AH0TE Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Hey all, Just want to know if anyone's experiencing the same issue as me. Since the last update, I've noticed that I can't fire a LMAV that tracks the laser. I set the code to 1688, use the TPOD, find a target, point track, set the laser to laser mode, fire the laser, LMAV locks on, and I fire. From there, the missile just sails on down into the ground without tracking anything. I'm not crazy, I don't think... I've done this a million times, and GBUs seem to work just fine. Any thoughts? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye_UK Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 I've had issues not just with this but also with the seeker head not locking onto the target, or equally showing the locked on target but refusing to launch and release from the air-frame. Sometimes takes multiple pushes of the station button, cycling to nav mode and back a few times, its definitely something to do with the latest release as there is a noticeable change on reliability of employment. Also i use the harrier alot and know it inside out so i know its not a systems or incorrect procedure. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DCS & BMS F14B | AV-8B | F15E | F18C | F16C | F5 | F86 | A10C | JF17 | Viggen |Mirage 2000 | F1 | L-39 | C101 | Mig15 | Mig21 | Mig29 | SU27 | SU33 | F15C | AH64 | MI8 | Mi24 | Huey | KA50 | Gazelle | P47 | P51 | BF109 | FW190A/D | Spitfire | Mossie | CA | Persian Gulf | Nevada | Normandy | Channel | Syria | South Atlantic | Sinai Liquid Cooled ROG 690 13700K @ 5.9Ghz | RTX3090 FTW Ultra | 64GB DDR4 3600 MHz | 2x2TB SSD m2 Samsung 980/990 | Pimax Crystal/Reverb G2 | MFG Crosswinds | Virpil T50/CM3 | Winwing & Cougar MFD's | Buddyfox UFC | Winwing TOP & CP | Jetseat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

proszekOMO Posted June 7, 2020 Share Posted June 7, 2020 Another related issue: Armed with IR and LG Mavericks, tried to fire two of LG (dive straight to the ground as expected). Switch to IR and they went to Stand By even if they were on "Ready" a minute earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recluse Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Your Laser Code is Invalid. Here are the specifications for valid Laser Codes. (I know this applies in the HORNET. I assume it applies in the Harrier as well. Try a conforming code and see if it works) 1st Digit: 1 2nd Digit:5-7 3rd Digit: 1-8 4th Digit: 1-8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramsay Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 I tried it out last night and my LMAV's guided fine... so I guess I can't say what is going on.. The TGP laser designator has a max range of 8 Nm (15km) in DCS, in the previous video you fired from 12 Nm. Previous TGP behaviour was that a laser spot would appear at the end of the beam (@8NM) and the LMav would track that and hit a target as long as you'd moved within 8 Nm by the time of impact. Perhaps the Razbam LMav still "sees" the floating laser "spot" when attached to the aircraft but the missile's logic can't track it after launch. i9 9900K @4.7GHz, 64GB DDR4, RTX4070 12GB, 1+2TB NVMe, 6+4TB HD, 4+1TB SSD, Winwing Orion 2 F-15EX Throttle + F-16EX Stick, TPR Pedals, TIR5, Win 10 Pro x64, 1920X1080 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye_UK Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 Guys just to be clear again - this is not an operational procedure issue with the player. Have many, many hours in the Harrier and know it inside out systems wise. This is a new bug mavericks are not always tracking the laser code, circa 50% success rate at best. Not working correctly since the last OB patch update. Good to see Razbam replying or reading the customer feedback that we provide, not one comment yet lol. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DCS & BMS F14B | AV-8B | F15E | F18C | F16C | F5 | F86 | A10C | JF17 | Viggen |Mirage 2000 | F1 | L-39 | C101 | Mig15 | Mig21 | Mig29 | SU27 | SU33 | F15C | AH64 | MI8 | Mi24 | Huey | KA50 | Gazelle | P47 | P51 | BF109 | FW190A/D | Spitfire | Mossie | CA | Persian Gulf | Nevada | Normandy | Channel | Syria | South Atlantic | Sinai Liquid Cooled ROG 690 13700K @ 5.9Ghz | RTX3090 FTW Ultra | 64GB DDR4 3600 MHz | 2x2TB SSD m2 Samsung 980/990 | Pimax Crystal/Reverb G2 | MFG Crosswinds | Virpil T50/CM3 | Winwing & Cougar MFD's | Buddyfox UFC | Winwing TOP & CP | Jetseat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyimac Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 It has already been reported by several in the Bugs section. The same as the problem in the Tarawa. Razbam has abandoned the Harrier? It was a fantastic module. No one answers neither RAZBAM nor ED. The module worked quite well before the last OB. Please gentlemen! Fix it! Everyone invests money buying modules to make things go reasonably better, not worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Recluse Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 It seems to be a new issue introduced in Open Beta 2.5.6.50321 OK, sorry. I only (at least up to now) run the Stable version. After the 2.5.6 update to stable, the two environments were briefly synchronized, so when I read "Latest Update" I thought it referred to stable. I will assume OB from now on.
