Laser

[Coxy_99]

How do i use the laser with Jtac, I can do so with TGP, I mark the target area action key, Select the tv slew to the bottom of the target. Master arm is on GBU12 selected air to ground mode same laser as jtac, But cant get in LST mode.

Are you starting in the air?

 

If you are starting on the ground you need to make sure you have the DMT switch behind the flight stick (next to where you set NAV mode on the dial) in the UP position or you will not be able to lock the laser even if you have the right code dialled in.

 

With the switch in the up position LST works just fine using the DMT.

It may be a key mapping issue, I had it with the FLIR reject sensor select default key.

 

If it says LST in the HUD then you're in the right mode, you then have to bring up the DMT on a MPCD and change the code to 1688, you have to click the button with CODE next to it off then on again, so there is a box around CODE then enter 1688 ENT on the keypad, that should do it.

 

When the JTAC lases the target as long as you're pointing in the general direction it should snap to it.

As Cap'n says, if it says LST in the HUD and on the RMFD in the top left corner as long as you have the right laser code set it should work.

 

Im actually working on a video doing this right now, check you're in the right mode by verifying LST displayed, if you're still having trouble I should have this video done in a couple of hours and hopefully that will help out.

Im not getting it on the hud or mfcd, I maybe doing something wrong or like Cap'n kamikaze key changes seem to sensitive.

Follow this sequence....

 

Confirm laser code 1688 set,

Master Mode to Air to Ground,

Select weapon from Stores page,

Confirm RAUT or AUTO is displayed in the HUD flashing (Master Arm Off),

Roll in towards to the laser,

Press Sensor Select AFT twice to engage LST, (check button mapping)

Verify LST displayed on HUD,

Put centre of HUD toward laser mark,

Observe aircraft locking the laser,

Pull up and initiate a CCRP drop, remember select master arm ON and to press and hold the weapon release button around 10 secs.
