This is still WIP, thanks. 

[Moonshine]

interesting, does that mean now all jdams will explode above target (airburst)? what use is it to have a penetrator bomb if it does not penetrate?

But you could change it before today's patch, can't say with 100% certainty if actually did anything or not.

and you could change the delay settings too.

Yes delay settings can still be changed

Well you can still change the Arming Delay, but without the ground fuzing option you can't change post impact detonation delay.

Arming Delay. Selects the delay between weapon release and arming. Options are 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 14, 21, and 25 seconds.

Yup. I only tested the AD. 
seems logical that there is no FD on „Air“. 

but the fact you cant change it to GND anymore is interesting, especially since there was no info about anything in this regard.

On the control page, you are no longer able to cycle through AIR, GND, and GND DLY for the GBU 38 as of last update.

[LumberJack]

I have same issue with the GBU31 fuzing as well.

[Moonshine]

Reported that yesterday, apparently now a whishlist item as they seem to be revisiting the bomb fuzes in general.

while thats fine, a little info about it to clear up the confusion would have not been too much to ask.

Why is it WIP when it worked fine before the last update?

[BIGNEWY]

Hi, please be patient as it is work in progress. 

thanks

[BIGNEWY]

the new fuze settings will need tweaking.

In today's official ED training mission #18 - JDAM deployment, I was not able to complete because I was not able to select GRND mode in fusing options..  I found a one year old thread on it that had been closed.  A reminder to ED that this is still an issue and needs addressing.

Here is the link to the old thread..

 

And unfortunately, I feel I need to rant just for a moment...

 

Kinda new player to DCS.  Flaming Cliffs was first purchase, love the F15C, no issues here.  

2nd Purchase was A10C2 - Brilliant module, works as the manual states.

3rd and 4th purchase.  F16C and F18C.  Currently learning the F16C, working through the manual, the training missions and anything else I can find to get me proficient in the DCS Viper.

Just about every 3-4 lessons or topics in the F16C, I come across some kind of road block, usually it's a bug, or an unfinished feature.  The training missions aren't updated, the manual is incomplete, and so far, my experience with the F16C Module has felt a bit unprofessional.  The bugs or roadblocks I discover can be found in the forums dated months, if not years ago.  Threads are closed, official statements are "WIP".  The further I dive into DCS, the more disappointed I am with the lack of follow through on the newer modules I purchased.  The modules aren't cheap and DCS seems to pride themselves on realism and professionalism.  It's not showing.  I am now the type of customer that is more skeptical, than optimistic.  It will and has affected my purchasing habits towards DCS.

I know the last two modules I purchased are listed as "Early Access", but lets finish and complete before releasing more half done projects.  "Early Access" is doing more to hurt the game industry than it is helping it.

Rant over..

Cheers

Threads merged. 

Sorry it seem like the work takes a long time, but sadly it does. We are trying our best to get as many features and tweaks out to the public but we can only go as fast as our resources allow. 

we've tried the mission and the fact you cannot change the fuse to GND does not prevent the mission from continuing

Thank you for sticking with us on this

Hi,

I've been trying to knock out the ammo-dumps on a 4YA-server for a number of times now, and I've noticed a difference between multiplayer and singleplayer. In the CNTL-page of the GBU31B on OSB17, in MP (on 4YA) I get AIR, and when pressed it goes blank. In SP, I get GND and when pressed it does GND DLY. 

Not sure if the issue lays with the airframe or with the weapon. No mods installed.

Regards

 

[Moonshine]

apparently GND/AIR fuzing options are still work in progress. 

 

[bengo]

Oh.....okay then.....
