felixx75 Posted February 26 Posted February 26 It seems that it is currently not possible to change the laser code of a GBU-54 in the A-10C II. The corresponding box is missing in the rearm/refuel window and in contrast to the AV8, for example, you cannot change any codes in the kneeboard of the A-10C (unless I have overlooked it).

Solution Flying-Kane Posted February 26 Solution Posted February 26 Hi felixx75, the GBU-54 (Laser JDAM) can be programmed in the cockpit, no need to set the laser code on the ground. GBU-12 is a dumb bomb without any databus, ground crew has to set the laser code on the ground. 3 1 AMD Ryzen 7 5800X | 32GB DDR4 RAM | NVidia RTX4080 | MSI B550 TOMAHAWK | Creative X-Fi Titanium | Win 10 Pro 64bit | Track IR4 Pro | Thrustmaster Warthog | Thrustmaster TPR Pedals

I tried this Sunday and again today, and could not locate where in the DSMS or Profile pages for the GBU-54 to change the code. I see the code in the center of the profile menu for the 54, but there wasn't an option to change it. Where should I be looking? I am not new to the A10, just haven't used the 54 much since it can't triple rack so it wasn't my first choice.

As far as I know, it's still possible to set the laser codes for these weapons from the cockpit. Realistically, we just shouldn't be using this option.
ASAP Posted March 22 Posted March 22 You dont change it in the profile, you change it in the inventory when you load it. Also, it can only be changed in DSMS if their is the right fuse built into the bomb, which DCS always simulates. There are certain builds of the bomb where you cannot change it in the cockpit and it will only guide to what is set on the nose.
