tech_op2000 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 (edited) Howdy folks, I am in Open Beta. Trying to learn to Drop JDAMS in TOO mode. First, What does GPS EHPE 18FT and GPS EVPE 18FT mean? I cant find any info on these two lines in either chucks guide or the harrier pocket guide. I don't see an alignment starting on the stores page when I select J82. What am I doing wrong? Edited February 19, 2021 by tech_op2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiroka Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 (edited) I’m gonna shoot a guess (and this is just a guess): Estimated Horizontal/Vertical Position Error Maybe calculated from the Dilution of Precision in the GPS signal? Don’t know if this (DOP) is modeled in DCS (would be interested if anyone does know)? Edited February 20, 2021 by Shiroka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wisky Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 the Harrier doesnt allign the JDAMs (yet) they are alligned as soon as you load them on your stores i did see that GPS message in the stores page even without JDAMs loaded. Possible that this is a placeholder for a soon to come alligning process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possible that this is a placeholder for a soon to come alligning process. In the tutorial videos and chucks guide, i would see "ALN QUAL 00 GOOD" when the J82 is powered on. I am not getting that message. and when selecting a target on the ground the pickle button wont release a bomb. Tips on what I might be missing?

tech_op2000 Posted February 21, 2021 Author Share Posted February 21, 2021 well, i have gotten to being able to drop jdams. i did not know i needed to hold the pickle for a few seconds. The ALN QUAL is still nowhere to be found though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAZBAM_ELMO Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 EHPE = Estimated Horizontal Position Error EVPE = Estimated Vertical Position Error Pickle must be held for the information to be transferred to the JDAM and then confirm pickle with the release cue. This is intended. The actual alignment I'd have to check and see if its done through the jet as soon as the aircraft is aligned or if it has to wait for no WoW. Ill check with the SME on that. Know and use all the capabilities in your airplane. If you don't, sooner or later, some guy who does use them all will kick your ass. — Dave 'Preacher' Pace, USN.

According to the SME, once power is provided to the jet and the aircrafts alignment begins, the JDAMs also get power and begin their alignment simultaneously. When the aircraft is aligned, so are the JDAMS. As this is implemented and working this will be marked AS INTENDED and moved to RESOLVED. Know and use all the capabilities in your airplane.
