v1.08 (Build-1645) Cruise missiles fly straight, without plotting a route.

[foxid259]

v 1.08 Public Beta- Build 1645.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, or there is a bug in the game.
In the test scenario, when trying manual start (Shift+F1) to launch cruise missiles of the type:
AS-23A,
RGM-109E,
9M729 Iskaner-K

As seen in the screenshots, in the launch window - the button "PLOT COURSE" - is not active.
The only active button is "De-Allocate select" - it does not remove the selected missiles from the launch window.

You have to select the allocated missile and then you can add waypoints

I agree with you that you need to select a cruise missile and define the route points.

But even in your screenshot, when selecting a missile, the "PLOT COURSE" button is not active.
This is exactly the problem I am reporting...

Well, I'm just looking at that screenshot. Isn't the option active on the top right section of the window?

[foxid259]

The route setting option is activated by the "PLOT COURSE" button - which is at the bottom of the right window, on the right side at the bottom.

There is also a PLOT COURSE in the middle (below the first sub-window on the right that works. This was confusing for me as well at some point

Should the option also be available below for "Weapons allocated to selected target"? If so, it might be worth investigating why it doesn't work. Otherwise, it might be worth removing unused clutter from the menus at some point.

Both buttons are working here, and I do not think it is redundant, you may attack the same target from different platforms.

I found the reason why chowmu doesn't have a selection of points.

1. first you need to select cruise missiles in the "Weapons allocated by selected attacker(s)" window
2. then only select the cruise missile in the "Weapons allocated to selected target" window

Only after that the "Plot course" button becomes active in the upper and lower windows.

But there is an additional problem, after the route points are laid out, as can be seen from screenshot 2 - the cruise missile still flies straight to the target without turning.

This means that in order to apply the cruise missile's pivot points, you need to simultaneously define them first in the bottom window and then in the top window. THIS requires doing 2 jobs...

If you do the opposite, the top then the bottom window, the cruise missile will fly straight.
