Minni Posted September 26, 2020 Posted September 26, 2020 Hello, This is apparently tied to the GBU-24 but I have a recollection of this happening with other GBU's as well, not just maybe as often. I believe this has been an issue ever since the release of the module and since I haven't found an explanation as to why this happens anywhere I feel this is indeed a bug. When the plane is set up for A/G (Master Arm on, HUD A/G, stations selected as desired, weapon wheel set correctly, the whole shebang) the station flag(s) on the pilots ACM panel do not flag the selected stations and munitions can't be dropped. Just now I did a sortie where we first tested the station after departing and everything worked up until we got to our IP and the flag wouldn't rise on the station we were supposed to drop. We cycled multiple times from A/A to A/G, tried all the different stations (only one was A/G though) and the flags wouldn't budge. As the plane hadn't done more than 2G's after the first test and the actual attempt to drop I'm having a hard time figuring out what could be the problem here. Any ideas?
RustBelt Posted September 27, 2020 Posted September 27, 2020 What Drop mode are you in? Pilot or Computer?
Minni Posted September 27, 2020 Author Posted September 27, 2020 What Drop mode are you in? Pilot or Computer? CMPTR PILOT, the default position. I cycled through all the drop modes as well when we started troubleshooting but no joy. The issue isn't that we couldn't get the proper drop cues. In fact LANTIRN shows TREL and when the pickle button is pressed switches to TIMP as it always does but since no station could be selected the bomb won't release.
