thunderbolt9987 Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 (edited) Dear Heatblur Dev team, I was flying and dropping some unguided bombs with the Tomcat. When i switched to A/G Mode in the HUD and MASTER ARM ON i notice the DROP LINE has an offset to the right. When i changed my heading it was straight in the middle but when i go ingress to the targets the DROP LINE was close to center but not 100%. I dropped a MK 83 on a target was a T55 impact point was on top when i realeased the bomb. Oberseved the impact and noticed the bomb was 50 meters off to the left. A friend of mine tried it too...same result...attack run with Mk83 2 targets in one line...2 bombs dropped round 50 meters of the falling line to the left. If others have same issue plz...report if you have the same issue. I am hoping for an anwser asap and furthermore for a fix if its needed. Yours sincereley, thunderbolt9987 Edit: Seems to be a bug due to mission...tested with other mission its precise...the buggy mission is Crack the channel from Apache600 Edited July 8, 2019 by IronMike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gyrovague Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 We'll look into it, but my guess would be similar to draconus' : probably the mission has multiple wind layers with varying speeds and/or directions. The F-14 INS calculates wind only at own altitude, and uses that for the impact point calculations, so if there are layers beneath you with different enough parameters, the bomb will impact somewhere else than predicted. ____________ Heatblur Simulations [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronMike Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I've marked it as no bug, since it seemed mission related. I tried a couple bomb runs and could not see anything out of the ordinary.

razo+r Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I had the same problem actually. There was 12m/s wind in the mission and I approached from a side angle in relation to the wind direction. The reticle was on the target, but the bomb fell way to the side of it. The pipper should adjust for the wind, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoBlue Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Or you're over G:ing it. If you'll go above 6.5 G anytime during your flight the bomb-aim will be damaged & as a result "point wrong". i7 8700k@4.7, 1080ti, DDR4 32GB, 2x SSD , HD 2TB, W10, ASUS 27", TrackIr5, TMWH, X-56, GProR.

Eldur Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Did you use stored heading alignment? It's less precise and also causes a little offset for the TVV which also translates to the bombing pipper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
