Cannot get the mavericks to pickle with the Harrier

[Ramstein]

Update:

Fixed !

 

===========

Cannot get the mavericks to pickle with the Harrier. I can drop LGB's, and other, but the Mavericks will not pickle and drop with the rAlt & Space keys. I tried 100x. Yes! 100x more or less. No clue why. I tried the training missions, DCS, and others. Still, do not work. :doh:

do you change the sensors to IRMAV when you try to lock target?

 

i put my TV over target

Uncage the IRMAV

change the sensors to IRMAV (sensor switch FWD i think)

Lock

Rifle!

Do’t forget to set the Master Arm switch to ON. You followed all the steps in the training mission? Did you double check your bindings?

Make sure you're not using the training Mav. (TGM-65G).

Is the target locked and the INRNG showing in the HUD. (AGM-65G). Then it must launch. It wont launch if not locked.

Please post a track, so we can help.

Is the Maverick warmed up properly and says RDY on the stores page?

I will do another run through,,, then if needed a track will be posted..

 

to answer all the questions...

 

yes, rdy is there...

I have seen the in range several times, but no launch

 

the locks seem a bit flaky... sometimes they lock other times no...

some times they even lock on moving targets.. but I am really trying on any target I can...

 

slewing the lockbox around with my old Saitek X52 Pro is pain (it takes a lot of moving in increments to move the box to the target).. maybe it has problems,,, but I fly lots of other aircraft without these problems..

 

I will try again very soon... yay! we have a new patch too!

 

Thanx :joystick:

Welcome to the harrier ;)

 

But its likely you in this case, the Mavs are one of the more reliable weapons on the harrier.

Also, you MUST use Mawerick display on LEFT mfcd, not right. On right mfcd you can not switch to IRMV mode of Mawerick

ok, so in a video on Youtube, I can clearly see the full MPCD displays, I can't when I am in the aircraft because I don't have or use TrackIR, and the inside part is not visible with the labels of the buttons on the inside blocked by the stupid control panel that sits over it... so, even though I mapped the controls, apparently having direct access to seeing the MPCD's and buttons I can see if directly punching in the control buttons,, instead of using keyboard or HOTAS. Now I have photos of the buttons that are blocked and their commands. See what happens.

If you are using keyboard or HOTAS, you can set two different viewpoints for normal use. One for the normal view, one where you see left side well and second for right side. You can quickly just swap to view position that you want to operate.

 

Long time ago I did that in a Su-25T, until I got TrackIR. It was really the best way to do it instead using 8-POV for looking around. I had example one for HUD only. Second for HUD + Shkval. And then one for Shkval only and rest various others for a different directions etc.

 

That way I could quickly do all that was required. And in A-10C it was similar thing, but each was so I had HUD only, HUD + left MFCD and HUD + right MFCD. That way I could easily always see the HUD and then the either panel or do the gun strafe well.

Fixed,, the aircraft controls turned out had a flaw in the commands from the setup...

2 of the same command to different functions were built in,,, I found this after a lucky search turned this up for the Harrier using another search...

I reprogrammed the key in the commands so there are no repeated copies any longer, to my knowledge.
