Are you communicating with the FAC? If so, make sure that you uncage.

yes i contact jtac and mav is UNCAGED

Can you include pictures or better yet, some footage of your HUD, DDI, or a vid on you going through setting up the mav/JTAC interaction? It's hard for me to judge whether it's due to the JTAC not being in type 2, your armament being SAFE'd, laser code just set to 1 mav or all..

 

Even including your procedure in text format helps tremendously in detecting errors. Just throwing a single sentence on here 'stuff don't work' doesn't help people to help you :) give us more info, and we'll probably be able to fix whatever's going on :thumbup:

You need to state step-by step what you did, including JTAC communication.

I presume your nose was pointing in the direction of the target when you uncaged. Did you have all missiles set to 1688? Did the JTAC say "Laser on. Lasing"?

Note: The crossed DDI MAV indication only clears once the maverick has detected and locked onto the laser spot i.e. the LMAV has a valid target and you are authorised to fire.

 

 

Is this what you are seeing ?

You need to press twice on the left ddi stores page on the MAV, press it twice and then uncage :=)

No, that won't remove the crossed MAV indications.

 

The cross clears when the LMAV sensor acquires/locks the laser spot.

 

With A/G mode selected, pressing MAV twice on the stores page brings up the LMAV sight on the DDI but doesn't clear the crossed MAV indications on the DDI and HUD.

 

I don't know how it works IRL but that is how it is working in DCS Open Beta 2.5.3.23954

exactly, i see as left picture, mav is crossed....seems it does not see laser tracking from jtac........

The only option i think of is that the code is wrong, did you change the code of your mavs for the same as the JTAC? (Default is 1688)

[Madbrood]

Silly question - have you asked the JTAC to actually lase the target, ie the "LASER ON" comms option?

The JTAC sequence for the Quick Start training mission "Caucasus FA-18C AGM-65E Maverick Practice" is:

 

(Radio to JTAC frequency 131.000 MHz)

• Player: JTAC - finger11, Check-in 30min, what do you have for us.

• JTAC (Finger11): Enfield 1-1, this is finger 1-1, type 2 in effect. Advise when ready for 9-line

• Player: Ready to copy

• JTAC (Finger11): line is as follows

1, 2, 3 N/A

[4. Elevation: ]3 feet MSL

[5. Target: ]APC

[6. Coordinates: ]GG176760

[7. ]Marked by laser, 1688 <----- *** NOTE: IF THE JTAC SAYS No mark, he isn't going to lase the target ***

[8. Friendlies: ]northeast 450 meters, troops in contact

[9. ]Egress east

• JTAC (Finger11): advise when ready for remarks and further talk-on

• Player: Ready to copy remarks

• JTAC (Finger11):

request AGM-65E

partly cloudy sky, cloud base 13000 feet MSL

• Player: 9-line read back

• JTAC (Finger11): readback correct

• JTAC (Finger11): report IP INBOUND

• Player: IP INBOUND

• JTAC (Finger11): Enfield 1-1, CONTINUE

• Player: Laser ON

• JTAC (Finger11): Lasing

(Uncage LMAV to spot lase)

• Player: Spot

• Player: IN from the xxx

• JTAC(Finger11): 'Cleared HOT!'

(fire LMAV when in range and break off)

• JTAC(Finger11): Enfield 1-1, target destroyed

 

sequence then repeats -

• JTAC (Finger11): Enfield 1-1, this is finger 1-1, type 2 in effect. Advise when ready for 9-line

... etc.

 

Are you doing something similar ?

 

It'd be helpful if you posted a track, showing the point at which you have difficulty acquiring the laser.
