lasing with TPOD armed&fire

[Jyge]

When doing multiple attacks, let's say with GBU-12. If I make the first run, I switch the pod to "armed", "laser" and "fire". Now, seems to be that after some time, the pod goes automatically to "safe" and stops firing. Whereas I can relate why it does not go on lasing forever, I am baffled why it goes to safe. I have had now multiple times, that I make the second run and it is armed and firing and then shortly before I release, or after I release it goes to safe (due to the timeout, or whatever) - what is the "right" way to do things. Manually switch of fire after the hit? Can I then avoid the TPOD going "safe"? Are there some hotas keys for firing or is it just the OSBs?

AFAIK there are just the OSBs when firing the TPOD laser in the Night Attack version (Radar versions can also use the throttle APS switch).

You should be stopping the laser after the weapon hits.
