OK, thanks razo+r.

When going to load bombs on a station I'm presented with a list of bomb types that are confusing me. Has anyone found a simple explanation of what the following mean: GBU-38 *-* GBU-38 */* GBU-38 *\* GBU-38 GBU-38 (V)1/B - JDAM 500lb GPS Guided Well I know what the last one is, but I thought all GBU-38 were JDAM? What's the *-* etc mean? I've tried to search for a simple list of bomb types for DCS but can't find anything.

Disregard.

But it's only showing 2 files, they are more than that, maybe file creators need to apply the correct metadata so that they are picked up in a Kola search.

Well I'm liking it. Just took the Harrier up the river from Kemi, beat up Rovaniemi, landed on the road strip at BAS100, low level, 400kts, QTR and back to Kemi at FL100 in time for tea. There's a little HAS at Kemi you can taxi into! I don't know what other people's expectations are, but when I'm skimming the water at 400kts, I'm not examining the trees or looking for pebbles on the beach, I looking for wires - and they are there! I expect winter textures quite quickly and other improvements as they have said are coming in due course. Time to explore furher afield and then put some targets down. I've found a new home map!

I would prefer that they (Orbx) have a presence in the forum, Discord is just for chat, egos and memes and rarely a source of useful or accurate information.

To answer the OP question ..... no sand!

I've been off for a year and now caching up with things, updated DCS to 2.9.4.53707. If I understand the above posts correctly, there is now no Open Beta? I had a desktop shortcut to Open Beta and now it opens to v2.7.17. I was using OB for Multiplayer servers. Does this mean that all those multiplayer servers are now accesible in DCS 2.9.4? Because clicking the multiplayer on the main loading screen shows a small list of servers and none of the ones I recall from before.

My guess is it'll be released when it's ready. I could be wrong though.

Most of us get it Chuck. Some people just need to have a bit of conflict in their lives and have a keyboard rant at someone / something every now and again. I asked the initial question about the guide and I'm happy with the responses given. Could we just crack on now?

Chuck's Harrier Guide is on hold - for good reason, I understand that @baltic_dragonis doing a Guide but obviously is not ready for release yet until they've finished major upgrades. @ZeroReady's post above is great for deploying LGB with TPOD. After much trawling around I found the following useful-ish; Q4 2020 Midlife Update - scroll way down past all the pictures. Grim Reaper's update video - narrated at his normal pace, but can pause and go back over; These were late 2020 and I'm not sure if still accurate.

@ZeroReady Thanks man, worked perfectly - easy when you know how! I gather the CCIP dumb bombs procedure has also changed - back to the detective work!

Yeah. But at least they're still working on it. The biggest PITA is no systems user guide as part of the product at all, let alone one that keeps pace with the system changes. It's a real naus having to trawl the forums and YouTube for advice, and then wonder if it's current. Shouldn't have to rely on 3rd party users to write their guides for them.

Thanks ZR, I'll go through that tomorrow. The use of DESG on the Left MFD is a new one on me. Slewing the TPOD is done using the old TDC controls (U,J,Y,I) ?

I've been away from DCS for a while and in that time there seems to have been a lot of changes, with no clear documentation or guide. Chuck's is outdated and on hold, the Pocket Guide tells me nothing about how to use things. I used to know how to use GBU12 LGB with the TPOD and the TDC for target designation, but now nothing seems to work the same and I'm getting displays I don't recognise. There's not even a TDC button now. Does anyone have a simple to follow step by step guide for how to designate ground targets and drop GBU12 LGB with the TPOD (or any other method for that matter.) Thanks in advance.
