Corvidae Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Kinda odd how it's apparently only bugged for some people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purpi Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Tested without the GAU pod and the SA missile works, I install the GAU pod again and the 1st SA missile works, I charge the mission again and it does not work anymore it just shoots the cannon. strange conflict with the GAU pod and SA missiles.

SandMan23 Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 Agreed - conflict with the GAU pod and SA. Was able to fire SA's without gun pod, but could not select SA from the MPCD. Could only select with the Armament panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warlock1606688821 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Repairing does not fix the problem, continues firing the cannon and sometimes fires the missile and sometimes the cannon only. great hotfix, fix maverick and break SA. 8)-- SA was broken before last update, at least for me. And still broken now. It shoots the gun instead SA , even when selecting them again in the MFDs Sometimes work , some doesn't. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warlock1606688821 Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Problem is not selecting it but firing it. It won't get a lock if its not already in A/G mode :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't get a lock if its not already in A/G mode :no: What are the other parameters when this occurs? What load out? Is DMT or TGP activated(on mfcd)? ECM jammer on?

Spectre1986 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Same Sidearm Bug Here I also get this bug. I can't get the sidearm to fire after it locks. I turn master arm on, hit A\G, then select the SA. If I have the gun pod equipped the gun fires, if I go without it nothing happens. I try selecting the SA through the RWR, the hardpoint button, or the weapons page. It won't fire. I started in the air and tried with a few different AA units. I tried about a dozen different times. I'll try the repair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warlock1606688821 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I found a way to reproduce the fail 100% of the times , at least for me. Only sidearm load out, no gunpod or anything else. -Fresh DCS start. -Load test mission, air start. -Select sidearm, go A/G mode, Sidearm fires as expected, no problem. -Press * A/A Mode DOWN: Gun * button , (C in keyboard) -Back to sidearm A/G mode , not firing anymore, even if you load the mission again. Not only that, but it won't fire again until you restart DCS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectre1986 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I am happy to report that after doing a cleanup and then a repair the sidearms are working as expected. I can fire both and it doesn't seem to matter what method I use to select them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that, but it won't fire again until you restart DCS. I can confirm, I was able to reproduce the problem following your steps now. Before cleanup/repair it wouldn't fire at all, if reloading the sim doesn't work for you then try running a cleanup and repair. Here is an easy guide on that. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/support/faq/709/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandMan23 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I have run both clean up and repair. Will work in one mission then not the next. Not consistent. This has to be a bug. 6 months in on a module without consistent basic weapons capability. Mavericks were broken. Last update fixes Mavericks and breaks Sidearm, and still not armament panel ripple and interval capabilities. I think that more than enough time has elapsed since launch to have the basic items addressed in a ground attack aircraft. Please get this stuff fixed.

Warlock1606688821 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Shit happenz guys. Only criticism doesn't help a lot. Lets help where we can , report the bugs and hope the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectre1986 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 From what I can tell, switching to the air to air gun at all prevents the sidearm from working until you close the sim and restart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skebengwa Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I have the same bug. Sometimes it fires, most of the time it doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todd022 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I'm having similar issues between GBU-12/AIM-9. I went into dogfight mode, then pressed AG mode and selected GBU-12s....hit the pickle and AIM-9s came flying off the rails. There seems to be some real corrupted weapons coding conflicts.

iLOVEwindmills Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Any word on this being fixed? Not being able to use the sidearm at all anymore really sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iLOVEwindmills Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Yeah and then it works once or twice and then it stops working again. It's pretty clearly not a realistic workaround to restart DCS whenever it stops working. There's no point in running sorties when it is completely unreliable.

ApoNOOB Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Not sure if this might be related: Earlier I selected aim9 and switched back to a2g + GBU 12 selected. When I went to roll in on a lazed target (JTAC&CCIP), instead of dropping GBU12, one Aim9 fired. Steps to replicate: 1. Select either Aim9 via either Boresight/SEAM. 2. Switch to A2G mode. 3. Fire - Aim9 launches. If you unselect GBU12 on stores page and reselect it, GBU12 will drop. edit: OpenBeta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
