SU25-T MISSILES LAUNCH PROBLEMS

[BRENNERAD]

Hello, the SU-25T missiles launch are driving me crazy! I believe i am doing everything right, but almost always the missile does not launch.

 

Here is the sequency of events:

 

SU-25L :

7 :"to activate ground attack mode"

D :"untill the SU-25L is selected"

O :"to active the Optical Monitor"

 

-then, i first select the size of the target (usually 10m), i sleew the cursor over the target area, press TAB to ground stabilize,(KC is shown), sleew over the target and the target is locked (AC is shown). Then, i activate the Lazer Range, and LA flashes when within range. I press SPACEBAR or the buttom of my joystick wich is configured to fire the weapon BUT THE MISSILES DOES NOT FIRE!!

The same hapens with other types of missiles, lazer or tv guided.

 

There must be something i am missing or maybe a bug.

Can anyone help me?

What is the correct sequency for a sucessfull mission launch of all kind of missiles?

 

THANKS.

 

Brenner.

First of all, are you patched to 1.12a?

Second, the main weapon release button for US and Russian are different, check your configuration panel.

 

Good luck.

Record and post a track file so we can have a look at it and advise you accordingly.

Welcome!

If LA is flashing you need to manouver your plane to point its nose nearer the target. When the target is within the maximum angle you can fire the laser guided missile you get steady LA.

I had a similar problem. I'm not sure I know why it got better, but one of the things I did was to put the keyboard layout back to Default. Perhaps try this if all else fails!:)

 

Gazehound's answer looks better though!

-NOPE- If LA is flashing, the laser is overheated!

You will wait to LA not flashes and attempt it once again! ;)

Thanks for all the answers!

- Version is 1.12a

- I will check the informations about angle to the target e also the overheat condition.

 

- I will record the track and post it.

 

THANK YOU!

Once all launch criteria are satisfied for the specific weapon selected, then a steady "LA" will appear in the bottom middle of your HUD as well as your IT-23M TV Display. At no times should the "LA" flash as you have described it. The Laser-Rangefinder once switched on is displayed as "LR" on the left of the HUD and once the laser automatically switches off to prevent damage, the steady "LR" is replaced by a Flashing "L" on the left side of the HUD, and not a flashing "LA".

 

Should all Launch criteria be satisfied, what does flash is a square over the station with the selected weapon at the bottom of the HUD. The fact that you state that the LA flashes could indicate that the something else could be wrong which can not be readily ascertained from the sequence of events given by yourself. As stated previously, a track file would be handy to have a look at and see if we can pinpoint the problem should you not already have sorted it out yourself.:)

Gazehound is right.

 

This is a quote from the official Su-25T training track.

A flashing ''LA'' symbol means that the target is within launch range, but the aiming angle is beyond the missile seeker limits.
