cannot produce and mssing track file Multiple JDAM release

[GTFreeFlyer]

Hi, I was playing around last night with dropping multiple GBU 38’s at the same time on different targets.  I had two stations with two bombs each. I stepped through each station and said it to TOO mode and did the WP designate on one station, stepped to the next station and another WP designate. This was for TOO1 on each station. I did not touch TOO2.  Everything went according to plan except for when I pickled, all four bombs were released when I thought only two would release. Both targets were struck by two bombs each. What did I do wrong? Was I supposed to go into TOO2 screen and undesignate each station?  I guess I assumed that no target would have been selected for the second bomb on each rack if I never went to the TOO 2 screen in the first place.

 

To summarize, I selected two targets and only wanted two bombs to release, but four bombs went for the gravity ride instead.

First of all, you are right, if you pickle, only 2 bombs (one from each station) should release. 
However, the second bomb on that rack is not linked to TOO2 by any means. The whole dual rack got programmed for TOO1. So the only way I see, that the second bombs were released also is if you accidentially pickled twice while you were still in LAR. Or maybe your controller sends multiple weapons release signals?

Other than that it would be a bug. Could you reproduce the behavior?

Thank you for the response.  I haven’t had a chance to try it again.  I was suspecting that perhaps the pickle switch bounced and sent another release command, so I was happy to see you suspected this as well.  I hope to be able to run some more tests this weekend to really understand how it all works.   Thank you.
