euthyphro Posted September 19, 2019 Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) I have watched MANY youtube tutorials regarding laser guided bombs and cant seem to get it to work. I am quite familiar with the F18 thus far and even the A10C so I am not a complete newb... Long story short, I get everything all lined up and my GBU 12 is always x out and nothing drops. I even get a countdown and nothing drops. I am using the targeting pod to assign a target and depress the TDC to transfer over coordinates to pre-selected bomb. Yes, I have assigned the laser code and depress the trigger to activate it. Yes I set the fuse as well and make sure AG is selected as well as master arm is on. No matter what I do I always have an x drawn through CCIP or MAN mode on the HUD with DUD written above it and nothing releases. I am not using the Beta version of DCS world either.

Harker Posted September 19, 2019 Posted September 19, 2019 You need to set MFUZ to OFF and EFUZ to INST, are you sure you're doing that? The vCVW-17 is looking for Hornet and Tomcat pilots and RIOs.

I'd suggest posting a track file of this happening. Although I agree with Harker that DUD is usually incorrect fusing (not sure it also locks you out if you're too low as well).
Greyman Posted September 19, 2019 Posted September 19, 2019 Watching or re-watching this one might help As Wags is setting up the LGB, you can see the "DUD" and the cross over CCIP disappear as he sets the efuse to instantaneous and the laser code respectively.
Stubbies2003 Posted September 19, 2019 Posted September 19, 2019 Never mind you are talking about transferring coordinates to the weapon which is a GPS guided weapons procedure but then talking about a GBU-12 which is NOT a GPS guided weapon but a laser guided one. Me thinks you are more than a little confused on procedure here.

GBU-12: Master Arm ON Select A/G Select LGB Release AUTO MFUZ OFF EFUZ INST CODE: **** (of your choice via UFC) **If designating from your Litening pod, find target: Make sure to toggle LTD/R to ARM Make sure TRIG is "boxed" on FLIR DDI TDC Depress (sets desired target that you have found via Litening pod) Hold weapon release after release cue starts to drop (around 4 seconds). Shortly after weapon releases: Depress the trigger so indication on FLIR DDI goes from LARM to LTD/R (which is how you know the laser is firing). Maintain laser on target without masking from aircraft, remaining onboard ordinance or terrain. Boom. Target destroyed or damaged (depending on target and size of LGB). **If receiving laser from external source: Select LSS on the FLIR DDI (ensure laser code matches to the one being provided via external source). You can change that via UFC if mismatched under LSTC option. Same weapon release procedure. Boom. Target destroyed or damaged (depending on target and size of LGB). Really, seems like you are just not setting the release to AUTO. Would bet that is the only thing that is creating the DUD / Break X cue. I typed a lot, just to get to the fact that you need to be in AUTO release mode - but no way that I was going to delete all the other stuff. Maybe someone else can benefit from it when trying to drop LGBs. Let me know if that worked for you. Oh and best results when flying level horizon to drop, but not necessary.

And the video Wags posted, has some kind of "glitch or lag" to his weapon profile setting - as he selected AUTO for release type, yet it still showed CCIP on the stores DDI as well as HUD, until he used TDC depress when he had found the target with the Litening pod.

Goldham Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 I have had an occasional bug where the interval and multi settings get bugged to -106 which prevents my bombs from dropping. I would make sure both are set to 1.
Harlikwin Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 Ive also seen the x out cue if you have any of the weapons not setup right, not just the currently selected one.

DerFangzahn Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 Had the same issue yesterday. MFUZ OFF was the issue. By the way. If I trigger the laser. How long is the target illuminated? Thx
Greyman Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 It's not latched, so the target is illuminated for as long as you hold the trigger in
Ziptie Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 Had the same issue yesterday. MFUZ OFF was the issue. By the way. If I trigger the laser. How long is the target illuminated? Thx After you depress the laser, it will stay on until you depress the trigger again. You actually don’t have to hold the trigger (unlike when the Litening pod was first released). First depress toggles on, second toggles off.

Greyman Posted September 23, 2019 Posted September 23, 2019 Ah, sweet. That's now how it works on the A10c, after the latch has been set, but I'd be a little concerned about damaging someone's eyesight with the laser. ;)
Preendog Posted September 24, 2019 Posted September 24, 2019 I pointed the laser at a soldier while orbiting, until the laser shut itself off. When I got closer he could still aim and shoot just fine. ED fix plz.
Ziptie Posted September 24, 2019 Posted September 24, 2019 (edited) I pointed the laser at a soldier while orbiting, until the laser shut itself off. When I got closer he could still aim and shoot just fine. ED fix plz. What? In the F/A-18C Hornet (in DCS), the laser will not shut off unless you toggle the LTD/R switch from ARM, to STDBY or AFT. Within DCS, there is no laser burnout (as of yet) for the Hornet. On the FLIR DDI, it will go from displaying LTD/R to LARM if the laser is masked by the aircraft, ordinance on the aircraft, or terrain. But once that masking issue has been resolved, it will display back to LTD/R. If you were trying to kill the soldier by firing the laser at him, you will have zero luck in doing so as it is not a weapon, but merely a designation tool.
