Rolds Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 Could someone please try these and let me know if I'm crazy? I've tried against a number of targets and at various release heights and speeds. Thanks!
Rolds Posted March 4, 2018 Author Posted March 4, 2018 Follow up, is the waypoint supposed to be the middle of the grouping (this is what I was thinking) or the FIRST impact point?

Zabuzard Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 The Nav release mode is for bombing a waypoint. Bombs therefore should hit where your waypoint marker is placed, if you fly correctly. Of course that requires your navigation system to be accurate with no drift. The procedure is as follows: If you think you followed it and still keep missing you will probably need to attach a track or a video link. Otherwise, it will be hard to figure out the problem.
Zabuzard Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 (edited) Also note that we can only enter waypoints up to a certain precision. The Lat/Long format is DD°MM'SS''. So we are accurate up to one second. However, one second still represents an area of roughly 30m * 26m (98ft * 85ft). (see Accuracy of Lat-Long in DDM and DMS) It is likely that, with that precision, a waypoint is not spot on a target. Edited March 4, 2018 by Zabuza
Rolds Posted March 5, 2018 Author Posted March 5, 2018 Yeah I am following that procedure and hitting the target but not bracketing the waypoint as expected, there are two things that seem apparent from my attempts: 1. The guidance in nav mode has you fly 400m above target elevation, this causes all bombs to miss long. When I ignore the guidance and fly 200m or lower, I get hits but... 2. The first impact is fairly close to the waypoint, so to bracket an area target I need to remember that and move the mark point accordingly. Curious if this jives with the experience of others.
Zabuzard Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 Could you provide a video or track? We can then immediately tell if you did something wrong.

TOViper Posted March 18, 2018 Posted March 18, 2018 Hello Rolds! What happens if you would reduce speed down to M0.7?

Rolds Posted March 19, 2018 Author Posted March 19, 2018 Hello Rolds! What happens if you would reduce speed down to M0.7? Just tried, test 1 release height 300m QFE, release speed M.73, first impact dead on target, which was destroyed, then the line proceeded from there. Test 2 release height 400m QFE, release speed M.70, all long.
