@Dvdlpt That's exactly what it's doing--adding them as waypoints in a new flight plan. It's a matter of convenience. The other method is switching to MARK mode and using the markpoints as steerpoints. The difference being, it isn't packaged as part of a flight plan then. But it's up to you which method you like more.

@Hardmetal1993 The Boat Switch is a 3 way switch that basically just changes the video format of you TGP ( Targetting Pod ) Forward is FLIR black hot, Aft is FLIR white hot, and Center is the CCD. It can also change the symbol color on the Maverick video, as well as force the Maverick into Force Correlate mode.

@Hardmetal1993 DMS (Data Management Switch ) is a 4 way hat that controls different functions depending what the SOI ( Sensor of Interest ) is. It can be used to Increase TAD scales, change Steerpoints, cycle weapon rails, increase TGP zoom, toggle the Laser among other things. Basically its function depends on what the current SOI is and if it is quickly pressed or held.
@z06jake14 жыл бұрын
@Hardmetal1993 China Hat is a 2 way switch that again depends on what the SOI is currently. It controls TAD, Maverick, and TGP (Targeting Pod ) FOV, can reset sensors to boresight, Slave all systems to the SPI ( Sensor Point of Interest ), Slave the TGP to your current steerpoint, and uncage the AIM-9 missile.

Based on your other video explaining the guided bomb drops using the TGP there is a bit of a difference where you showed using mark points to target with and without laser. I am going to assume that it wouldn't hurt to designate mark points using TGP with lase on to do this. Great video btw I learn from them 10X faster than trying to use the manual. Thank you!

@Jixxer87 You want to HOLD DOWN the pickle button until the JDAM drops. Tapping it will cause a hung store every time. You can tell that it dropped properly when its block in the DSMS turns white--let go of the button at that time. When you get a "MAN REL" indication on the left of the HUD, that's when you're in your window to release. Refer to page 375 of the manual for the CCRP IAM HUD reference.

@TwistedComplex GBU-12s are laser guided. You have to track the target with the targeting pod and lase it after releasing the bomb. So you can only engange one target at a time.

@jerry015 It will automatically maintain the steerpoint as SPI unless you tell it otherwise. If you move to a different SPI you would then use TMS aft to set SPI back to the steerpoint.

It is matter of taste, but I prefer using CDU repeater in one of MFDs and UFC instead of looking down at CDU display and using its keyboard. Looking down can hurt situational awareness badly. Also, it is possible to get away without creating flight plan. You just need to create mark points and then switch AAP STEERPOINT DIAL to MARK or press FUNC+MARK on UFC. Then you will be able to iterate through mark points just like through ordinary waypoints.

Could you set up a ripple sequence and drop all of your ordnance simultaneously, provided the target window contains all of your targets? That would reduce your workload and increase the number of bombs you could get off.

Big big Thank for this very usefull Clip!! 2 Questions i do have after watching the clip: 1. Do did mentioned about"selecting target? i mean; do i have to prees China Hat"long" again after turne FP to Markpoint? or GBU are then "knows" 2. after all markpoints & GBUs (CCRP) are set, do i need to "keep pressing Trigger" to release those selected bombs? or just sit and wait to "cycle"A-B & C through only? in Clip you said; bombs release as same a s the time we "selecting!" markpoint by T-Pod
@commandosolo200913 жыл бұрын
Hi ehs, now you did this with the GBU 31 or 38 (GPS guided munition), but laser GBUs don't follow the same principle, specially if the targets are too far apart. I like 20000 feet AGL as a release point, heck I even do a circle around the targets and to my surprise, they're only moving when the missile or bomb hits one of them *weird*

This is really cool. But I still enjoy the A-10C in Arma2 more. You approach the targets with your mavs out, tab to a target, fire, tab, fire, tab, fire, boom boom boom, and egress. Mission complete! I wonder if a similar arcade mode for a DCS is available. Of course, it misses the point of the ultimate learning sim... Just flicking all these switches and rattling off all these acronyms is a different level of fun in itself

Great video, but I have one issue. After I designate my points and add them into the CDU, when i try to recall the information and slew my TGP to the current steerpoint, the TGP is slightly off, it is always a little bit to the side of the target units that I previously designated. Any thoughts?

now it looks like you were using the ccrp since it looked like a computed release point you were doing, i didnt see whether or not you were in a 9 mil or 3/5 whateever the hell its called which i understand is characteristic of the ccrp, but my question to you is that i thought in order for the ccrp to be successful i thought the bomb line had to either stay in the pipper or at least stay in the reticle based on what ccrp mode you were using? or is that not the case with the jdams?
@GeFlixes8 жыл бұрын
1. When it's important/there's a choice in submode, look at the bottom left in the HUD, there it tells you whetever you're in 5mil or 3/9. 2. Guided munitions are generally always released in 3/9 mode, because there's no need for the accuracy provided by the 5mil mode. 3. Bomb line in the pipper is best for accuracy in 3/9, especially when there's not much of free fall time for the bomb to correct itself on the target. However, the bomb line doen't even need to be in the HUD when releasing in 3/9 in my experience. Opposed to 5mil where the aircrafts aborts the drop because of 3 degrees! of bank angle. CCIP is utter horseshit as well because of the equation: diving at your target + AAA threat = "You have a HOLE in your right wing". Because of that, I generally avoid unguided bombs, altogether; GBU-12s are avaiable in the neat 3-per-racks, as well.

JDAMs cant be dropped on moving targets, because the coordinates of the target that you find in the TGP or on a waypoint will be saved in the bomb. So JDAMs are not the best option for an attack on moving targets, if you're good at calculating the speed of the target and the time of flight of the bomb you could hit the target when its on a certain point on its way. But this is realy hard and i never did it. Best way to hit moving targets is a Maverick or a GBU.
