The cluster bomb explosion error has been fixed...

In default FA the cluster bomb explosion effect would only work if the bomb hit the ground. If it hit the actual target it would not show the CBU effects, just destroy the target instead...

Well, using the proximity fuse effect, coupled with some other changes, I have been able to cure this issue and make the cluster bomb effect explosion go off no matter if your bomb hits the actual target or the ground...

So, no matter if you hit it dead on or not, the CBU effect will always go off! :D

So has anyone used the CBU effect to mimic "steel rain" arty?

Yes of course there is, as the explosion is taking place father away... What do you have the effective Collateral Damage radius of the weapon and what percentage?

So, how did you get the CBU bomb effects to work at 1000 ft above the ground?

My solution wont work like that...

hey cag i made the SG-357 Bomblets ordnance and it works beautifully...ill post a video soon. Just need a shape file for the bomblets...do you have any??? or is there any stock shapes i can use?? i can't think of any...btw i decided not to use proximity for this ordnance, just for CBUs.

I have no idea what you are talking about... lol... Do you mean for the JP233? Not sure how this applies. I already created a JP233 dispensor that drops these muntions, parchutes and all. They are contact weapons, so they dont need proximity fuses?

Are you talking about using the CBU explosion effect for the area denial mines? Or?

Can you please elaborate, as this string is about using the DEFAULT CBU explosion effect and fixing its ingame error...

Don't worry about it anymore, i was looking for JP233 munitions shape/textures files... im using the mk83.sh for now. btw CAG can you upload a video about your CBU weapon? or maybe some good screenshots?

Here are screenshots of my JP233 bomblets being dropped on a runway... I made these back in 2004...

You can even see the shadow of the parachute on the ground as the bomblets float down...

And a closeup of the bomblets themselves, dropping under parachutes...

As for screenshots of the standard CBU explosion, that hasnt changed. The only difference is that the explosion effects now work even if the bomb itself hits the target instead of the ground, as in default FA those effects only worked if you missed your target and the bomb hit the ground...

Do you really need screenshots for that? I can post some if necessary...

Post subject:  Re: CBU explosion error solved...
nice screenshots CAG i really like the shadows...JP233 bomblets look pretty darn good too. As for the CBU i don't need the screenshots i thought you meant your CBU would explode in midair which would then release the bomblets...like Jane's f-15.

Ah, I see... Well that COULD be possible if I could crack the code for the CBU ejection sequence so it rains the bomblets above the ground instead of after it hit the ground OR alter the ejection sequence, and change it into a CBU bomb sequence and alter the shape...

Also CAG have you created a TV guided bomb or missile? I think it would be cool if that was possible. i mean with the laser/optical guidance you can switch targets but you cant really steer.
