Training mission: Guided Munition

[Rocky49]

Is there a problem with this Training Mission? I have done a search of the forums but can't seem to find any mention of problems...I can drop the 12s but the 38 will not drop.

You have to hold down the weapon release button for something like a full two seconds for JDAM's (GBU-31 and GBU-38 ).

I hold the release button down for more than 2 seconds in fact I hold the release button for up to 45 seconds.....approaching level flight...the ASL never falls...

Are you sure you properly designated a SPI through the TGP?

I think so. the HUD shows TGP in lower left so I am assuming the system is set up right..

[mtuckner]

Well, you need to make sure you have the TGP on the target, then do TMS up long. The tadpole from your TVV should point straight down towards the target as you approach indicating that it is in front and below you. If it is pointing to the left or right it might still be set to your steerpoint or last target. Look for the wedding cake symbol to be over your target on the TAD to be sure.

With the 38 you only press the weapons release button when you get the "man rel" on the left side of the hud, maybe youre pressing it too late or early? I'm no expert but i never fail with the 38s and thats what i do..

He said the cue never drops, that makes me think the SPI was not designated correctly. I can't think of why else.

He dosen't want the cue to drop does he? rather the ticker in the reticule to unwind

Guys:

 

checked over my controller and found a slightly loose confection between the cables on my X52 Pro...redrew the mission just now and all is working right now....the only thing I wonder about is that the 3rd and 4th when I lock them up with tms up long the view does not go to area and then point but the system does track and the targets are hit. any idea why that would happen...I even unlocked and then reset the spi and lock up the targets

[mtuckner]

You can set the SPI to that point where the TGP is looking without doing area or point tracking. It is a separate function, setting the SPI, than what operational mode the TGP is in.

You are right, I crossed wires on what bomb he was having trouble with.
