Ramstein Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 cannot get Mavericks with the Harrier to work any longer. Have ran this module for a couple of years, but lately, cannot fire mavericks, and have uninstalled and re-installed the module hoping it will fix whatever got corrupted. I also installed a new Warthog HOTAS, but it was working good up until a couple months ago, not sure when these issues started, but this year? I searched the forums and looked at other issues and fixes. Doing another re-install, hopefully, it was just corruption from what I don't know, I really don't think I have any mods, and I have been flying DCS beta for a couple of years. :huh: ASUS Strix Z790-H, i9-13900, WartHog HOTAS and MFG Crosswind G.Skill 64 GB Ram, 2TB SSD EVGA Nvidia RTX 2080-TI 55" Sony OLED TV, Oculus VR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marsvinet Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 Please describe how it does not work. There are a few things that are funky with the Mavericks, but it can also be simple user error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mars Exulte Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 I like all the details you didn't provide. What Mavericks and what conditions and exactly isn't working? They were working fine last night, if you want help you need to provide some thing more useful than 'they don't work'. They work fine. IR mavs and laser work very differently. And IR don't work as well in the day. And ''reinstall' is almost never the solution to anything, for future reference.

Victor3 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 I used both Laser and IR Mav's last night without issue.

Ramstein Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 ok, so far the bombs work ok,,, I think the mavericks either have the issues or are fixed, not sure... I think the mavericks were easier in the past, or something went bad in my setup..

LastRifleRound Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 the mavericks were not working, not even in the training missions. They would not fire.:joystick: Post a track and we can help you. I can confirm Mavericks work fine in the latest OB and no other users have reported an issue of them just not leaving the rail.

Gerrard Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Just tested and Mavs are working well for me. I sometimes I have to re-select weapon station to get the IRs to uncage but this also happened before latest patch. I have weapon stations mapped to keyboard so for example, IR stations are mapped to key 5 and Lasers to key 6, that seems to reset the missile if it doesn't uncage first time. Otherwise, the obvious one is to make sure IRs are warmed up and you have the RDY symbol, or that you are in AG mode, or that your key bindings are mapped properly. Good luck!

LotusDragon Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Once I had the problem with the IR Mavericks that they would not get ready. Even after 5 min they were still not warmed up. But another time everything went fine. Maybe its a warming up problem since the latest update. But I really have a problem with the laserguided Mavericks. I set the Lasercod to 1688, designate a target with the TPOD and uncage the Maverick. But they dont lock on the laser and I can not launch them.

Mars Exulte Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 the mavericks were not working, not even in the training missions. They would not fire.:joystick: Again you're providing relatively little detail. The Mavericks are fine, so either the mission is broken or you're doing it wrong. Try a different mission. If works, then don't use that mission. If still not working, then it's you. 1. A2G HUD mode on 2. Master Arm On Laser Mavs : TPOD to standby, takes several minutes, must be in air Laser code set, done on DMT page, must be done in air Laser armed, laser mode selected (there are multiple modes) Fire laser Uncage Maverick, you will see the seeker moving around, it should lock if the target is in it's FoV Fire at will Clouds, smoke, trees, etc will block the laser. LoS and laser active must be maintained until impact. Des can be slewed at will until impact. IR Mavs: Ready IR Mav by selecting in store page. They will not launch until STBY switches to RDY (lower left corner) Select DMT TV mode (sensor select aft) Slew to target Uncage Mav (should have video on both MFDs) Select maverick seeker (sensor select forward) Slew over target until lock (crosshairs close on target) Fire at will. IR mavs don't work as well in daylight or if sun is setting behind the target. They are FAF weapons, multiple may be rippled in one pass. Both weapons work FINE. Either the missions broke or you're not doing the above. 99% chance you're forgetting to select the Mav seeker. The DMT is NOT used for targeting, it ONLY acts as an aide to point the seeker in the right direction, you MUST select the seeker separately and acquire the target lock with IT. AGAIN, it's hard to help you because you aren't giving any useful information besides ''it doesn't work''. YES, IT DOES.

Nightmare22 Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Also agree there are no known issues. I was on several servers last night and fired dozens of IR and Laser Mavs without any problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harlikwin Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Yeah, last I flew it worked fine. I have seen various weird graphics bugs over the last few months with the tpod/laser though.

Ramstein Posted February 26, 2020 Author Share Posted February 26, 2020 I am going to try my non Beta install, but i have to install some modules that are not installed, as I have no flown my non-beta install in ages. As soon as it updates, I will try that version.

joey45 Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 What Mavs are you using?? The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Britchot Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 Very great detail provided by zhukov032186, just follow his steps. The only thing I haven't seen in this thread of exceptionally helpful people in response to a vague post about issues is to check your keymapping. Even if you haven't changed anything, please check to ensure all the commands detailed above, are working in the options>keybinding.

Ramstein Posted February 29, 2020 Author Share Posted February 29, 2020 I apologize for not responding with more info.. very bad week. Death in Family, had large trees being cut, one tree missed the landing spot. The only good news is I got my Harrier mavericks working. I had to work on the profile for my joystick. I never had to work on a profile as much as this one with the new Warthog stick. Thank you for the feedback, as the forum feedback let me know that it was issues on my end that stopped them from working.

Captain Orso Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 (edited) It depends on the situation, plus you have to look at the weapons you have available. If my targets are literally sleeping armor, with absolutely no air defence capabilities, GBU's are a better choice, because you can carry 12 of them, as opposed to 4 IRMV's. You fly overhead at 15-20k, paint (laser) one target after another and send each a little Easter present; and even if the target moves, the TPOD will track it. But if they're going to reciprocate with some SAM's GBU's are out of the question. With an IRMV you can setup yourtarget at 10-15k alt. and 15 nm and slide in carefully while playing the TPOD-paparazzi game. At about 7 nm you can launch and if no one has raised a fuss, turn away and return to the 15 nm mark to turn around and pick off the next target; the IRMV, once it's on-target is a sure hit, about 95% of the time, even if the target starts to move. If the enemy gets frisky, fire your missle and turn off 90° and head for the deck, where you turn off another 45° and sneak back out, while blowing chaff out your ass, to climb up to 10-15k again, rinse and repeat. Also, with heavy cloud cover, you can forget GBU's completely. Edited March 3, 2020 by Captain Orso When you hit the wrong button on take-off System Specs.
