Ah-94. Unable to mark laser targets

[Geordie]

I've tried and tried to mark a target for laser guided bombs but nothing sends to work. YouTube tutorials don't seem to explain clearly enough and I can't seem to get any further forward.. I'm at my wits end now. Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙏.

Is the laser code the same on the bomb and TGP?
Are you marking the targets?

Also, are you sure those are laser bombs and not GPS ones?

[Geordie]

Yeah, definitely laser guided bombs. I've tried locking targets using the head tds but nothing seems to work. On the plus side I can throw the ah94 around like a littlebird now, I just cant mark a target to use laser guided missiles for some reason. GPS guided are fine btw.

Okie, cool, but is the laser code the same? And are you actually hitting the MARK button on the TGP?

[Geordie]

I'm not sure what you mean by laser code tbh. Which button is the mark button? I've tried everything but still no further forward

Mark button should be the one that says 'MARK" on the TADS.

I'd reccomend looking up the laser codes - bit too long to put a tutorial on the forum

I've activated Mark on the tds yes and I'll give the codes thing a try. Thanks for taking the time to help, kudos to you!

Best of luck!

Turns out I'd pressed every button available other than the thumb click on the combat collective..

If your using the TGP in head track mode it wont lock up targets like that, you have to slew the TGP crosshair over a target with the joystick until the TGP says 'FOE' in the top left. You can use head track mode to get close to your target then switch off head track mode and slew the crosshair to your target. Once it snaps to the target and says 'FOE' you're good to deploy any laser guided munition. Also the 'mark' button on TGP is just a cosmetic ir laser to let you allies know what you're laser designating at night, it isn't needed to acquire a laser lock.
