L2MUM Activation in Mission Editor

[jcagle]

Hello,

  I setup a practice mission with a target range, and the L2MUMs does not seems to work (screen is black).  I have no issue getting it to work in the missions supplied by Polychop.  Is there an option in the Mission Editor I am missing?

If you have the auto target and lase script (no need for 9-line procedure), you can try the attached test mission. Working for me.

Thank you, that was helpful!  I must have missed it somewhere, but the L2MUMs system appears incompatible with the AN/ALQ-144 IRCM.   The latter is installed, then the L2MUMs system be will a black screen.

I see. Never tried the IRCM. You can report this in the bugs section though I think sadly, PC in its current state (?) might not respond for a long time.

PS: Just for info, there is also another L2MUM issue (not fixed) reported here.

The IRCM (disco ball, etc.) and L2MUM incompatibility is NOT a bug, I forget the exact details but IIRC the satellite antenna, etc. used by the L2MUM data link is fitted in the same location as the disco ball, so IRL an older Kiowa with IRCM cannot support L2MUM.

Great to know, thank you!
