Trackfile - Diagnostic

[Ah_Pook]

I'm doing the Shooting range mission, i take off, travel to range and shoot some trucks up...yay :D

 

Then i return to base for refuel and a default payload (f6), i return to the range and can't Acquire Target, the targeting system just won't lock on to anything :huh:

 

Could someone take a look to see if i've done anything wrong?

Shoot range can't get TA.trk

not enough light????

 

[havn't seen the track BTW]

You mean it won't lock on in the dark!?

 

It was dark yeah, but i didn't think that would matter?

Of course that matters, the shkval works in the visual light spectrum and tracks if there is a contrast gradient, if there's no light, there's no contrast.

Damn! I thought it worked on infrared, so how can people do missions at night?

 

Do they use unguided cannons and rockets only?

Pretty much, unless illumination flares are dropped by other aircraft. Of course you can still fire Vikhr's at night, it's just that they won't track automatically.
