[CANNOT REPRODUCE, ADD TRACK] LST not working?

[Xxx]

2.5.6 release.

 

 

LST will not lock onto a JTAC target.

 

 

My procedure is; Approach target, A/G on, Master arm on, LGB Auto fuse inst, press LST right MDi button 17, select WP designate target, no search and no lock.

 

 

Using FLIR and steering target marker onto target using TDC and designating TDT depress, locks FLIR onto target. But the bomb/laser mav doesn't lock on to the JTAC target and when dropped/launched just misses.

 

 

Uncage just resets the MDI FLIR to -180L.

 

 

I thought if you had the HUD on the target area and you hit Uncage, or LST on the MDI, then the seeker should lock on to the JTAC laser? I cant get this to work. I have to steer the cue onto the target manually, point track but even then the weapon is not tracking JTAC laser, it misses.

 

 

I must be missing a step here?

 

 

 

 

Cheers

Are you sure your lss laser code matches the jtac one?

it is better if you switch off the hornet own laser.

Also did you follow all the steps with the JTAC?

You should “tell” him to lase with the “laser on” radio command

Yes the laser code is correct.

 

 

I am using CTLD JTAC so they are automatic.

 

 

You are spot on regarding not using the Hornets laser, in fact I tried the mission with no Litening pod and just by dropping the LGB's over the general target area, I got good hits. Although this was from 15,000 feet so they had plenty of time to acquire the JTAC laser!

 

 

So I surmise its something to do with the Litening pod and the JTAC, conflicting perhaps?

 

 

No matter what I did, when using the Litening pod, I couldn't get the LGB or E Maverick to lock. Fired with the (E) Mav's own uncaged laser tracker, all worked fine?

 

 

I still prefer the Harrier, but that's just me!

I can use the Litening pod to self lase the target. My problem is when I try LST.

 

On the Harrier, you see the scan in the HUD, then after acquisition, the target is on the TPOD display. Simple and foolproof for an old fool like me!

 

It's great to just locate the target with waypoints and Litening. Then switch it off and just use Auto to lob them towards the target area. Works every time! CTLD then switches to next target in under 2 seconds. You can be in and out of the hot zone before they start shooting at you.

 

I don't want to have to pause the sim to fiddle with the LST system. As long as your laser code is as per JTAC, drop em and go!

 

Cheers.

The last seven attempts to use LGB with active laser FLIR from the Litening have resulted in DCS game crashes. Each crash was auto reported. I am attacking tank column on a bridge at Poti in Caucuses. Crash happens before and after a hit.

 

Since no one else has reported any issues, it must be my lousy procedures? Strange thing is, the E Maverick is just fine. Only the LGB crashes the game?

 

Since this is my jet for the Supercarrier, I'm not going to buy the Supercarrier. Annoying thing is it's just my Hornet that's buggy!
