JTAC Won't Lase

[Mistermann]

I often run into trouble when in the ME when I run into a roadblock and can't tell if its a bug, or simply how I have things setup.  IDK, I am hoping this is just my misunderstanding of what it takes to get the JTAC to lase a target.  I am drawing inspiration from @Wags video below.

All I am trying to do is practice some LOAL hellfire shooting during the day.  Eventually, once I get the bugs worked out, I will change time to night.

Unfortunately, I cannot even get the JTAC to lase the target for me.  Below is how I have the JTAC unit configured

I have tried all sorts of settings on the JTAC and am now asking for help here.  I have an Apache sitting 6mi south of this location.  I contact the JTAC on the radio and checkin.  He gives me the 9-line and tells me to engage with Laser Hellfire.  BUT ... he doesn't lase.  He's expecting me to find the target, lase and engage.

What am I missing?  There's no option to lase whatsoever (I don't even know if there should be).

Attaching the trackfile in case that helps.  I'm running MT.

Thanks for any assistance here.

NOTE:  I have adjusted the laser code on the JTAC in the ME to 1588 thinking that I possibly had an improper code (too high).

The JTAC gives you "no Mark". That means that he will not lase.  

Looking on your Mission I'm not sure if the JTAC has really a line of sight on the target. Best is you place the JTAC directly beside the target so that you can be sure that you will have a line of sight and test again.

The notification in the mission editor that lasing is possible is often only a possibility and must not be truth.

Eureka!  @buur, that was the problem.  Thanks so much!!!  Not sure how long it would have taken me to figure that one out.
