AH64 and how to enter the correct Laser code (1688) to buddy laser for an A10c?

[j-tk]

As the title says, the channels are Alphabetical on the Apache and numerical on the A10c II.  Is there a way to make them match?  Or do I need to use LSS search function on the A10c II and drop the paveways from there?

Thanks!

If you look at the CODE sub-page from the WPN page, you will see that it not only lists what each code is set to, but allows you to change them as well.

To clarify:

The apache uses letters to identify laser codes. You set your LRFD/LST and missile seeker's to lase on or search for those codes by letters.

The actual laser code is identified by a number. You can assign valid numbers to each letter. For example if you have your missiles and your own laser on some letter, say "C", you can change the code for C and all associated laser codes that are set to C will change accordingly.

The actual laser will pulse in specific patterns described by the numeric laser code, which is what laser trackers or weapon seekers will search for.

The letters in the Apache are basically like radio presets, except for laser codes. It's still a code, just represented by a letter for convenience, presumably since Apache missions tend to have a lot of lasing going on at once.
