Title: Fuel selection bug
Post by: Shane on June 18, 2004, 11:21:29 AM
Sometimes it's hard to click on the fuel load you want.. repeated clicks until it sets... and then if you're not paying attn it can jump back to 25% on its lonesome before you leave the hangar.

Yep, I have noticed the same.

Definitely have been caught by chatting while in the hangar and after a set time the hangar seems to reset the load out to default (i.e. 25% fuel, etc.).

Couple of squaddies caught by the same thing .. too long in the hangar, it switching back to 25% fuel, and then taking off thinking they had 100% fuel.

I have seen this several times too. However, I found that whatever I selected initially was the actual loadout when I spawned. So, I have been ignoring the bug. but paying close attention to what I select.

My regards,

Hmmm I've found if I go to the tower and then up the fuel I selected seems to be there????

Can also go to tower then back to hanger and set fuel again but is a pain even so.

I have noticed this too. Loadout resets as well, but when looking at the plane model, the bombs selected are still under the wings, so I guess it is only the markers that switch.

Maybe not a bug, but why is it selecting 100% fuel, when your pointer is nearly halfway over the 75% barrel.
Also the bomb/gunselection in the 110 highlights the loadout wrong.

added pictures.

First shows cursor over 75% barrel, but 100% is being selected.

Second shows 500Kg bombs loaded, (as can be verified by the pic), but the wrong loadout is highlighted.
As a added bonus you can also see wingtanks and bombs on plane when it displays I should be flying clean.

Here too.  It is annoying, but the right loadout seems to be there..

Notice the hit rectangles you pass the cursor over doesn't correspond to the loadout graphics meaning you pass your cursor over one 'table' but another loadout 'table' is selected.

Hit rectangles fixed for next patch. Still trying to duplicate the fuel not moving.

I also noticed that you have trouble selecting fuel load , i.e. if I try to change fron 25 to 100, i have to click on 50 or 75 first.It does'nt seem to want to change from 25 to 100
 I seem to remember the same with bomb load in a fighter also,,I'll try to remember to check that next time I'm up

I posted on this problem with patch #40, it was cleared up by patch #41. Now it's back.

If this clue is any help.

I have the same prob. If you switch 1 item at a time it will work.
i.e. fuel from 25 to 50 then 75 then 100. If you jump from 25 straight to 100 it will change the loadout but not the graphic in the hanger.

Same thing here.  First time I enter the hangar, the fuel almost always moves itself to 25%, and the only way to get it to 100 is to go to 50 or 75 first.  Once it's set back on 100, it seems to stay there until I leave the hangar though.

It does seem that although graphically the "tables" revert back to some sort of default position (being 25% fuel and other minimal load outs) the actual load out selected is retained.


It is annoying tho..........reminds me of a web site where a window kept dodging the mouse curser!

HiTech



The only thing with fuel moving is sometimes i have to hit 50% or 75% 1st
and lately after a few seconds it flips back to 25% on its own
