DmitriKozlowsky Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 AGM-65G IRMV fails to uncage, with TPOD. I am unable to uncage AGM-65G with TPOD present. AGM-65G is aligned TPOD present. Laser in Marker mode. Target point designated. IRMV station is selected , Master Mode is AG, arming options set to AGM IN 1 UNCAGE fails to present IRMV seeker view. Even if TPOD is in STBY mode. IRMV continues to stay in STBY, regardless of length of time since station selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mia389 Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 I had this problem today. I was practicing with a hot start bird and everything was good. Went online with a cold start bird and my mavs would never uncage. I did not have a tpod on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moafuleum Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Happened to me as well yesterday. This bug is not always present, however. To me, it seems to be a cooling issue since if you activate the IR cooling switch, it works after some minutes. However, it should cool down automatically.

DmitriKozlowsky Posted November 19, 2018 Author Share Posted November 19, 2018 Its like two bummers man. In one! Bummer that I am not the only one. I feel sorry for you. Bummer that I am not the only one. I feel for everyone, especially RAZBAM who have to fix it. Near short term goal: Figure out how DCS and Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, are similar, and serve similar market demographic. Any assistance would be uncredited to you, after all there can be only one! But is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budabacon Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 AGM 65 G isn't suppose to work with the t-pod, its a IR missile, not laser guided. i have this problem also, my solution is: when using AGM65G i simply turn off the T-pod and use the DMT for targeting, if i have any problem then with caging or uncaging the Mav ill start the A/G process all over.

Tj1376 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Surely this isnt as designed, right? It would make sense to use the TPOD to fine tune and use the zoom to get right in to the target area from along ways away... right? Or am I just too spoiled with the A10C? (I also have this issue, bought the Harrier on sale and am trying to learn it. Ive never been able to uncage the mavericks, but I always equip the TPOD.)

Sparrow11 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 I am using IR mav with tpod all the time. Acquire target 30 nm out. Around 10-12 nm, uncage ir mav. Sensor selector to ir mav. This brings the ir mav seeker to tpod target. Around 7.5 nm, tdc action btn will lock target. Works well.

DmitriKozlowsky Posted November 24, 2018 Author Share Posted November 24, 2018 Proper function , when TPOD is on, is that when UNCAGED, IRMV seeker is slaved to TPOD seeker. When TPOD is OFF or in STBY and TDC OFF, UNCAGED IRMV seeker is active and slaved to DMT. SENSOR FWD makes IRMV sensor the TDC sensor of interest. It is a bit complex during flight and even more so in combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I slew the tpod to the target, then press tdc down, then go to uncage the seeker but uncage does not work. I have confirmed that if I don’t equip the tpod, this procedure works, so what am I doing wrong to uncage the seeker when tpod is equipped? Appreciate the guidance.

DoctorStrop Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 (edited) Slew to target in TPOD, uncage Maverick, sensor select forward to set to IRMV mode, spam TDC action to lock, fire. Tried it last night and it worked fine. Edit actually there is one thing I found. Mav only seems to uncage if the LMFD is on stores page.

Tried it last night and it worked fine. Appreciate it. That is definitely not working from a cold start. I’ve been reading quite a few bug reports here that indicate different behavior from a hot start vs a cold start, I wonder if it’s related. Or- if there is a step after “slew target in tpod” that you are doing but not stating. When I uncage after slewing, the maverick screen doesn’t display.

I missed the edit. Thanks for that, I’ll give it a whirl. I typically have tpod on lmfd, so I’m positive I’ve never had stores page on any mfd while in the AO. This is a bug, right? Surely the procedure would not be to have a stores page up and active. Does Razbam know about it? I’ve read about a “bug report” list, but the sticky in this forum hasn’t been updated in a year, and was apparently before the tpod was released. It's your stores page on the left side?

mvsgas Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 This is a bug, right? Same is true for RL aircraft. Maverick only works on Left MPCD. To whom it may concern, I am an idiot, unfortunately for the world, I have a internet connection and a fondness for beer....apologies for that. Thank you for you patience. Many people don't want the truth, they want constant reassurance that whatever misconception/fallacies they believe in are true.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tj1376 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Same is true for RL aircraft. Maverick only works on Left MPCD. Ahhh! So it’s not that the stores page has to be up, it’s that tpod can’t be on the left mpcd? Tpod (and dmt) have to be on right mpcd to fire Mavericks. Dang- you’d think that would have been covered in chucks guide or anyone of the YouTube videos I’ve watched to try and figure out what I was doing wrong. Many thank yous!

mia389 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Happened to me again tongiht. Stores page on left side. NO TP. It says IRMV in hud and selected on stores page. Target on right MPCD in TV mode using dmt. No option to sensor up to mav. No option to uncage mav. Happening in MP for me. Maybe its a rearm thing. Ill check it tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mia389 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 (edited) I think I found what is causing it. If you select a saved loadout, it seem to work fine. If you select stores indivutally from rearm screen, The mavs then will not uncage. I posted a track. At the end I am trying to uncage mav, but mav will not uncage.HarrierBug2.trk Edited November 25, 2018 by mia389 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esac_mirmidon Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 As it was said before in other threads, IR mavs are very WIP, from now they only work as intended if they are armed in the mission editor. If you reload mavs or change the missiles on the tarmac they will not work. So use the payload from the editor and wait for further development. " You must think in russian.."

That is why its posted in bugs section. Its a bug. We are here pointing them out as we find them. We all know we purchased another module in aplpha/beta or whatever you want to call it. We are just here trying to help. Was it once pointed out anywhere in this thread that mavs will not uncage if ream using single stores? Alot of us play MP with the AV8. This might help others.

This might help others. Rearming AGM-65G's used to work in MP, main issue was the IRMV status was wrongly displayed on the stores page as RDY "Ready" after a reload, when the new loadout still needed it's 3 minute cool down. IIRC deselecting the IRMV on the stores page reset it's status, so when selected again, "stand by" STBY showed and the 3 minute cooling cycle started. IRMV status would then switch to RDY, 3 minutes later and IRMV's could be uncaged, etc. I haven't tested Open Beta 2.5.3.24436 though. i9 9900K @4.7GHz, 64GB DDR4, RTX2070 Super 8GB, 1TB NVMe, 6+4TB HD, 1+1TB SSD, Winwing Orion 2 Throttle + F-16EX Stick, TIR5, Win 10 Pro x64, 1920X1080 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerD Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Unfortunately, after five hours of going through checklists, following YouTube videos and even praying to some sort of winged god, I can't even get them to launch. Hopefully this gets fixed soon, besides the VTOL platform, the Maverick armament is by far one of the best air to ground missiles in the world today. Sad that we can't use it fully in this lethal airship. Guess I'll go back to the Hornet until they can figure this out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
