Toumal, is there a chance that you are locked onto something and the fall line is focusing on that off of your hud and toward the direction you're locked target is? Just a thought.

Dear "What am I doing wrong" If I were you, I would contact a guy called "TacticalPascal" on either Youtube or by searching our group Tactical DCS Community. This is a fairly new group of guys who patiently walk you through any issues you have and are very good at helping even the most basic players. AND if you wanted to, I would fly with you and walk you through it myself. Leo Also, check out this video. At 2:30 mins, he is talking about what you want to hear I think.

Just very happy I was able to help.

NOPE!! In CCRP DMS down then TMS down should set up your slewable Boresight . Hope this helps

Ram'll halp ya! He's da man! If he cant hep ya no one can RAMJETT will tell ya what you are doing wrong, I think i know but cant explain it to you. Im not smart like that. BUT Ram is. He helped me be able to do THIS yesterday!@

Trac Ir? Suggestions?

4FOR4 Thanks again, I was 4 for 4 this morning from 10k at 400knots. It was great having your support, You are truly an honorable and intelligent man. Have a wonderful day

Thanks again! YOU have given me hope with your assurances and direction, I'm just getting started today, I'll figure it out or come back at you later today or tomorrow with a report or questions. My DMS is on my stick too but changed my TMS (to thumb HAT on the throttle) so I could use that TMS button to zoom in and out slow; I use the Thumb hat on the trigger to look around...right? WHAT DO YOU USE TO LOOK AROUND What do you use to look around and inside of the cockpit?

If you use the HAT on the front of the throttle for slewing, what do you use for your TMS switches R, L, U and D? Can you suggest a good map for setting WARTHOG HOTAS up effectively for f16, as currently, I use the Thumb HAT on Throttle for steering which is nice as I can keep both hands on HOTAS during take off this way.

I use the slew control push though as my RDR Cursor/Enable depress. Is this the RDR DOWN button you mean? (There is a RDR Cursor R,L, U and D button) Try bombing from 15-20,000 ft at 400 kts + and see if it makes a difference. I'll go back to this method again but did this for the first two days of A-G practice Only laze about 10-12 seconds prior to impact ( you will have to best guess that until TTI comes) if you lase immediately after release the bomb may run out of energy on a shallow flight path. From 20,000 it’s about 40 seconds. The pattern I have seen, I think, is that the bombs are overshooting their mark marginally usually 50 to 100 yards estimated Once the bomb comes off the rail after a few seconds start a mild angle of bank turn to the right ( use autopilot alt hold helps) Then after about 10 seconds start holding the trigger ( Flashing L) and hopefully that will get you a direct hit. As you pass over the target if the cross hair has drifted slightly due to slant error from where you first set it then just gentle move it back to target. I've been angling off after bomb release, as you suggest and now that I know I can move the cursor, I will correct that after release because you said so. Thank you. So, I'm not sure you are correct (but who am I to argue) about the need to set codes, I thought you needed to set the code in your MFD under 0 (miscellaneous) and 5 (RDR) in order to set the correct TGP code "1688" as it is NOT in there by default. I'm going to try this again, I was going to quit but ill try and let ya know how it goes. Thanks again mate

F16-C Slewing and AG LGB problems Hey Ramjet and thanks for responding, I appreciate it. I am certain the TGP actually WOULD work fine on any other HAT actually and I have searched to find how others are slewing and how they set up because using a HAT will remove the functions currently (by default) were set on that hat. Which HAT do you use and what do you do with the functions purposed for that HAT? Because I've been working (unsuccessfully) for several days on this trying to figure it out, I've been dropping between 6 and 10k with an immediate slowing and immediate lasing. I am not overflying the target, I'm trying to keep the TGP in clear sight of target by angling off target after release, I've set codes... One thing that seems different with LGB from f16c to fa18c is after placing point track onto the target you must click TDC to lock onto it with the laser? But with the f16 I don't do that it seems. So what YOU are doing is setting your targeting pod in point track over the target, lining it up and doing a normal CCRP bomb run, right? I am working right now so may not be able to respond quickly now but THANK YOU again for your feedback Ramjet Hey Leostra, Couple of things I can suggest as currently, I have no issues with LGBs in the F16. Have you tried assigning the TGP slew to a different HAT switch on your controller? I use a warthog system but moved the slew to another one and it works fine. Are you lasing the target from the moment you release the bomb? Dropping from 15000ft I wait about 8 seconds until holding the trigger to lase. TTI is not implemented yet on the HUD. Also, make sure you lase the object near its base ie a vehicle tire Perhaps save and upload a track of your attempts so others can maybe spot what’s going on. I know my suggestions are basic and not a definite solution but got to start somewhere ������ H

F16-C Slewing and AG LGB problems Hello there and I hope you are all having a great day, I have had no problems hitting targets in AG mode in my F/A 18 or A10C but CAN NOT seem to get AG down in the F16C The slew button on my WARTHOG HOTAS seems very difficult to control smoothly and also likes to slide around on its own a lot. I end up using the keyboard to slew onto the target in Point Track. When I finally am able to get the Point Track to sit on the target, it almost at that point feels like I am missing something to get the track to lock onto the target; when I drop and then trigger laser, the bomb hits near the target but NEVER on the target. TWO issues here are the squirrelly and difficult control over the slew button on the throttle of HOTAS and then, no matter how many times I try, constant near misses on the target. I am slewing TGP (which is SOI) in CCRP but after I "rest" the Point Track on the target, it feels like I am missing something to make the radar actually see the target for some reason. I have Steer point set on a target, laser-armed and trigger pulled after release (flashing L) 4 days now of trying over and over to land a bomb with no luck. I've watched Wag's, Spuds AND Cap's vids over and over and feel like I am following all their methods accurately but with NO SUCCESS!!! If anyone has any suggestions I would be very appreciative. Thank you. Leo

Wow, you got shit for help with this issue. THAT sucks. I am having the same problems ith my warthog HOTAS and after 3 years with DCS I am close to packing it in after NOT being able to make a single kill in my f16c dropping LGB> Keep missing by 100 feet or so, even though the laser is flashing and I follow all the directions on all the YOUTUBE videos

THANK YOU! This worked and I can use my Autopilot again after switching to ORIDE I appreciate the effort to assist in this issue.

How did you connect your rudders to your tensioner lever? I can't get it to be recognized
