U2 A/A Weapons
-
I have just upgraded to U2 yesterday and almost everything worked as advertised. However, I found out that none of the air-to-air weapons hit any targets at all. Some of the shots were at less than four miles. The weapon tracks toward the enemy aircraft and all on its own accord, it breaks away from the target. That is with AIM-9 missiles. the AIM-120 missiles lose track as soon as they are fired. So far in my tests I have fired over 200 A-A missiles and have not recorded even one single hit.

- Were you using STT mode
- Were they maneuvering
- Did you wait till pitbull

ACMI or video? What theater, or other mods?

Thanks for the response. For the AIM-9’s I fired from approximately four nm down to 1nm. The weapons would turn toward the target and simply seem to wander off on their own course. I made a video of one of the flights in the 08 Intercept training mission, however, I am not sure how to get it into this post. The AIM 120’s lost lock immediately after launch from ranges down to four nm. The HUD showed a flashing reticle. The targets were all maneuvering but not too much. With update 1, I would have destroyed all two hundred of these targets. U2 I am zero for 200 so something is off, right?
Thanks,

@Raven8tr I’m not huge into AA so I’ve only fired 3 amraam since the U2 update, all 3 scored hits.
Either I’m super lucky or you’re really really super unlucky or something is borked on your install.
Theaters? Mods?

Raven8trok so first thing.
if you want to post a video or ACMI the quickest way to to upload it to onecloud or dropbox any cloud based storage system will work than copy the location link and post the link into your next post.
Secondly did this happen in Korea or Balkans or some other theatre?? I have had problems like this but only in Balkans.

You have been reporting several issues so far that seem to point to a very strange state of BMS…
A re-install might be required…

Thanks sir,
I did just that. However, I only installed 4.37 and U1. This combination seems to be fully functional at this point. I am very appreciative of the work you have done to make this experience so dang realistic that it is hard to believe. The graphics are stunning, and the action is heart pounding.I am, at this point holding off on upgrading until perhaps U3 is out.
thanks again,
Raven8tr

If you fired 200 AA missiles including all type and none of them are working , there is a very high probablility that the problem is on your side since what you describe here would of course be a total showstopper for the community , and , well, that’s not the case hopefully right now

well, if just flying single-player you can certainly do that. some notes to add, if you want to try U2 again.

don’t install anywhere under C:\Users or C:\Program Files … this has been causing a variety of weird problems for people. BMS really wants to be in its own top-level folder, ‘C:\Falcon BMS 4.37’ or similar.
-
don’t install any third-party tools, mods or theaters, until you’ve verified ok behavior on stock KTO
-
you’re under no obligation to help beta-test but if there is any bug in BMS, it won’t get found or fixed if nobody else can repro it… so, if you want to see U3 improvements, you’ll have to share more details – system specs, log files, ACMI or video clips… anything that could help the devs understand what is going wrong on your system.

@Raven8tr it would be nice if you can share information (your HW, for example, ACMIs of your tests etc).
JP here has been working a lot on aim120 and I assure you he saw all kinds of weird behavior you can imagine during testing. So, if you wanna help us, please share more information.

Well he reported 200 missiles shot and 200misses including a bunch of IR as well
I don’t even know where to start with considering the total abnormal behavior here !!!

Thanks for replies, gentlemen.
I took your advice and removed the U2 torrent and then downloaded it again and reinstalled it. At this time, that has fixed the problem.
Thanks
