[NO BUG]Rearming JDAM mid flight

[AMVI_Vinci]

Hello everyone,

 

 

i have prepared a JDAM practice test mission with unlimited weapons. What i found out is that after the first launch (all 4 targets hit succesfully), subsequent deployment of JDAMs resulted in mishits or loss of guidance. Am i the only one?

 

Tacview attached! (the third deployment did not actually hit as many trucks as tacview is showing)

 

Regards,

Hi

 

I have just tested unlimited weapons and JDAM it seems ok for me, I was getting good hits on second engagement.

 

Could you attach a track replay showing this behaviour, tacview is great, but we want to see your actions. You can save a track replay after you press escape during the debrief window.

 

thanks

Attached you'll find the track. I've tried few times and i've found out that the spawn bombs hit everytime, while subsequent jdams tend to miss.

Hi

 

thanks for the track, sadly it does not play back correctly for me ( it can happen sometimes ) so it is not showing a full scenario, the plan crashes for me.

 

From what I could see, make sure you are allowing time for the JDAMS to align at the start, wait until you have a good alignment showing.

second try, this time 2 passes went without a hitch on the third one all 4 missed left....as you can see i always apply the same routine for setting up and deploy the bombs

Having the same issue as well with the track playback, never shows you looking at a target, and then you nose into the ground. Are you running any mods or any scripting that might through things off?

 

Can you supply the mission and steps so we can try and reproduce that way?

I have tried to reproduce the problem, but all seems ok for me.

 

Can you attach the mission file, and are you using any unofficial mods?

yes i am running mods but just liveries and ALE-47 settings. the mission is as simple as it gets: an f18 40 nm from 20 ural in line. Nothing else in the theater. I will disable all mods and try again.

 

 

Thanks for the support!

Thanks! I'll take a look soon.

[BIGNEWY]

Thanks for the mission.

 

Just had a go to check again.

 

I used too mode and put 4 sets of 4 JDAM's on single vehicles and all of them hit correctly for me.

 

are you sure at the beginning you are allowing your jdams to align enough?

Yea, alignment is fine. I’ll just try without any mod enabled and post my results here.

 

Thanks again!

It maybe better for you to do a video if the track replay is not working out, we may see the reason for the problem then.

will do!

here i am again! this time i've disabled the few mods i had and tried again...12 out of 12 hits, perfect 100%.

 

 

 

This brings the question: The only mods i had were a pre-planned setup of the ALE47 to not set it up in flight everytime, i mod to help me export instruments panel on another screen and a mod that enbales me to fully use 3-way switches in DCS.

 

 

Also unrelated with the hit percentage issue but something that caught my eye while trying (you can see that on the video) TGP locking doesn't work really well when zoomed all the way in. Sometimes to make the TGP "snap" onto target you have to dezoom in close proximity to target. Is this realistic?

 

I will now go and re-enable my mods, try again and see it that was the problem.

 

Thanks guys

Hey good to see you have it fixed!

 

Try the mods one at a time you may find one that was creating the problem.

 

make sure when you are zoomed in you are using point mode, you should be ok, The TGP is still W.I.P so we will see further tweaks as we progress

 

Thanks for letting us know
