Not sure if this question already been answered somewhere, but Is it possible to get the Jtac or any other unit to lase for you?

simply put: yes

has been asked already.

JTAC (DCS FAC) and also scripted JTAC and also A-FAC (AI) or multiplayer buddy lase, all work.

as one example:

 

your question was "is it possible...", this i did answer and this is also answered in the linked thread. Maybe be a bit more specific on what you need to know!?

If you need to know "how to", i would ask you to consult the quick start manual for the AH64D at first, page 313ff, chapter "Laser-guided Hellfire engagement (Remote Fire)".

If you need to know how to set up an AI FAC/JTAC or A-FAC in the Mission Editor (ME) i would consult the google search or forum search in the ME area.

Casmo also has a nice vid on this topic. Many thanks as always to @Casmo

FYInterset i just put together a quick mission on my "testbed".

It is on Nevada Map, if you do not own it, i recommend buying...ok jsut kidding If you don't own it, i can port it to Caucasus or Marianas if need be.

Choose the slot saying something with "BEATTY ...and JTAC training". It is a hot start on ground.

There is one A-FAC (Kiowa AI) on 127.5 and 2x JTAC each on 30 FM. (put it in briefing notes for fast reference).

be advised this is WiP and JTACs/FAC sometimes do not work as intended -.-

Thanks man! I however don´t own the Nevada map.. Any chance to get it in the Caucasus? 

I´m playing the "Georgian Hammer" campaign right now, and JTAC is an option there in the radio menu. Sure, he can call out target coordinates for me (thinks it´s voiced by Wags by the way), but can i use him to lase a targets for me as well?

gtg to work soon but can port it to Caucasus tomorrow if noone is fester

For the JTAC to lase targets as prerequisits: he has to have Line of Sight (LoS) to the target and the equipment (not all vehicles/units can lase). Also he needs to be in weapon range for some reason because that seems to be his/her laser range - to my knowledge at least.... (in DCS).

So it all comes down to how the JTAC is placed and set up by the mission creator (e.g. FAC group engage or FAC enroute...)

You cant "order" a JTAC to lase a target - at least not the standard ED JTACs. Dont know much about...scipted ones though.
