Jenson Posted June 6, 2024 Posted June 6, 2024 Hello, many JTAC callsigns are broken and cause no response from JTAC. Afaik, callsigns Deathstar, Playboy, Hammer, Firefly (maybe more) are all broken. Attached picture shows the name of JTAC changed to "ATGM .... " if the callsigns are broken (In red color).

Jenson Posted June 6, 2024 Author Posted June 6, 2024 A second thought, maybe ATGM HMMWV and ATGM Stryker are no longer functional for AFAC action?

Flappie Posted June 6, 2024 Posted June 6, 2024 (edited) The callsign issue is reported internally and a fix is on the way. 17 hours ago, Jenson said: A second thought, maybe ATGM HMMWV and ATGM Stryker are no longer functional for AFAC action? If you give these units the "FAC" task, they should work as a JTAC. If this does not work, please attach a track or at least a mission file. Edited June 6, 2024 by Flappie ---
ex81 Posted June 6, 2024 Posted June 6, 2024 I tried these JTAC names and they do answer: Axeman, Pointer, Eyeball , Finger. If a JTAC name is broken, you`re not able to even call them. Example is Deathstar uploaded mission here JTAC-TEST.miz What goes up, must come down !

Hi Flappie, already give these unites FAC task but still it won't work (except when the unit has callsign Darknight, Warrior, Axeman) I didn't test all the callsign but clearly many callsign are broken and the JTAC won't respond (even the player's radio transmit is broken). Please find attached track file.

Flappie Posted June 7, 2024 Posted June 7, 2024 Yes, I know it's still broken in the public build. I tested a fix yesterday in ED internal build. I tried the whole callsigns list, and everything worked, from Axeman to Badger. Let's wait for the next update. 1 ---
BammBamm Posted June 12, 2024 Posted June 12, 2024 (edited) Related to this, the JTAC also isn't lasing anymore. I could be doing something wrong, but I've done lots of these and never had the issue. JTAC chooses GBU-12 and announces clear to engage, but the laser options aren't there anymore. I tried this with the FAC task and the enroute FAC task. Unit is infantry JTAC. Laser code is correct, designation is laser, group is selected correctly and is in line of sight. I have even tried this on a straight runway for line of sight testing. Also worth noting, once 9-line is complete and he says clear to engage, my only option at that point is attack complete. No IP Inbound, nothing. Just attack complete. And yes, I have also tried it with the HMMWV TOW, same result. This is a brand new mission created fresh also. One more image showing my options after clear to engage. Any help or insight is greatly appreciated. Bamm null null Edited June 12, 2024 by BammBamm Added images
Flappie Posted June 12, 2024 Posted June 12, 2024 I tried to redo your mission and got the same result: your JTAC is hidden in the trees and seems it prevents him to lase. Then I set him close to the target as invisible, and this time it lases. laser.trk ---
BammBamm Posted June 12, 2024 Posted June 12, 2024 (edited) Intersting, thank you. I also tried him on a straight runway for line of sight and I got the same result. I will try again and see if it works for me. Thank you for the help! -- Edit -- That was it. I always assumed if it didn't turn orange saying it doesn't have line of sight that it would just work. Too bad we can't look through the spotters eyes when creating it. Thanks again Flappie. Edited June 12, 2024 by BammBamm 1
