Sylosis Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 Hi everyone, I understand that the only way right now to change the bomb code is to use the kneeboard, right? If so, is there any plan to implement the code change in the MFDs and not the kneeboard? Or is the F-16 such that the bomb code has to be programmed before take-off (in real life I mean), therefore in DCS there isn't any other mean to recreate that other than the kneeboard?

Solution razo+r Posted July 4, 2022 Solution Share Posted July 4, 2022 In real life, the code can only set by ground crew, so setting it via Kneeboard is the most realistic option. The other option, to set it via MFDs is not realistic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignition Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 The big problem is the aircraft needs have the engines off, so when you land and rearm you need to shut down the aircraft and that means a full realignment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment I don't think that is the cause of my problem. I'm flying some dynamic mission with a friend on his private server and the AI Predators also use the default 1688 code, so I don't actually need to change it. I just didn't know how to Although I did try to drop GBU-12s on his targets and they completely didn't track his laser. Not sure why.

Probably distance, the laser in DCS has a maximum range around 9nm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tholozor Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 (edited) It's a little closer to ~8.2nm (~50,000 ft).

Not sure why. Hi. Was the JTAC lasing at the moment?. I mean, the DCS built in JTAC needs a nice choreography to work; Report to JTAC, get the 9 lines, set "IP INBOUND", LASER ON, LASING, SPOT, CLEAR HOT etc.. Other wise, the bomb will fall balistic. If the JTAC is set by a script, or other means, then no idea what was going on. Saludos. Saca111 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
