Can you Use the Tpod to designate PP targets for the JDAM's?

That video is out-of-date, the ability to transfer coordinates from TOO to PP was found out to be unrealistic behavior and removed in a patch after the date on that video. In that video, the JDAMs are using the old, incorrect QTY/STEP logic.

Coordinates are accurates if you record them with the tgp when you fly over the target.

In reality we shouldn't be using the TPOD for JDAMs at all since the coordinates they generate are too imprecise, although I don't know if the same applies to the ATFLIR. This isn't currently simulated, but it would be interesting to see at some point down the line.

 

 

That's so true. However, it seems that all sensors in DCS world are unrealistically perfect.

As an alternative, one can quite effectively use the TGP to designate targets for JSOW in TOO mode.

 

 

Absolutely! I was originally setting TOO coordinates with WYPT's but it was so inaccurate as to be pointless. I started using the litening and now my JDAM/JSOW drops are deadly accurate :smilewink:

I remember SnowPlow as a submode of A/G-Radar. But here it is definitively not about A/G-Radar...

You may be right, but I just have watched the video, and there are no single word about that mode. It is mentioned by mr. Wags only in mini update. Im just wondering what is purpose of Snowplow mode....

I don't know if it's an official term. But as it sounds (picture a snowplow). That's where it looks.

 

AFAIK snowplow is in fact the correct term, and isn't somehow tied to the A/G radar. At least in the other unmentionable sim, all it does is hold a designated azimuth and elevation constant in relation to the aircraft.

Just watched a short 3 minutes video of new TGP features. Pretty useful things, but nothing big. I was just wondering - this features in 3 min video took almost 9 months to ED to integrate it?

Who knows how complicated it was to implement for various reasons. Maybe it was less prioritized for whatever reason. We won't know. Quite a pointless question to ask.

I'm just happy I can finally slew the TGP to a WP. Amen.

 

Not only that. Once you do you can slew using TDC without undesignating the waypoint as tgt.

I believe that you will get a more accurate Coordinates if you can perform slight circling around the target point. Same way how ARBS/Shkval calculate the position by angle rate change.

 

So what you do is that you triangulate the position as long your aircraft position is exactly known.

The LST doesnt know how far away the laser spot is, all it knows is theres a spot "over there" and points at it.

 

Why then if that's the case, buddy lasing techique isn't used instead of the current spot lase?

Posted

they are both used, either way you would still have to lase the target or get coordinates, cause your system still has to figure out how far away the target is in order to compute the release for the bomb. About the only thing you wouldnt do that with is if you are visually acquiring and dropping.
