Sprool Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 I'm getting a problem when I have different GBU's in a loadout and laser bombing using the T-pod to designate. If I designate a target, drop a GBU12 then switch to designating a new target to drop a GBU10 the fall line goes way off so either the bomb doesnt release ot it doesnt track the laser. Maybe I'm missing a vital step somewhere but I dont get he same issue switching from a GBU 12 to a CBU97. Its just the GBU10 that seems to cause an issue?
Weaponz248 Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 I had the same issue on my last mission. The mission loaded in with 8x GBU-12s. I called for rearm and had them load 2xGBU-10 and 4xGBU-12 I loaded each in via PACS page. Set each up for Auto, Step, N/T prog 1 was the 12s and Prog 2 was the 10s The GBU-12s worked fine but when I selected the 10s the fall line was off to the right the whole time. I have flown 4xGBU-12 and 2xGBU-24 with no issues but I loaded into the mission with that load out.

I did just have that issue for the first time yesterday--switching from GBU-12 to CBU-97 did seem to cause a problem for me with the GBU-12. Perhaps the issue isn't weapon-specific, but maybe something else?
Sprool Posted July 7, 2023 Author Posted July 7, 2023 So it looks like this may be a bug rather than operator error...?I made a hot start mission in the ME but only had to set up the GBU10's in the PACS menu.
mvesky Posted July 9, 2023 Posted July 9, 2023 This was happening to me tonight, too. Carrying 1 GBU-24 on the center station and 4 GBU-10's on the CFTs. First of all, when the mission loaded, the left two GBU-10s were not in the PACS, Even thought they were the preplanned loadout. Had to program them manually (speaking of which, there are three different GBU-10s in the PACS, the GBU-10A, 10B, and 10M. I don't know which is correct, so I put 10M Not sure if this had anything to do with it). Went up, flew to the airfield and put the GBU-24 right through the roof of the fuel dump dead center. Circled around, designated a hangar in the tpod, switched to Prog 2 for the 10s, lined up and released. Bombs fall line was 1/2 mile right of the target, bomb didn't acquire the laser and missed. Circled around, lined up again after resetting the tpod to the steerpoint and redesignating the target. Released on the steering line, bomb went way right, same problem. Third try also went right, but the bomb did pick up the laser and barely managed to turn in time to hit the target. Fourth bomb on a different target went WAY right and landed in a nearby town right on top of an unlucky mosque in the middle of a residential neighborhood. Fortunately, being a sim, I was spared the career ending shame and embarrassment of having the incident end up on international news. But joking aside, this is crazy. All the other GBU versions are dead-on. The GBU-10s seem to go off further right than a Trumper at a MAGA rally. 1
