BMS Freezes during LGB Training mission (BMS 4.33)
-
After a little bit of testing, I’ve discovered seemingly random parameters for the sim to freeze up while trying to do the LGB training mission. After destroying the first crane (yellow), and setting up for the DTOS on the red crane, I’ve experienced the freeze three times now. It happens when I’m around 500 ft. over the water, 360 I/B to the target, when my airspeed reaches around 540-545KIAS (0.8 mach). I’ve also tried immediately setting up for the DTOS on the red crane from an airstart, without going after the yellow one, and I get the same freeze when I am within those constraints.
The last time it froze, I thought I was starting to hear the aircraft beginning to go through the soundbarrier, so I fired up the AR training mission and just firewalled the throttle to see if it was an issue with going supersonic. In the AR mission, I had no issues. I transitioned through mach 1 at 15000 ft, and then dove down to try the same at 500ft. Other than the normal airframe buffeting, there were no issues at any altitude. The sim only seems to freeze up when on the LGB mission.
Can anyone else replicate this?
-
never had that issue.
-
Any ideas why it would lock up on me?
-
Just an update, tried again, and this time the sim locked up at around 1500ft and 567kias. Is there some phenomenon that is supposed to be happening (sound barrier maybe, although Mach readout is between 0.8 and 0.9) that is causing it to lock up on me?
-
I got structural failure on that mission in the past with that loadout near the limit at 500ft / <540KCAS……no freeze issues just the pylons sticking through the wings. It was reported on another thread.

Normal behaviour
Don’t overstress the weapon config limitsPretty sure I was not overstressing the limit it was given as 550KCAS/M0.95……cant believe they would give it a speed limit with pretty much 0 structural margin…although I can probably find that out what would be considered acceptable for a manual limit.

i found that most of the time I overstress with G rather than speed. Especially on TFR trying to fight a fly up without the paddle.

Looks set to be zero margin in the sim, though. Same as pulling G.

This sounds like what I was experiencing. I know I heard something one of the times it froze. Kind of disconcerting that the sim’s reaction to the structural damage would cause it to freeze. Anyway, I was following what the training text said (550kias at 500ft), but I admittedly did not do any performance planning. You know what they say about assuming…

The sim locking up is not a normal reaction to structural damage.
