P instead of L for Laser

[tonym]

Whilst trying to deploy a GBU, instead of the usual "L" for the Laser operation a "P" appeared in the HUD & whilst the GBU released the laser seemed to be inactive & the target was missed. What had happened to the laser operation? I can't find any reference in the handbook.

You switched to the IR Pointer (DMS right short with TGP as SOI).

Thanks Eddie. Mystery solved!

Furthermore, you can switch to "B" (both). Could come in handy when working at night with a buddy, or with Combined Ops JTAC, as a visual cue on your current target.
