FC3 Bug thread

Ok, so the F-15 landing bug is reported but still not on the bug list?

If the relevant tester does not inform me of reported FC3 bugs then I don't know to add them to the list.

Item added now.

Here is something, I noticed some time ago. Not sure, if this is the right place to post it, but maybe someone has a better idea, if this is actually a bug, or a feature. If it's a feature, then it's something, that should be erased, cause it's a big handicap......

Reported.

TDC slew in A-10A moving random direction to begin with, is still here....

Noted.

Not yet reported as there is another issue that needs dealt with prior to this being attended to. I'll stay on top of it however.

F-15C Autopilot does not disengage when requesting 'abort' refuel from the tanker online, leaving the pilot stuck with the Autopilot engaged and no way to disable it.

Does not happen in SP, MP only

;1699609']F-15C Autopilot does not disengage

Ouch, that's not fun.

@Viper: Thanks for keeping track of things. Thought you stopped after 1.2.3 released.

----

Hitting drop lock after the lock has already been dropped on SU-27/33 resets all radar information. This results in another ~3 second interval to reacquire contacts.

To replicate: Lock a target -> after lock drop the target -> your radar will now still display the target on scope -> hit the drop lock button again and your scope will go clean

I have not tested this on MiG-29A/S

@Viper: Thanks for keeping track of things. Thought you stopped after 1.2.3...

Nope, will only stop once they're all resolved :)

Ta - will attend to report and update list a wee bitty later.

@Maverick - could you please let me have a Mantis link for the refuelling issue. Would be appreciated.

Ta :)

Is the localiser bar missing on the F15c?

Not to be an ass or anything... but the current patch is completely unflyable with the new smoke effect introducing sick stutters and just a general slideshow when someone gets killed.

a hotfix is warranted ASAP, IMO!

I have a plan - i'm testing out using effects.dll from previous version of DCS World 1.2.3.9871, in that version we had the fire but no smoke it could be a good fix until ED come up with something.

edit: damn that doesn't work, all this does is mess up 1.2.3.10201 - don't try this at home :)

Last patch 9871 the CBU87s where fine this patch update I get 4 fps when dropping 6 @ sngl/rip at 70ms...

Still CBU97s they still pop chutes right when dropped from A10A.

they dont glid to the path then pop.

Thanks for looking into this, Mustang. I really hope you find a fix for us.

Not sure how or why this this even made it into patch. It wasn't broken before, no one was complaining about not having thick plumes of smoke for downed aircraft..

Like someone just deliberately put it in there to break/disrupt playability... Makes no sense to me.

MiG-29 TWS lock gives target a warning.

MiG-29 TWS lock gives target a warning.

Have you a track per chance?

Oh yes, neglected to state the obvious: Both tracks if possible please (from both airframes).

Ok thanks, will get around to it, just testing the water see if this has been mentioned.

MiG-29 TWS lock gives target a warning.

I tested MiG-29S TWS2 and obtained the same result, warning of target's RWR/SPO, weeks ago with Sgt.Wilzah, at the 51st server. I posted not here, it was in the depths of the forum :)

F15-C Crashes when Engaging SU-33 When SU-33 Load has the following

See attached mission file and crash log....this crash happens only when the SU-33 (bandit) has the weapons load in the CAP mission.

I tried all the other CAP loads with no crashes. The crash occurs when you go into BVR mode and then turn on the Radar. I am including the mission file and the cash log.

I am using the modded SU-33, but the same crash occurs with or without it...so somehow I think it is linked to the F-15 Radar interplay with the SU-33 load, ECM etc.

Which airbase are you attempting to land at?

 

Also I tested to fly Su-25 earlier. I was flying at the speed of 450km/h, but the Mach indicator told me that I was flying at 0.8 mach.

Track?

?? Hold on, do you mean TWS will not give target a warning?

You will get a RWR indication that the radar is emitting and tracking. You will however not get the STT-lock/launch warning until the R-77 goes active.

I don´t know if this is a bug but the landind speed of Mig-31 i think it´s too fast.

Approach speed over 430 Km/h, touchdown speed over runway 415 Km/h.

I can´t find any info about landing speed of real Mig-31 around the web but 440 km/h with flaps and gear down it´s too much for landing.

Landing speed of MiG-31 is 290 - 310 km/h.

Thanks Soviet, inside DCSW it´s a lot more. Between 415 and 430 Km/h.

Hi all,

I posted a couple of pages back about the ILS on the f15c. Should there be a locaiser bar and glide slope indicator on the HUD? I'm sure there was on FC2.

Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Regards

Andy
