[OLD BUG REPORTS] Cleaning and Organization of old posts

This is weird, I can call the ATC with engine OFF to start up.

Are you sure battery and radio are ON ?

Positive. Yeah so the ATC does work but receiving sounds over the radio (as happens in the campaign) does not work. You can check this by toggling the UHF SIL switch: if only the battery is on you do not hear any static. If the engine or ground power is on, you do hear static.

Turning on the ground power does also fix the issue, although as I understand it the ground power is optional in the Mirage (the plane certainly starts without it). It's also very confusing because with just the battery on the radio looks like it should work. The frequency display works, you can change presets or interact with the VHF displays, you can call ATC .. you just can't receive audio.

The very first post was 12-28-2015

5 years later, still not fixed ^^

Well well, i'm still in love with Razbam :lol:

Yes, had an excellent opportunity to try it in Coup d'Etat M03 when you are to visually ID an unknown aircraft but bummer...it doesn't work. :(

2.5.6 full release.

When carrying Cluster bombs and LGB's, there is no EL1 in the PCA. BF6 is shown on PCA 2. BFG s shown on weapons display PPA Test Weapons load-out.

Can not see LGB (EF1) on PCA when a mixed load is carried.

Is this a new limitation for realism in the Charlie, or is it a bug?

Or is it me?

Cheers.

You can't mix any weapon except magics.

Examples:

530+magics = ok

530+magics+mk-82 = not ok

BLG+GBU = not ok

Rockets+magics = ok

Rockets+mk-82+magics = not ok

etc...

The plane can only have one extra weapon to the magics and the guns.

Eh...I don't think this is correct?

OK

What I found was the PCA light for the LGB button (EF1) was not lit up. If I selected the PCA button anyway, I could get the LGB's to drop. (Think it was PCA #3, the one to the right of the BFG PCA.

I carried the Cluster Bomb and LGB's in 2.5.5, no problem. The difference in 2.5.6 is the darned lamp wont light up so you think you cant arm the LGB!

Load was 4 Cluster Bombs and 4 LGB's, with 2 Magic's on outer pylons. Got em all off eventually.

The Charlie was always a favourite. Still is, although I need three HOTAS sticks plugged in to operate all the weapons! LOL!!

Cheers

BTW. The M2k Red Flag is now bugged. Baltic Dragon is having to squash the new bugs with 2.5.6!!

Eh...I don't think this is correct?

From the DCS M-2000C Manual, page 218

WEAPONS

 

The M-2000C can load a number of different air - to - air missiles and air - to -

ground munitions. However, due to limitations of the targeting computer, it is not

possible to mix Super 530D missiles with air-to-ground weapons, and not possible

either to mix different kinds of air-to-ground weapons. Doing so (for instance

rockets and bombs, Mk-82s and Belougas etc.) may result in system not being able

to handle the configuration and thus not work properly.

 

Caution

 

Do not mix air - to ground weapons, use only one type for the mission.

Failing to do so may result in inability to deliver any munitions.

I do confirm. Pull some g and cross other aircraft (friend or foe) and (raz)BAAAAMMMM ! Twice this afternoon. Obviously not fixed in 2.5.6 :-/

I did think that there was still a general issue with wake turbulence, resulting in the potential for an aircraft to experience upto nearly 30g?

It may be called impossible but you can quite sure use Magic, 530 and for example Mk82. I did it sometimes and Growling Sidewinder lately did as well in his mission on YT.

It might not be "right" to be able to do this but in fact you can in DCS..

EDIT: check it here...

It isn't specific to M-2000C. It's happening to F-16 too.

There was some HUD recording, and both modules have been seen suffering 25G+.

So it isn't about the module, it is about the wake turbulence simulation which is totally excessive. The best thing to do is too disable it right now since it's optional.

I have asked Zues to look at this one guys, will add to the tracker

Swell! :)

I took off with 2x 1700L Wing Tanks + 2x MAGIC + 2x GBU12.

I dropped the GBUs on target and went Back to base.

I used the Vide Vite to dump fuel before landing (open cache + press button), keeping the tanks under the wings, no drop in the beautiful sea.

After landing I went to refuel + rearm with the same configuration but the Wing Tanks remained empty.

Thinking I did it bad I tried to rearm a second time, but wing tanks still empty.

I rearmed with configuration without wing tanks: 2x MAGIC + 2x GBU12, and after that rearmed with initial configuration, here I got full petrol.

Thanks RAZBAM for your efforts.

From the DCS M-2000C Manual, page 218

Thanks for the heads up from the manual.

However if you load CBU's outboard and LGB's inboard, you wont see the LGB (EF1) on the PCA button. In spite of this they still show on the weapons display as loaded ordinance. However, if you select the next (unlit) PCA button inboard of the CBU, the weapon will drop and use the CCRP (auto) system.

We are told that the weapon system will select certain delivery methods for each munitions type. SO cbu HAS ccip AND lgb ccrp.

I miss the CCRP marker cross, but apparently its not available on the Charlie, only on the "D".

Cheers

Yes that's the same issue with fuselage tank.

If you land with it, it doesn't refuel.

By the way, wing tanks are 2000L :smilewink:

Thx DECOY ;)

In ou squadron, since the begining of this "incredible damn new bug", sorry feature :megalol: we never never never activate that on our training / mission ...

That's a bug :).

Is the fix out in last week's update ? I don't see any differences in the seat max positions.

Still don't see a difference in latest version. Has the fix been pushed in the last couple of updates or is it yet to be published on a future update?

Hello,

I remarked that since recently my wingmen are taxiing through me when I am waiting for ATC clearance to take off (red flag campaign).

Thus killing both of us.

Happened with #2 and #3...

Anyone?

Hello,

Slight discrepancy: codes on the IFF can only be chosen between 0000 and 7777 for mode 3, and between 00 and 55 for mode 1.

We should not have the digits above that on the cog-wheels...

Thanks!

That's a bug :).

But I like that one :D

I was speaking of OB btw, so there might be differences as well...?

I think this is the often report issue of totally bugged AI and taxiing behaviour. You will have to be patient until ED fixes it.
