Thanks for clearing it up this is what I have been doing all along. I just thought I was doing something wrong when I saw that checklist, but obviously I'm not because I mainly hit all of my targets doing it this way.

Now I am confused. I read this article and nowhere here does it say it is to detect exact range. I will look at your video to see what you mean, but it doesn't mention range on that link I posted below. They also call it a Laser guided bomb, so the laser must play a part in guiding the bomb to the target. http://science.howstuffworks.com/smart-bomb1.htm

Thanks for the replies, but these answers bring me to another question. I read somewhere on these forums that you only need to use a TGP Spi for JADAM's and not use your laser. Why would a JADAM require a laser when it uses a GPS receiver and the inertial guidance system? Or are you saying it is just away to get the TGP on the exact mark before releasing the JADAM? I also didn't know you could drop JADAM's on markers instead of a SPI, so where in the manual does it explain this? Thanks!

I have just got used to most of the weapons now, but then I spotted something I might be doing wrong. I saw that some guy had made a check list on how to use a laser bomb, but the bit I don't understand is step seven on his list. I want to know why he turns on the lasers before selecting his target as SPI and then turns it off again? I thought the only time you needed to turn the laser on was after selecting a target as SPi and when the laser bomb was 8 to 12 seconds away from the target. 1) RMFCD select TGP > A/G OSB 2) RMFCD make SOI 3) China Hat Aft Long slave to SPI 4) Crosshair slew to target 5) TMS Fwd Short. Select AREA/POINT 6) DMS UP/DOWN zoom in/out 7) Laser on, create SPI (TMS Fwd Long), laser off

I read about this in the manual but I cannot understand what it is used for. Can someone explain in simple terms what exactly it is used for and when I will need to use it? Thanks!

Cheers WildBill.

Will the Oculus Dev kit 2 work? I read that the devs had partially implemented Oculus Rift into the game, but wil Oculusl Dev kit 2 also work?

Thanks man.

The Harrier? Where do you get that from? Or is it in FC3?

I just wondered if there is a weapons list anywhere I can print out? Like a list of laser bombs Jadam bombs ect. Also, a list of targets I see on my radar so that I can quickly look them up. Thanks!

I was of to do an Aprils fool telling everyone Nevada had been released. Now that would have got people's back up lol. I didn't fall for this one with those pics.

So we don't need Lockon installed at all now?

Yeah I saw that and it's what I'm using now. Cheers!

Thanks for the help HiWay!

Does this work with SweetFX? I have windows 7 64bit and a Geforce 680GTX card. I have tried to get it to work with no luck so far. If it does work where is the DCS.exe file I need to use to get it to work? I have tried what I think are exe files, but again I have had no joy and cannot get it to work. Thanks!

Bit of a pointless vote if you ask me because they will only do what they want to do. Lots of people have requested maps like Vietnam..ect but they never get answered. Lots of people talk about Nevada and there isn't even that much info on that, so I wouldn't hold my breath about Crimea.

I think the track clip pro is horrible. I spent an entire day trying to set that thing up and still couldn't get it to work right. I went back to the hat clip, but I have that glued onto my headphones at the top. I may look like a right twerp, but it works a treat.

I think I am just getting over the exited stage now. A couple of pics without any real info leads me to think this it isn't going to happen anytime soon. Hope I'm wrong, but I don't think so. I suppose it allows me to practice the A10C, though instead of flying about admiring the scenery..

Maybe that post should have been deleted then instead of left to confuse things. Seems to have confused a few people.

Whoever made it and for what ever reason, I still think it 's a little disappointing that we are playing a map that's how old now? Especially after seeing that map was made in 2012.

You are not supposed to have your canopy open when turning.

What? The part about FSX? Well it looks like FSX with mod to me.

If these videos are from 2012, then how are we still playing the current map? You would think we would be playing that map after all this time. You sure that isn't FSX?

Yes please explain this because I do have mine disabled. I thought switching it off gave your Pc a boost? Just how much of a boost though?

Not sure what the problem is here but I'm having to alt tab to get the Sim running right. When I am playing the Sim, I can see small flashes of my task bar coming through onto the screen. I then have to alt tab to desktop and then go back into the game via the tab on the task bar. Anyone know what causes this? Thanks!
