Losing lock with the LMAV

I am trying to figure out how to fire multiple LMAV's in a single pass. I had assumed that when the LMAV locked on to a target that was lased by a JTAC, that you could turn your jet away but still keep the lock. Such does not appear to be the case. When I turn the jet the lock is lost.

So is it possible to fire at multiple targets in one pass with the LMAVs????

Are you matching laser code to the JTAC laser? Could you post a track?

1. AGM-65E does not have 360 degree seeker.

2. You need to ask JTAC agian as it lase only one target a time.

3. Wait for IRMAVs or TGT Pod.

Yes, if you have multiple laser sources with different laser codes, which is not the case in your case.

ok. thanks to all. My question is answered. The answer is NO for now.

yup, you can fire multiple lmavs at a single target - jtac will lase til target is destroyed - tried that on the weekend because there was a cloud in the flightpath of lmav no. 1 :doh:. But you need to uncage the seekerhead of the second mav and let that one lock on to the lased target as well before you pickle

"you can fire multiple lmavs at a single target" Perhaps I was not clear. I want to fire multiple mavs at multiple targets in one pass like we can do in other jets.

Why would you do that... :music_whistling:

The answer is yes, but you need multiple laser sources with different laser codes to do that. But this is already possible.

So if you only have one JTAC with one laser, the answer would be no.

Use the CTLD script for MIST.

You can set Auto lase and put in (2) different JTACS's. I had 2 on a Map with 1688, and 1670. was able to ripple off 2 mavs to 2 different targets on one pass.

death star trench run style mission with 2 technicals at the end.

I tried to do (4) but could only get 3 laser codes into memory on the LMAV screen also had trouble getting the 3rd mav to lock. (Could of been user issue) when I had 3 different codes.

Yes its possible. Be sure to use the hpriority trick on CTLD if you use it so you can lase who you want.

Mist and CTLD may be the answer, but not for me at this time. I think Mist and CTLD are beyond my skill set. If your miz can be posted for my use, please do so.

Thanks for your response.

Im at work now (lol).

but I will make a quick mission with CTLD and 2 different laser codes this evening.

I will post it up with no mods so it can be ran with standard 2.5.

I use the Beta so you will need to be on that for the MIZ to work.

Drippy.

thanks for do this. I appreciate it as I tried several different methods to do it with no success. I guess I was to used to BMS.

You can fire multiple Laser mavericks at different targets in other games Form one aircraft with one laser source?

From the A1-AV8BB-TAC-000, page 2-163, paragraph 2.15.1.1

The missile requires continuous

laser designation of the target from missile

seeker acquisition until weapon impact.

Go to 104th server when SandStorm mission on rotation. They have 4 JTACs activated with different code from 1681 to 1684 and all you have to do is set the laser code for each missile to match the JTAC code. There you go, one pass haul ass

One pass and haul ass is good for our health. :)

I saw a YouTube video of an spanish guy, wich Jtac automaticaly pointed the laser to another target when the first was destroyed. So he launched 2 mavs with 2 miles of difference and hitted 2 targets.The link:

Downloaded a f18 jtac mission from ED and i fired all 4 Mav E in one pass with the same laser code about 3 seconds apart, there was 4 targets and after each one was destroyed JTAC called "SWITCH" and lased the next target automatically and all 4 targets were killed.

Here is a quick mission with (2) different laser codes.

1688 and 1670.

I believe when you open the mission the scripts are included. They are in the Miz file.

I have never uploaded any MIZ's before.

There are 2 separate JTACS both lasing 2 BTR's.

You can allways open the miz in the editor and see how the script was done.

Just made and checked this mission. I did 2 run ins with 2 mavs each time.

You start out about 20miles from the TGT. you need to enter the codes for all FOUR AGM's IE: 2 @ 1688 and 2 @ 1670. you might wanna make sure to get the codes set up so you have 2ea of the codes on each wing so when you fire 2 its still symmetrical.

Scripts are NOT MINE. they are the Mist Script and the CTLD script.

Doesn't the JTAC "Shift" comm tell the jtac to move the laser to the next target once the first one has been destroyed? If you fired your mav's approximately 10secs apart the second missile would have time to change course to the new target (if it was close enough)

ok, here my question, i still hvae MAV indication crossed on ddi also if missile is uncaged and i assigned laser code and 30 sec warm up elapsed......

Drippy

On the second attempt, I got all 4 targets on the X. However, I do have a question. I fired all 4 missiles about 2 seconds apart. How come I did not have to wait for the first target to be destroyed on code 1688 before I could lock up the other code 1688 target? The same for code 1670. I wonder if the JTAC automatically shifted targets after the first one was destroyed.

PS I never located the surprise bogey.

"Downloaded a f18 jtac mission from ED and i fired all 4 Mav E in one pass with the same laser code about 3 seconds apart, there was 4 targets and after each one was destroyed JTAC called "SWITCH" and lased the next target automatically and all 4 targets were killed."

spike I could not get the JTAC to call switch by itself. which mission did you download?
