Dozer1606688093 Posted April 28, 2022 Posted April 28, 2022 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? [sIGPIC]http://imageshack.com/a/img202/730/vguserbarmask.gif[/sIGPIC]
Kharrn Posted April 28, 2022 Posted April 28, 2022 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.

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 K
Kharrn Posted April 28, 2022 Posted April 28, 2022 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 -.- Greetings K AH64D_KHR_NV_test training scenario.miz
Dozer1606688093 Posted April 28, 2022 Author Posted April 28, 2022 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?

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. K
