Just some JTAC Lasing GBU-12 Employment Demonstrationing :)

Just one question: despite the ability of using laser guided bombs spotted by JTAC, can the AV8B use laser to spot target autonomously with AN/AAQ-28V LITENING targeting pod?

I answered that in the video :)

I guess that AV8B N/A could probably change the laser code of the LITENING pod, because it is simple, but is it able to change PAVEWAY/JDAM's laser code like the A-10C ?

 

Yes you can change the laser code in the A-10, its pretty easy, for the AV8B I couldn't find much about it last night, and the section in the pocket guide was empty, so its either not implemented, or just not documented.

Sorry for that. My 3 years old son, when i watch any sort of dcs video, doesn't leave me alone. Take the joystick in his hands and try to fly, causing confusion in my head! :-D

I thought it was documented. There are two ways to change laser code:

 

If you are carrying laser guided weapons, there is a CODE option in the STRS page that is active when you select the weapon. I'm not sure if that is true for GBUs but it should. If it isn't then I will correct that.

 

The 2nd way is weapon independent: You go to the DMT page, and click on the CODE option.

 

You cannot edit the laser code from the TPOD (litening) page. Remember that the TPOD is not recognized as an aircraft sensor so integration is quite limited.

 

Laser code is entered via UFC.

 

Aircraft always start with default code 1111. You have to change it after you are in the air, because as soon as your wheels touch the ground the code will revert to 1111.

I either didnt see a section specifically on self lasing, or am blind and just didnt see it. I shall look again.

Self lasing is not enabled yet. I hope to have it working by next Friday along with other TPOD features.
