[NO BUG] Laser Maverick + TPOD

[LordOrion]

I'm trying using the procedure described into the last Chuck's Guide to launch AGM-65E with TPOD but something seems to be worng:

• If I select the AGM-65E missile form the stores page or weapon panel and then open TPOD page the missile is unselected and set back in STBY (*).
• When in TPOD page and lasing the target, selecting the AGM-65E missile form the stores page or weapon panel will open missile feed page, HOWEVER laser designatior is turned OFF and put in STBY (you can see this coming back in TPOD page).

There is no way to employ the E Maverick in this way, any clue?

Am I doing something wrong or is there a bug?

 

(*) Same occurs with F maverick too.

Only AGM-65E2 can be self designated.

You can't have targeting pod and Maverick feed open at the same time.

Ouch!

Thank you!

Also worth noting that in case of laser maverick you don't need to see its page at all, just lase, uncage, point the nose of the aircraft in the general direction of the target, once you see the target boxed on your HUD and you're within the firing range (laser Maverick can lock on from further away than TV/IR guided ones so ballistic range becomes an issue) you can fire
