hello,
this is my first post, I hope this is the best thread for it.
I mostly play infantry in Arma 3, but occasionally I like to fly the A-10 and A 100. I master fairly well all the weapons, but the bombs are a mystery to me.
My problem is that once the target has been painted with laser I do not detect it. Same thing with IR grenades.. It happened when playing multiplayer, so I started some training mission in the editor, but I still cannot see in my HUD. I deploy an empty/enemy vehicle, then I paint it with a remote designator (without the ‘autonomous option on)/darter or I throw IR grenades. I then take off and I fly from different angles and altitudes (making sure that I’m coming from the right side of the vehicle= where the laser is visible), but nothing shows in my HUD. I tried to push all sorts of buttons: next target, lock, reveal target etc, but nothing. I know these are valid targets because autonomous drones (Yabhon) detects the target and drops the bomb.
In my understanding the target painted with the laser should appear automatically in my HUD without pushing any button (green square+name item in red). Then it’s just a matter of aligning the plane, wait for the “diamond†to appear and then drop the bomb. I have seen countless tutorials teaching you how to align with the bomb target (speed altitude etc), but nothing that would help me with my problem.
I fear I’m doing wrong something very basic , but no idea what this is.
Any suggestion would be hugely appreciated
Thanks
P.S. I also tried with and without modes just in case…no result.
