Autolase Failure???

[ENO]

I know at least one person in the past had his refueling receptacle slaved to some common key combination unbeknownst to him (can't remember the exact scenario) and turned out he was trying to do this with his refueling door open- resulted in the same problem.

 

Possible?

[Fakum]

hmmm,, will have a look,, thanks

Alternatively you could press TMS down long to set your steerpoint as the SPI and then press China hat forward long to slave all your senors (including TGP and Mavs) to that SPI.

 

Ah! This I shall try!!! Thanx! :thumbup:

For clarification purposes, please correct me if I am incorrect:

TMS Down Short= Reset SPI to Steer Point

TMS Down Long= Cancel Current SPI

For clarification purposes, please correct me if I am incorrect:

TMS Down Short= Reset SPI to Steer Point

TMS Down Long= Cancel Current SPI

 

TMS Aft Long = Set SPI as steerpoint

 

The function of TMS Aft Short will depend on the current SOI. There is no "reset SPI" or "cancel SPI".

[Fakum]

Yeah, I think we are almost on the same page,,, your use (and probably others) of the word "AFT" is equal to "Down",,,,, in other words, when your physically looking at that button on the stick and you push it to the 6 oclock position, its considered Aft or Down,,, Im personally referring to it as Down instead of Aft.

 

When I tap TMS down to the 6 oclock position, it will reset my SPI to Steer Point.

 

I going to have to go back and see why I have my Cougar Profile stating that holding it down Long cancels my current SPI? Sorry if I confused anyone.

When you HOLD TMS down it will reset your SPI to the Steer Point. Tapping TMS down will perform different functions depending on SOI.

Yes, thanks for chiming in on this,, After reviewing functions I have found a chart I downloaded a couple years back, It states for TMS Down Functions:

If TAD = SOI, function = Reset Cursor

If TGP = SOI, function = Boresight TGP

If HUD = SOI, function = Cage TGP to TW

Aim 9 Missle Step

Mav Missle Step

 

Then, in BOLD RED (indicating holding long) it says " Slave TGP to Steerpoint"

 

I have to revisit this and apparently reconfigure my Cougar Profile after I see how if functions after I specifically test out the characteristics of operation. Thanks guys

Those are the functions of china hat aft, not TMS. Do yourself a favour, forget whatever chart you're using and just look in the DCS manual.

[Fakum]

damit! Your right,, and thats what the cahrt says. I goofed again and was reading and typing the wrong info, should have said:

 

TMS Down (AFT)

 

If TAD = SOI, function = Unhook

If TGP = SOI, function = INR Track

If HUD = SOI, function = IFCC SPI

Aim 9 Missle Break Lock

Mav Missle Ground Satabilize

 

Then, in BOLD RED (indicating holding long) it says " SPI to Steerpoint"

Great Chart to laminate and add to my "Kneeboard"! Thanx! :thumbup:

I had Issues with my Laze, I read some where that the laze will heat up and go off for cool down and come back up, I'm swearing I noticed this modeled, as I was "Both" at night with NVGs on doing gun strafes. my laze wouldn't work for the next path but latter it worked fine. it turned out I had PC issues unrelated to any of this. Sooo.. could you be lazing something too long? and it that even modeled???...

Spokejockey. This may not be the issue but I have noticed this as well. Found out that I had my flaps set for M/R and ocationally I slowed down enought for the flaps to set. I knew that I can't fire Mavs when flaps are set, but this also applies to laser.

Just a suggestion, Lead :thumbup:

 

Cheers

[Berndt Mangler]

Good find, that gets me too, it will not be our last either, I've learned to just check the flaps before I go in. Also when I take off I say over and over...gear, flaps, lights till I get them all in check.

Is 1644 a valid laser code? Try lasing with default 1688 and see if it works.
