Wavehopper Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 (edited) Can someone confirm if they are having issues with the Sparrow? None of the Aim-7's I've fired this evening have tracked a target, all of them have gone stupid off the rail. I don't know if it's a bug or if I'm doing something odd.

uri_ba Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Is it just the 7s that don't work? Or do the 54 and 9 also affected?

Cocker Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Is it just the 7s that don't work? Or do the 54 and 9 also affected? No problem with the Sidewinders, didn't try the Phoenix yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain_dalan Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I had no time to fly since the OB update, but i just ran the Constant Peg III gen, on auto (both sides flown by the AI) and the AIM-7M seams to be working. Yes, it's wonky and eats chaff like there's no tomorrow, but at least it attempts to track the target. So, whatever this bug is, it seams to effect only player controlled birds.

fat creason Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 We're trying to find the cause of this, the Sparrow worked on our testing versions over the weekend (and still works on our testing versions) and we haven't changed anything on our side regarding Sparrows in a very long time. Seems to be magically broken in this in specific OB version. Systems Engineer & FM Modeler Heatblur Simulations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BodyOrgan Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I'd like to point out the 7MH tracks for me, but the 7M does not. I have not tested the 7F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SgtPappy Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 So i did some testing and it appears that it only happens to player-controlled birds with AIM-7M and the AIM-7MH for me. AIM-7F's still guide. AIM-54A (both types) and AIM-54C seem to be working fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven (Elysian Angel) Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 The issue seems to be the radar: I tested the Caucasus free flight Instant Action mission, and neither Sparrow variants work for me: F, M and MH all dumb-fire. Sidewinders can't be slaved to the radar either, for me they only work in boresight mode if I point the missile's seeker directly at the target... (Sparrows work just fine when fired by a Hornet, and Sidewinders slave correctly to the F-18's radar as well) Spoiler Ryzen 9 5900X | 64GB G.Skill TridentZ 3600 | Gigabyte RX6900XT | ASUS ROG Strix X570-E GAMING | Samsung 990Pro 2TB + 960Pro 1TB NMVe | HP Reverb G2 Pro Flight Trainer Puma | VIRPIL MT-50CM2+3 base / CM2 x2 grip with 200 mm S-curve extension + CM3 throttle + CP2/3 + FSSB R3L + VPC Rotor TCS Plus base with SharKa-50 grip mounted on Monstertech MFC-1 | TPR rudder pedals OpenXR | PD 1.0 | 100% render resolution | DCS "HIGH" preset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captain_dalan Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 (edited) Confirmed on the 7M's. They don't work. Radar modes work. 7F and MH work. At least withing 10NM.

captain_dalan Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I think i found a correlation, allbeit a strange one. If i give the bandit some missiles, then the Sparrows won't track. If i strip the bandit clean (guns only) the Sparrows work fine.
