Hornet GPS Ordnance Features

[Zodiacc]

Hey guys, I did not fly with the hornet for a long time and trying to figure out new features.I did my research about JDAM/JSOW Auto-Loft & FD Modes but all of the topics are out to date.

Question is Release Options (AUTO-LOFT, FD) and Terminal Parameters(HDG, ANGLE, VELOCITY) implemented or not ? I tried every thing but it doesnt change anything.

Nope, only the terminal parameters are implimented to some extent.

Yeah terminal parameters on GBU-38 only, the other weapons are just point and shoot only.

All JDAMs have terminal modes, the 31 and 32 are just big and heavy so only moderate terminal maneuvering is possible.
Also I am not sure about the accuracy of the angle and velocity setting. The bomb attempts to satisfy individual settings to some degree but with multiple settings set, it just does the heading.
Maybe they are more useful with a relase point set and with some high level planning done before the mission. (not really possible in DCS) Who knows...

Last time I checked, they didnt do anything. As indicated by the lack of HDG UDF as the default heading like GBU-38 has.
