I couldn’t figure out how to drop JDAMs from planes don’t have targeting pod at all

2

Aim your aircraft and press the “Activate Target Point” button. Red box will appear. Ready to drop

well, some planes like F16A in French tree can’t use that function. other planes works fine

All planes with CCRP can use that function, I don’t think there is a single 11.0+ jet that can’t

The belgian F16A can’t because it does not have CCRP so the jdam are just dead weight on it.

I think for that planes in particular there might be a really finicky way around that, but I don’t know if it will work for JDAMs. You will need to use a GBU-8/AGM-65 and go inside the camera and lock onto the ground where you want to designate and that should activate a target point, however idk if JDAMs will guide on it.

The Belgian F-16A might just be either bugged because it lists CCRP but has no SPI function, or it isn’t supposed to have CCRP at all. I think it has been reported already but it might be worth reporting again as it makes using the JDAMs impossible otherwise.
