ericinexile Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) • Laser guided bombs can now be released without TGP on board. Does this mean that the pave penny is now functional?

Eddie Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 What has being able to release LGBs without a TGP fitted got to do with Pave Penny?

159th_Viper Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Negative - TISL not functional. As it states, GBU-10/12 can now be dropped via CCIP/CCRP without TGP on aircraft - not possible in 1.1.0.9. Novice or Veteran looking for an alternative MP career?

ericinexile Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) What I meant by the question is can I receive a laser signature and drop on it without a TGP? Without TISL I didn't think this was possible. Thanks for the responses.

Nate--IRL-- Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 You can't but the bomb can, if that makes sense. If the bomb is dropped and it sees the correct laser coded illumination it will attempt to guide toward that point.

Thanks for the responses. You will drop the LGB like you would a dumb bomb (either by CCIP or CCRP). During the fall the bomb will look out for the assigned laser code and will try to guide itself to the target if such laser is found. If not, the bomb continue to fall as a dumb bomb.

Without TISL I didn't think this was possible. Thanks for the responses. Your Buddy will be lasing your target/SPI so in theory if done correctly your bomb will track and impact on target. Essentially gives you a fire-and-forget capability with your Buddy at stand-off range. Novice or Veteran looking for an alternative MP career?

ericinexile Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 Great. Thanks. My initial question was due to an interest on my part to "dumb" the jet down to a A-10A using HARS and TISL. Of course there is no practical reason to do this other than to acquaint myself with lower levels of sophistication. So I was a little excited at the prospect of a working Pave Penny. I certainly appreciate the desire not to devote resources to modeling a little used system when there is so much else on the ToDo list. Still, t would be nice to see it someday. I think it would make for some interesting missions. Smokin' Hole My DCS wish list: Su25, Su30, Mi24, AH1, F/A-18C, Afghanistan ...and frankly, the flight sim world should stop at 1995.
