Onboard laser nose

[DerAlte]

I have looked in the KB, and have not really found my answer. The Mig-27/23BN and the Harrier GR.3 have a laser nose, but I don't see anything in the avionics file. I think I read some were that these planes can launch LGB without a external pod. I would like to know how to add this line to the .ini file so I could use LGB's without using a external pod.

 

Anyone know how?

The Laser Designator must be added to the aircraft_data. The avionics file has nothing to do with it.

 

Open the aircraft_data and add this:

SystemName[010]=LASERDESIGNATOR

I think these plane have a laser range-finder, which is only used for determining the distance between the airplane and the ground. I don't know where this has any use in the game, but i think it affects the accuracy of the CCIP (Constantly Computed Impact Point).

 

Using it for illuminating ground targets for LGB since its in a fixed position in the nose doesnt sound very practical to me.

The later MiG-27's (Mig-27KR) has one in the nose. I think the tactics are for the one from the flight mark the target and another to attack, then switch around. On the GR.3, I think I have to research a little more.

 

BTW, thanks Gocad for the prompt answer.
