Ramses823 Posted July 18, 2024 Posted July 18, 2024 I notice there is a problem with the GBU-31 v 3/b. When you go to profile page in the DSMS, it won't allow you to make any profile adjustments, and the profile page is missing a lot of information that should be there, this is not a issue with the GBU-31 (v) 1/b. If you look at the pictures I have you can see the difference between the two GBU-31 profile pages...

Or does the DSMS not accept any inputs you make for the 3/B? 6 hours ago, Ramses823 said: and the profile page is missing a lot of information that should be there Good point, that looks like an omission. When I last checked this, none of these profile settings had any effect on a GBU-38, and I would assume the GBU-31 would be similar. Impact azimuth and angle as well as a SPI waypoint were all ignored and the bomb always used the same trajectory on the aircraft's SPI. It looks like all these settings are still WIP, unless there were any (potentially undocumented) changes somewhere down the road.

The (v) 3/b is definitely missing a lot of info that should be there, I know you said that impact angle doesn't have any effect on the GBU-38, so more than likely it doesn't effect the GBU-31 either but when I go to (CHG SET) on the 3/b and try to imput IMP ANG or IMP AZ data it doesn't accept the data at all then it gets stuck on the GBU-31 page I have to cycle the MFD page out of the DSMS before I can do anything else with the MFD, definitely strange behavior...
