GBU-24 Paveway III don't offload

Hi there,

In the live scenario "Aegean in Flames" there are some aircraft with GBU-24 Paveway III loadouts. When I direct the aircraft to there target, the bombs don't offload directly when the are in weapon range. Even the altitude is good enough. Sometimes the make a round around the target and then they offload the payload. Sometimes nothing happens. The targets are runways.

Does anyone know more about this?

Regards
Riekelt

I haven't played the scenario, so I can't comment on your particular issue. However, if you have clouds over the target, It can affect the ability to get a solution for an LGB. Is that the case here?

thanks for the quick comment. Yes there are moderate clouds, so maybe that's the problem.

If you ever have an issue with a weapon not firing, I'd recommend that you try manually controlling weapons release (I think the hotkey is Ctrl+F1). It should usually give a reason why the weapon can't fire.
