Swift. Posted February 28, 2021 Posted February 28, 2021 The mechanics for simultaneous QTY drops are already in DCS. It's just super buggy, so no one ever does it. Also the LAR indications on the HSI will need updating. 476th Discord | 476th Website | Swift Youtube Ryzen 5800x, RTX 4070ti, 64GB, Quest 2

Every time I select a QTY, it’s time to grit the teeth and hope they all come off, rather than expect. Multiple attack points are more than just QTYs though. Each target needs its own target triangle symbol on the HSI, along with its own LAR shape that takes into account the terminal parameters. The overlapping part of the LARs should then represent the IN ZONE area to fly into to drop. So yeah, some work to do. But it should be coming, it’s on the roadmap.

Precisely, it works its just bugged. I wouldn't classify it as something that ED need to explicitly list on their roadmap or anything. 476th Discord | 476th Website | Swift Youtube Ryzen 5800x, RTX 4070ti, 64GB, Quest 2

I’m saying there’s more to it than what’s modelled already....additional symbols and indications etc. The concept of a QTY release with with different targets and different term parameters and the indication of a single IN ZONE LAR is a pretty big task I imagine. There’s a bunch of related JDAM features that are still to do and they are on roadmap. Edited February 28, 2021 by AvroLanc
