I knew there had to be a better way!

Wow - that's great to know... thank you!

Thanks for the tip. I will give that method a try. I have definitely picked up quite a few helpful tips from the comments on my videos!

The time is right there in the HUD and it adjusts with speed, which should help if you aren't RIGHT at the exact speed. You can find formulas out there and do a bunch of math. I think that pass I made could have been prettier but it worked out.

550 kts

Maybe your speed is too high?

Make sure your altitude is higher than the burst altitude of the CBU.

Did you set the markpoint as your current steerpoint after you made it? Once it is a steerpoint, everything should work as if it was a pre-planned steerpoint you made in the mission planner. Right now the F-16 seems to be a bit buggy as the markpoint steerpoints are occasionally appearing in different places once you create them.

Hey there Gaffer!! Thank you for the rapid reply. I thought I did. I’ll have to try again this evening when I get home. I wrote everything down and performed the steps sequentially in tandem with your video; but I am sure I mucked something up.

Just tried it again, step by step but then when I rolled raked right @ 20 seconds ToT and pulled up 25deg. rolled back in the target in my HUD/HMCS was off about 2-3 miles.. odd.

@outlaw_fury1869 try hitting CZ on your targeting pod after you pull up. This is a new thing with 2.9 and I’m not sure if it’s a bug or a feature. I’m considering reporting it to ED

Ahh I forgot to set it back to CCIP.. I kept it in DTOS buy accident/..

The 97's will be more effective as a smart weapon with the "skeet" shaped charges. I just like using the more simple weapons sometimes!

@@FLYGaffer but it's many less exlosions over a smaller area right? I find they rarely take out the whole site like you did here (but are better for armor)

the CBU10x are GPS guided, once you have a SPI you can release them anywhere within the WEZ. They also have wind compensation, but it's not currently implemented in DCS.

@@B.D.B. it is implemented

DTOS lets you mark a target for CCIP or CCRP attack without making an actual markpoint. Using the HMCS.

DCS doesn't simulate that at the moment.

@@phreak761 It doesn't, which allows silly stuff like this. You should still fly like you can dud them.

JF-17 does

@@ArchOfficial I will check back in on DCS in a couple of years, I'm guessing this will still be not implemented 🫨.

@@phreak761 Maybe after dynamic campaign is finished, our grandkids will be able to experience basic combat flightsim features implemented into DCS once most of the modules get out of beta. Should be around 2070 or so.

For boresighting, try this: On the the ground still, warm up your TPOD and your mavs. Set your tpod as SOI and then slew to anything that's on the ground like a fuel truck, runway sign, fuel tank, vehicles, even another stationary aircraft and TMS up to get a point track. DMS down to swap the SOI to your mavericks and slew to the same object. (Gimbal range on the mavs is narrower so its best if its something directly in front of your aircraft, or close to it.) TMS up to get a lock just like you would on any other target and hit the OSB on the left side of the MFD next to where it says 'BGST'. It'll flash for a second. TMS down to break the lock, step to the other weapon station and repeat. Done. You can now use your mavs easily in PRE mode. Hope this helps!

@@h.m.5924 except there is Parallax error, mavericks are really unusable when you start cold, or at least in auto mode. there is no way to boresight them perfectly since they can't lock onto anything, must be something lockable and far away
