[SET CORRECT ELEVATION] AGM 154C coord

[FOXFIRE TWOONE]

I have not hit a target yet in either OB or Stable. Taking coord from f10 map set to precision using

8 digit coord. Launching form between 21 to 22 thousand, and about 1/4 of the way inside max circle. All have hit long or short even though I tried having cursor in different positions, on or very near targets. Also I thought not having to move cursor on the map to get the precision coord was fixed. Do I have to choose precision in the data page first for coord to work.

 

I have done repair.

Have you input the correct altitude of the target? Can you post a trackfile so that we can see what you are doing and possibly offer additional assistance?

Yes I am entering the alt.

The coordinates in the F10 map are in DDMMSS while the HSI input is set by default to DDMMmm. So unless you are converting your coordinates before input, you might be missing your target.

 

So, try this to see if it fixes you:

From the F10 map, make sure you are getting PRECISE coordinates, use ALT + Y to change your coordinates to precise. Jot down the PRECISE coordinates (after MGRS - will look like N26-31-47.58 E53-59-49.07 117ft)

Start your jet

On the HSI go to Data

Go to AC

change the default entry in the bottom right from LATLONG DCML to LATLONG SEC by pushing the OSB on the far right, bottom side

Now input your waypoint coordinates in the HSI

 

Take off, warm up the weapons, navigate towards waypoint

Designate the waypoint as a target

TOO mode on the JSOW

Go to the mission screen of the JSOW

Verify the coordinates on the JSOW display match the coordinates on the target/waypoint

If all matches, fire away, see if you hit the target.

 

Report back your results.. If you missed, please upload the track file so others can help.

Why do you put them in as a waypoint out of interest as opposed to directly in the weapon?

 

 

Curios as I have been punching them in the weapon and missing only by a few feet and cannot work it out.

TOO and PP are pretty interchangeable in my opinion, depending on your mission.

If I'm going after a lot of preplanned targets I use PP and type the coords in on the ground, that lets me drop them in quick succession.

It I'm flying without a planned target and I only intent to drop one I use TOO, the ability to reattack if necessary without reinputing the coords is the only advantage I can think of however (even though that is reasonably unlikely), otherwise PP would be just as effective as far as I can tell.

Because I hate re-entering coordinates if they happen to vanish. I also enter a waypoint coordinate to get there, so why not just make it a target too? And finally, my mission has me attacking and rearming bases that have 30ish targets. By using the waypoint feature I can remember which target I’ve attacked.

 

Last point- TOO is only slower on the first four bombs (You can’t go pickle pickle pickle pickle. It’s pickle, next waypoint, waypoint designate pickle next waypoint, waypoint designate.) Easy to setup bindings on Hotas to do this nearly as fast as PPs first four. The second four are similar in speed (for now as you have to step to PP2.)

Getting more kills now that I am clicking on tgt and taking coord from the bottom left on map instead of mouse hoovering over tgt an taking coord form top left of map. Bottom seem more accurate.

[foxfour]

yes looking at the blue box after clicking a target is more accurate than just hovering a target with your mouse.
