Title: GBU-10 guided bombs
Post by barney on Feb 23rd, 2011 at 9:52pm
Here is the GBU-10 code:

                                            (this part goes in the weapon section of the xml)

<Weapon>
           <Gun>GBU-10</Gun>
           <Shell>GBU-10</Shell>
           <Unlimited>1</Unlimited>
           <Station name="LeftWingOuter" params="-5,0,0,0,-0.039,0,1" />
           <Station name="LeftWingInner" params="-2,0,0,0,-0.039,0,1" />
           <Station name="RightWingInner" params="2,0,0,0,-0.039,0,1" />
           <Station name="RightWingOuter" params="5,0,0,0,-0.039,0,1" />
           <Mode name="TRACK" setshots="1" shotrate="0.5" sequence="1,2,3,4" reset="0" />
           <DefaultMode>TRACK</DefaultMode>
       </Weapon>

                                (this part goes in the shell section)


</Gun>
       <Gun>
           <Type>MissileLauncher</Type>
           <Name>GBU-10</Name>
           <Desc>GBU-10 Guided bomb</Desc>
           <HudString>AS</HudString>
           <Pix />
           <ConeAngle>0.005</ConeAngle>
           <TargetRange>106000</TargetRange>
           <MinRange>2000</MinRange>
           <MaxGForce>3</MaxGForce>
           <Delay>0.0</Delay>
           <FxFire />
           <Shell>
               <Name>GBU-10</Name>
               <Desc>GBU-10 Guided Bomb</Desc>
               <HudString>GBU-10</HudString>
               <Pix />
               <Container>CS_Weapon_GBU-10</Container>
               <Weight>2000.0</Weight>
               <TargetWeight>50000</TargetWeight>
               <Lifetime>99.0</Lifetime>
               <CtrLifetime>99.0</CtrLifetime>
               <Efficiency>1.0</Efficiency>
               <RadiusRatio>1.0</RadiusRatio>
               <DragCoeff>0.18</DragCoeff>
               <OpArea>0.015</OpArea>
               <GravCoeff>1.0</GravCoeff>
               <InitSpeed>0</InitSpeed>
               <EngThrust>0</EngThrust>
               <ThrustDuration>.0</ThrustDuration>
               <TurnRate>0.2</TurnRate>
               <SteerDelay>1.0</SteerDelay>
               <SeekerAngle>3.1416</SeekerAngle>
               <SelfDestrTime>60.0</SelfDestrTime>
           </Shell>

These behave like an air to surface missile but without an engine. I found they work best when dropped from about 7000ft and 5nm or less from target.

                                                                                    Regards Barney.

Barney,

I have typed in your code for the bombs but I do not get any.

Does the code need to be put in a specific place within the xml file or can it be just added after the last entry, and do I select 'bombs' to use even if it is entered as a Missile launcher?

I get the GBU-10 on the HUD but do not get any dropping bombs.

Any help or things to check as I have not edited xml before.

Hello, by the sound of it you have got it at least 1/2 right as you have them appearing in the hud. Guided bombs are like missiles in that you need to lock them onto a target and to use them you must be in missile mode. When you have them on the hud do you get the range coming up?

Barney,

Thanks for the code for the GBU_10, I installed it and it works...with one little caveat though, I need to set FSX "realism" on "ignore crashes and damages" otherwise my plane crashes as soon as the missile is out (i.e. if I set realism on "detect crashes and damages"). Thanks again for sharing, have agreat weekend.

Johan,  i think the problem lies in the positioning of the stations, these lines here:

          <Station name="LeftWingOuter" params="-5,0,0,0,-0.039,0,1" />
          <Station name="LeftWingInner" params="-2,0,0,0,-0.039,0,1" />
          <Station name="RightWingInner" params="2,0,0,0,-0.039,0,1" />
          <Station name="RightWingOuter" params="5,0,0,0,-0.039,0,1" />

If you play around with the first 4 numbers so the bombs appear outside of the aircraft you will overcome this issue.        
                                                                Regards  Barney.

Barney,

Sorry for the delay in replying.

Yes it all works now as you suggested, I did need to be in 'missile' and locked on.

Thanks for the help.

Pete

Where is the actual GBU-10 Model!?! :o

It is downloadable here at www.flightsim.com as part of a weapons package.

The GBU-10 bomb model is actually included in the CS Weapon for FSX application. Look in sim objects/ misc and you should find the folder.  

                                                                       Regards Barney.

It's in the aircraft folder (E.G. SimObjects\Aircraft\CS_F18\CSWeapon.xml)

Thx. I'll have to wait, since the computer with FSX on it is broken right now  :'( , And We had to bust out the Super old desktop.

I'm sorry to hear that your FSX computer has died. :( I hope you get it fixed soon and that it doesn't cost too much either.

Well, Its broken, and It would cost as much to get another Computer, so We're going to buy a new one, and transfer the Data. The Motherdrive got fried in the other one.
