HR-Crumble Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Hi guys - potential bug since the last update. We have 6 hot started vipers and custom bomb codes set in mission editor which are confirmed correct on the knee board. When they are inputted in the DED and we drop the bombs do not follow the laser they always go a little long. Anything user error here or bug? Thanks!

Frederf Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 You should confirm that the bomb is guiding on the laser at all. Pressing F6 with a bomb in the air will show a distinctive wiggle when the bomb is under guidance. Is the bomb steady with a rapid wiggle or does the nose of the bomb swing a great deal? If no guidance behavior is observed then its performance cannot be evaluated. After guidance is confirmed the performance of that guidance can be investigated. What is the slant range? Last I heard DCS does a funny thing if the LOS to the ground exceeds is more than the maximum laser spot distance. Instead of not having a spot it shows up at the end of the LOS as a laser spot in mid air. Obviously the bomb guidance is going to go bananas if it passes through a laser spot in the sky. If the guidance behavior is consistent throughout the flight of the bomb but it still lands too far then there are some things to try. Try steeper or shallower bomb glide angles. Try from different directions. if the bomb always lands too far east if you attack from north, east, south, west then that is a lateral aiming error. If the bomb always lands long or short then it's some kind of elevation error. For elevation error try different attacks against targets sea level, high altitude, different air pressures, different air altimeter knob settings.

Florence201 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Make sure you’re no further away than 8nm from the tgt. Seems to be a LOS issue greater than that distance. I’ve literally just flown an MP mission and dropped GBU12’s from a cold jet and added the correct codes on kneeboard and TGP/laser [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabisGR Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Make sure your mission weather is set for altimeter 29.92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexCaboose Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Why does that affect the price of fish?? It doesn't. Ignore that as it's wrong. 476th vFG Website, 476th vFG Discord, 476th vFG Pipeline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talonx1 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 The laser is armed and you (have mapped) and are using the first trigger detent to fire the laser while the bomb track to target correct? The L on the pod (lower center) and on the hud should be flashing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HR-Crumble Posted June 20, 2020 Author Share Posted June 20, 2020 It does indeed sir. I'm still doing everything I've been doing for almost a year now. Sent from my IN2013 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talonx1 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Was dropping them last night with no issues, must be something to do with the bomb codes then. The bombs and the laser are set to matching codes correct? Tried using default codes to see if it works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
