markturner1960 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Anyone else have the issue with getting a Bolter and corresponding points deduction when you do catch a wire? I have had this happen several times now...... I presume this is a DCS issue rather than mission issue?

jmarso Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 A bolter should be its own grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bankler Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 Anyone else have the issue with getting a Bolter and corresponding points deduction when you do catch a wire? I have had this happen several times now...... I presume this is a DCS issue rather than mission issue? No, if/when this happens, it probably some edge case error in the script in my mission, not in DCS. There is no way to read which wire you have grabbed, so the script estimates it by measuring the distance from the center of the ship to the point where you came to a halt. In 95% or more of the cases it works great. However, from time to time, you might get outside the normal parameters, and it might tell you you grabbed another wire that you did. In the case you don't get any score at all after coming to a full stop (this can happen if the wire doesn't pull you back for whatever reason), you can turn 180 degrees and stop right next to where you came to the halt, just a hair more aft, and the score should trigger. If you don't do this, the script will think that you boltered the next time you launch. Sorry for the inconvenience. It's just really hard to tweak these things to absolute perfection.
