reported F-18 GBUs 24 dont drop

[Riclourenco]

Hello,

Since the last update DCS 2.9.5.55300, I am unable to drop GBU-24 bombs from the F-18. In addition to updating the fuses on the ME, is there any new procedure on the plane to arm the GBUs?

Thank you

Hi @Riclourenco,

can you please post a short track as I am able to drop it in 2.9.5.55300?

Hello,

I think I understand what's going on. Yesterday, before starting to drop the GBUs24, and after having them armed, I dropped the external fuel tank from the center.  Afterwards, the GBUs24 were not released. Only the laser was activated. Today I did a training mission, and when I dropped the first GBU24 everything went well. But then I remembered the detail of the fuel tank, and decided to let it fall. After that I tried to drop the second GBU24, and the same thing happened. The bomb did not fall, and only the laser was activated. After that I decided to turn the  GBU24, A/G mode, and master arm, all to off. I turned on the A/G mode and the GBUs again, and  I tried to drop them again and they all fell and hit the target (the remaining 3). I don't know if it's supposed to be this way, but I send a track with the situation described above.

Thanks
