Nealius Posted May 26, 2018 Posted May 26, 2018 I'm trying to get JTAC to IR-illuminate targets in a night mission and I'm having the hardest time getting it to work. Getting a ground JTAC to work during the day is simple enough, but they just refuse to work at night. I heard you can use a Reaper for FAC, and have it IR illuminate or lase targets. I'm having two problems: 1. The Reaper does not appear in the comms menu when flying. I have it set to FAC - assign group - with a radio frequency set (see screenshot) yet it will not appear when I bring up comms. 2. I tried an AutoLase lua script. Set the triggers, loaded the .lua file, Do Script JTACAutoLase('unit name', 1688), and I just go back to problem number 1. I also can't figure out the .lua stuff. I read the thread here in the forums but it still didn't make much sense, and the instructions on the AutoLase script assume you already know how to do it. I also don't know how to get the Reaper to use the IR pointer, as it appears the AutoLase script only does lasing. So...yeah....how do I get the Reaper to IR illuminate a target at night?
