Maverick and TGP....once more please.....

[openfalcon68]

Using version 1.1.1.1.

 

I am able to make the maverick seeker head see what the TGP is seeing and after than I am not able to lock the maverick and fire.

 

Would appreciate you point me in to the solution using keyboard shortcuts.

 

I have been through the youtube videos but they are not working for me.

 

Please help....

You need to press tms up which is Left control+up arrow key when the maverick is looking at the target. If there is not enough contrast it will not lock. Once locked fire.

Ah, so you can lock a Maverick by TMS up once you point it where the TGP is pointing?

 

I always thought you had to slew. Damn!

 

Still can't figure the cross-correlate mode though.

It used to be like that in back in the beta IIRC, not anymore though.

Make sure you're using the correct maverick, only the G and K have the force correlate mode.

Worked like charm......The operative word is press and not hold Left control+up arrow key.

 

Brings a whole new dimension to the game. Launch range is about 5.5 miles as seen in the TGP not more than that.

 

Oh one more thing....I will list out keyboard steps for 1.1.1.1 in a couple of days.....I do not think I saw "press Left control+up arrow key" anywhere.......

 

Many Thanks again.....

It'll still lock by slewing then releasing over a target, just like in RL I believe.

Interesting. It says G, H and K in the manual???:huh:

The manual is correct.

Got it to work now. I had the wrong Maverick selected without realising it.

I have a lot of trouble getting Mavs to lock on target. I am trying TMS down short to ground stabilize then trying to slew it over the target but it's a random success thing. I would think you could use the TGP to set a SPI on the target and then China Hat forward to slave the Mav. Does that work? I haven't tried TMS short up though.

TMS Fwd Short toggles/commands the Maverick from a non-tracked state to a tracked state. It needs to be tracking to be able to launch.

 

As a consequence, if you have never tried TMS Fwd Short then it's no wonder you are having problems. They will not 'lock' if you don't tell them to 'lock'.

Either TMS Fwd Short or touching the slew is needed for the "lock", AFAIK.

I do it like this:

 

1. Set up TGP point track from long range (if this is a waypoint you can do it with China FWD long with HUD as SOI).

 

2. TMS Up Long.

 

3. Coolie Right Short to set MAV SOI.

 

4. China FWD Long to set MAV to TGP target.

 

5. TMS Up Short to lock.

Wrapping my head around the Mav too. I also like to have a close look with the TGP, set it as SPI then slave the MAV to the SPI but doing it that way it's not ground stabilised if I have to slew it a little to lock. Can you do a TMS Aft short then TMS forward short? Will it be ground stabilised after launch?

[Loggert]

Usually I'll spot with tgp, make spi and then slave my mavs to it. TMS forward and hopefully it starts tracking, if not, get a tiny bit closer and then go for the TMS forward again ;)

If not just get altitude and drop a CBU12 on it ;)

After slaving Mav to SPI, all you need to do it command it to track, ie TMS Fwd Short. Keep at it until Mav tracks.
