Orestd Posted July 9, 2023 Posted July 9, 2023 Does anyone know why my GBU 12 bombs drop as soon as I select it in the DSMS page? Thank you.

Yurgon Posted July 10, 2023 Posted July 10, 2023 In that case help us help you. Which version of DCS are you experiencing this in? Please record and share a short and concise track, or a video showcasing the problem. Just FTR, GBU-12 default to CCIP, meaning they'll basically drop with any press of the weapon release button. GBU-38 and GBU-54, in contrast, require CCRP and will only drop after the weapon release button has been pressed for about a full second while also being in range of the assigned SPI. So when you say "all other ordnance", does that include Mk-82 and rockets and other weapon types set to CCIP?

In the A10 When i select the GBU 12 in the DSMS the bomb automatically drops without me pressing the weapon release button. all other bombs including MK 82 (haven't tested the rockets yet) drop when I press the weapons release. I will try and do a video of what happens.

Right now, there are 2 different public DCS versions available: 2.8.4.39731 Stable 2.8.6.41363 OpenBeta You'll find the full version number in the lower right corner of the DCS main screen. 6 hours ago, Orestd said: In the A10 When i select the GBU 12 in the DSMS the bomb automatically drops without me pressing the weapon release button. all other bombs including MK 82 (haven't tested the rockets yet) drop when I press the weapons release. That is insanely weird. I've never heard of any such issue. I just tried this with an A-10C II in the current DCS Stable and could not reproduce the problem. 6 hours ago, Orestd said: I will try and do a video of what happens. Note that video is definitely the second best option. If you can record and share a short track, that's usually *much* more helpful. Now, the general advice in any such case of total weirdness (trying if the problem persists after every step): a) remove and uninstall any and all mods b) repair DCS World c) rename Saved Games\DCS (or Saved Games\DCS.openbeta) and try with a completely blank configuration (you can later delete the newly created Saved Games\DCS and rename your original one back in order to get your full configuration back) In this particular case, I would still double and triple check that your Weapon Release button is not mapped to any other controller and that it isn't stuck and/or sending random signals.

Ok Thank you. I will try it again and see what happens . If it happens again I will video record it. Thank you for your help. Edited July 15, 2023 by Orestd
