[KC45]

FCR still detect ghost target.

And here is the save file.

Thanks, we'll take a look.

Which campaign is this from ?

[KC45]

Thank you. That is my WIP project.

Wow, it's a big one.

Will you put it in the forum for non-steam users?

Sure, I will put thread of Mods and Scenarios section someday.

Hi, could you provide additional information on how this ghost target is generated? I haven't been able to reproduce the issue locally. Does it still show up for you after loading the scenario?

[KC45]

I'm sure they are units got shot down, there were JZ-8F or UAVs and I notice when I reload the scen file, they just disappear. So the scen files I uploaded was Kind of Nothing. Sorry about it. But I played this scenario for twice after the latest Update came, and I experienced twice. Another thing I notice was They only shoot AAM-5 (short range IR missile) and 20mm Guns, not AAM-4B(AMRAAM-class).
I will check my game's update did it correctly.

Here is a minimal scenario save which can create a non existant unit bug. Play the scenario forward to around 14:00:00 Zulu and observe the F/A-18 on the OPFOR side take off and attempt to engage a currently nonexistant MALD-J (it will take off shoot a couple MALD-J down and land again, but the bug only appears when it takes off the second time).

If on loading the scenario, the ready time of the F-18 is set to 1 hour and 30 minutes (so that the MALD-J run out of fuel before the F-18 launches for the first time) it will not attempt to engage the MALD-J. This also does not happen with Air Intercept missions.

Thank you!

This was exactly what I was trying to describe (poorly) in this thread tm.asp?m=4613576

I just saw this as well. In the attached save, Flight Spiff50 just launched a couple of Sidewinders at I don't know what....

I think I also saw this in Havana Daydreaming. The unit was different, but I also think it was a Sidewinder variant that was fired.

[LMychajluk]

Here's another one.... Same scenario, different flight. Same general area. Maybe it's location related?

I was expecting Flight TopGun40, which was engaged offensive, to attack the 2 J-20s to the west. When they started firing, I noticed there were no weapons allocated to the J-20s, and then realized they were firing Sidewinders from 1000ft ASL.

[RoryAndersonCDT]

Thanks, I think we have this one fixed. Special thanks to Zanthra, couldn't have found it without your scenario. Getting a tiny scenario with only a few units that shows the issue is super helpful.

I believe I have just experienced the same issue on the scenario "Fire and Brimstone" on Northern Inferno.

[Darren_H_slith]

Here is the save file of the event right after it happened. My F4's seem to be firing at non-existent air targets. This is happening for me since I set the doctrine to "Winchester engage targets of opportunity with air to air guns PREFERRED".

[Dimitris]

Fixed in Build 1009.27.8.

[KC45]

Thanks! I'll check.
