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

[Airhunter]

up? the problem is still relevant

 

Its planned for the Hornet this year, so who knows.

The GBU-24 bug is still persistent in DCS 2.5.6.52437 open beta current version. Using the LANTIRN pod in the F-14, all other laser guided GBUs are able to track and hit targets. However, even with the laser on prior to the time of release, the GBU-24 follows a ballistic glide path without ever tracking the laser.

The GBU-24 bug is still present in DCS 2.5.6.53756 open beta. All other LGBs track just fine using the LANTIRN pod in the F-14, but the GBU-24 fails to attempt to track. The link below has a track and .mp4 video file demonstrating the bug.

It will be fixed (or rather implemented, as Paveway III guidance has never existed in DCS so far). It's on the roadmap for 2021:

14. GBU-24 Paveway III LGB

I see. It would be nice though if they could at least give it the same guidance as the GBU-16 and GBU-10, which are working, until they can implement the more realistic guidance, so we can at least use the bomb until they are finished. Right now, we are unable to test this bomb at all, and it is effectively just dead weight in its current state. I can understand if there are technical limitations to doing this, though.

Then you could just use the GBU-10 instead. The big difference between the GBU-10 (Paveway II) and the GBU-24 (Paveway III) ist the guidance. What's the point of using a GBU-24 with GBU-10 guidance?!

 

The problem is, that some thirds party devs (RAZBAM, Heatblur) have jumped the gun on this one and already made the GBU-24 ingame, before ED has implemented the guidance system. The weapon is just not ready for use yet.

still?

Can you please confirm the issue discussed here is the same as this one?

 

If so, the internal report was bumped very recently.

The GBU-24 has been working for a while now. Now we have the same issue with the GBU-28 though

Thansk. This thread will be closed, then.
