    GBU-24 Lasing time

    in DCS: F-16C Viper Tutorials

    Posted · Edited by Rdiehl3

    When do you or when is the correct time range to start lasing your target with the GBU-24? I ask bc the GBU 10 and 12 the USAF manuals say 8 to 12 seconds before impact. I have tried this with the GBU-24 and it goes dumb or goes lost. Wags vids and others start lasing straight away once off rack... Please advise

    same NO WIRELESS. Who uses wireless in DCS?

    Trim Centering

    in DCS: F-16C Viper

    Posted

    Novexous is absolutely correct...Why you are you trimming in the F16, the FLCC does it for you, like Airbus. Very rare do you need to trim, like approach to landing to maintain 13 AOA. Also, use your trim hat switch to re-trim if needed and look at the manual trim panel to put the trim where it belongs, in the middle.

    Barometric Altitude vs Radar Altitude?

    in DCS: A-10C Warthog

    Posted

    If the EGI results in an Estimated Vertical Error (EVE) of more than 50ft (as displayed in the CDU), it's better to use DELTA mode.

     

    In the DELTA mode, the pilot has to pick a point on the surface with a known elevation, fly directly over it at less than 5,000 AGL, and take a DELTA update in the IFFCC menu. The update process will simply add radar altitude to the known point's elevation to determine the starting point for the barometric calculations described above.

     

    Where on the CDU would you find EVE being more than 50ft (what page/setting). Is this something that is common and something we should look for often?

     

    2)How do you do a DELTA update? Is this procedure explained in the manual?

     

    Thanks BLUE

    Access Expand Modes TAD

    in DCS: A-10C Warthog

    Posted

    Could not find in manual(P.310) or in threads from the past how to access the EXPAND modes in the TAD.

     

    It says the TAD should be SOI and choice of 3 Modes

     

    Normal : Which I know

     

    EXP1

    EXP2

     

    How do I flip from Normal to EXP modes?

     

    Is the selection buttons on the MFCDs? If so what OBS button is it?

     

    Thanks :detective:

    Barometric Altitude vs Radar Altitude?

    5. ALT SCE. The ALT SCE switch selects the data source for altitude computations. This switch has three positions:

    - BARO position (Up). Altitude data is derived from barometric.

    - DELTA position (Middle). Altitude will be derived from difference between barometric and radar.

    - RADAR position (Down). Altitude is derived from radar altimeter.

     

    The nomenclature "ALT SCE" is slightly ambiguous, but refers to Altitude Source, not Altimeter Source.

     

    The ALT SCE is used for IFFCC weapon delivery computations, and is used to derive aircraft altitude above the target. The data is used internally within the IFFCC for CCIP/CCRP functions, and has no effect on the HUD displayed altimetry.

     

    In Radar Mode, the IFFCC assumes that the height above target is equal to the radar height directly below the aircaft. As such, it's only useful over flat terrain, and it's subject to the 5,000ft AGL limitation of the radar altimeter.

     

    The Baro and Delta modes are far more complex, and the specifics aren't really germane to the OP's question. Suffice it to say that these modes incorporate the CADC, EGI GPS altitude data, and various methods of updating and calibrating this data to derive an actual MSL target altitude.

     

    Additionally, as someone already pointed out, the aircraft uses a DTED elevation database to determine target elevation. Using this database, the IFFCC can provide the elevation under the gun/bomb/maverick/depressible pippers. Alternatively, the TGP can also be used to determine target elevation provided you have actively lased the target.

     

    When would you use Delta on the SCE switch?

    Paulkrii guide says tgt elevation greater than 50ft(6.3.4)weapons deplyment guide. Ex)Mountains? Or is these modes a back up to the DTS system...Just confused a bit... not sure if this is fuctional in game. Anybody have any ideas or knowlege in using DELTA?

     

    Also in IFFCC/Display mode/DELTA CAL:

    RDR DELTA

    RDR MSL

    GPS DELTA CAL

    GPS MSL CAL

    SELECTED MODE

    STORE

    CANCEL

     

    How and when and why would you use these in DELTA mode?
