Laser Code 1113 and (at least) Su-25T

It some what works for the 25A. What it does it moves the reticle over the target, but the missiles wont follow that.. its a bummer :( So you can use it to find where the targets are, then manually move the reticle over the target.

Try this with The Su-25A:

Human JTAC lasing the target.

Su-25A with laser ground stabilised around target area.

Wait for launch authorized, then launch and then laser off to see if the missile is guided by JTAC.

I already checked the Su-25A. It does not work. You get the lock but as soon as you fire, your own laser is switched on and the missile will explode somewhere in air...

So here's the million dollar question: How do we get LGBs and -65Es onto the A-10A?

Ok, for the life of me I can't find the line in CTLD to change the laser code. I'd assume it was near the top in the JTAC section but I don't see it.

Here you go:

ctld.JTACAutoLase('JTAC1', 1688)

Its an argument on the do script so you can replace 1688 with whatever you want.

Full details here: https://github.com/ciribob/DCS-CTLD/blob/master/README.md#jtac-automatic-targeting-and-laser

The KA-50 can set three different laser codes as well.

I did not test if or how it works but at least you can change the laser code.

Lol two more codes to find.

Seems like ED decided to remove this feature. Its not Working in 1.5 anymore.

Can somebody doublecheck?

Very strange move by ED. But thanks for letting us know. I will skip that last update then.

Probably it's because this "feature" wasn't right. What I mean is, it might be impossible in real life, so there is no reason for being in the game.

It is a bit funny, an A-10 could lase Ka-50 or Su-25T missiles, and I'm sure this is something RL equipment makers would like to avoid. Also, perhaps this might even be exploited online to interfere with people's guidence, may be not.

All that said, I think I remember this was an actual way to guide Su-25 missiles IRL. If what I remember is correct, they would mount a laser guidance unit on an APC, and this unit would paint the target for Kh-25ML. Su-25 could fire it and leave, with the APC guiding it from ground.

Not sure where was it I read that though, so don't really have a source to show unfortunately.

That's sad, we miss so many flyable planes for a real world scenario, but this bug gave us a good workaround for mod planes with not simulated systems...

sad...

Well, I can't say I wasn't expecting this and feel a little sorry for posting it.

:worthy: GG ED you fixed something that isn't really a bug, you should look over here--->Release Version Bugs and Problems

so BMPs can no longer lase for SU-25?

I'm updated Ciribob's standalone AI JTAC Auto-Lase script.

Now you can use 3 steps of priority for JTAC lasing by adding [hpriority] and [priority] to the units name in ME.

Script manual

Updated script

For JTAC:

Press <B> to open Binocular View,

Press <C> and enter <1113>, press [sET],

Put cross on target and press <L> for lasing.

For A-10A:

Select A/G mode by pressing <7>

Turn your aircraft to the target direction,

If JTAC Lasing ON you will see small diamond sign on HUD,

Select LGB, press <O> to activate CCRP mode,

Fly to target - bomb will be released automatically.

For Su-25T:

Select A/G mode by pressing <7>

Turn your aircraft to the target direction,

If JTAC Lasing ON you will see small diamond sign on HUD,

Select LGB, press <O> to activate TV,

Lock the dimond sign on HUD and press <Shif+O> to activate laser,

Wait the LA then press <O> to turn off laser,

Press <Alt+W> and release the bomb or missile.

It will fly on JTAC laser spot.

Place JTAC units on the map with the mission editor putting each JTAC in it's own group containing only itself and no other units.

Name the group something easy to remember e.g. JTAC1 and make sure the JTAC units have a unique name which must not be the same as the group name.

But I thought this feature had been removed by ED?

'ello, just saw the update back in june by Morkva, and also would like to know if 1113 works for SU-25T, or if there are any other laser codes that work? thanks!!

EDIT 1: well i set up JTAC correctly because i see the diamond in the HUD, much excite! however when i fire the missile (which auto turns on your own laser) and turn OFF my laser, it never seems to pick up the JTAC's laser, no matter how close it get to it. it just then falls to the ground wherever

EDIT 2: i followed your instructions more closely this time, and it worked! had to make sure i was in LA range, which i wasn't doing. i then turned OFF my own laser, enabled launch override, and fired. my missile picked up on the JTAC laser and hit the target. many thanks

So this is confirmed working in 1.54 U4?

Nice news!

What about the Su-25A? Should work as well if I am in LA range, lineup with JTAC laser.

Should. I'm at work. Can someone confirm that this is still working?

I have problem with JTAC in Red Coalition. Why? Red forces cant do JTAC?

What problem are you having? Of course they can do, are you setting it correctly?
