using buddy illumination weapons

[gilmaor]

Hi All.

I just played "lucid angle" scn

everythings was great TLAM strike on runways to start with.

Achived air superiority with almost no loses.

Than I moved to the second phase - attacking radars.

Did not have much success with first wave of HARM's attacks
Then moved to harrier laser guided mavricks. and that went just bad.

for each target I assigned two planes - one will illumante and the other will fire.
but the targets were not illuminated.

how do I use buddy illumination weapons??

Thanks

I took a quick look and see two issues:
- the main one being that there doesn't appear to be any plane present that can actually lase the target. I dont know if there has been a database change since this scenario was first released but the Harriers aren't able to guide in a laser maverick.
- in the scenario editor I added in an F-16 with targeting pod. It still didn't work. Then I realized there were low level clouds between 5-7k feet. This is currently still a closed beta feature I believe but should be in the next available build. Anyway, that also did not allow a shot until I dropped the F-16 below the weather (4 thousand feet or so) and then it went fine.

I'll bump the original Lucid Angel thread in the scenarios forum for the author to take a look.
