zepolot Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 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?
Evilducky Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 I got the D version to lock, couldnt get the H's
zepolot Posted February 2, 2018 Author Posted February 2, 2018 I just tried the D versions but they don't work either.
scrapple Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 I believe after your step 3 you have to press the TDC down button (not aft, but down). It may be called the TDC Action button.
zepolot Posted February 2, 2018 Author Posted February 2, 2018 Hm, not sure if I had tried that already or not, but I'll give it a go tomorrow and see what happens.
Karon Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 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.

bell_rj Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 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 PC specs:

Kayos Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 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. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

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!
