Fly toward target
Find target with ground radar
Designate target
Make FLIR SOI
Fine tune FLIR track and designate target with FLIR (lose radar lock when FLIR lock is established)
Ensure ALAS is set
Manual says I SHOULD get a drop countdown in HUD but, I do not
Drop bomb using kentucky windage
ALAS says it fires
Bomb misses

I know I am screwing something up but, I can not recall what it is. I used to be able to do this, no problem.

Do you actually have an LGB selected?

You have to turn the laser on as well. I don't recall what the key command is mapped to but you have to toggle the laser on. That is unless you have a FAC or other A/C painting it for you.

I use ALAS mode and do see the laser active after the bomb separates.

On the SMS-page of the GBU, have you selected Auto under MODE instead of man(ual)?

I tried both. I missed both ways.

Can someone list the steps that use to get a good shack so I can try to mimic your procedure?

Thanks!

Out of curiosity, isn't it better for these...

Select AUTO (CCRP) mode
Master Arm ON

to happen way earlier in the process? Like some where in step 1-3?

Hard to argue with your results though...

Also, how do you have a CCRP steering line provided if the radar lock is broken?

I THOUGHT that was provided by the radar?

Gonna try your method tonight when I get home from work tonight.

Yeah it would be better, but consider it more of a final check than anything.

The target locked by the FLIR is providing targeting data for the CCRP steering line.
