missing track file Reaper MQ

[Viciam1]

Hi guys,

So I was in an online server and first time using Reaper MQ for MGRS coordinates..He gives them automatically at random times which is fine. I enter them in strp 21. He doesn't give elevation however which is annoying. I then enter it all and hit convert.

It creates. He says hes laseing on 1655...i enter 1655 for tgp and lst by going to list and lase option.

But he don't lase when I drop the bomb? Theres no Reaper option in the f10 comms menu either.
Please help what im doing wrong. I want it to hit the target with him lasing.

only step i see you may be missing is to turn laser search on to find the target near the coordinates.

Bomb has to be dropped in the direction of the target for its seeker to find reapers laser.

Then the bomb code needs to be the same as reaper laser code if you want the bomb to follow its laser mark (bomb code is set in the kneeboard prior to engine start),

or you can find its laser mark and lase your self with your laser, given your bomb code and your laser code match.

 

edit: Yea its annoying that reaper doesn't provide elevation which we need to set up precise stpt

Keep in mind that bomb laser code is separate from anything you set up in the aircraft and you can't change it mid flight

DCS F-16C Early Access Guide page 359.

[Viciam1]

Thanks for that @Furiz

i'll give it a try according to this. Quick question...so if the reaper is giving 1655 code...i do as page 359 says...change it before start up and STA button off

Engine has to be below 20% RMP to change that code in the kneeboard. So basically before you even touch any of the switches. I usually do it before I turn the battery on

Cool. So if reaper is giving me 1655.  Change it to 1655 before start up

 

do i need to do anything else or just drop it like a normal ccrp drop

[Furiz]

You can drop it in CCRP or CCIP if you want, just make sure it goes in the vicinity of target, so bomb can catch that reaper laser.

[Viciam1]

Okay thanks. When u say vicinity....i just type in the mgrs and drop the bomb when I get ccrp drop que...

Also

U know the reaper its not giving elevation. This is a big issue coz if I want to use tgp its not possible. 

Is there a way around this.

You could use the ground radar to lock on to the target STPT location. Just cursor zero and TMS Up. That way you should get accurate elevation data on the correct coordinates.
