JDAMs on 2BR (BRU-55/57)

[Kyot54 2]

I'm tryign to figure out how to configure 2BR/BRU-55s to allow carriage of 2 1000 lbs JDAMs (GBU-32). I can't figure out what I need to change. I have gotten it to carry two GBU-16s

I don't think it's possible at all to carry GPS-guided bombs on 2BRs, TERs or MERs.

Explain this then:

Aren't these GBU-54s? They're set in the .inis as LGBs (and in real life they're dual mode GPS/laser guided bombs). Try to do the same with GBU-38s and make sure they're set as GPS guided bombs in the .inis.

First make sure the figures in BRU-55 data.ini you have can carry the weight and dimensions of the 2x JDAM in question. A 2br or ter will not carry a GPS guided weapon (EOGB) if loaded at the loadout screen. However if loaded via the loadout.ini file and not changed at the loadout screen it will. Eg:

Loadout[03].WeaponType=GBU-38
Loadout[03].Quantity=2
Loadout[03].RackType=BRU-55

Really busy tonight @kblomkvist with stuff and just dived into here.  Yes, GBU-54s and LGBs.  I will try to do a test of GBU-38s soon.  

[Also worth noting: The screenshot was from beta testing where I found an excess fuel external tank ;-).  Stuff like that drives me bonkers.]

Yup, that's how I programmed the -54s into the F-2A.  Will try the GBU-38 when able.  

Arguably, if this works for the F-2A it should work easily for the F-16 which in the real world does carry multiple -38s on a pylon.

Longd story short.i've changed some gps bombs into free falling eogrs and ters and brus into missile rails. Not perfect but AI is dropping jdams anytime with nice aquracy.

I can confirm that it works which is quite new for me. You never stop learning 

You can't load GBU-38s on BRU-55 via the loadout window but you can create a preset in the loadout.ini file and it would work fine.
