Looking for a gbu-12 howto

[bfr]

Anyone tried to self-lase with the Literning pod? I manage to do everything, so:

 

- GBU-12 armed in stores page;

- fuze set;

- TPOD on Right MFD;

- TPOD out of STBY;

- TPOD from SAFE to armed

- TPOD mode from training to LSR

- target marked

- TPOD set to FIRE (laser active)

- Laser code OK 1688

 

I get the queues and everything, drop the bomb but it doesn't guide to the target.

 

Altitude: 13.000 ft

 

When I use a JTAC to lase evrything works fine, both with DMT as with Litening.

 

I tried it myself last night for kicks with GBU-16s, and observed the same as you that it almost works.

So following some of the tutorials, holding down the pickle button on approach (the correct one) isn't working.

 

It's releasing a GBU as soon as it's pressed.

 

What have I got set wrong?

 

HUD says LST / RAUT. Also changed that to LST / AUTO with same behavior.

 

 

I rebound the pickle button to something without a modifier, and it works exactly as it should now.

 

If you're having bizarre trouble, I'd check that a modifier isn't involved. Or at least troubleshoot it with a standard binding.
