AegisFX Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I've noticed that when I'm using the ATFLIR to drop LGBs, the LTD/R switch turns off after use. Is this a new/changed feature? I admit I haven't been keeping up with every single change but this has taken me by surprise.

Solution Tholozor Posted August 10, 2023 Solution Share Posted August 10, 2023 This is a safety feature to disable the laser to prevent overheating when LGBs are dropped using AUTO delivery. 2 1 REAPER 51 | Tholozor VFA-136 (c.2007): https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3305981/ Arleigh Burke Destroyer Pack (2020): https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3313752/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuLLeT.ZA Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 It's one of the most annoying features of the F18. 1 Saitek X52 | 4770k@4.3GHz | MSI 1080GTX Armor OC | TrackIR 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weasel Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 It's one of the most annoying features of the F18.Why annoying? Because you may forget to re-activate the switch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nealius Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 This seems to be inconsistent for me, though I have mine mapped to a 2-way toggle on my Warthog. Anyone else do the same and noticed that sometimes it will not revert to off after lasing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happens occasionally, though not too often. It's more that trying to find a spare hand to grab the mouse and hit the switch while maneuvering that can sometimes prove... challenging. Mapping it could help but it's still annoying to me. It distracts me from concentrating on the task at hand. 1 Saitek X52 | 4770k@4.3GHz | MSI 1080GTX Armor OC | TrackIR 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost always change out to GPS guided. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AegisFX Posted August 11, 2023 Author Share Posted August 11, 2023 I appreciate the feedback! It looks like I've really just been out of touch with this. Shows how frequently I get to fly these days!! 1 Owned: Ryzen 3900x, MSI AMD 470x mobo, 32gb 3200MHz ram, Gtx 1660 Ti, 970 Evo Plus 500GB, MsFFB2, TIR5, TMWH+18c Stick, MFG Crosswinds, Buttkicker/SSA, WinWing F-18C .
