[CORRECT AS IS] GBU 31 gps guided bomb - missing info on HSI

[captflyby]

I downloaded and am using the first mission of Operation Saber Thrust, a campaign configured for the super carrier.

 

Having been out of DCS for a year, I am a little rusty, but then again, maybe not with all the changes.

 

Basic GBU-31 gps guided bomb mission. Use in either TOO or TPP modes.

 

Problem: I am missing the inner (min range) and outer (max range) rings of the target area of the gbu-31 on the HSI.

 

What might I be doing wrong.

 

I have watched many videos, they all seem straight forward, and all show the targeting rings on the HSI. For some reason I cannot.

 

Any ideas.

 

My brain hurts from trying to figure this out.

 

Thanks in advance.

I assume you are seeing a pizza slice shape instead, that is the IZLAR, when you are in the IZLAR then the min range and max range rings will disappear.

I am not seeing any bomb guidelines at all. No circles. No pizza slices.

 

 

I know it is something I am not doing, I just don't know what it could be that is preventing these from showing up on the HSI.

What you're seeing is correct. The large circle in the first image is the maximum range cue, the smaller shape in the second image (pizza slice) is the In Zone Launch Acceptable Region (IZLAR).

 

Here's Wags' video explaining it.

Thank you Thol...

Played the video, stopped repeated in the jet.

Still nothing...

 

 

Problem solved: genius pilot had range set too high at 80nm.

Changed the range down to 40nm or 20nm and there you go...problem solved.

 

 

Thank for your help guys.
