Notice from @ 10:37 he carries two double racks with 4 bombs, not 4 bombs on 4 "stations" which are not the racks, but the rack stations, and he only designates 1 (PP1) program to 'STA 2 3 7 8' which is murky (compared to when carrying 8 and the symbology) but hey it works. With 4 double racks and 8 bombs, the actual STA 2 3 7 8 carry the bombs 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 and can be deployed when making sure STEP first all 4xPP1, then all PP2, the STEP picks the 'next one' whichever. One false click and you're stuck, hence the 'clear' button (that is WIP). It seems, perhaps in RL also, a better way would have been to have STA (or something) designate the physical stations, to unclutter the mind, and have STEP show on the STORES the designated 1 or 2 per the physical station. And prob TOO1 and TOO2 would be quite handy also. Then again, life is a bitch.

I've successfully unloaded (to be counted with fingers) 8 JDAMs on 8 targets, so that works (2 batch PP1 then PP2), I've also have had untold misses, and JDAMs not coming off the rails, flying to nowhere, and me trying to reprogram ('clear') endlessly in flight, to no avail, because the procedure is 1. exact 2. 1 wrong click and the whole setup goes haywire. Perhaps that's the WIP part or perhaps it's not. By the way if and when TOO1 and TOO2 work, that might uncomplicate matters if one could clear all previous settings with 'clear' and just could point and drop at last minute.

BTW, Why cheek when a squad mate calls it waist and I do not know what the hell he is talking about and he refuses to clarify because it is not obvious at all?

There is somewhat of a bug with auto/flaps and gear configuration and steep climbing, I've noticed a handful of times but ever more rarely with every update. If at all it happens it's when you're manhandling gear and flap position in a very awkward moment of the flight envelope, landing or taking off. You buttons having a hiccup does not help either, I've noticed. Just restart your flight if pushing a lot of buttons does not fix it. No doubt ED knows its there, and prob hidden very deep indeed, and there are far more urgent things planned. BTW this subject has been neaten to death already, today's FA/18C behaves quite nicely nearly all of the time I'd say, one day this whole matter will simply be forgotten.

You're linking to a massive passenger jet? Why?

This has already been discussed, and it does because of the offset of the nosewheel (presumably), the definite cause can only be verified by an actual pilot, and they're prob reluctant to address any of a subject this stupid

jet starts to roll, trim till roll stops, no further, that level out

you need to be on DCS openbeta

do F2 and observe

Works, you beat Wags to it (just kidding)

Setting up your PP1 PP2 in 2 batch releases, seems the trick well done, thx

any chance u can post the tacview here? Now I'm curious.

Meaning the A/G missions obviously, coming to think about it, this would regard A/G auto PP missions of course, as in 'hit that nuclear facility in Iran' (or was that Iraq)

Lost the link but a YT stated 'RL FA-18C missions are flown/navigated almost completely on autopilot .. ' meaning WP following, AP HDG if necessary, all Auto-throttle, he demonstrated JDAM PP mission 'as would have been flown in Iraq' so many words. This be true?

won't go to different targets (in my case), rather random mostly duplicates and a stray once in a while.

4 Jdam's, yep that works, everyone knows that, now figure out 8

And now via the Tpod? Tpod locked coordinates transfer erratic to Jdam MSN stores, yo have to test with Tpod

Tried multiple times, stations his same coordinates, 8 > 4 coordinates

Seems 4 work ok, programming 8 not so much

This is with the TPOD

I can load 4 GBU-38 and hit 4 different TPOD selected targets (“lock in TOO, switch to PP, repeat etc) But how do you do 8xGBU-38 and hit 8 different TPOD selected targets. I.c. YT says ‘make sure you use another program to set the last 4 other targets’ What is the exact sequence to get to the 5-8 off the racks, can’t get it to work, set 8 targets programs 1+2, switch to program 2 after 4 released, but 5 won’t release? I'm doing something wrong, Anyone tried?

you only trim untill the roll stops, then you level out by aileron

errrr, yes it does

AGM65F is the TV one by the way, what the TPOD does is zoooooom so you're ready for actual max range lock when slaved AGM65E is the laser one, a lot more hassle, (lot) shorter range also I estimate (not sure) Hit a SA6 radar car from 45555 Alt that fired 2 missiles and just (barely) about made it out

- AGM65F armed and ready (DDI1) - TPOD slew on target (DDI2 just keep zooming) - lock will slave AGM65F - wait till AGM65F finds designated lock on its own (no cloud, perhaps switch WTH for BLK) - rifle
