@canuck Hello. I also have same question and I surf the web and I see your posting.
I think it has some limitation about launching. I set GBU53’s mode from IR to Laser in editor but it doesn’t work. And I find GBU39 has visual guidance and 53 has IR guidance in editor. I think GBU 53 has no traking guidance against moving target. It just dummy I think.You should take the LJDAM as an example (GBU-54). It’s not just the normal guidance, but also the pointers. Haven’t played BMS for a while and haven’t moded it since a while either. Might be that GBU-53 already works like the LJDAM, check the settings on the SMS page.

@scorpion82 Yes…might be… but I check my SMS , there has no set up for that bomb. Just have azimuth and angle for attack.

I have checked the editor from the launch menu. GBU-53 seems to be implemented like the GBU-39, that means no dual-mode guidance. The WType in the Sim Weapons Data is set to GPS, no LJDAM. There are also other differences, such as the 3rd Gen LGB field not being ticked in the Weapon Data. It would need to be elaborated whether the Weapon Guidance can be changed without having an adverse effect on anything else. The SDBs are classified as A2G and not as “dumb a$$ bomb” like the GBU-54 LJDAM.
