VBS3Fires v3.6.3 User Guide

28.3.1.4

28.3.1.5 There is a delay when AI is responding to a call-for-fire

1. The artificial intelligence controlling the Battery will insert delays to simulate Battery

operations when responding to a call-for-fire. You can customise these timings in the

‘Mission’ file. Open this file in the VBS3 editor, click on the appropriate Fires Battery object,

and enter desired timings.

28.4 Laser designation

28.4.1.1 When I laser designate a target and send the information, VBS3Fires does

not respond

2. Before designating a target, you must first ensure that the Battery is waiting for a laser

targeting transmission. You do this by sending the laser polar command through VBS3Fires.

3. If you have done this, ensure that the laser designator is turned on by clicking the left mouse

button. You should see a diamond appear in the sights.

4. If no diamond appears on the left mouse click, it is possible that your laser designator has no

batteries. Check the top left hand corner of the VBS3 screen. If it is red with a 0 in the

ammunition area, you will need to obtain a battery for the designator. This can be done

from the real time editor, the mission editor, or by scavenging the battery inside the VBS3

scenario.
