Hi,
First of all: I'm new here, but are using DCS quite some time. Bought the A10C in the christmas sale.
So far I'm getting along reasonably fair. However, I do have an issue with shooting mavericks. In short:
I created a mission (flying 6000ft above Batumi, enemy AAA at Kobuleti). I select the MAV (AGM64H) on the DSMS. EO is on, TGP is on, etc.
With the TGP I slew to one of the AAA targets. TMS up to make it Point. TMS up Long to make it SPI (I get 'TGP' in the HUD instead of 'STPT'.
China FWD Long, and the MAV on the right panel slews to the SPI. I wait till the target is in range (under 9nm) and start clicking TMS Up (with MAV as SOI) to try to get a lock. However: it will NOT lock the target, although it is pointing right at it.
What I have to do is slew the MAV sensor just a little under the target (I'm about 5nm out now....) so it starts moving again, and when it moves over the target again it locks itself.
This can't be how I should do it I guess, but I can't find it. Read (printed...) the manual and did the step-by-step actions as described. Also read the threads on this forum, but can't figure out why the MAV doesn't lock albeit the correct pointing at the target...
(again: when unbreak the lock from the SPI and move the MAV, it locks itself and I can shoot a missile...)
What, o what.. am I doing wrong...???
