LGB-FLIR strike guide

Post by Lion » Thu Aug 08, 2019 9:15 am

Hey everyone,

Despite some good videos on using the Litening targeting pod with laser-guided bombs, there still seems to be some confusion. Here is a simple checklist:

1- Master Arm to ARM.
2- Master Mode to AG.
3- Select an LGB (LG82, LG83, or LG84) from the SMS page.
4- Set LGB MODE to AUTO (PB 5). Will show as CCIP until Target Point is set.
5- Set LGB MFUZ to OFF (PB 4).
6- Set LGB EFUZ to INST (PB 3).
7- Set LGB CODE to 1688 (or any valid code that matches the pod code) (PB 1 and then UFC)
8- FLIR switch on SNSR panel to ON.
9- LTD/R switch on SNSR panel to ARM.
10- Display FLIR on DDI/MPCD (FLIR at PB 6 on TAC page).
11- Sensor Control Switch (SCS) in direction of the display with FLIR. For example: if FLIR is on the right DDI, press SCS right. TDC assignment indicated by diamond in top/right corner.
12- Slew FLIR crosshair over target using TDC slew [, . / ;].
13- Designate FLIR pointing location as Target Point by pressing [ENTER] or depress TDC switch. Attack mode switches from CCIP to AUTO with ASL and Target Point on HUD.
14- Enable (box) TRIG (PB 11) on FLIR page.
15- Ensure FLIR UFC CODE matches LGB CODE.
16- Conduct standard LGB AUTO attack. Line up velocity vector with ASL and hold down weapon release button [RALT + Spacebar] shortly before bomb fall line passes through the velocity vector.
17- At 15 seconds before Time To Impact (TTI), press and hold trigger button [Spacebar] to fire the laser. In general, conduct attack between 20-25k at no less than 350kts.

Not sure if the AUTO release mode is still bugged, but I did confirm with several runs that the AUTO release cue with a 10 degree nose down attitude will consistently get a good hit on the lased target. You don't have to remain nose down, level off after the pickle.
