A10-C JTAC IR-pointer won't work.

[CoBlue]

Hi,

Latest beta, A10-C JTAC.

In the mission attached below, JTAC IR-pointer worked in 1.2 but in 1.5 it doesn't. Even if I build the mission from scratch in 1.5. JTAC says "no mark".

I can confirm this JTAG Laser wont work for Air ai units but it will with ground units!!! if you want to lase as Air AI you need somthing like this at the moment: I used it yesterday so it wortks on dcs MP 1.5! (only jtag status radio menü is broken but we dont need this)

 

This Script is for predator drones but i think it would also work with A10c

 

https://github.com/ciribob/DCS-JTACAutoLaze

 

place the JTAGS on the map and name it

then just run a once trigger how load the script. and then another once triger to activate the jtags these are the do script commands to activate the jtag:

 

JTACAutoLase('JTAC1', 1688)

Where JTAC1 is the Group name of the JTAC Group with one and only one JTAC unit and the 1688 is the Laser code.

 

You can also override global settings set in the script like so:

 

JTACAutoLase('JTAC1', 1688, false,"all")

This means no smoke marks for this JTAC and it will target all ground troops

 

JTACAutoLase('JTAC1', 1688, true,"vehicle")

This smoke marks for this JTAC and it will target ONLY ground vehicles

 

JTACAutoLase('JTAC1', 1688, true,"troop")

This means smoke marks are enabled for this JTAC and it will target ONLY ground troops

 

JTACAutoLase('JTAC1', 1688, true,"troop",1)

This means smoke marks are enabled for this JTAC and it will target ONLY ground troops AND smoke colour will be Red

 

JTACAutoLase('JTAC1', 1688, true,"troop",0)

This means smoke marks are enabled for this JTAC and it will target ONLY ground troops AND smoke colour will be Green

 

JTACAutoLase('JTAC1', 1688, true,"all", 4)

I cannot get ground ai to ir-lase a target. Please provide at least a track and explanation as to your setup to show that you have this working.

 

So far I have tried both armored and unarmored JTACs yet both, no matter what distance, have been unable to ir-lase.

Yes it's still broken, at least doing it the old way.

In this mission it works (v 1.5.2).
