4.33 Issues (Known or not)
-
Is the F-16 center pylon supposed to jettison with the 300 gallon tank or not?
As said no it is not
That one has always amused me as neither wing nor centerline tanks separate with the pylons attached. The pylons are bolted to the wing or centerline and the carts only open the feet which allows the tanks to fall away.
Actually 370 gal tanks on station 4 and 6 do take the whole pylon with them. The whole thing comes off. Don’t know about 600 gal tanks.
So it looks like BMS has the behavior reversed since the wing tanks dont come off with the pylon (and they should) and the centerline comes off with the pylon (but shouldn’t)
-
I never realized but the 370 gallon tanks go onto that station without a weapons pylon. The tank assembly itself has a sort of integrated pylon and the whole thing gets released as a unit. There’s a little diamond pad at the top of all the pylons which might house release gear or otherwise be structural support. It turns out that weapons pylons and when using 600 gallon tanks the pylon is not jettisonable (not a config choice, physically incapable). The 600 is physically able to be jettisoned but safe separation certification isn’t complete. I would guess the center pylon station 5 is fixed but a 300 slung there can be punched off of course.
-
Yeah spot on the 370 pylons are integrated……the 600s use a standard parent pylon ( MAU-12 ?)
You can change this in bmsrack.dat

is anyone having problems with RECON maps in campaign? Some waypoints weher already assigned in crisp new missions, other issues is taking too long for the recon map to open or to respond once opened.
-
Don’t know if this has been mentioned already, but just noticed that the debriefing in campaigns is cut off at the bottom.

The F/A-18 does not have FLIR enabled. It can load the TGP, it has an inoperable switch on the panel, FLIR is an option in the MFD screen select, but it doesn’t function. Dunno if it was forgotten, or a bug has it not available. But given that we don’t have ILS, it would be nice for weather landings.

why dont you have ILS ???
-
Think he means the Carrier doesnt have ILS?
-
Plane invisible when taxiing when in Satellite view - the shadow was there on the taxiway but the plane model was missing. I believe it was Kunsan airbase.
That’s not a bug, that’s the new stealth plane.

Tomcat was right, the carrier doesn’t have ILS. But it’s still an issue if you’re trying to go in low against a target to do a pop-up against it. It’d just be nice to have a function of the switch that’s there. I was looking forward to 4.33 because I was extremely excited to have a great Hornet sim (because I think even after DCS Hornet releases, I’m still going to like the BMS mechanics more). And a couple key features are missing. I can deal without the ILS. But it’d be nice to have FLIR.

TGP works. You didn’t bring a TGP with you, its in “other”, an/asq 228 atflir
Another bug with the hornet though:
While the G-breathing effects are playing, if you switch to the Aim-9, the sidewinder growl stops the breathing sound effect.
Only seems to happen with f/a-18c and f/a-18d , does not happen with the super hornets.

Did we said that there might be a problem with night lights on runways?
Monday on TE MP flight more than one flight member asked the tower but no lights.
I called #1 command a previous member asked for the new tower command Autonomous
Airport was Chongju.The no lights was same for all flight members

Most probably wrong frequency …
Or maybe a MP glitch…
but in the thousands of ATC testing we have done to test the new ATC, never seen this…
ATC is still under construction though, expect major upgrades in 3 to 4 weeks
-
Frequency was correct we could hear the tower. The tower even gave me instructions.
Also the frequency was verified via DTC in UI with the set tower button. -

bah probably a glitch
if you can reproduce it in a reliable way / reproductibe pattern, make a proper bug report
that seems very unlikely though since Lights are ON as long as aircraft are in the ATC queue which is obviously the case if ATC was guiding you

Also the frequency was verified via DTC in UI with the set tower button.Some airports use the same frequency, so you can be on the right frequency and still get ATC from the wrong airport (even if the other airport is much farther away). Maybe that happened in this case?

nope,
the ATC code choses the closest

No Lights …Austerity measures ? Please pay the Bill by due date.
-
Frequency was the correct. I said it already.
Cross checked from docs of BMS and in ui in Dtc I selected the use tower, the freq it showed was the same as in the doc.
And let’s say I did a mistake and entered the wrong freq, so all other 4 flight members did the same mistake?
When we debriefed all 4 members that landed on the same airport said that lights where off. Before starting landing procedure we where instructed by our lead to switch to tower freq.
I saved the mission, I will try it again when able. -
Airbases are supposed to keep some lights off until I think the landing aircraft is on final.
