Thanks Weapon time on target or time over steerpoint, if you compare it with your DED you see that it indicates time in certain ways. it basically indicates some sort of time related to the steerpoint/spi and weapon you got selected and delivery mode (Pre/vis), i think Edited July 11, 2022 by _SteelFalcon_ 1

Here is the screenshot from yt video and there one can see the time to target indication with the same weapon and its mode. is it a bug or there is a condition that triggers this indication?

Frederf Posted July 12, 2022 Posted July 12, 2022 The three lines of text should be for JSOW: Window 10, Sensor code letter and range (horizontal range for PRE, slant range for VIS) Window 13, Time over target* (PRE) or blank (VIS) in H M S Window 14, Time to Rmax2 outside Rmax2, blank inside Rmax2, time to impact after release (PRE) or steerpoint number and distance before designate (VIS) and then as in PRE after designate *TOT indicates the system time at predicted impact (plus time to get inside Rmax2 if not currently). The contents of windows 10, 13, 14 should are harmonized for JDAM, JSOW, WCMD, and PWIII. It looks like DCS is showing something like CCRP still so it's not quite right. In any case "154543" is saying that something is going to happen at 3:45pm and 43 seconds. It should be weapon impact but it might be currently in DCS entering Rmax2 or it might be release or it might be flying over the steerpoint. 2 4
