AGM-45A/B Shrike behaves as if mounted upside-down. #640

In DCS 2.9, the AGM-45 A/B shrikes do not reliably track. This is ED's issue to fix.

DCS bug report

Since firing Shrikes from player aircraft is not a DCS base game feature, ED cannot test it in their QA process. :(

Hello guys, the AGM-45 still not working :/

dharmab commented 5 months ago

@MarcosCamper There is nothing that the A-4 devs can do because this is a DCS core bug. And the DCS devs are limited in what they can do because this bug cannot be tested in an unmodded game.

Maybe if the Heatblur F-4 gets a Shrike this could change but for now there's a deadlock.

Testing by other users seems to suggest that the Shrikes are installed "upside down" compared to the way they should be. Try launching the missiles so that the emitters are above the gunsight, rather than below them (as you would "in real life")

WORKAROUND:

Aim at the enemy placing it between the 4th and 6th line above the boresight (no reticle depression).
Fire the Shrike
The shrike should start lofting in 2 seconds, that means it's tracking.
same procedure if fired upside down

callmepartario commented 1 month ago

shrikes are indeed tracking, but the game is currently mounting shrikes upside down. there may be a fix coming from ED down the pipe for the F-4, and we will revisit this issue at that time.

F4 is already added to dcs, can it be fixed now?
