Zad Fnark Posted November 10, 2021 Posted November 10, 2021 Hi everyone, I'm having an issue dropping CBUs in the 16. My loadout is 4 IR Mavs and 6 CBU-97s. If I fire off all the mavs first and then switch to bombs, I am unable to drop them while in CCIP. They just don't leave the racks. CCRP seems to work okay. If I select bombs before Mavericks, I'm able to drop them just fine. Any ideas. Someone elsewhere hinted it may be a bug, but I'm not so sure. Tried a search here, but came up empty. Thanks. Questions are a burdon, and answers a prison for one's self.
jojojung Posted November 10, 2021 Posted November 10, 2021 Have you hold the pickle button until the release bar reached the flight path marker? The CCIP in the F16 is a mixture of CCIP (designate the target with the pickle circle) and CCRP wait till the bar comes down when your approch is too flat.
Zad Fnark Posted November 10, 2021 Author Posted November 10, 2021 Thanks, I'll give it a try. Questions are a burdon, and answers a prison for one's self.
Furiz Posted November 10, 2021 Posted November 10, 2021 Also check your altitude when dropping those, if you are too low (canisters default open at 1500feet) they don't release.
Marklar Posted November 10, 2021 Posted November 10, 2021 When you finally manage to release them, don't be surprised when you miss your target.

Zad Fnark Posted November 11, 2021 Author Posted November 11, 2021 Well, jojojung, your idea seems to have worked. Kind of a weird hybrid of CCIP and CCRP. Questions are a burdon, and answers a prison for one's self.
Machalot Posted November 11, 2021 Posted November 11, 2021 That's what happens when the actual CCIP is off the bottom of the HUD. The pipper sits on the bottom edge, and it records the target point on the ground when you first press pickle. It doesn't release the weapons until you actually fly to the correct state (range, altitude, speed, flight path angle) that puts the bombs on target. "Subsonic is below Mach 1, supersonic is up to Mach 5. Above Mach 5 is hypersonic. And reentry from space, well, that's like Mach a lot."

Thats a huge advantage from the Viper, because you are able to drop bombs in CCIP If they are below the hud. So you dont always have to do dive bombing with a high approch angle.
Zad Fnark Posted November 11, 2021 Author Posted November 11, 2021 (edited) Appreciate the help guys. Figured it was procedural. At first I thought I might have to switch off the Mavs after firing them, but that didn't work. Edited November 11, 2021 by Zad Fnark Questions are a burdon, and answers a prison for one's self.
