Tholozor Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Negative, pre-planned coordinates can only be created via the UFC, or through the (not yet available) data cartridge. You can use the targeting pod to create TOO coordinates.

Tholozor Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 (edited) That video is out-of-date, the ability to transfer coordinates from TOO to PP was found out to be unrealistic behavior and removed in a patch after the date on that video.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.

_mu110_ Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 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. Check out my skins and mods on the User Files.

vctpil Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 Coordinates are accurates if you record them with the tgp when you fly over the target.

Habu_69 Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 As an alternative, one can quite effectively use the TGP to designate targets for JSOW in TOO mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was originally setting TOO coordinates with WYPT's but it was so inaccurate as to be pointless.

VDV Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 In todays Hornet mini-updates, Wags has mentioned Snowplow mode. What mode is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebihepp Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) I remember SnowPlow as a submode of A/G-Radar. But here it is definitively not about A/G-Radar...

VDV Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I remember SnowPlow as a submode of A/G-Radar. Fingers Crossed... 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.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTRMcrew Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I don't know if it's an official term. But as it sounds (picture a snowplow). That's where it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_mu110_ Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 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. Check out my skins and mods on the User Files.

DeathAngel1 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 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? ..:NAVY PILOTS ARE THE THE BEST PILOTS:.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDieing Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 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. ''Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction.''

oldcrusty Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fri13 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Coordinates are accurates if you record them with the tgp when you fly over the target. 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. i7-8700k, 32GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 2x 2080S SLI 8GB, Oculus Rift S. i7-8700k, 16GB 2666Mhz DDR4, 1080Ti 11GB, 27" 4K, 65" HDR 4K.

fitness88 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Can someone please explain why we need to lase a target from our plane after LST searches and finds a buddy lase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KlarSnow Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 The LST doesnt know how far away the laser spot is, all it knows is theres a spot "over there" and points at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitness88 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KlarSnow Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
