LGBs not releasing
-
Messing around in a campaign with GBU12s.
Master arm on
Laser on
Combat laser
Target in TGP locked and laser ranged
Flying around 450kts (but have tried less)
Flying around 8000ft (clouds)
Ignore first cue
Pickle hold at 2nd cueCue travels toward FPM but never quite gets there?
Is it the altitude?
I’ve tried level and a shallow diveI managed to get one away and it hit but the other 5 just never came off the rail as the cue never reached the FPM
Any clues? Thank you
-
Pickle and hold for several seconds before 2nd cue comes down and have at least 1g on the airplane.

If the cue never gets there, that means you never get inside release parameters. How tightly are you flying the steering cues?

Maybe I’m off centre a bit. Will try again soon

Seems I must have been a bit off centre. Dropped 2, hit 2 ZSUs then downed by a SAM admiring the TGP.
It was sweet seeing the gun fire coming towards me, turning away and seeing the impact, not so sweet getting immediately shot down.

Yeah, that happens. CCRP can be a bit fiddly, you need to follow the cues very closely. It’s no different from dumb bombs in that regard.

EDIT: Ignore this question thanks - trial and error pointed to me not having a higher enough airspeeD.

Hi Dragon - week old member - got to CCIP training mission with dummy bombs - can’t get the bombs to leave the rails consistently even though I am trying to fly the same approach. First pair no worries - then with same set up (as far as I can judge) pickle but no release. Using training manual guidance.
Didn’t want to start a new thread for what I am sure is a rookie error on my part - with you mentioning dumb bombs - is there any things I might be doing wrong you can advise I check please?
Thanks
