  1. Not very intuitive in the SE. In other aircraft QTY means what it says, which is the total number of bombs to be released, and MULT means how many bombs to be released simultaneously in the release cluster.

    In the SE for example, you can't release a simultaneous cluster of 3 bombs from one station, or 3 bombs from 2 stations, etc. 

  2. In the various tutorials it shows that when you designate a target with the FLIR, a dashed diamond shows up on the HUD and slews with the FLIR to maintain SA. When I do this the diamond in the HUD does not slew with the FLIR. If I slew the FLIR and designate another target, the diamond in the HUD jumps to the new target, but is there a way to slave the HUD target diamond so that it slews with the FLIR?

     

  3. Dumb question - is there anything else to do after destroying the primary target? Are there triggers for more targets or is this a single-target mission?

    Also, I noticed that the elevations on the kneeboard are different in the Flight Plan section than they are in the Targets section, and these are different than the F10 map elevations, and some of the decimal coordinates are slightly different between the kneeboard and the F10 map.

     

  4. Double tapping NWS does nothing (yes, it is bound correctly). I have to use the OSB to box VVSLV, then double tapping will enable snowplow.

    Is this how it's supposed to work? Neither the manual, guide, nor tutorials mention using the OSB first. They all say just double tap to unstow and enable VVSLV mode.

  5. I don't misunderstand anything, nor does Wags or anyone else who explains how it works. 

    I didn't say they compute a lead release, I said they automatically and continuously track and lase the moving target, which is exactly what every manual says, every training mission demonstrates, and every video tutorial shows for the A-10, F-16, and F-18, but not the F-15 because it currently doesn't have that capability.

    Not sure why this is so difficult for people to comprehend. 

    • Incorrect. As Greaselitenin said, in the other aircraft you point track a moving target, designate it as the target, the track and designation automatically remain on the target as ASL follows, the weapon is released at the continuously computed time, and the weapon tracks the laser to the target which is still being tracked and designated all the way to impact, which is why you have to ensure the pod sees the target the entire time.
    • There is no leading.
    • There are literally hundreds of tracks and tutorials showing this process.
