GBUs not showing up on PCA. Can't use them.

GBUs wont' show up on the PCA panel, can't designate correctly or release them.

What am I doing wrong? Is this a bug. I remember it working.

You can click on them (the button is blank), and the symbol will show up on the HUD, but they are not firing.

Do you have anything else under your wings ?

What GBU is it ?

GBU 12.

Under the wings are 2 Fox1s and 2 Heaters.

That might be the problem, the plane can only have one type of weapon in addition to the magics and the gun.

Try with only GBU-12s and magic missiles.

so yes if you carry two types of bomb it wont show, however if you click where they would be on the pca you can use them and they work as intended

IRL the PCA would show an error and prevent you from using any weapons, so use it now but it might not work in the future.

Yes I figured it was Fox1s that were in the way, but as of right now I can't CCRP anything. I simply can not put diamond on targets anymore. It defaults to a way point in mission editor if you have one.

This used to work, and now it does not.

Are you using the weapon system CMD FWD to switch to AG mode ?

Yes. I tried every combination. I fly 8 hours a day in this buggiest simulator in the history of human kind, and I can't even drop a Mk82 in CCRP mode. Something every noob can do 1 hour after they bought a module in DCS.

In mission editor if I setup a waypoint, the "cross" shows at the waypoint only. If I have no waypoint at all, I will never see a cross. You can not designate a target anymore. I used to do it all the time. Can't fire Mk82 CCRP or GBUs.

I noticed the Magic on the Weapons Selector can be selected now. They removed that as in the real Mirage it's on the stick. Now I found a way to click it and make it work on the Weapons Selector.

Here is the pic:

Same problem exists in F16 now. Can't move the box on the hud without a waypoint. They reintroduced the bug again.

Indeed you won't see a cross anymore when designating a target in CCRP as it's a Mirage 2000D feature, so has been removed from 2000C. Cross only appear in 2000C to show a Waypoint when you're within 10NM of the waypoint.

Doesn't mean you can't designate a target anymore, as when pressing AG designate you will still get the wings on each side of the diamond and get the solution cue on the HUD for CCRP release.

Magic Weapon is selected with CNM magic on the throttle, click on MAG on PCA will only activated magic seeker as IRST (will display MAV on PCA when selected), but won't select Magic Weapon. User guide has been updated to cover that MAV search new functionality

Most of your issues seem to be related to not being up to date with latest updates. i won't blame you as information is quite spread.

Which user guide is accurate now?

No. Most of my issues if not all is me following the guide and fighting ED errors. According to the latest documentation:

"Target will be marked with a cross as you designate it in order to bomb

somewhat close to the actual target. The bomb itself will then track the laser spot lased

the JTAC independently to your aircraft."

The cross is even shown on the pictures, but it's been removed. I flown with the cross before, so when I did not see it this time, I simply assumed I can't designate. I did not try to wait for the release moment and I kept trying to designate. Now I got it to work, but if it was not for this forum I would not know.

The entire ED is broken. I don't know how, I don't know why, but it's broken. Don't get me started with Weapons Control panel in M2000, it's undocumented features, and what I can "select" there.

Please calm down.

Yes, core DCS World is constantly evolving. So do the modules.

@aw33com

I did not have time to update the GBU section yet. This is on my to-do list. I've got 5000+ pages to maintain... you'll have to forgive me if I am not slaving away hard enough for you.
