George does not fire or gives laser on targets

[[BSD] Solex]

Multiplayer, Syria, George AI as CPG.

Started with empty pylons, hot start from LHA1.

 

Rearmed and refueled at a farp, changed laser codes from A to F, after that the AI did not give a target laser, AI did do the laser range finder correctly.

No Missile Datumline and no Constraints Box (LOAL LOBL)  visible.

On the MFD Weapons page > UTIL the laser on/off was not visible or available.

AI did not laser designate targets, but did target the AAA on the ground. No laser designation X on the TADS target location.

Went back to the farp, full shut down, engines off, powered down. Battery off.  After that still no succes.

AI did not shoot the 30mm Area Weapon either.

tried it again today, single player this time.

George only started shooting after holding fire for a very long time.

Track is included.

I tried my first mission where I was flying with george was to be gunner.  Not special.  I had a bunch of yatches in different. Harbors.  I put him on attack at will mode.  I would say attaching but nothing was fired.  Is any one else having this problem?

After flying for quite a while the CLOS on the PLT HMD with TADS as ACQ moves to the right spot, but the TADS video feed does take an extraordinarily long time to slew onto the target, and the delay before getting the solid launch box seems to increase with time too. This means that George takes a very long time between assigning a target to him and actually being willing to fire. Quite often if the TADS video is on the target and George is falling behind I'll just WAS the missiles myself and fire.

Check your Missile settings on the weapons page. Make sure its in SAL mode, not RF.

"Missile Type. Toggles between semi-active laser (SAL) or radio frequency (RF) Hellfire missiles. Only selectable in the CPG station if TADS is the selected sight. When HMD is selected sight, SAL is automatically selected and barriered. If FCR is the selected sight, RF is automatically selected and barriered."

It may be something else for you but this is why it often doesnt work for me. Seems i somehow activate RF mode often.

And of course you have to slew him first to the target area. It gos like this (depending on acusition source of course):

1. look with your ihadss at the target area and slew him to that area with "short up" on the George interface, with missiles selected
2. Now left bottom of screen a list of targets appears. Scroll through the list with "short up/down" and choose one with "short right".
3. Now give consent to fire, if youre sure that the rectangle is solid 

To help see what George is seeing, click the video page on the display and choose CPG sight.
