Laser Maverick not going into OPER, but stays in STBY
-
@Bertuz May be the bug is happening in the moment you uncage.
Do not uncage and let see if works good in your side
-
@huffer2 Yes that’s the way. Seems surprisingly error-prone… would be nice to have auto-laze timer.
Apparently laser-mavs are a newer weapon kludged onto older F-16 avionics.
-
@airtex2019
Yes I agree. Maybe that can be corrected in a future update. -
@huffer2 to be clear, I wasn’t suggesting it’s a BMS bug or “kludge”… I suspect it’s this way in real life.
judging from comments in other threads, it sounds like newer platforms like Super Hornet have better avionics to support this weapon.
-
@airtex2019 That is very interesting. I have no problem holding down the trigger till impact, especially if that is what RL viper drivers do. I checked the BMS docs, even the Dash-34, and could not get a answer.
-
@huffer2 The BMS-Training.pdf definitely suggests to set the laser-time to 40 seconds.
But then below on the following page, explains that you have to keep lazing from launch to impact.

@airtex2019
Setting the Laser ST time to 40 sec, to me it sounds like the Autolas feature would kick-in when the time to impact would reach 40sec. Using LGBs the autolas works that way. That is what I was trying to understand with the Mav-Ls. -
@airtex2019 BTW, I have read that training section many times.

@Bertuz said in Laser Maverick not going into OPER, but stays in STBY:
Hi guys,
I’m probably doing something wrong, but reading through the Dash43, Training Mission and this forum I can’t figure out what.
No you aren’t, you found a bug
I have an F-16 loaded with two AGM-65L (laser ones). I’ve powered them up and wait for several minutes.
AGM-65L take only 10s to go through BIT test, and then they’re ready.
I have uncaged them, showing an S in the right WPN MFD.
It does not say OPER but STBY instead. There is no “Not timed out” message.
That was wrong and is fixed in a next release
I trigger my laser with first detent. Now a block will appear but stays in the middle of the screen. Even when maneuvering, it stays exact in the middle. I’ve seen videos where this laser marker is moving on the screen.
Bug nr 2, also fixed in a next release
Fortunately when I fire the maverick it will track and hit, but it feels there is a small bug for not going into OPER and a moving laser spot indicator.
Well spotted, thanks
