Fang333333 Posted December 29, 2020 Posted December 29, 2020 Hey guys, I reinstalled my sim a few days ago (special thanks to the forum for help) and I am still having issues with the Maverick and moving targets. Specifically Mission (13?) in Raven 1, I can't get the missile to uncross and be golden. I did it once no problem and now I cannot launch at all. I'm going by memory so excuse some inaccuracies in my description... I start with the Hud as "SOI", focus on the sub's general area, sensor switch to right DDI FLIR, turn on FLIR mode in TGP, tap right sensor switch 2-3 more times to lock the moving target. Flip the lasing switch on to the right of pilot, activate "Trigger" in TGP right DDI, pull trigger, "LST" in Hud flashes, sensor switch to left Maverick submode in left DDI. I then hit Uncage button, the upside down triangle travels to TGP box in HUD, Maverick remains crossed out. I try triggering the lasing again, uncage recage etc, Maverick is still not launchable. What should am I missing? Thanks Fang
Fang333333 Posted December 30, 2020 Author Posted December 30, 2020 Can someone please say something about this? I am stuck flying the same thing over and over again.
Flappie Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) Hi Fang. You really should post in the Hornet's dedicated subforum if you want a fast and effective answer (sorry, I don't know this aircraft, yet). Edited December 30, 2020 by Flappie On holiday
rob10 Posted December 30, 2020 Posted December 30, 2020 As Flappie said, you're better off with this question in the F-18 subforum. Things to try: confirm you're using the MAV 65E (laser) not the MAV 65F (IR guided). Did you have BOTH Master Arm armed and A-G mode selected? Is the MAV detecting the laser spot (small X on the screen will turn to a filled square)? Try using autolase rather than TRIG (you just don't check TRIGGER) -- once you've set the target, press and release the weapon release and that will start lasing and then wait for it to catch the laser spot. Barring that some people have been having issues getting it to track the laser (see the MAV threads in the F-18 section).
