Possible Bug w/ rocket aim assist in PWCG

[dburne]

Pat,

 

I may have run across maybe a little bug here.

 

I do not get a rocket aiming assist (yellow) marker in any of my ground attack missions flying the Yak-1 in my PWCG Campaign.  As you know previously, I found I had to go in and manually select either bombs or rockets on any ground attack missions rather than them being loaded by default.

 

Well now it seems, if I choose rockets, the aiming assist marker will not come on. No problem with the aiming assist marker for the bombs, it will always come on. But the rocket aim assist I can never get to come on.

 

I don't know if this might be related to having to manually select the load-outs for any ground target missions or not, or if this is indeed a bug within PWCG, thought I would report it just in case.

 

I have confirmed the rocket aiming assist marker does work outside of PWCG missions, works just fine in any stock BoS quick missions.

Of course I realize I may well be the only weenie in here flying PWCG that actually uses the aiming assist markers! And I don't use them enough flying the Yak for it to really matter that much, I'm mostly curious as to why this is I guess.

 

Thanks,

If it is PWCG related I don't know how.  I thought aiming assist was defined in game by preferences and not defined in the mission file (PWCG only creates a mission file).

That make sense, which makes this even more confusing for me. I have no earthly idea why the same rocket aiming assist marker works outside of PWCG, but not in my PWCG mission. 

 

Again no biggie, but dang it is one of those things that is very puzzling to me and I would love to be able to know why lol.

 

Also the rocket and bomb aiming assist are bound to the same command, which makes it even more puzzling with bomb aiming working and rockets not.

 

Thanks for the feedback, if I think of anything else or a light bulb goes off will let you know.

I want to know myself (I also posted in your thread in General).  It is certainly not by intent.  UNtil this moment I didn't even think it was possible to have this kind of impact through the mission file.

 

The only thing that I can think of is that weapons load is a combination of weapons value and mod mask.  Wondering if something might be wrong there.

 

Edit: only Yak Ser 69 is available right now in PWCG.

Pat any possibilty this is related to the other issue I found? When loading a ground attack mission in PWCG  bombs or rocket are not loaded by default, one has to go in and manually select them prior to starting the mission?

 

Say for instance the mission was designed to be flown with bombs, however I upon going in to manually select my load-out choose rockets?

 

Course that still I would guess not make sense on how it might be related to an aiming assist marker...
