MGRS coordinates can only be used on steerpoints 21 through 25.

Please provide a track replay we can look at so your issue can be diagnosed.

JDAMs on the F-16 currently don't have absolute targeting modeled (directly on STPT coordinates), and only use relative targeting based on sensor data at the moment. This has already been reported as WIP.

Did you set the ACQ source to TADS? Also, by chance did you have the FCR installed and selected as the pilot's sight source?

It's also possible that previously we had the ability to set the codes with non-octal values (this would make sense for a 'rejection behavior').

Ensure you do not select the 'All' option when changing laser codes on the F-15E, this will bug out the laser codes and you will be unable to change them (the kneeboard will show all laser codes as 0000). If you accidentally select the 'All' option, you can restore the laser code functionality by rearming the aircraft. To prevent the codes from bugging out, change the laser codes for each station instead (i.e. 'Left CFT,' 'Right CFT,' etc). This issue has actually existed for quite some time:

A track replay would help us get a look at the process to see if anything is missing or user error.

You have to manually swap missions (PP or TOO) for smart weapons loaded on BRU-55 racks, it doesn't assign them to a specific weapon on the rack.

You released the missiles below the FLT setting; they don't climb to the flight setting. So if you release them below it, they'll cruise around the release altitude. You also released from an incredibly low airspeed, meaning the missiles had to expend more fuel/energy to reach their cruising speed.

Hi, welcome to the forums! This option was mentioned here, and marked as under investigation:

These are listed in the controls list as: - Transmit Switch - IFF IN (this would be right for "inboard") - Transmit Switch - IFF OUT (this would be left for "outboard")

Even if we wouldn't be able to support 120 midcourse off an offboard L&S, it would certainly speed up radar acquisition by being able to command STT on an offboard track via Fast Acquisition.

Your second waypoint is set to 20,000 feet MSL instead of at the target elevation.

AFAIK yes.

This will happen if you try to change the laser code for "All" stations (just opening the "All" option bugs it out, but you can recover from this state by re-arming the aircraft). The current workaround is to change the laser code per-station instead (e.g. Left CFT, Right CFT, etc), this will not bug out the codes.

We use meters quite often in fact. Our ground forces use meters almost exclusively for calling out range. This is also why the yardstick readout on targeting pods is typically in meters, so that information can be relayed to troops if needed. Army Aviation also primarily utilizes distances in meters AFAIK.

That is correct, the Mk 339 cannot be altered from the cockpit, the pilot can only select the primary or optional function timings. The FMU-140 also cannot be changed from the cockpit, changing the height function on the STORES page only changes release symbology (so ensure it matches what the bomb is set to). Use the CBU-99 to install the FMU-140.

Opening the textures for the aforementioned F-16 liveries in Photoshop (using the Intel Texture Works dds plugin) provides no option to "Load mip-maps into separate layers." These specific F-16 liveries have been reported before: The TEXTURES tab in the ModelViewer also relays the lack of mips with a [NOMIPS] tag. Looking at the 152d FS livery though the mips appear to be present? (fixed at some point I guess, used to not be the case). 132d FW, Iowa ANG: 174th FS: 36th FS: 80th FS:

I assume you're referring to VTOL VR?

The laser code is technically not part of the fuze, it's part of the guidance control section. The FMU-152 tail fuze only allows the pilot to electronically change the arming and function delay timing, nothing more.

Looking through a Chilean -34 manual, the Snakeye can have an FMU-139 fuze installed in the tail or nose well. The initiation for either setup controlled via a wire routed through the bomb casing from the FZU armed on the MAU-12's center solenoid or TER's nose solenoid.

You can try these, however George will still switch the TADS to FLIR on his own:

Also ensure the PRECISE option is selected on the bottom row of the waypoint DATA page to enable decimal seconds. If using a targeting pod, ensure to use TDC Depress (I assume this is what you meant by "specified button") to write the coordinates to the TOO mission memory. If all else, post a track we can look at.

The MSN page for IAMs (JDAM, JSOW, SLAM, etc) currently only displays Degree-Minute-Seconds (DMS) format, whereas the aircraft starts in Degree-Decimal-Minutes (DDM) format. You can switch the aircraft's coordinate format from the HSI → DATA → A/C submenu using the LATLN option in the bottom right corner to switch between LATLN DCML to LATLN SEC to make the formats match. This will change the coordinate format display in the targeting pod as well.

I believe that's the "Air and Space Outstanding Unit Award," (previously the "Air Force Outstanding Unit Award") which the 148th Fighter Wing has earned quite a number of times. https://www.afpc.af.mil/Fact-Sheets/Display/Article/421951/air-and-space-outstanding-unit-award/
