Deano87 Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 (edited) I've made this video to describe the issue.

FistofZen Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 I have seen this video a couple of weeks ago, thanks for making it. Am I special?
toilet2000 Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 I would really like to see a fix for this issue.
Deano87 Posted October 15, 2018 Author Posted October 15, 2018 Me too! I'm hoping they will refresh the Laser code once the Laser maverick for the Hornet appears and the ATFLIR pod. I'll keep an eye on it and make another video if needs be.

Esac_mirmidon Posted October 15, 2018 Posted October 15, 2018 In the first scenario the A-10C lasing is almost 80º offset from your position. Maybe the problem is because you are outside the maximum lasing cone. " You must think in russian.."

Deano87 Posted October 16, 2018 Author Posted October 16, 2018 (edited) In the first scenario the A-10C lasing is almost 80º offset from your position. Maybe the problem is because you are outside the maximum lasing cone. Thanks for your input but that’s a negative. In relation to this bug the aspect of the lasing aircraft doesn’t matter. The laser beam from the A-10 ends after 8 miles from the aircraft.. This is what the laser Maverick is locking on to. Notice that once the A-10 gets to within ~8 miles of the target the lasing works flawlessly. I’ve done it with the lasing aircraft flying one mile abeam me and the same thing happens. If we are beyond 8 miles or so from the target the laser beam doesn’t actualy “reach” the target and the laser Maverick (and all laser guided weapons) will seek that floating end of the spot. Watch my second attack in the video. Or even try it yourself. If you can get lasing to work from beyond 10 miles while the lasing aircraft stays at 10 miles+ form the target at all times I’d be very interested to see because I can’t get it to work. Note: this bug would not have presented itself often before the laser mav as it’s the first laser guided weapon we’ve had that has that kind of range. I’ve had lasering weirdness before when trying to buddy lase for other A-10s and retrospectively the laser having an 8 mile range is clearly the issue.

Eldur Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 This goes for the A-10C and the Harrier as well as for all weapons employed that use LST. Probably even the Su-25T and the Shark have this.

amalahama Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 Yeah it's a quite old bug and very annoying too. I hope ED fix it ASAP, otherwise AGM-65E are going to be useless in the Hornet. Regards!
Jarlerus Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 A fix would be welcome! At least a hotfix: "weapon won't track if the target painted is further away than 8.5nm" could be prudent. :) I can appreciate the difficulty of simulating the range of the laser beam though, under changing conditions.

It worked fine until a few months ago when they introduced this bug.
