dporter22 Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 In the Manual Mode bomb training mission it says that the INT value is the number of feet between bombs and he has you input 100 feet, but on the bomb profile page it shows the INT value is MS. I assume this means milliseconds or meters. Either way, MS is not feet. Can anyone clarify please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that INTerval is always feet (FT), just when MANual mode is selected the INTerval it’s Milliseconds (MS).

dporter22 Posted June 7, 2022 Author Share Posted June 7, 2022 If INT is feet, then why does the profile page indicate MS instead of FT? And if MS means milliseconds, is it milliseconds between releases or milliseconds between impacts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederf Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Computer bomb spacing is in distance (feet). Manual bomb interval is in time (milliseconds). They try to refer to space-like intervals as "distance" and time-like intervals as "interval". I think the F/A-18 might use "interval" for both. In any case manual bombing data entry is always time. It's not computed so it's not feet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, so the training mission is incorrect when it refers to feet (you'd think they would double check these basic things in the training scenarios, along with all the spelling errors). And is the INT setting milliseconds between releases or impacts? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederf Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Always releases. And it would be interval between release events (eg qty 5 mult 2 interval 200) would be pair-200ms-pair-200ms-single. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dporter22 Posted June 8, 2022 Author Share Posted June 8, 2022 Copy. I guess the manual mode is not as accurate anyway so there's not really a way for it to ensure bomb impact spacing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
