Since the 2.9 update the JDAMS in the A-10C 2 do not align after a cold start. They constantly say ALN UNS in the DSMS. I have tried all the different alignments and re-loading the DSMS before and after alignments. Nothing seems to fix this.

I guess I'm bringing GBU-12s on my missions. Are they unusable?

Unless you hot start the mission in DCS 2.9.0.46801 Open Beta, you'll be flying with un-aligned very expensive paper weights. Get good with non-GPS weapons or switch back to DCS 2.8.8.43704 Open Beta.

I haven't tested this yet, but GBU-12s are laser guided and don't require any kind of INS alignment (that I'm aware of), much less GPS. They should be extremely adequate until the JDAMs are fixed.

Same as for the A-10C II.

You are correct, as far as the jet is concerned a GBU-12 is a dumb bomb. the only interaction the jet has with the bomb is a few clamps in the MAU hold onto a pair of rings, which in turn pulls the pins which release the fins and power up the seeker as the weapon falls away from the jet. There is never any data passed between the aircraft and the bomb, and the bomb doesn't know or care where it is in time or space. after it is released and the computer powers up, it just moves the fins to keep the laser spot in the center of its field of view and does that all the way until impact. Its actually a very stupid "smart weapon".

Just want to plus one this haha, I noticed this on the hoggit training server last night when I got to the range, thought I did something wrong with my INS alignment. Good to know it wasn't just me.

Thought I knew how to use selective jettison to get rid of the expensive paperweights, but instead wound up dropping everything before I even hit my first target, oops....

Fixed.   Back to the old bug of the bombs can fall asleep (turn white on DSMS), and a violent airframe maneuver (like an aileron roll) will wake them up (turn green).

"Fixed in 2.9.0.47168 Open Beta"

Not for me.  At least not in Steam MT VR.  GBU-31 & -38 keep bouncing between green "Ready" and white "ALN RDY".  😞

Edit: the white/green is just the Master Arm status.  Not part of the bug.

Still happening after Steam install file verification of .47168 Open Beta.  Only happens if starting the mission on the ramp or runway.  Starting airborne is fine.  9-19 minutes after engine start -38's trip and show "ALN RDY" whatever that means.

I was actually trying to just be really efficient turning into the target about 8nm out.  A high altitude bomb run isn't that exciting. 🙂
