Latest OB Update PLAN sight tested

[LastRifleRound]

Ragnar, I think you almost nailed it this time! I downloaded OB just so I could test this out. Figured I owed it to you guys after whining about it in 2 threads.

 

The second phase of the sight leads smoothly to the third. The only thing I'm unsure of is just what I'm supposed to do in phase 1. For right now, I set the HUD altitude to LD, then fly until the altitude displayed is the safety altitude then level out using the ADI. In the video below you can see I overshoot this, but phase 2 of the sight guides me in and the steering order is useful as the target passes below the hud.

 

The bombs no longer consistently fall forward. The center of the stick of bombs (16 at 10m interval) lands just after the center of the ammo depot. Great grouping.

 

What is your intention for the first phase? Is the sight really supposed to guide to the altitude (not sure how it could pre-designation) or is the profile proper as I have flown it?

 

Finally, I believe the steering order (phase 3) should be placed according to the pipper position when the trigger was held, not when unsafe. I think this is the progression set forth in the manual. I'm pretty sure that logic would be similar to DYK.

 

The attack is over after the 3m mark, after that is a landing if you're into seeing that sort of thing. I turn in way too late but was too impatient to do the real thing, which would have been a go-around back to the downwind leg.

 

Let me know what you think. I just uploaded so if the embed is acting up the video is here:

The only real issue I'm seeing this with this video is that it looks like your target location ring is remaining displayed, when it should disappear after trigger unsafe. Do you pull the trigger immediately after going unsafe? That could have turned into the steering order. But then I don't understand why we would have the pipper and the steering order both acting as flight directors.

You're right, that ring should disappear. It's just the waypoint marker.

 

The steering order doesn't appear until 2:38, which is when I pull and hold the weapon release trigger.
