Zeus67 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Folks, On the next update the TPOD Laser arming requirements will be fully active. The requirements have been there from the beginning but were not working. That has been fixed. If the requirements are not met you cannot set the laser to ARMED. If ARMED, either FIRING or not, if the conditions are not met the laser will be turned off and safed (SAFE showing in PB06). These are the conditions: Landing Gear UP Airspeed > 100 KCAS Master Arm: ARM Master Mode: AG TPOD SWFOV mode: OFF TPOD must be either Area or Point Locked or be slaved to a System Designation. Please keep this list in mind after the next DCS update. 5 4 "Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.

Savvy Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Thanks for letting us know. If possible, please put it in the change log. Harrier really is turning into a great module. I'm slowly forgetting how to fly the other jets because the Harrer is just so much fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falcon_120 Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Thanks RAZBAM, you are surely working to make a wonderful product with the harrier (and the M2000). I will sure buy future modules given this support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please keep this list in mind after the next DCS update. I started a post before seeing this...but i think it is still a problem. If you touch the slew button AT ALL it renders safe. Hope this can be reviewed and fixed, or tell us that this is how it is meant to work. Shooting anything moving, even in active pause, anywhere other than a runway is now effectively impossible... the point track (or MT if this works?) is not going to be perfect. So if you lose the target and need to move the slew button even slightly to reaquire, then laser turns off of, so you need to un-safe and fire again...this does not seem intuitive.... It also appears that if you need to turn momentarily and it tries to re-aquire, even if successful, it also renders safe; maybe this is because INS is making it re-aquire and it resets the logic. Thanks in advance. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
