You are correct cbu 87 and 97 are dumb bombs CCIP should be a lot more accurate for those, make sure you don't release under the height of function setting for the bomb (default is 500ft)

ˆˆˆThat about says it

I can second this one, for the longest time I thought that I just needed to use trim to compensate, then I checked the calibration of my stick (hotas warthog). It was way off! Trim is key but so is a well calibrated stick, in my case bad calibration was throwing things off more than asymmetrical load outs

The laser informs the FCC about slant range, giving you a more accurate firing solution ...I think

Place your template, select unit 1, choose custom from the formations drop-down, and add wayponts That should work, for me anyways

Thank you for that explanation. I hadn't considered that I could "fly the release cue over the pipper" it has improved my deliveries immensely (I'd previously been holding my dive and waiting for consent to release:doh:)

The prepare mission only works for certain systems (you can find a list in the GUI manual, I'd tell you them if I could remember :)) If you do use it, I would recommend that you wait until you're completely satisfied with the load out of the aircraft, as changing things after the fact can leed to some annoying bugs

I believe what you're looking for is located in the control page of the Maverick display, find the OSB that says "adjust" (abbreviated) and use the DMS keys to adjust the bore-sight of the missile. re-reading your post, it would seem that I've totally missed your question (shouldn't have skipped so many of those english classes :music_whistling:) Are you asking what the angular limits are of the MAV seeker?

Sniped!

sounds like you might have a mapping conflict between the "china hat" switch and the "TMS" switch.

Yes, it did seem like you were lying and just making things up :) just kidding, actually I overlooked that you were referring to the cue in the display and not the crosshair itself I guess I might as well edit the video link back in, as it reenforces your point:D

mis-read your post, my mistake

Try using the editor to set a "unit dead" trigger, and set the action to "explode unit". Then set the volume of the explosion to 40,000-90,000. Presto! Giant explosions! (Still the same core effect, just larger in volume) I've been using this on static objects to simulate a giant secondary explosion.

Thanks fellas, Druid, your idea is about the best I think I can do. The only issue is that the chinook won't go below roughly 50ft AGL Maybe down the road we will see this worked out. Guess I'll just have to spam it for now! Thanks for the ideas

Is there a way to get an AI heli to land at a spot of the mission builders choosing? Perhaps by making a FARP invisible? Or some advanced actions options that I'm missing? (trying to recreate a casevac situation) Thanks

It'll be labeled on the MFCD in question (lower right corner if memory serves me right). It stands for acknowledge. You should also be able to clear the message (not the beeping) by pressing TMS left short on your hotas

DMS right short with TGP as SOI, if you don't feel like taking your hands off the stick

you will always see the various options, but without tuning your radio they will not respond

awesome paulrkill A crooked grin complete with yellow and missing teeth? :devil_2:

re-installed the game/patch and the problem was gone. I was able to enter all the fields, but the settings weren't persistent. If I selected another unit and then went back the settings would be grayed out. Seems fine now.

I'm setting up a mission that's to include a B-1 lancer carpet bombing a position on the map. I can't seem to get him to drop more than 2 weapons. I set the "expend" drop-down to the value I'm looking for, and all seems well. However, on selecting another unit than rechecking that option, the "expend" menu is grayed out with nothing selected. I had no issues with this in the beta builds. Any ideas? Edit; Task is set as "bombing" Payload is selected (84 mark 82s) there are no SAMs or AAA in the area, reaction to threat is set as no reaction

China hat aft short (I think the key is C)

Yep, It'll work right out of the box. You may want to remap the trim controls to the trim hat (by default that is set as a POV hat) This might be a trim issue, but you should also check your calibration on your joystick. I was shocked how out of wack my TM warthog was out of the box. I'll do some research on where to find the calibration software and you can check it out (it's buried in the forums somewhere...)

toggle the appropriate switch (below the left MFCD) from "GunPac" to "GunArm". This will disable PAC

Check the website to see that the file names match, ^^^ that is not the correct name for any of the .bin files you should be using. Welcome to the forums BTW
