ccrp mode cant mark

[zeratul254]

as far as i can tell I've set everything up right. but when i hit the lock button it refuses to select a point for CCRP bombing. I'm using mk 82's.

[ZHeN]

it's locking, but u just don't see the cross anymore - just like IRL

[Robin_Hood]

You missed a change apparently ;)

 

Removed CCRP Target Cross (Not used by real aircraft)

[zeratul254]

i know, i read that bit. but its not showing any of the ui changes like the little marks on the side, guidance lines.

i figured it out... had to actually bind the AG designator. works fine now.

[Maulkin]

Wait...so how does CCRP work now? Is the manual updated with this?

[ZHeN]

forget the manual

[myHelljumper]

forget the manual

 

Why ? The manual is very good and mostly up to date.

[ZHeN]

I thought it was very outdated ...

[myHelljumper]

You should go back to it then, some stuff are outdated but most of it is still very useful. :thumbup:

I can't imagine how I would have learned the aircraft without it.

[ZHeN]

last time it was useful is when INS was presented .. this summer

[myHelljumper]

I don't understand the point you are trying to make here...

[Maulkin]

But is CCRP updated?

[myHelljumper]

By the change log in 2.0 yes

[Maulkin]

What I mean is the CCRP procedure updated in the user manual? ie. The procedure shows there is no targetting cross.

[myHelljumper]

From what I see no, but maybe it is with the 2.0 update.

 

The new procedure seams very close to what is already in the manual.

I've just had the same problem and it was a key change.

 

To lock targets with CCRP you now have to use the "magic II something/ A2G designate" key, and not the original "lock" (Enter) key.

 

I'd not been in the M2k for a few months and took me ages to work it out.

[zeratul254]

Actually the manual was what helped. it shows you need to use the AG designator button, which for me was mot bound. might have just been me but every other tutorial i read was "just press enter".

[myHelljumper]

That is the problem with these early access tutos, they are very misleading when they turn obsolete.

Anyone success with the last update? I haven't landed a bomb on target since, I must confess. But I do manage to launch within parameters now, applying a slightly steeper dive angle than I used to.

[Robin_Hood]

CCRP bombs consistently fall slightly short in the latest release, they are still working on that. You may want to designate just behind the target for now.

 

I can't see how you may have trouble launching within parameters, though (I never have - maybe you are way too low). My advice: start around 12 000 ft, roll-in at around 4 miles from the target. Dive, designate, pull-up (2 to 3 Gs), your bombs should be released somewhere around 5 000 ft to 7 000 ft and probably at around -5° to -10° nose down.

 

Train with a waypoint on target to get a feeling for the sight picture you must have.

[tflash]

Yes indeed my dive angle was too shallow.

Bombs still fall way to short for me in 1.5.5 and way to long in 2.0.4.
