SoooooooooooooâŠThey added the GBU-54, which is nice, but you can only carry 4 unlike the GBU-38 which you can carry 10 I do believe. The 54 is just a nose seeker addition as far as externals go which means its the same bomb for carry purposes as the 38. Therefore I would think it should also be able to load 10 54s.
I think they just havenât gotten around to it yet. It seems to be pretty rare to see GBU-38/54 loaded on TERs in the real world.
ETA: found this:
âITER racks are currently implemented and can only carry one GBU. DITER racks, when they become modelled and implemented into DCS world, will be added when the DITER become available.â
Sweet! Nice catch. thatâs interesting though, since the 38 still has a 3 carry option.
Welp looks like Im shelving the Harrier for a bit.
Mavericks are being a PITA. Canât get the 65Fs to lock on anything, I canât even get sta 2 65 to uncage. lol
Looks like others are having issues with the new 65F as well.
Kind of a shame, I like the Harrier when I get bored of the hog.
I just tried the AGM-65E and AGM-65F and had no issues.
I should try a different loadout. My issues happen after l
Dropping 4x 38s. Maybe itâs a jdam issue.
It wouldnât surprise me because Iâve been seeing a lot of reports of problems with Harrier and JDAM.
One of the ED reports has the JDAM throwing off one of the other systems, I forget which one off hand but itâs a recent and easy to find thread on the ED forums Av8 section.
I checked this as well and 4xGBU-38s dropped in TOO mode, then moved to AGM-65F and had no issues.
ETA: However, at night, they will not acquire.
I flew during the day, I dropped in Pre Planned via Markpoints imported to the jet.
I need to try in TOO mode, but I am not proficient with the TGP on the harrier yet.
It appears that @Chuck_Owl has updated the guide to 2.7 and it is available again, somehow I totally missed this.

edit: just saw Chuck posted it in another thread.
RAZBAM really needs to send Chuck Owl a fruit basket
At the very least they should gift him free copies of their modules.
Compared to what it would cost them if they paid someone to do that? Peanuts.
Since Chuck isnât reviewing it thereâs no question of conflict of interest.
As a rule, I donât want free copies, and I tell that to every dev that offers.
Things are always âdifferentâ when there is some sort of transaction involved.
And kissing isnât allowed. Iâve never understood that one.
Send them my way- for âtestingâ purposesâŠ
Iâll make a few free liveries and design a patch!
Arise ye that may never die!
Been flying this a bit lately, itâs a sweet jet. That canopy is indeed almost as good as the vipersâ. Mayhaps even better.
Its just sublime. Low level, flat out, under 100 feet, upside down. Love it.
I need to stop flying the Hind and jump back into the Harrier and Viggen and play amongst the trees
