How to make RQ-1A fire AGM114?

[foxwxl]

It's strange that RQ-1A do not fire AGM114 in my mission, I have setup WP and TARGETING point ,loadout AGM114, they just don't fire .The task type has been change through AFAC and GROUND ATTACK, nothing diffierent.

 

When pilot skill is Excellent, the RQ-1A just circle at certain position away from target at about 1.5KM. If the pilot skill is good or average , the RQ-1A will fly directly above the target again and again.

 

Any one knows about this?

I can confirm the same problem. Tried to set target directly on top of T-55 and no joy on Firing the missle. Any knowledge of this ED??

I also was unable to get the RQ-1A to fire on a target.

I can confirm the weird circles the Predator flies in some situations, but I did manage to make it fire a Hellfire on at least one occasion. This needs to be looked at more to figure out why it happens.

No weapons showing up on mine how do we "activate" it please

If you give the Predator the "ground attack" task it'll show the load out of 2 AGM-114.

Any luck to repeat that again?:huh:

Have you set correct ASR? (Altitude Speed Range)

 

Not that i know of there is any, but still...

Now I've found I can load out, I have tried various different missions and all have the same fault, flies around gaining height (no matter if already set) then flies home with weapons intact. Hopefully ED can help, I've gone through all documents and they don't help

No luck so far. I have no clue what might be the cause if all this, but I'll continue my investigations.

Success!

 

Here's a mission in which a Predator destroys two BTR-80's with Hellfires.

 

I have no clue why it works, but here are some of the mission parameters:

• 1000m altitude at attack waypoint
  
• 10m attack circle around ground vehicle
  
• ground vehicle as target category
  
• one target circle per unit
  
• one attack waypoint per target circle
  
• tasked with ground attack
  
• average pilot skill

@ 51 Case: Flown the mission 6 times and it will not drop any weapons, I flew it that many times because I think the 'rotation' of things happening changes every fourth or fifth mission. Thanks for trying anyways

My bad, I uploaded the wrong file. Here's the right one.

I found out some interesting things.

 

1. Skill is important: only with 'average' or 'good' skill will it fire
   
2. Distance is important: within 10km it will fire
   
3. Altitude is important: around 1000m altitude it will fire
   

 

Whenever I placed the skill to 'high' or 'excellent', the Predator would go in its climbing circle.

 

If placed too far from the target too attack, further than about 10km, it would proceed to the next waypoint.

 

If placed too high it would extend and decend to 2737m altitude to turn back it, but it wouldn't fire.
