fixed [REPORTED] GBU 24s won't track the laser

[Willard]

It appears that the GBU-24 isn't tracking the laser at all, while every other GBU can track it just fine.

 

 

In my attached track file you can see me dropping a GBU-24 and a second later a GBU-12, the 12 tracks the laser, while the 24 just behaves like a dumb bomb.

[DCS BUG] GBU 24s won't track the laser

 

I made the same test against a plane shelter with all the GBUs useable by the F-14 B : -10, -12, -16 and -24. Among all those, the first three work flawlessly. Only the -24 has the problem. Even if I fire the laser quite soon, the GBU-24 doesn't track it and falls quite long. I run the OB 2.5.4.29167. Here's a track.

Currently a DCS/ED issue. Same happens in the Hornet as far as I know.

[104th_Maverick]

Air hunter is correct, this is an ED issue that has been known for some time, it happens with every aircraft trying to drop the weapon, we patiently wait for them to fix it

I missed that before. Thanks for your answers.

Is the problem still relevant? i have the same problem with gbu-24

[Airhunter]

Yes, the GBU-24 (Paveway III) guidence is not implemented. Like, why does ED even offer the weapon itself if it's not modelled correctly?

Pre Hornet it worked like a standard Paveway II. (I think).

 

Eventually it will get a proper treatment so that it models more realistic Paveway III guidance at some point. Basically it's just a placeholder for now.

Entire DCS is a placeholder right now lol.

maybe you need to report a problem to the developers? :) or do they know? :)

They surely know as people have spammed it plenty of times already. Same with the annoying F6 view bug that got introdued in 2.5.5.

[Osprey123]

Same issue

 

This is still not fixed?

[QuiGon]

This is still not fixed?

Yes

[Airhunter]

I guess we "might" see it once once it's done for the Hornet since it's on the feature list for it.

Indeed, the GBU-24 is not functioning properly throughout DCS, regardless of the aircraft it is being used with. It's the first Paveway III series LGB in DCS and ED has not yet implemented their guidance properly.

+1 any progress on this? The bomb looks too cool to not be able to be used

Need more topics about gbu-24? What developers would see us :mad:

Hi all

 

I have moved this to the general section as it is a problem with the GBU-24 and not the tom cat.

 

It is reported, but I do no thave a timeline for a fix at the moment.

 

Thanks

[Bl00dWolf]

Hello.

Any news about this problem?

 

 

Still have this problem on F14B.

24 not tracking laser

Up!

[Notso]

For those of you who are having this issue - when are you turning on the laser? The GBU-24, unlike the other LGBs, require continuous lase from release to impact in order to work correctly since it doesn't use bang bang guidance. I have not tried it yet in DCS, so not sure how it's being modeled.

[Goodwin]

up? the problem is still relevant
