GumidekCZ Posted November 16, 2021 Posted November 16, 2021 (edited) Hi @BIGNEWY , we need budy datalink so much. There are couple of good reasons to have it asap. INRL in Hornet manual is described, that any release other than simultaneous (single or ripple) is PROHIBITED for weapons like AGM-62 Walleye / GBU-24 / MK-60 / MK-65. This is due to exceedign maximum authorized lateral weight asymmetry is 26,000 foot-pounds. EDIT: in video posted bellow, there can be seen multiple Hornet Walleye releases with only single drop from stations 2 or 8. I dont know if this was allowed only for testing purposes or not, also it cant be recognized from poor quality video, if it is Walleye I or II (big weight difference) - I suppose it was II (bigger and larger wings - so my next grey text is now not true exactly. We clearly see, that fight with Hornets trim and controls we are experiencing with every signle release form stations 2 and 8 was not alowed to do IRL. This insane flight control battle is result only of lack of Buddy Datalinked Guidance - which was promised to have so long time ago, that I cant even found the post. DCS Hornet MANUAL (page 298): "Pod Antenna Option. The A ANT option selects the aft antenna of the data link pod. It is boxed when selected. The selection allows forward and aft antenna control of the data link pod. This can be useful when self-guiding (aft antenna) or potentially guiding for another aircraft (forward antenna)." This is still not working in DCS Also would be such a great thing to have for AGM-84 SLAM/ER datalink DL13 guidance via AN/AWW-13 pod. Edited November 16, 2021 by GumidekCZ
GumidekCZ Posted November 16, 2021 Posted November 16, 2021 (edited) Datalink DL-13 with AWW-13 pod described (notice the word about wingmen controll guidance and Datalink-13 range of 200 nm) On Hornet, there is picture from Gulf with AWW-13 carried on station 2 with Walleye carried on station 8. The imbalance was solved with wing external fuel tank carried on opposite side. Edited November 16, 2021 by GumidekCZ
