Question F18/GB24/ATFLIR

Hi folks, I have two almost identical missions each using the GB24.  In both missions I lock the target in the ATFLIR using the radar.  

In mission 1, everything works fine (CLAR SL/auto lase)

In mission 2, I get a large flashing X (cross) on the HUD when the GB24 is selected although the stores page indicates the GB24 is RDY.  I get all the normal que info in the HUD (CLAR SL), but when I hold the release button down, the GB24 releases immediately (instead of when the cue-ball hits the reticle circle [the CLAR OVR option is NOT boxed]) and the laser does not auto fire (so I then quickly box the TRIG option on the FLIR screen and manually lase).  

I have repeated both missions several times ... mission 1 always works as expected, mission 2 always does not.   I suspect the large flashing X in the HUD is trying to tell me something is wrong but I've googled and didn't find any information.

Do any of you know what's up?

 

Thanks!

Walker

Thanks for the replies and sorry for my delayed response.

I think I have an understanding of circumstance now.

I believe the large flashing X in the HUD is indicating that the laser is not seeing the target (in my case I believe it was due to cloud cover interference although it seemed I was flying below the cloud bases) and in which case the GB24 releases on pilot command - this makes sense.

Thanks again,

Walker
