Classydjo Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Good day, We tested the LSS on the Av8B with a client being a JTAC, in a Humvee, lasing on 1688 and also, a client, in an A10c, lasing on 1688, and the Av8B didnt pick up the laser spot. Apparently the LSS option on the AV8B doesn't detect a client-fired laser. Can you confirm? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] https://www.5vwing.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todd022 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I haven’t been successful with an airborne (A-10) buddy lase online. Haven’t tried with a ground based client yet. [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S D Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 There is definatly some strange behaviour with lasing in general, its a bit early to nail it down, i need to do more testing. I have succesfully buddy lased with an A10 being the lasing platform. But i cannot get the same results with an AV8 laser source. LSS has been patchy, sometimes finding the laser sometimes not. No real reproducable results, but its worth a further investigation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeepyb Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 LST/LSS works for me offline (scripted AI lasing in the Vulcan Forge campaign) but doesnt in multiplayer. We tested with a human JTAC on the ground and a human A10 lasing, and the DMT in LST mode wasnt able to acquire the laser. DMT was pointed very close to to the target and I flew from 20nm away to about 2nm and it still woulnt see it. Laser code was set correctly.

Nero.ger Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 the a10c laser has a max range of around 7nm i believe 'controlling' the Ka50 feels like a discussion with the Autopilot and trim system about the flight direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nero.ger Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 "and a human A10 lasing, and the DMT in LST mode wasnt able to acquire the laser" maybe the a10 was to far away?

EAF602 Red Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I’ve never had a problem picking up the laser, either from another’s aircraft or Jtac in LST mode online or offline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeepyb Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I’ve never had a problem picking up the laser, either from another’s aircraft or Jtac in LST mode online or offline Was the laser fired by a human player ?

davidp57 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I've had a similar experience, which I related in another thread. Here, let me auto-quote : We tried buddy lasing between a leader packing 4 fuel tanks and a TPOD and 2 wingmen packing 12 GBU-12 each. Yeah, that's overkill Anyway, it kinda worked at start and then stopped working. Very weird. One of my wingmen was able to catch my laser point with his DMT a few times (not always, far from it) and fire a few GBU-12 (sometimes with DMT locked on my laser, sometimes blindly) which tracked my laser. Then it stopped working for him ; a second wingman joined and for him it never worked (no GBU-12 ever tracked). #2 was sometimes able to get my laser point on his DMT but reported it moving wildly and erratically. We tried different altitudes, different aspects, changing laser codes, but no joy... I'm interested in everyone's experience with buddy lasing between a TPOD and a DMT/GBU-12... Does it work ? Doesn't it ? What is the limiting factor ? Zip - VEAF :pilotfly: If you want to learn, talk and fly with french-speaking friends, the Virtual European Air Force is here for you !

EAF602 Red Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Once you pick up first target using LSt and drop your first GBU, you then need to press NWS button to cancel target, and then search for new lased target, hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S D Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Yes it was m8, a10c A10C as the lasing platform seems to work, try with the AV8 lasing for another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EAF602 Red Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 A10C as the lasing platform seems to work, try with the AV8 lasing for another. I have tried this once without any problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
