4.101 Support & Bug Reporting

I think it's time for a track. I can't reproduce this either. Sinks with direct hit with a 1000lb bomb.

Hmmm... interesting. The problem with making a track is that you don't see where the bomb hits, it goes invisible once released!

Since you guys cannot reproduce it, then the problem must be on my end. I've got a vanilla 4.10.1 installation and the same effect has been reported by two other squadmates.

We'll cast doubt on our conclusion and do some more testing. Thanks for your feedback gents.

Bombs don't disappear when released when recording a track. Not unless you're online and the ping time is too high.

I know this for a fact because one of the track recordings I made for the Storm Clouds campaign tracks the bombs as they are dropped from the bomb bay of a Mosquito. It works quite well

As IceFire stated, bombs do not disappear after release...track or no track. You can clearly see the bomb about to hit the hull in my first pic from earlier. I took that screenshot from the track I recorded of my test mission. You can see the clock timer in the lower right corner.

If your bombs are disappearing, that may be part of your problem. Possibly some corrupt files? I would think about a fresh re-install of IL-2.

Maybe you're right, my installation has somehow become corrupt. Thanks for your help, I retract this bug report.

This may have been mentioned, but I think there's an online bug in which bailing out after a kill still awards the player with the full 100 points, rather than half. Is there a reason for this, or is it indeed a bug?
