Hi,
Using a wpt to hit a target with jdam in PP mode.

TGT elevation is 443ft.

- first test with 3000ft elevation and good hit instead of a very long impact.

- second test with 50ft elevation and good hit again instead of a short impact.

Hey,

Couldn't replay your track so re-created my own.

First one has mere 3000 feet for STPT 2. Second one is more extreme, where the STPT 2 is set at 20 000 feet and I pickle from about 40 000 feet. nullAlso attached a screenshot showing the difference in coordinates when bomb in flight is at around 20 000 feet (so basically when it should have already hit its "target" at the STPT 2 coordinates/elevation.

I suppose this is related to the absolute/relative targeting of JDAMs, but as you said, it seems altitude is completely ignored in bombs-at-coordinates situation.
