GBU-12 Procedures Documentation

Belsimtek Devs or F-5E Users,

I have searched through the F-5 docs folder and searched for GBU-12 procedures and read the JTAC GBU-12 delivery example.

Can an A-10C buddy laze for my GBU-12 drop in multiplayer?

Where can I find documentation for the laser codes fields in the mission editor settings for the F-5? I see three data entries for laser codes listed, but see no reference to these data fields in the F-5 documentation.

Cheers,

Yes, they can. Provided both laser codes match and the bomb is dropped where it can spot the laser and has enough energy and time to guide itself onto the target.

No idea if there's any documentation.

The entries in the ME change the corresponding digit, marked by an x, in the laser code.

The first digit cannot be changed, 1x11 changes the second digit, 11x1 changes the third digit and 111x changes the last digit.

Example (Laser code 1246):

You can also change the laser code and more from the Kneeboard.

I don't know if you can change it midflight or only on the ground, I haven't tried it yet.

Last time I tried on the kneeboard you had to be shut down on the ground

Ah, that makes sense in the ME then. I presume 0-9 are valid digits for laser codes input for x then? Thanks for the info gents!

In general

x1 is 0,1

x2 is 1-6

x3 is 1-8

x4 is 1-8

Particular weapons and designators might be a limited subset, e.g. first digit must be 1.

THanks Frederf!
