Hello guys,

 

I have been having a frustrating issue when attempting to deploy the Mavericks. For some reason they are not locking on to anything whatsoever and during the procedure when you have to press Sensor Select Forward, that does nothing either.

 

Here is the procedure overview (If it's even right or up to date)

 

1. Press Sensor Select Aft twice to enable the DMT. (Lwin+J)

 

2. Slew the DMT to the target.

 

3. Uncage the Mavericks (Lwin+C)

 

3. Press Sensor Select Forward to IRMV. (Lwin+U)

 

4. Wait for the Maverick to lock on to something.

 

Am I missing something here or is it a bug?

After passing control to IRMV (in case of D/G), use the TDC action to lock. Keep in mind it doesn't lock if you are too far. As a test, keep trying until you are within a couple miles from the tgt. IIRC normally it lock at ~7nm.

I was having this exact same problem last night when I tried Mav's for the first time. I got it to work eventually - I was missing the last 'TDC Down' to enable locking to take place. Here are my notes of the process:

 

Open Stores page on left MFCD - select IRMV

Make sure store pages says RDY not STBY at bottom left (or wait up to 3 minutes)

Select DMT (Sensor select aft)

Slew over target using DMT screen (TDC Down + TDC POV hat)

Missile uncage

Sensor Select forward x 2 to select IRMV (check HUD for box around IRMV)

TDC Down to enable lock

Weapon pickle to fire Maverick once lock obtained

Switch to external view to see pretty fireworks

Crash into ground

Yep, TDC down to lock. I was using them no problem tonight. I used to TPOD to find targets and mav D's to kill them.

I believe I have figured out the problem. It is the sensor select forward. The box around the IRMV doesn't appear when I press it either once or twice. Maybe I should change key bindings or repair the game?

 

EDIT: I have finally fixed it! It was a glitch after all. I simply changed the key binding for sensor select forward and it worked. I hope this could be fixed in the next patch. Thanks for all your help!
