GBU-12's issue

[jeffham222]

I have spent two hours or more trying to get this to work and am a bit frustrated. Using OpenBeta.

 

GBU-12s on BRU-33s on stations 2,3,7,8 for a total of 8 GBU-12s.

 

EFUZ--INST

 

Mode-AUTO

 

Quantity--1

 

Master to ARM

 

A/G selected

 

Laser code--1688 (and showing under each station)

 

Using an AFAC A-10 with a laser FLIR pod on to designate a line of tanks at WP3 in a mission I made

 

Wep designated the WP on HSI

 

When I go in, the timer until drop ALWAYS begins at 99 and release is about 1.2-1.5mi away from target--if I even get to drop.

 

My altitudes have been anywhere from 14k' to 20k'. I've made the "IN" call between 15 and 10 miles.

 

Bombs are ALWAYS off. Not even remotely close.

 

Have the latest update.

 

Is there a specific distance to target that works better with the IP INBOUND, 10 SECONDS, LASER ON, SPOT and IN calls or does it matter?

 

Does the AFAC's position relative to the target matter for lasing?

 

I gotta be screwing something simple up, what is it?

Your waypoint probably isn't on the ground - set the elevation to whatever the ground-height is.

[jeffham222]

Yeah, it was set to about 18k'... I guess that could make a huge difference, eh?

 

Lemme go try and fly this pig again and I'll report back in a bit...

I cant even get a GBU-12 to release at all. They are always crossed out on the HUD. Says DUD to I think

Set EFUZ to INST, MFUZ to OFF.

Had that issue, Fisherman...

 

Ok so I set the altitude of the WP to the ground elevation, still off, but sort of close... only a quarter of a mile off now! Lol...

Do the bombs track or do they just fall in a ballistic arc? If they track you'll see them start swaying around as they navigate onto the laser, if they don't do that there's probably an issue with the laser. If you attach a track someone might be able to work out what's wrong. You could always try the laser guided bomb instant action mission just to verify you're not getting anything simple wrong.

[jeffham222]

They seem to be tracking... "better"... Also--and I don't think it matters--I set the speed of the WP to as low as it would go (~126kts). Does the TYPE of WP matter--eg, flyover vice turning point?

 

I didn't notice any "swaying", but I may have gotten to the wep view too late... so probably just the ballistic arc. Everything seemed good to go from the AFAC.

 

INS and everything else was good to go as well.

 

Thanks for the assistance this far, Backspace!

 

I gotta go to bed--work tonight--but I'll be on again after work to sort this pig out!

[Fisherman82]

Set EFUZ to INST, MFUZ to OFF.

Will try that, thank you!

I'm having the same issue. LGBs do not track for me. 65E's work just fine. I havent tried since update bit I'll check when I get to my cpu.

I hijack this thread for a gbu-12 question.

I was able to drop GBU-12 without any problems in CCIP mode.

Is there no way to relese them in CCRP? i tried everything but under MODE i only have Auto,FD,CCIP.

Auto is the same thing as CCRP.

well RIP me

So I got back on it, and moved the targets from a little valley and into wide open spaces...

 

Out of 8 LGBs, 3 hit--one miss was because I screwed up and forgot to make the "IN" call, but the other 4 were all something else.

 

Tried checking out then checking back in. First time I dropped after a good shack when I got the "shift" call from AFAC, didn't realize what it meant and missed on second pass.

 

Next round hit.

 

Shifted and a miss.

 

Meh... lots of time for lots of missed ordnance.

 

Guess I need more hours.

 

Does anyone else have issues with multiple targets at the same WP?
