Aircraft not loading munitions

[AndrewJ]

Hello,

I have found a situation where, for some reason, planes do not always seem to be readying their full loadout, even though there are appropriate munitions available at the base.

For example, here the Air Ops window shows a Mig-23 is ready with an A/A loadout of AA-7s and AA-8s.

(Sorry for posting these as text links, but apparently I am not allowed to post links or images until a week after my tenth post - not a very useful policy for someone who has just bought the game and wants to provide feedback!)

But if you launch the aircraft it doesn't have any AA-8s aboard.

Looking in the first image, the Details section of the Air Ops window shows that there are 0 AA-8s available at the base. However, the Magazine Status of the base shows that there are still 72 A-8s available in the first munitions bunker! It is only the third munitions bunker that has run out of AA-8s. For some reason the planes were initially loading from the third munitions bunker, and did not switch to the first munitions bunker after the third bunker became empty.

Has anyone else seen this sort of behaviour?

Thanks very much,

Andrew

Whoops! Forgot to add the savegame file.

Here it is.

Hi Andy

The aircraft carries the R-60TM but only R-60T are available.

Aha! That'll teach me to stop reading at the NATO reporting name... [:o]

Is there any provision for the use of earlier (but still compatible) versions of missiles when the best run out? Since the Mig23ML entered production in 1978, and the M version of the Aphid didn't show up 'till sometime around 82, it's clear the Mig23ML was also capable of using the basic missile.

No the db doesn't yet get into matching connector wires I'm afraid.

Best bet is to just jump in the editor and add the needed missiles.
