Furiz Posted August 19, 2022 Posted August 19, 2022 Seems reasonable that laser fires for better ranging info when using gun. But if that is a bug, make a bug report.

That has to be commanded manually by the pilot and is not implemented in the current OB. It will come with the next OB update (see Wags recent video). Also, I doubt it would fire the IR pointer in that case... 1 Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!
Sinclair_76 Posted August 21, 2022 Posted August 21, 2022 The LRFD and IR marker are two different thinks indeed. Just tested it today and the TGP in DCS F-16 still has the IR Marker when firing the laser. Works like a charm too. Used it to get the TGP on a enemies I had a visual on. Just slew the spot to the target. I als tested it in a MP environment but no one else could see the spot. But maybe the observer was more than 7 miles out. 1

Hey are you using the 1688 code because i cant see it in game
Frederf Posted August 22, 2022 Posted August 22, 2022 I see it too. Looks like the plain weapon designator (1.06um) is a visible spot under NVG. I don't know if 1.06um should be visible under NVG. It would depend how far into longer wavelengths the goggles are sensitive. That's not the pointer though. I checked with A-10C2, designator gives a point fuzzball on the ground, pointer is a visible line connecting pod with ground.
