[REPORTED] GBU 24s won't track the laser

It appears that the GBU-24 isn't tracking the laser at all, while every other GBU can track it just fine.

 

 

In my attached track file you can see me dropping a GBU-24 and a second later a GBU-12, the 12 tracks the laser, while the 24 just behaves like a dumb bomb.

[DCS BUG] GBU 24s won't track the laser

 

I made the same test against a plane shelter with all the GBUs useable by the F-14 B : -10, -12, -16 and -24. Among all those, the first three work flawlessly. Only the -24 has the problem. Even if I fire the laser quite soon, the GBU-24 doesn't track it and falls quite long. I run the OB 2.5.4.29167. Here's a track.

Yes, the GBU-24 (Paveway III) guidence is not implemented. Like, why does ED even offer the weapon itself if it's not modelled correctly?

 

Pre Hornet it worked like a standard Paveway II. (I think).

 

Eventually it will get a proper treatment so that it models more realistic Paveway III guidance at some point. Basically it's just a placeholder for now.

Entire DCS is a placeholder right now lol.

I guess we "might" see it once once it's done for the Hornet since it's on the feature list for it.

Indeed, the GBU-24 is not functioning properly throughout DCS, regardless of the aircraft it is being used with. It's the first Paveway III series LGB in DCS and ED has not yet implemented their guidance properly.

DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

Hi all

 

I have moved this to the general section as it is a problem with the GBU-24 and not the tom cat.

 

It is reported, but I do no thave a timeline for a fix at the moment.

 

Thanks

For those of you who are having this issue - when are you turning on the laser? The GBU-24, unlike the other LGBs, require continuous lase from release to impact in order to work correctly since it doesn't use bang bang guidance. I have not tried it yet in DCS, so not sure how it's being modeled.
