Oldfox Posted May 5, 2020 Posted May 5, 2020 Hi guys, I feel really stupid but I am unable to lock my laser guided maverick on my own pod laser.... I use litening pod, have laser armed and fire selected. Code is 1688. Maverick is uncaged, code 1688. Never locks on anything.... What the hell am I missing here? Never had any problem using buddy lasing for those Mavericks but can't with my own :( Thanks!
Beirut Posted May 5, 2020 Posted May 5, 2020 I have yet to fire a laser guided Maverick successfully. Everything seems fine and........ nothing happens. Some of the planes, but all of the maps!
Sydy Posted May 6, 2020 Posted May 6, 2020 I have yet to fire a laser guided Maverick successfully. Everything seems fine and........ nothing happens. I am able to use AGM-65E easily with the harrier. If you have trouble, use my checklist as a guide. All the best, Sydy

Because with Jtac lasse targets I have no problem at all. Only when I try to do it with my own listening pod and still dunno why.
lukeXIII Posted May 6, 2020 Posted May 6, 2020 did you switch the training laser to normal laser? (on the mfd cycle TRNL to LASR)
Oldfox Posted May 6, 2020 Author Posted May 6, 2020 I think but need to double check, that's a good suggestion!
Sydy Posted May 6, 2020 Posted May 6, 2020 (edited) With your own laser? Because with Jtac lasse targets I have no problem at all. Only when I try to do it with my own listening pod and still dunno why. Yes, with my own laser o tpod. Remember to: Tpod Stby Tdc Select code (usually 1688 ) Aim and lock tgt Arm Change laser mode to LSR Select FIRE (it gets underlined) Uncage Maverick Put Maverick in the direction of tgt. Wait for the aim white square to get into the maverick aimming piper Press release weapon. Small turn left and try not do mask tgt until impact. If possible, avoid overflying the tgt. Good luck, Sydy Edited May 6, 2020 by Sydy Typed like a monkey.
Oldfox Posted May 6, 2020 Author Posted May 6, 2020 (edited) You were correct, laser was in training mode! Now it works fine thanks for the help guys! I have a second issue with laser even if not maverick related: In a buddy lased GBU mission, I acquire the laser through LSS, but it never switched to TV automatically, thus not giving auto release cues on HUD and could'nt release bomb. Usually it just switches in TV and designate automatically, sometimes it stays in LSS screen after acquiring laser spot and can't release bomb. Am I again stupid? :p Edited May 6, 2020 by Oldfox

Sydy Posted May 6, 2020 Posted May 6, 2020 (edited) Good morning, Brazil! I'll try after work, thanks. Hello Canada!! Or Lebanon! LOL Go for it! You were correct, laser was in training mode!

The second issue, it is suppose to change to TV automatically. Are you using the same laser code? (Double check the code) Are you pressing TDC Action button?

Beirut Posted May 11, 2020 Posted May 11, 2020 Hello Canada!! Or Lebanon! LOL Go for it! Canada. "Beirut" was my dog's name. And a magnificent dog he was. And thank you for the instructions. I not only fired a Maverick, but I hit what I was aiming at. Some of the planes, but all of the maps!
Beirut Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 Since I have your attention, and you being so helpful and all... I can't get the FLIR to show up on my HUD. I've followed the setup on two different tutorial videos and nothing. FLIR on (switch behind the flightstick) Night mode (beneath number pad) Sensor right (L Win + I) Sensor down (L Win + N) And nothing on the HUD Any suggestions? Some of the planes, but all of the maps!
Sydy Posted May 12, 2020 Posted May 12, 2020 (edited) Hi Beirut, I haven’t done it myself, but I remember two things: 1- Check FLIR SW ON; 2- HUD has to be in night mode (small switch on it); 3- Press SENSOR SW Once (HUD REJECT). Gonna try myself and let you know. Edit: Test complete and procedure listed for Beirut. All the best, Sydy Edited May 12, 2020 by Sydy Test complete
