AGM-65L Unable to slew to set laser code in WPN page
Version: 4.6 U3
When I’ve tried to set the laser code in the weapon page, of the many times I’ve tried it’s only worked twice. There is supposed to be a small “x” in the center of the WPN page and when it shows up, I can slew and change the code. Most of the time I end up with a large “X” in the center and I can’t slew.
I have powered up the mavericks, waited for the bit test and for it to time out, changed to “Bore” and I still can’t get it to work. I can’t think of anything I did differently the times it did work.
Master Arm is on, Laser Arm is on. Any thoughts?

@piston to change code:
- select BORE
- TMS up
- Slew to L
- TMS up again to unlock
- TMS left to toggle polarity and thereby moving cursor/change code
- TMS up again to lock
Any complaints about the ergonomics of all this should be sent to RMD

Master Arm should be OFF, for one. The large X is the seeker position, and it should be stationary in the center - i.e.; LMAV Caged.
I seriously don’t get slewing around the MAV display to set the laser code…I should think that would be an option on the DED and that you would just hammer it in from the ICP. Really doesn’t make sense to me…

I can see how this makes sense, but it’s not how it is set up. What I’m trying to figure out is how to reliably change the code.

@piston - yes, I know the model is young and flawed…I hope it matures.

@Tumbler31 Thank you, I was missing the first TMS up. This solved it for me.
