[NO BUG]Cannot steer MAVF seeker with TDC after dropping JSOWA

[Juuba]

I encountered this in one MP online sortie.

 

Tested on single player afterwards:

After dropping JSOWA, I cannot slew or steer the Maveric AGM-65F (MAVF) seeker with the TDC anymore.

 

Track attached https://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=216394&stc=1&d=1567064403

 

Steps I did on the sortie:

#1 Steer away from waypoint 1

#2 designate end of column for first JSA

#3 drop JSA

#4 designate beginning of column for the second and drop

#5 designate middle of column for JSA, drop

#6 designate another column for the last JSA, drop it (it went ballistic, hit a hillside, maybe I was too far offset)

#7 turn back for a MAVF attack

 

-> I cannot steer the maverick seeker with TDC anymore

 

 

Some notes:

- on the multiplayer sortie, I didn't have the TGP loaded, so it wasn't it "colliding" with slew logic.

- on this SP sortie, I had the TGP - the Sensor SOI was on MAVF screen, since I could adjust it's FOV.

Did you press the undesignate button first? otherwise it might lock the seecker to you set target point

I didn't try undesignate, but I did click the uncage/cage many times.

 

Maybe the Undesignate is the key. I didn't realize it should be undesignated, since I never designated the target for the Mavericks :)

 

I'll try this after lunch.

 

I got the MAVF:s off by pointing the missile to the target by steering my plane and lock em up like that.

Just taken a quick look myself, if I use undesignate all seems ok for me.

 

Can you check Juuba?

 

Edit; have marked the thread no bug as it seems ok to me using undesigante. If you still have issues let me know.

Okay, got around to checking it.

 

And Yes, undesignate works - it re-enables the slew function for the mavericks.
