"GPS Mode not selected" what to do?
When using GPS Guided Munitions, even if I specifically edit each Pylon to GPS or DUAL Mode, after launching the following error message displays: "GPS MODE NOT SELECTED. WEAPONS GUIDANCE WILL BE DISABLE OR TURN TO OWN GUIDANCE" How do I enable GPS Mode then if not through the Pylon Edit? Did I do something wrong? Appreciate any help!

There should be a new fire mode. Make sure to go through your available weapons and select the guided bomb with the "I-TGT Mode" on it. itl say I-TGT on the HUD, and itl show a similar icon to the top down missile icon on the top right weapon select display. once this is selected and youve designated the target through the I-TGT (And selected the pylon in the list, and the target, and sent both to the FCS) it should drop with GPS mode and aquire the target

Thank you, that helped a lot. However, the Storm Shadows still do not lock on, as they don't have the top-down missile mode, which is sad because that is one of my favourite weapons from the mod,

It depends on the weapon, some of them have the second mode, some don't. For example, the SLAM-ER Cruise missiles do have it. You select them once, and then press the switch weapon button again so the little symbol that would ususally come up for "top down" attack mode from e.g. the Titan missiles appears in the weapon selection. That means they'll be guided.


The Storm Shadow problem still exists though, they don't have a top-down symbol for GPS mode.

When you select the weapon, on the top right you see the name and above it the line where usually the fire mode (Semi, Burst, Full Auto, Direct fire and Top-Down) is displayed. When you properly set up the GPS points in the Targeting System and bound each missile to a Point, you need to press F when the missile is selected to a symbol similar to the "Top-Down Attack" of Titan and similar is being shown. When you fire them then, they should track the GPS point.
