clusterbomb 105 with default HOF 1800 not release?

When I select default loaded clusterbomb 105 with HOF 1800,

CCRP locked at ground spot @ 9000ft

the CBU-105 will not release.

When I change the HOF to 700 via the inventory,

CBU-105 will release and performs as expected.

What am I missing?

CCRP locked at 9000ft, is that AGL or from MSL? What is your altitude from the ground?

9000ft is the reading from the A01 HUD (MSL i guess),

this is one of those Quickstart situations I edited to start in air 3x the distance to first target and at 9000ft - it's inland (AGL perhaps 7000ft?) I use for training CBU release

Now that you mention it, not in this case/example, setting (resetting?) HOF to a lower reading also gets rid of 'bad terrain read for target' or something in the HUD in other situation, cant remember which, but I think when low, when I dot Not edited start waypoint height, so like MSL 3000 in those Quikstart situation (AGL 1500ft ?), not sure if this is anywhere related.

It's like default CBU HOF loaded when situation starts inflight creates the error / doesnt read situation properly?

(wild guess here, or what did I miss)

It sound a little like you do not have enought altitude above target to use HOF1800. I may very well be misinterpretting the info. If your target elevation is 9000MSL and you are flying at 11000MSL you may not have enought height over target for IFFCC to release the weapon.

That is why it will release when you lower HOF to 700.

As mentioned I may have misunderstood your description and if I did could you post the mission or a track?

How do you change HOF? I did look at "change set" but did not see something like that

Go to DSMS,

press INV on OSB5

Select stations holding CBU

Press OSB3 INV STAT

Cycle through the different heights on OSB18

Above is slightly faster than the method described in the manual;

Go to DSMS,

press INV on OSB5

Select stations holding CBU

Press CBU OSB7

Select the correct type of CBU on next page

Cycle through the different heights on OSB18

Try climbing to a higher altitude, those the problem persist from a higher altitude?

I've tried from a highly altitude with inconsistent results, which still seems to point to some sort of bug that pre-programs the CBU, which it shouldn't, only happens when missions starts in the air.

(Wild guess, anyway, Not using the default, setting the HOF makes it work)

Do you always try in the same target area?
