Hi everyone,

Any of you experiencing the below?

AI F-14s do this for me as well.

Somewhere along the line, the LANTIRN apparently isn't showing to the AI as a valid pod. It sounded like changes needed to be made on the ED end or that corrections to the LANTIRN code would need to be provided by them, as if you frankenstein a different pod on there suddenly the AI drop LGBs again.

Hey guys, 

Thanks for reporting back, indeed the issue is with the F14B/A AI variants.

I did found another report checked and relayed by Newline, just can't find the post anymore.

LanceCriminal86, you made my day, I tried your suggestion to "frankenstein" the "AN/ASQ-228" in lieu of the "Lantirn Targeting Pod" and it worked like a charm, I was even hoping to get an improvement on the Lantirn optics to no avail 

Big update is coming and this one has been in for several months, hope ED and HB make it happen, alternatively they could hire you 

Thanks for the support,

Best,

Lau
