jdam/gbu 31/12

[thrustvector]

ok, not sure if its me as I haven't had the hog long, but, even in the tutorials, (which are painfully slow and don't always progress on) the jdam gbu 31/and gbu 12s never hit there target, allways miss my about the same percentage, can anyone else check this for me?

thanks

Aaaaaand like I just said in another thread of yours (not actually stalking you, just trying to see if I can help a fellow pilot out), please help us help you.

 

Which DCS version do you run?

 

Which mission?

 

Post a track. If you can't post a track, record and upload a video.

 

Or we could go back and forth for days to come about SPIs, SPI generators, SOIs, lasers and laser codes, latch vs autolase vs pinky fingers, DSMS profiles, and whatnot.

haha, lol, sorry yea I believe you, I heard of you stalkers, yep forgot those bits, well this is the 2.5 thread so its on that, no particular mission as I'm running constant bombing runs to get the memory of what to do.

I activate the laser, and give it a time on so when launched with a time longer than needed so always on.

target locked on, as point (say its a bunker)

TGP on right mfd, soi/spi ccrp follow the queue to fly and launch, every gbu-10 will miss, the TGT is still locked, I can fly back and launch another, and it will miss by the same amount.

if for example on the A-10c its ok for you then its obviously my prob and ill try something else, just wondering if anyone is having a problem :)

during LGB fall the "L" laser on tgp should flash.

If not - you should read again procedure in manual page 549.

In 2.5 I have no pb with LGB's and gbu31/38 (dropped some today).

I believe there's a bug with auto lasing. ''L'' flashes for few seconds then turns off.

Thanks guys, yep that's it, it flashes then goes off, I wasn't sure if that was what was supposed.to happen or not, I just need to watch that.

Thanks for help...appreciate it :)

Is your auto lase time too short in your DSMS Settings for the LGB?

Thanks, that's a lot more to work with, and it seems like the laser ceasing to lase mid-fall might explain your problems.

 

Unless the thread was moved, this is the general A-10C part of the forum and is in no way isolated to any particular version of DCS, so that part was not obvious while reading your initial report.

 

Your terminology indicates that the concepts of SPI and SPI Generators are still very fresh to you. In the A-10C, the term "locking" something doesn't apply to the TGP, it's rather called "tracking".

 

In any case, you never mentioned your SPI generator as you drop the weapon.

 

Again, the easiest way for us to help you is if you post a track. That way we can virtually "look over your shoulder" and should be able to point out very quickly and precisely what's wrong.

thanks will do, away for a while so do when I get home thanks again
