Launch Limbo --- GE HCCE B10

 

When aircraft are either launching or landing, if the aircraft in the group are destroyed before the group is fully launched/landed, the aircraft that have not yet launched to / already landed from the group are stranded in limbo either as launching or landing.

 

Ferry unlimited --- GE HCCE B10

 

AI can launch unlimited number of aircraft on ferry mission. If aircraft are destroyed before the flight is finished launching, the AI just continues until the original full flight is launched.

Hostile Neutrals --- GE HCCE B10

Hostile Neutrals B --- GE HCCE B10

 

Blue units not engaged by Neutrals even though they enter AAW range.

 

Neutral Range Circles --- GE HCCE B10

 

Range circles for Neutral units appear to be controlled by Blue selection. They do not match Range circles for Blue. i.e. Blue SAM range circle is for Neutral SSM, Blue Active Sonar is for Neutral SAM, Blue Passive Sonar is for Neutral Air radar,...

Range miscalculation --- GE HCCE B10

 

Aircraft will launch at targets well outside of fuel range.

I found that a Seahawk going military at VL did not have it's fuel reduced accordingly.

Red aircraft with standoff weapons seem to follow the ordinance in to target, making them sitting ducks to counter attack. I've seen this particularly against bases. They should launch and leave.

I've seen that, too. However, I haven't been able to nail down the circumstances. It happens sometimes and not other times. Can you provide a test file or point to an instance where this has definitively occurred?

 

I've been trying to set up a repeatable situation in order to send a report to AGSI, but haven't been able to do it on purpose. I just see the same thing when I play.

Have Nap malfunction --- GE HCCE B11

 

AGM-142 Have Nap cannot hit the target. This missile has the Command Guidance and Mid-Course Guidance flags. Under manual control, they can hit if the player remains in the area. However, under AI control, the attacking aircraft launch and immediately turn for home base so the missiles always miss.

Herman, you already reported this one. (See the second entry on page 1). I guess the problem persists, and I expect it is the same with all of the "man in the loop" weapons ? (Eg. GBU-15).

You are right. I did kind of report it already. I've placed this second report just underneath the previous one.

 

I've taken the liberty of adding to it since I have been able to refine details and created a Sample file to more easily show the behaviour.

 

I think that you are correct in that this problem will appear for any weapons using those those weapon flags.

SSMs don't fire --- GE HCCE B11

 

SSMs will only fire at very close range (about 25nm) even though they have 300nm maximum range.

HCCE B12:

 

Scenario Editor: If you add a red base, but in your units, then 'close' the add installation editor, it takes you back to "Add Blue Base" instead of closing. It does this no matter what side base you just entered (of course if you are adding blue bases its actually quite usefull...LOL).

Kaman (Late) and PTM Houdong entries in the HCDB cause a crash if you attempt to look at their weapons load. This appears to be caused by the name of the mount CSS-N-8 Saccade (YJ-82/C802) Twin and the fact that the vessels have two such mounts that are grouped together. When only one mount appears, there is no problem. At a guess, the problem is with either the Syntax, length of the mount name, or a combination of both

Work-Around Solution: Shortening the Mount Name to "CSS-N-8 Saccade (YJ-82) Twin" appears to eliminate the problem.

 

The Problem has occoured with other mounts,too!
