Pylon Positions GBU-12/16

Noticed today the pylon positions have been updated and most fixed (Which is awesome, thanks). The GBU-12 and 16 are still incorrect. When you guys get around to it.

I noticed the same. GBU-12 and GBU-16 mounted directly to a pylon is mounted too high as if the pylon is imbedded into the bomb. F-5E-3 has the same problem with Mk-82LD's and GBU-12's. So not sure if it is an aircraft module problem or somewhere else.

 

 

I also noticed there is a choice of three SUU-25 dispensers on a TER (triple ejector rack). However, they were invisible when installed on pylon #2. I didn't test it on pylon #6. Or they did not install when the ground loading menu accepted it, and therefore were invisible. Not sure which it is.

 

 

One more item: Please check if two or three GBU-16's can be loaded on a TER. The ordnance chart in your (RAZBAM) Pocket Guide says it is "legal" for 3 on pylons #3 & #5. But looking at them loaded, the tail fins hit each other. They look like they are properly positioned on the TER, however.

(I don't know how to upload a picture to show you)

I have seen the same with the TER flares

Since I don't fly online I did a .lua edit. Changing the GBU-12 attachment position to the following:

 

0.380, -0.145, 0.0

 

Puts them in roughly the same position as Mk82 slicks. I haven't tried the GBU-16 yet.

 

If it's that easy I hope this get addressed the next update.

Agreed. When this was was fixed for the other bombs the GBUs were missed. Not sure why. But everything else was fixed.

What I find strange is that the default Mk82 slick position is this:

 

-0.085, -0.155, 0.0

 

GBU-12s are just Mk82 slicks with a guidance kit, so theoretically the attachment position should be the same....but they are way off.

 

EDIT I fixed the GBU-16s. Their position should be the following:

 

0.450, -0.180, 0.0

 

Now, what I find odd is that none of the bombs are really attached properly. All of them are floating some distance below the pylons, and the mounting hook positions are strange. If I'm understanding the pylon interface correctly, there is a track inside the pylon where the two mounting hooks go, and the four "feet" that extend out from the pylon simply stabilize the bomb. When trying to properly position the bombs so that the mounting hooks go inside the pylon's track and the "feet" touch the top of the bomb, I found that the Harrier's pylon tracks are shorter than the distance between the two hooks, and the "feet" are so high that the bomb model will clip into the pylon model.

Just as a caveat, the .lua edits may be messing with track replay reliability. I've flown a couple of missions dropping GBU-16s and on one of my tracks the bombs utterly fail to drop, despite the aircraft jolting as if they had dropped. I don't appear to have any issues with other weapons.
