LastRifleRound Posted December 26, 2019 Posted December 26, 2019 Fun thing you can try in your JF17. This is far from SOP, just a work-around until EXP and DBS are brought online. Not sure what the ETA is on those, so here's something you can do while you wait. Make a mission in the ME with low cloud/fog cover, such that the TGP is unable to resolve targets. Make some static targets to bomb, put a waypoint in their vicinity. Make sure you bring a TGP in your loadout. On ingress, fire up your AG radar, make sure it's set to SLV. Bring it to DBS1/DBS2 mode (Many times you may even be able to resolve the returns in EXP). Make sure you haven't TDC slewed the cursor at all. Now, switch to the TGP as SOI. When you're about 20nm away, hit TDC designate with the TGP as SOI. Now slew the TGP, but look in the radar screen. You can slew the radar cursor by way of the TGP, and avoid the bugs in the AG Radar. Slew over one of your targets in the radar display. Now make the radar SOI. Make sure you have not moved the radar cursor. Press TDC designate. You should be in FTT on that target point. Drop bombs. Works like a charm. The procedure will be similar except nix the TGP when the radar is finished, and I'm sure you'll have to fly offset from the SPI to get a good DBS picture due to the nature of DBS imagery, but this makes blind bombing against non pre-planned targets posiible. Have fun!
