zildac Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 (edited) Odd issue. Anyone else having issues with GBU12s (only LGBs I’ve tried) not tracking in the latest OB? Release, fire the laser, and they never look like they're tracking and always miss? Same procedure I've been using for months, but doesn't work. An aside, but the same appears to happen using GBU12s in the A10C II also. Doesn't seem to matter on the map or mission, the behaviour is the same? Hornet works fine...I'm very confused Edited July 22, 2022 by zildac 12900KF | Maximus Hero Z690 | ASUS 4090 TUF OC | 64GB DDR5 5200 | DCS on 2TB NVMe | WarBRD+Warthog Stick | CM3 | TM TPR's | Varjo Aero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pavelheer Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 (edited) Make sure targeting pod and bomb codes match, since this patch you can no longer adjust bomb codes in flight. Edited July 22, 2022 by Dr_Pavelheer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did see that note in the release notes, and I've not changed them. They're at the default of 1111, still the same outcome.

Dr_Pavelheer Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Check the kneeboard, default code for APKWS and laser guided bombs is 1688, while default code of targeting pod is 1111 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If nothing has changed, and it's that simple, then, great. I've not flown it in a few weeks, so perhaps why. Will double-check later. 9 hours ago, Dr_Pavelheer said: Make sure targeting pod and bomb codes match, since this patch you can no longer adjust bomb codes in flight. Ah, that would make sense, as I used to change them in flight simply by boxing code and changing. So the behaviour has changed since the patch?

Dr_Pavelheer Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Yes. Now you can only adjust codes on the ground with engine off. I would prefer if they did it like in JF-17 where you can adjust codes while on the ground with engine on but at least now the procedure is the same for GBU-12 and APKWS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Side note I want them to bring back the requirment that the engines off before the choks can be removed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pavelheer Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 The trick is to mount weapons under the wings, not on the nose. Also removing chocks with engine running is apparently perfectly safe. Just not hearing safe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
