working in any FC model.

Ive noticed that some of the missions in the FC3 mission folder including the instant mission for the SU-27, you cannot kill the AI aircraft, they seem to be invincible, also when the an enemy aim-9, or aim-120 hits you it usually ends up removing your aircraft from existence, or removing every controlling surface from it along with most electronics.

 

Now i understand that a fighter, shouldnt be able to survive a hit from a A2A missile, its just that suddenly being left with no wings, stabilizers and engines looks really goofy.

 

And another thing the sound from the engines no longer cuts out when you go supersonic, and the volume on the RWR can barely be heard when the afterburner is on, even on its highest volume. This is all for the Su-27

[Kuky]

Engine sounds should not be cut out when supersonic as there is air within fuselage that transfers some of the engine sound no mater what the speed is. Also on my end I can still hear RWR sounds when I have afterburners on, I think you are just not used to more wind noise that really exists in jet and is dominant sound in the cockpit (that's what I heard from RL pilot)

You can survive an indirect hit (proximity warhead detonation), this has happened in combat. What you shouldn't survive is a direct hit which will only happen in a fraction of the shots taken.

well currently it looks like a proximity hit leaves you with no ailerons and a direct hit leaves you without wings and stabilizers

Here are some few bugs from 1.2.4 ; I was flying the Su-27 :

 

1- If I open the canopy while flying : I hear a specific scratch noise and it does not appear in external view (correct) but I still see it in the cockpit view (blocked open position).

Edit : is ok with Su-25 or any other FC3 plane ; only concerns the Su-27.

 

2- At full night, I don't see any flare light in my rearview mirrors (even if it lights the rear of my plane) actually, I see some "small grey clouds" instead of bright balls of fire like with Mig-29x or Su-33.

Small grey clouds sounds like chaff...? Sure you were popping flares?

Yep, I talk about flares ; See and compare below : Su-27 and Su-33.

 

Su-27 (upper picture) / Su-33 (lower one)

 

It's like if the flare texture lost color only for the new 6DOF Su-27 cockpit (only by night).

I have confirmed both bugs in latest test builds and reported to ED

FC3 v1.2.4 A10A

 

the HUD is magnified large can not see it properly.

 

Solved its the 6dof neck center mod, causing the hug magnification.

Edited May 2, 2013 by Mastiff

[arteedecco]

the HUD is magnified large can not see it properly.

And heading tape at bottom of HUD is concealed by the protrusion in the middle of the dash (what is that?), which means you cannot see the Waypoint indicator on the heading tape.

 

Also... the A-10A still starts with full left rudder deflection (only tested airborne start Multiplayer in 1.2.4, but was same previously in 1.2.3 for air and ground, so I'm assuming it's still the same in 1.2.4).

[Fouga]

Additional bug(s) relative to the Weapon system Control panel of the Su-27 :

 

3- The Su-27 Weapon system control panel (WCS) does not indicate any information at all ; not at least the GUN / RKT / Bomb mode nor the remaining Gun Ammo.

Su-33 and Mig-29x WCS still indicate that information.

The Su-25 WCP works perfectly with the additional Ripple interval / Qty selectors (as well as the Su-25T one).

 

4- About the Salvo mode, how can we have a feed back about its selection in Su-27 and Su-33 ? I did not notice any modification on the HUD, WCS or the Weapon status panel.

Only the Mig-29x seems to show (on HUD only) if this Salvo mode in engaged.

Significant FPS drop in 1.2.4 with the new pits. Seems like I used to be able to fly around in my Su-27 with 40-70 fps no problems. Now with the new cockpit and 1.2.4 I'm down to 18-35. What gives? I know the new cockpits are more detailed and what not but that big of a hit? The biggest hit comes when i turn on cockpit lights, I can be down in the 18-20 range. Here are others like me:
