Remarkymarkable Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Hi Guys, I've been doing a lot of practicing with GBU's lately and am hitting my targets consistently. The only problem is I can't get the auto laser to work. I have watched the tutorials, done the Precision Guided Munitions training mission repeatedly where the auto lase works. I go into a mission, enter DSMS, open the weapons profile page, scroll down to GBU 12, open the profile, change delivery to CCRP. Open change settings page, turn on auto lase, enter a lase time of 12-15 seconds, and save the settings. I climb to 12000-15000 feet, find the target on the TGP, run the release cue down the PBIL, hold the weapon release button at 10 on the countdown. The weapon releases, when the time of impact reaches my desired lase time; nothing. I then manually lase with the NWS switch and hit the target. It's not a big deal because I'm hitting my intended targets, but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slydog486 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Alright, before we go any further, I'd like to confirm the steps you are taking to use the auto-lasing system. 1) Master Arm - On 2) Laser Arm - On 3) TGP - On 4) Wait for TGP to start up 5) Change TGP to A-G Mode 6) On DSMS, go to Profiles page 7) Select the GBU-12/10 Profile, depending on the munition you're using 8) Change the release mode to CCRP 9) Enter the Settings portion of the DSMS 10) Turn Auto-Lase on, and set desired Auto-Lase time 11) Find target on TGP, set target as SPI 12) Fly over target in CCRP 13) When countdown timer reaches 5, hold weapons release until 0 14) Weapon release, ensure bomb tracks correctly Are there any other steps you are taking in there? Are there any you aren't? I've only used Auto-Lase a few times, but if you've done that, it should work properly IIRC.

blaueente Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 latch should be ON. because ... ? Latch On/Off just changes the behaviour of the Laser from ((Press NWS/Laser On-Press NWS/Laser Off) Latch ON) or ((Hold NWS/Laser On-Release NWS/Laser Off) Latch OFF (Standard)) mfg ente Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaconSarnie Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Thats why, use the UFC to select GBU12s or if you have it set up on your HOTAS, DMS left or right to select the stores, then drop. I had exactly the same issue as you, then someone told me to do it the way I've described and it worked. 1 And lo, Reverend Vegas did say "Take forth unto the infidel the mighty GAU 8 and expend its holy 30MM so that freedom will be brung upon them who knoweth not the joys of BBBBBBBRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTT" "Amen" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harzach Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Through DSMS on the MFCD Are you selecting the store on the DSMS page, or do you actually go to the DSMS profile page (OBS 1), highlight the desired profile (OBS 19/20), then make it the active profile (OBS 17)? The former selects the default profile for the weapon. The latter is tedious, IMO. An easier way is to select the appropriate weapon mode (Master Mode Switch) then cycle through to your desire profile using DMS Left/Right. The weapon profile is displayed in the lower left of your HUD. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remarkymarkable Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 OK, problem solved! I selected the weapon using the Master mode and DMS left/right and it worked like a charm! Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nooch Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I think there should be a sticky thread of some kind including all the common mistakes people make. It would be very handy and avoid users scratching their heads for days thinking the game is broken. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
