Darcwaynard Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 I seem to remember having to set the laser code for each maverick individually. Can you confirm the proper code is displayed under each station on the SMS page?

oldcrusty Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) It works on my rig. I didn't do anything different then before today's update. If you want I can post a short vid clip. As far as the laser code, I only punched it in once, no need for stepping. Edited March 20, 2020 by Gripes323 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldcrusty Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 It's in VR, might want to turn up the brightness or gamma. From your description seems like you're doing everything right. Do you see the "in range" and "MAV LKD" on your HUD after locking the second tgt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason_peters Posted March 21, 2020 Author Share Posted March 21, 2020 Thanks for the vid Yes second Mav in range and the triangle is also over the target, laser is on, think it also says locked Will try again this morning - maybe it’s either the mission or something like switching the laser on and off or moving the tpod via waypoint designation - will track it down :) --------- System: i7-8700k @ 4.9GHz; Nvidia RTX 2080ti; 32GB (2 x 16) DDR4 @ 3333Mz Ram; ASUS ROG Strix z370-E; SSD Drive; Oculus Rift-S; Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. B Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I am also having this issue. Before and after current update. Also seem to get one where the Maverick seeker wont cage, and only searches off-beam. Bit hard to tell if related, but they both seem to happen at the same time. Cycle through Arm/Safe, AG on/off, TPod on/off, no joy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnf Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I have the same problem, I don't know if it was in the previous update or not. attaching Track file changing the laser code solve the problem Edit: I'm using the latest update DCS 2.5.6.45317 Open BetaAGM.trk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason_peters Posted March 21, 2020 Author Share Posted March 21, 2020 I think its if you turn the laser off between firing the mavs Gripes323 can you try firing mav 1...… turn the laser off (trigger button) then get a new target, trigger laser back on and see if it works for you I just tried my mission leving the laser firing and I was able to fire both mavs --------- System: i7-8700k @ 4.9GHz; Nvidia RTX 2080ti; 32GB (2 x 16) DDR4 @ 3333Mz Ram; ASUS ROG Strix z370-E; SSD Drive; Oculus Rift-S; Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twells555 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 I'll try it too....since I butted in on this thread and had the same issue..... :) If it is a bug, the solution will be simple enough...leave the laser always on and wrap the tpod with a few dozen ice packs!!!

When I press the trigger on my Warthog the laser is on. I don't need to hold it. If I do, it works fine too but on the next press it turns it off. To be honest I need to verify this in the current version. So, basically once I press it stays on and starts lasing as soon as I lock the next target. It's basically auto-lase... until it overheats, j/k:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airbusjoerg Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 (edited) I can confirm the problem. I never turned off the laser in between and it still didnt work. The second Maverick just never locked! My new method so far has been to turn off the laser, reset the pod camera, re-select the next Maverick in the SMS page and start the whole process all over again. In the end, I have to make a new approach to the target because it all takes too long. Pretty cumbersome. There's no way it works the way it was shown in some demo videos, so just select a new target while leaving and continue with the next maverick after turning back in. However, the error is not clearly reproducible, because sometimes you have to fiddle a bit more or a bit less until it works again. Apart from that: technically, it shouldn't matter what you do in which order, isnt it? All that matters should be that in the end the maverick is uncaged, searching and the pod marks the target correctly (ok, the code must match, of course). Right?

I would think so... well, of course range limits and Mav's gimbal limits apply too. I've tested number of different approaches and scenarios (most of them pretty unrealistic:smilewink:) and so far I wasn't able to reproduce any of these issues. I don't know if it matters but all my tests were done in missions created with the latest build of OB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twells555 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Same here. Left the laser on continually but after the first maverick launch, the second would not lock...

Airbusjoerg Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 One more important addition: I use the latest Beta. Does the problem possibly only occur in the beta version? Best regards Jörg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team NineLine Posted March 24, 2020 ED Team Share Posted March 24, 2020 I tried both in our dev version as well as Open Beta. Also made sure that I was turning the laser off in-between, but also tried it with the laser on the whole time, I didn't seem to be able to reproduce the issue.

ED Team NineLine Posted March 24, 2020 ED Team Share Posted March 24, 2020 OK, so I looked at the track, and just for clarity, when you were changing the laser codes, you never uncaged the Maverick, if I take control of the track I can uncage and it tracks fine. After you finally fire a laser Mav, I don't see you try and lock up the second one again.
