Topper81 Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Hello, should the HUD in CCIP mode show the corect impact point of a drag bomb if it is used in "free fall mode" (If drag fuze is "FF")? I gues it's always showing the impact point for "drag mode" but I don't know if it's realistic or if it's a bug... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainmaker Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Presumably... Bug/under development, depending on how you want to look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomsk Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Hello, should the HUD in CCIP mode show the corect impact point of a drag bomb if it is used in "free fall mode" (If drag fuze is "FF")? I gues it's always showing the impact point for "drag mode" but I don't know if it's realistic or if it's a bug... Last time I tried dropping a Mk-82 Snake Eye in FF mode it opened the tail fins as well .. i.e. just ignored the setting. As far as I'm aware dropping them in low drag mode should be an option, I guess it's just not implemented properly yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin_Hood Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 I don't know about earlier, but selecting FF now certainely has the BSU-86 not deploy, ie. the bombs are really deployed as low-drag. However, as OP said, the impact point is still computed as for a high-drag release. This is probably work in progress. As a side note, I'd like to mention quickly that not all Mk-82 Snakeyes are capable of having drag mode selected in flight (older Mk.15 kits couldn't - although all can be selected for low-drag release on the ground from my undersanding), and all bomb racks do not allow this to work either, so even with a BSU-86 it's not a given that you can have the pilot option. This being said, as the selection actually works in the F/A-18C, this means we have both BSU-86 fins and ZRF racks to use pilot option. This might not be true for other aircraft, though (the AV-8B comes to mind, although my guess is they will also include it later - at the moment the fins always deploy from the Harrier). 2nd French Fighter Squadron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Chapo Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 (edited) Hello, I haven't seen anything about it recently. It has been reported a long time ago (2019) here: Both AUTO and CCIP modes with high drag bombs are showing RET release cue while in FF mode. It is therefore impossible to use them in FF... I thought that it was not always the case, but I might be wrong. Could we have the correct FF ballistics when in FF mode? Thanks! .trk here: https://disk.yandex.com/d/wb8QdKr_z1dCgw Edited February 15 by El Chapo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCS_moldy Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 (edited) Having this same issue today. Bombs went way long of CCIP marker in FF mode. Tested it and switching between FF and RET showed no change on the HUD. -Edited to include track F18 82SE.trk Edited March 12 by DCS_moldy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike_CK Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I know the CCIP/CCRP system with the hornet has been an issue in the past but I’m still having major issues and -before I post a track file- I’m interested in whether others are as well. playing an instant action mission w/hot start. Modern day (so GPS and no INS issue). I have mk82SE but dropping in Freefall mode. I see the target out in front and designate it with the HUD “meatball”. I move the designator more precisely onto the target building and press TDC Depress again. By the time the timer counts down and releases the bombs, I am WELL past the target. Like, I’m flying over the designated point when the timer is still at 10 seconds. I tried multiple times to undesignate and redesignate other targets but it always releases when I’m well past (I tried CCIP and even dropping at low altitude, it was also inaccurate but that could be the retarded bombs in FF mode ) I’ve been flying the hornet since 2019. I don’t have any issues when I designate the target with a TGP or WPDSG. I can drive tacks in the F-16 and I’ve also cleared my FXO & Metashader files but I’ve always had this issue. hiw about you guys? Any idea if I’m doing something wrong?

Canada_Moose Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Your issue is drag bombs in freefall mode. See linked post. Don't know why this is marked as 'cannot reproduce' its already confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know why this is marked as 'cannot reproduce' its already confirmed. Habit. Sometime I think that answer is thrown in there b/c there have been several times I had an issue, gotten the “sorry…all Ok on our end” only to see a “fix” days later in a patch or to see the bug confirmed BUT….thank you! That’s why I post even if I don’t have a track. Many times someone on here knows what I did wrong or the issue even if I’m told “can’t reproduce”.
