JaBoG32_Prinzartus Posted November 15, 2011 Posted November 15, 2011 (edited) Does anyone know the time endurance parameters for laser painting. We beleive to have discovered that the tgp's laser pointer get too hot (or refuse to work) after one is painting for too long (with DCSWH 1.1.1.0). I do not know if it cools down at all thereafter. Has anyone experienced similar behaviour? EDIT: No one?! FYI, we trained buddy-lasing techniques which requires the painter's laser actived much longer than it would for self-lasing attack-runs.

SmokeyTheLung Posted November 16, 2011 Posted November 16, 2011 As far as I know the laser will fire indefinitely in the sim. Since the first beta, very rarely, I've run into an inoprativve laser ("L" won't flash for joystick/keyboard commands) but I've always assumed it was an obscure bug. What did you guys discover? Or did a few of you just lose the ability to lase after a while? System specifications: Computer, joystick, DCS world, Beer
jazjar Posted November 17, 2011 Posted November 17, 2011 It's an American laser, not a russian one, so it lasts forever! (IDK!) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Frostiken Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 If you're wondering in reality, I'll see if I can find out for you. We stopped using LITENING pods so I might be able to tell you LANTIRN and Sniper only. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Thereafter a "T" symbol appears in the TGP an the laser does not paint anymore. Although 20 minutes of lasing should be fairly enough normally, it might be a limiting factor for AFAC roles. Furthermore, the laser cannot be fires again en after 30 mins of cooling. Currently it looks like you can paint for 20 minutes, and that's it. Still to be confirmed by others though.

Grimes Posted November 22, 2011 Posted November 22, 2011 20 minutes total time or 20 minutes non-stop? The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

Megagoth1702 Posted November 23, 2011 Posted November 23, 2011 Probably non-stop. Why else would a laser overheat? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] System specs:2500k @ 4.6 GHz 8GB RAM HD7950 OC'd Win7 x64 Posting tracks to make your DCS better - attention bump incoming!
Nu-NRG Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 My wingman was just hit by it. When ever he fired the damn thing, it fired only for two seconds and then stopped. Latch on or off, did not matter. Anyone has any ideas? Aviate - Navigate - Communicate
