Precision Guided Bombs Training Problem

[sledgeweb]

Following this training mission word for word, and am running into a problem. I'm on 1.1.0.8 with the updated missions download installed.

 

I get to where I set steering point to waypoint 4, then hold down the "V" key to make the waypoint SPI on all sensors. That works fine, and I see the range in my right MFCD. Then, I'm suppose to slew my targetting point onto the smoke target. Done. Then, I'm asked to L.CTRL-UP to change the tracking mode... but it's not working at all. It doesn't show it's on AREA tracking, and I can't get it to point. L.CTRL-UP isn't doing anything for me. So, I never get further instructions.

 

Also, how can I find the mission track for the training mission? You don't get an option to save the track when you quite (bug?). And, I can't find the lastmissiontrack.trk file... instructions say it is in c:\users\... but I don't have a c:\users folder (I'm on XP, not Windows 7). And, I did a search for the filename, and didn't come up with anything.

 

The "Temp" folder under the valve/steam/steamapps/common/dcs a-10 folder is empty.

 

Thank you.

Seems to be I just needed to steer to the target more, then I can switch to AREA or POINT modes. After that, got some HUNG STORES, learned how to reset the error, and then drop the bombs proper. :) Maverick training next...
