So Ive been playing around with these Mavricks for a while now and I cant get them to hit the target. I have read through all the info, including both of Eriks guided weapons pdfs. I think I cant lock on because when I press 'E' nothing happens. And when I look for 'E' in the keyboard mapper theres nothing. What there is, is Next visual ground target Joystick button 2 Previous visual ground target Shift E Closest visual ground target. Ctrl E So is 'Ctrl E' locking onto the target the same as the tutorials say use 'E' or am I missing something. If Ctrl E is locking onto target I have no idea why my Mavs are hitting. Thanks Not Mavs! Paveways, sorry

And I just need to figure out how to effectively use the paveway LGBs cause I still cant hit the target.

Oh its working now, I dont know how but its working. Yay! : ) Only now I dont have the A120 AMRAAM, now Ive only got the lowly sparrows available. ? Hahaha

Ok I get it, Ive calmed down now. Hahaha I dont know if you saw, but I download the F16C Blk 30 TuAF and that has the designator and it works. However, it slows my prehistoric laptop down. And its Turk : ( So now Im trying to sus out how to put only the LD onto my F16C blk40, which now shows up in on the aircraft in game now but doesnt have a display screen and doesnt do anything I know of. With the ini mod, I copied and pasted it in the aircraft data ini with the systemnameXXX in numerical order. Then I put the rest after the centerlineply after feultankname. I dont know if I put that in the right place. And I dont see how that would work without doing something somewhere else. Cheers

1000 Apologies. I downloaded the turk blk30 and it has the lantirn so Im going to have a go with that : ) Just off topic a tad, whats the 'E' key for or Shift E its used for targeting some land based targets, but I cant find the designation in preferences. I might try and get this pod to work with the blk 40.

Whoosaa.... I have spent hours reading through all these threads and I have tried adding txt into the aircraft ini folders. And I cant get a laser pod on this F16. I researched how they use their pods and I found that the block 30 use the Litening targeting pod and the block 40 uses Lantirn. So can you please tell me now how to add it to my aircraft because I still have no idea how to do it. Thanks

I got this far before I got lost. I know where to put SystemName[xxx]=LaserDesignator, but where do I put all the rest. By the way this is for an F16C BLK40 Thanks Craig, Sure, it's just an ini edit. You can make one on any aircraft. Just add this in the [Fuselage] or anywhere you want: SystemName[xxx]=LaserDesignator Then (as an example) put this in: [LASERDESIGNATOR] SystemType=LASER_DESIGNATOR CameraFOV=2.500000 CameraPosition=0.000000,9.500000,-0.650000 CameraYaw=0.000000 CameraPitch=0.000000 CameraRoll=0.000000 PaveTackNarrow.tga EODisplayFlags=268501249 SeekerRange=27.000000 SeekerGimbleLimit=120.000000 SearchTexture=PaveTackNarrow.tga SightTexture=avq23sight1.tga That's it...pretty much works like a charm.

I am trying to figure this out, and I've been told by Erik and co to get my hands dirty. Well guys heres proof that Im getting my hands dirty! hahaha But this thread isnt telling me how do get the LGBs to work on my F16C BLK40. I dont get why they cant just give us the link that explains how to do it! Frustrating.

So I got that F16 C going, works well. But still no LGBs, so still trying to figure it out. I've definitely learnt alot though. So thanks

The readme file says to replace TER_CBU in weapondata. But I cant find it. Is it in the weapondata.ini file. Thanks

Ok cool, I noticed there are no hard copys? Download only.

Ok so I thought I'd try and download SF2 but I cant find it in the downloads section. Does it still use the WOE game CD that I bought from the shop, as like a host. Although I only have XP I have 2GB of RAM so I thought I'd give it a go. If it doesnt work I can always go back to SF1. Also, are the graphics better in SF2. Thanks

Ok thanks alot : )

Thanks for that, but I cant understand all that. Im not that good at this sort of thing. Thats why I started these threads to try and get step by step instructions. Obviously you guys are all over it so I'll just have to try and figure it out by myself. Thanks anyway, Glenn

I know I need a laser pod, but I dont know how to do it. Can you please put the link up that explains how to do this. And something that explains the targeting display. Thanks

Hi all, On my F 16 BLK30 I have Paveway IIs available but I dont have the laser designator pod so I cant use the weapons. I have looked through the threads but have been unsuccessful. Also are there any other guided weapons I can use for ground targets. I appreciate everything the experts have done to get me this far, thanks to you I now know what Im doing with adding weapons. Thanks again, Glenn

Just played with the radar on and yes its good, I still dont know how to get the target in the middle, but it comes up with a yellow diamond on the screen so I just use that. Can you use radar to hit ground targets as well. Thanks

Ok thanks, theres some good info there. Although not for the F 16 I can get the gist of it, thanks. I will play around with this for a while, but how do I get the LGBs to work, I think I need the laser designator pod? Thanks again : )

Hi thanks yes the F 16c blk 30. Could you please be a bit more specific. I tried turning the radar on but the targets dont show up on the radar. Also do you know how I can make a laser designator pod available. Thanks

Actually I just found out I cant fire the smart weapons like the paveway II lgb and the Aim 120a amraam. Do you need to lock on or something if so how. Cheers

Oh ok, I tried using the F16 blk 30 and theres lots more available. Thanks for all your help!

Those are the ones I wanted to use. How do I enable them, or just any guided weapon. Thanks

Ok thanks for all that! However I found that the Paveways have got (dumb) writen next to them?

Success! The key word was SAVE! haha thanks alot for that! Still not all the weapons, but definitely more. Is there a way to get all the weapons. Thanks

What next
