Wile E. Posted February 21, 2022 Posted February 21, 2022 The GBU-12 is my preferred bomb to use in the Warthog, since I can triple rack them and hit moving vehicles. However, the default profile for them doesn't make a lot of sense (CCIP for a guided bomb?), so I end up changing it at the beginning of every mission to CCRP, auto lase, and 15 seconds of lasing before impact. Is there a way to change the default, or autoload my custom profile? On a related note, if I have two triple racks and a bunch of singles, the triples and singles use different profiles, and it seems to reset to default when I switch between them, or when I switch to another weapon. I'm not using DSMS to select them (which I saw in a training video selects the default profile), I'm using HUD->SOI then DMS L/R to cycle through weapons.

One feature that was announced by ED is a mission data cartridge functionality, and everyone's hoping that'll enable stuff like custom DSMS profiles to be set in the mission editor or maybe in the player's profile. It might be already possible to do it by changing the proper Lua files, but I don't know which these might be. 16 minutes ago, Wile E. said: and it seems to reset to default when I switch between them Huh, shouldn't be the case as far as I'm aware. Can you try to delete the old profile so that there's only the one GBU-12 profile remaining that you changed with your preferred settings?
Wile E. Posted February 21, 2022 Author Posted February 21, 2022 In the table view, I only have one GBU-12 entry, but when I cycle through the HUD, there are two. I assumed those are the triples versus the singles.

I'm not using DSMS to select them (which I saw in a training video selects the default profile), I'm using HUD->SOI then DMS L/R to cycle through weapons. Right now the only way to use custom profiles is to have some type of macro command for a sequence of OSB button presses to configure your stuff. I've heard a couple people use VoiceAttack, you could use Joystick Gremlin or anything else that can run a button macro. When you jump in a plane, you press your setup command and it runs your macro to set up your custom preferences. I've never bothered with it, though. FWIW, CCRP/CCIP is the least important profile setting, since you can just spam the Master Mode button after you select the profile to change it anyway...
ASAP Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 Or you could just save yourself a bunch of time and just use your right index finger to toggle the weapons mode to CCRP and use your pinky to turn the laser on.

I assumed those are the triples versus the singles. Yes, cycling includes every combination of weapon profile and weapon config. E.g. if you have weapon profiles A and B with weapon configurations 1 2 3 you'll cycle through: A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, B3. Being on TERs vs straight on the MAU rack counts as a different config, same as different fuzes or subvariants of bomb.
DN308 Posted February 26, 2022 Posted February 26, 2022 Is there a way to configure the bombs for airburst?

GBU-12 can't ever have airburst either. The laser seeker section can't accept a DSU-33 (radar fuze) airburst fuze for obvious reasons. 2

We asked for that in A-stan and had it for both 12 and 38 5 hours ago, Yurgon said: None that I'm aware of. Ok, Thanks
