As the title suggests, is it possible to get a GPS only mode for F&F guided bombs that have GPS?
As of now, multiple release of F&F bombs doesn’t work and each bomb must be released separately, but on bombs, that already have GPS guidance, can we disable guidance and multiple launch them in GPS mode only, like other nonF&F bombs?

Not yet.
I made a suggestion for SAL+GNSS to be taken without a Tpod, and then you could use them as pure GNSS.
But I might make one for a “seeker toggle” to turn any IR/TV+GNSS weapon into only GNSS as well.

Please do. I wanna be able to use my 250 hammers as GNSS without having to switch loadouts.
That would be helpfull.
also if they lose visual lock, wouldn’t they be able to realistically go towards the GPS location as a backup instead of just crashing/flying indefinitely?
You already can? or is that only for missiles
You can? You sure? (I havent got access to any SAL+GNSS Missiles)
Though its more about bombs than missiles.
Bombs you definetly cant.
Wouldn’t even really need a toggle. Just set it to transition to a point lock at x distance from the position, if there’s still a thing there set it to a track lock. Wouldn’t really improve the efficacy that much, most IR munitions with GNSS are slow at the extended ranges GNSS would benefit them. It’d just link it into salvo functionality.
Also I have validated the behaviour with 38ml. It does not require a targeting pod. But it behaves pretty weirdly so I’m not sure it is intended, though works a bit too well to be accidental.
