Bug Report: Active sonobuoys dropped passively

Post by hermanhum »

Active sonobuoys dropped passively
    Sonobuoys with active-only sonar systems are dropped in passive mode even when the "Drop Active Sonobuoy" hotkey is depressed.

Hermann,

Ran your test scene and I was able to deploy both types of sonobouys.
I had to drop the Tracker to low altitude, and use the , hot key for the LOFAR bouys, and the . hot key for the CASS bouys.

However when I used the [ hot key for directional passive bouys, it did drop a CASS bouy, and when I used the ] hot key for directional active bouys it did nothing, same with the { hot key for best passive bouy, and the } hot key for best active.

I have posted this up to AGSI.

Thanks Hermann.

Please note that the most important problem is the fact that:

The sonobuoys are deploying and remaining passive.  In H3.6.3 and 3.7.0 (IIRC), these same sonobuoys dropped and immediately turned on their Active Sonar.  This is not the case in 3.7.1.

The Hotkey discrepancy is very minor when compared to this problem.
