Alarm Loiter is bugged!

Post by tiag »

Hey guys,

After firing the ALARM MK1 in BOL mode, it stays forever hanging in loiter mode. Is that bug known? I am running CMO 1.01 Build 1143.1.

Best regards

Hi,

I actually had a similar thing with MALD-J's ... when they reached their final navpoint, speed dropped to '0' and height slowly decreased (as if on a parachute). Will share a save, next time I see it.

The height on the ALARM does not change...it keeps floating there forever at different altitudes each time I tried to reproduce.

Here are two files:

Loiter Bug Repro Case contains the scenario at the beginning, i.e. with a Tornado before firing an ALARM
Loiter Bug Repro Case 2 is the same scenario after the ALARM has been shot and is loitering forever.

I could reproduce this bug only for the ALARMs Blk 1 and 2. Other weapons (TALDs, ITALDs, MALDs, etc) with the same loiter flag in the DB do not show this bug. Hope this helps you to narrow down the source of it.

Thank you, Michael!

FYI, Alarm bug there again. This time different, it reaches 30ft and flies supersonic forever. No parachute hanging.
Will report on GitHub, with save file. I guess this is the way now, correct?

No, the Github tracker is only for DB requests (at least for now).

It seems that the bug returned....this time in a different way.

Description:
- ALARM Block 1 and 2 are not hanging on the parachute. They never loiter. Just chrashed directly on the ground.
- Tried different situations like BOL shots as well as turning off enemy radar manually but without any success.
