TPOD default laser code

[some1]

When you start the mission from the ground, during TPOD initialization you get ton of 111111111111111111111s flashing on the MFD.

 

After TPOD initialization, the UFC shows laser code 1111. But if you try to lase the target for the LMAV, it won't track where TPOD is pointing, just show the laser cursor floating in a random place over the ground.

 

As you can see on the screenshot HUD and LMAV show the laser in the lower left corner while TPOD is lasing and pointing to the upper right. No JTAC anywhere on that mission.

 

 

If you manually set different code (or even 1111), the tracking begins to work. Also when you start from the air, the code is preset to 1688 and works without any changes.

When the harrier is on the ground (weight on wheels) the laser code always resets. The default laser code for most things in DCS is 1688 so setting it to that after takeoff is a good idea, but when you land it will reset again. I’m not sure why the 1111 doesn’t work right off the bat but it could be a simple readout showing it hasn’t been set yet.

Yeah, the most probable explanation is that something does not initialize properly in Razbam code.

 

It still reacts to laser on/off, just does not track properly.

1111 is supposed to be a laser initialization code

Yeah, the 11111111111111111111111111111111 kind of bug appears quite often too. I've seen it appear on time values and coordinate values.

Code Description

The system uses either a three digit or four digit

numeral system, depending on the type of laser

equipment. Three digit settings range from 111 to 788,

while four digit settings range from 1,111 to 1,788. All

three and four digit designator/seekers are compatible.

Lower numbered PRF codes provide higher quality

designation due to faster pulse repetition.

 

I suppose in DCS, only 1681-1689 codes works because the weapons seekers are programming with this codes by default .

I has same issue.
