Ziptie Posted November 28, 2020 Posted November 28, 2020 A10CII flight manual page 526: Figure 406. CCRP HUD Search and Lock Laser Designation As you have learned to laser designate a target for another aircraft or friendly entity, there may be times when another aircraft or entity may laser designate a target for you. To do so, you will use the Laser Spot Search (LSS) and Laser Spot Track (LST) modes of the TGP. Once you are tracking a laser designated target, you can then easily switch to an AREA or POINT track of that target and engage it. As with setting up your laser, the first thing you will need to do is go to the A-G Control (CNTL) page and enter the LSS code. As with the Laser code, this defaults to 1688 but any four digit code may be entered by first typing it into the scratchpad and then pressing OSB 17 (LSS). After you have set the LSS code for the laser code you want the TGP to search for, return to the main A-G page and either slew or slave the TGP line of sight to the general area you want the TGP to search for the designation laser. ****With TGP as SOI and the TGP pointed to the target area, initiate LSS mode by pressing and holding the DMS long press to the Right.**** Upon doing so, the TGP video image will freeze and you will see the Situational Awareness Cue sweep back and forth as the TGP raster scans for the designation. When a designation has been detected in the searched area at the correct code, a DETECT message will appear on the TGP. page 586: Figure 476. Maverick in Weapon Mode, Tracking 1. When the Maverick has locked on to a target, the Pointing Cross that represents the pointing angle of the Maverick in relation to the aircraft’s longitudinal axis will flash. 2. At this point you can hold down the weapon release button to launch the missile. If you have fired a Maverick from a LAU-88 launcher, the next Maverick on the launcher will automatically be selected and slewed to the last Maverick lock location. This is termed a “Quick Draw”. ****If however you wish to select a Maverick from another station, you must cycle your profile using the HUD rotary by pressing DMS Left or Right Short.**** If you wish to re-cage the Maverick seeker to its boresight position or the seeker has reached its gimbal limits, you can re-cage the seeker to boresight by pressing China Hat Aft Short. page 641: ****DMS RIGHT LONG "HOLD TO START LSS"**** ****NO LONGER VALID FUNCTIONALITY**** I'm sure the manual is a WIP, like some of the HOTAS commands in the aircraft and other things - but figured I'd throw this out there for quick reference / modification if it's wasn't already being tracked on someone's to do radar. Keep up the good work, enjoying all the new upgrades to DCS.
