Need some help firing Mavericks

[Spudknocker]

Hey guys! I am trying to fire the AGM-65's and I am having trouble with their weapons management...

 

First issue is I select the IRMV while in the stores menu and I wait the pre-req 3 minutes but they never go into READY mode ie ready to fire is there anything I am doing wrong?

 

Second issue is with either IR or EO Mavs when they are select them and then uncage the seeker the video feed on the left MPCD is just black and the missile is unslewable with the TDC (I have it bound to a mini-stick on a X-56) Why is the video feed only black?

 

Third bonus question... I keep trying to drop Mk-20 Rockeyes but they keep hitting the ground without breaking and scattering bomblets... Am I not meeting the required drop parameters for the weapon? I usually drop at about 1000-500 feet AGL

 

Thanks guys!

 

A mini tutorial in writing for the workflow for firing Mav's would be really appreciated!

 

Loving the Harrier thanks RAZBAM!

Black only video was mentioned somewhere else, needed a reinstall to fix. Other then that try to not point the Flight Path Marker (VVM) at the sky...since the seekers are slaved to it initially.

 

I also have trouble when I don´t air start with mavericks that they just never leave STBY mode...they never go RDY.

 

Oh and 1000 feet is pretty low for Rockeyes...they dispense after a certain fixed time after dropping. Try dropping from a higher altitude.

My mavs didn't become ready on the right MPCD but works fine on the left MPCD. But I do have problems with getting locks.

Currently TDC cannot be used with an axis, you have to use buttons.

Did you check the MK20 fuze settings?

[JackHammer89]

I am also having this problem, didn't realise they needed a 3min warm up but I spent about 30mins flying round some tanks trying to get the mavs to work. I also can get my TDC to slew, it tries to move then just pings back up to the original point. I assume it's something I'm doing wrong.

No, the TDC is still WIP.

[fargo007]

My mavs aren't launching.

 

 

Master arm is on, everything else seems fine. Missiles go ready.

 

I get a target locked up no problem, but spacebar or the mapped button won't launch it.

 

Am I missing something?

 

So far I love the Harrier. The frame rate is terrible at times though.

I had the same Problems. But...YouTube helps :smilewink:

[Niehorst]

same for me with the MAV's

 

did everything like in the video.

 

missiles show rdy in the MFCD. I get a lock via TDC and uncage the MAV's seeker. But they simply don't want to come of the rail.

 

I'm in A/G mode, master arm is on.

 

Tried it with IR and EO MAV's

 

What am I doing wrong??? :joystick:

 

BTW: The harrier is so freaking cool! Can't wait until everything is ready to go and fully operational. Remember: The Grunts on the ground rely on us!

[1stBEAST]

did you press the correct fire button? sounds stupid but there are 2

one for AG ordnance and one for AA

[Niehorst]

yeah, I know. The trigger for guns/Sidewinder/Sidearm

 

The Pickle for rockets, bombs and should fire the mav's

[Niehorst]

ok.... got it!

 

wasn't in IRMV mode:music_whistling:

[yogipol]

Lucky You, I can't select IRMV seeker. I'm pressing Sensor Select FWD: INS. IRMV/EOMV button on my HOTAS and LWin +U from keyboard but nothing changes.

Because your seekers are not "rdy", I guess. I found out that seekers have to be cooled down again after you deselected them?!?? And it takes 3 minutes again!! Is this the way it's meant to be?

 

EO mav's have to cool down too? really?

 

I just tried firing them while standing on the runway. Better for testing this kind of stuff than flying around.

 

BTW: What do we need the switch "Ground IR Cool" for?

[Niehorst]

Just had a look at the known issues:

 

The fact that you have to cool down the seekers again after deselecting them ist already fixed. Same with ACP can't work with multiple bombs on one pylon.

 

But we have to wait until the next update :cry:

 

Hurry uo mates! The guys on the ground need those bombs!

[yogipol]

No no, they are RDY. That is Ok. I'm gonna hold on until next update arrives.

[Niehorst]

than you have to uncage the seeker head of the missile.

it's all really a little messed up, but it can work!

TDC

 

No, the TDC is still WIP.

 

My TDC doesnt move down (n) no matter what I do ..I have control up/left/right..not down..I am missing anything?

I have exactly the same issue. Try to rebind your hot key to something without modifier and test again. This worked for me!

Had to rebind key. Now, everything is OK.

[fargo007]

There's a lot of stuff going on with these and it takes a while to sort it out. The video sent to me as a response definitely helped.

 

You need about nine different things bound.

 

4 ways to move the tdc (hat)

 

Sensor select

 

Separate launch/fire button

 

Button to uncage the agm seeker

 

IRMV/INS switcher

 

Ability to select DST (or whatever the camera is)

 

If you think this is hard, wait until you try AAR. ;)
