GBU12 + JTAC

And you are sure that you have the right Laser code set?.

 

So the Bombs and the Jtac use the same laser code.

It is most probably the reason why it doesn't work. Another reason might be the kind of JTAC used to lase the target, I don't have DCS to check the name, I tried a HUMMVEE and an Infantery and both failed to guide my bomb.

More suspicious, I can't prevent them from attacking the target eventhough I defined the rule of engagement to not engage.

Once again, if it works for someone else it means I'm doing something wrong with the mission editor (I'm not very good with the mission editor :cry:).

By the way, I use the caucasus map, not the NTTR, that might be a reason since the state of update is different according the version of DCS used.

This is how i create a basic JTAC mission with the F-5E

1. Create CAS mission With desired aircraft.

2. Put Hummvee TOW only down in enemy territory.

Then do the following.

Put targets down nearby Hummvee TOW. For noobs put down somewhere near an airfield or location that you can roughly see it.

Then selecting advance waypoints for Hummvee TOW as follows in order.

1. EPLRS on.

2. Go invisible.

3. ROE = Weapon hold. Even though it is invisible and wont get shot. It seems to need this to fire laser.

4. FAC and assign group, Weapon as Auto then for guided bombs use laser designation. Then

5. Click on your aircraft and make sure Radio frequency in aircraft is set same as the FAC ie 133 AM or 131 AM. Set it in advanced waypoints section.

6. Make sure Target is defined as new group 001 not new group 002 etc. (Important as re editing mission can change group numbers later edits).

Dont know if it works for the M2000C but give it a shot.

Last 2 JTAC calls will be to Confirm IP inbound THEN you confirm THEN laser on by confirming that.

Finally make sure bombs armed and ready then you're good to shallow dive and release.

Whith m2000 the jtac never respond at radio....which frequency do you use?

Using easy communications the JTAC always respond.. the problem is not that,

the problem is that following the suggestions AND

the instructions of CHUCK TO THE LETTER, the gbu - 12's

with the Mirage almost never hit the target.

With the F-5 I do exactly the same, and I always hit, no problem at all!

Hi all,

I have found the problem....

One has to set the marker BEFORE the target, abour 500 meters or so,

and then, even under 6000 Ft. the GBU's hit most of the time.

There 's a new buttons, in hotas section : MagicSlave/AG designation

With what do you think I set the marker?

Your finger ?

Your finger ?

Yes, on the button I have designated on my joystick as "MagicSlave/AG designation":music_whistling:

You have to drop before the target so the bomb has time to get the proper angle to see the laser.

Which frequency and units do you use for jtac?

Can you explain the list of advanced point options becouse the jtac never answer to any frequences i use....

I can't get this to work on the Mirage, and with other modules it works flawlessly. I know how to set up a JTAC been doing that forever to try bombing, but just in case, i tried following Chuck's to the letter, which is actually the same and my GBU-12s land where i put my marker (marked with the AG designation) and never "lock" on the JTAC laser which is on. I am aware that it might have some delay, etc etc but i don't manage to get it bombed. Not even putting it a bit before the target as this thread suggests. This is on 1.5.4.

It works perfectly in 2.0.3... as described Included my miz. file.

Ok, i don't have 2.0, so can't try. But good to know.

Easyer way to configure a mission is using the auto lase from ctld.

I struggled with this in the beginning following Chuck's tutorials and other steps, which were all pretty much in line. JTAC would always come back with "no mark" for lasing. I then realized that JTAC had to be at a higher elevation and clear line of sight. After I figured that out everything fell in place and bombs fell on target. :)

For JTAC advance option

1. take sign "Moonbeam"

2. Set frequences to XXX Mhz

3. FAC with the same frequence below

They're 3 mode : 1,2 and 3, the jtac can lase only to mode 1 and 2. if the jtac is too near can set up invisible

does anyone know the maximum range for JTAC lasing ?

I seen the advance waypoint setting as 5 miles. If it's outside of that the text becomes orange and it won't let you specify the group to lase.

GBU12 + JTAC

Lasing is a little tricky

I put the JTAC almost right next to the target and make sure it's immortal and invisible

Quick note unarmed Humvees will not laser designate. I use a Humvee from the Armor category and I have no problems lasing the target

Going to try this weekend if my JTAC can lase 3-5 Km out to make it a little more realistic

Still trying to figure out how to launch more than one GBU but I'll keep studying the manual and Chuck's guide

Happy flying

Hi ruddy122

Here is how to launch more than one GBU:

I have tried and it works, but one has to be concentrated and quick!

Hello

A question, how can I throw in the Mirage 2000C several GBU-12 simultaneously? Have it tried in the Open Alpha and 4 bombs selected at the same time, but it is always only a bomb?:helpsmilie:

You can't, and you should not do it. Why would you want to do it ?

For this very same reason, (one pass).

you can't do this with GBU-12s unless you have four different JTACs or TGP's set to different laser codes and same with bombs
