Mission 2 CCIP / CCRP bug / bombs not hitting target

[Gripen 4-1]

Already posted in the bug section, but did not get an aswer yet:

If i am running in on an target with a CBU or an MK-82 the CCIP line/ cross is nearly horizontal. Did you set too much winds in this mission? It is nearly impossible to get a bomb on a target.

Also if I use CCRP /Auto  mode for the bombs, the are some hundred feet of the target. There is something wrong with too much  winds / weather so the bomb drifts off.

Tried the same with a training mission and the bomb is within a few feet near the target and destroyed it.

Any ideas?

Hi,

Sorry for late reply. We have experienced this from time to time. There was a bug around this issue. Could be NAV mode in use? Is it uncaged HUD?

Can anyone chip in here?

No, no NAV mode active. I was 100% in AG mode. First thought: OK, maybe CCIP is bugged, so let's try CCRP.

In CCIP I am not able to get the CCIP cross on the target, because it drifts so hard to one side.

In CCRP I am able to get the diamond exactely on the line an release the bomb, but the the bomb drifts off some hundred feet.

In DCS training missions the problem does not occur.

 

Sad to say, but it makes the mission unplayable

Working to fix this

After watching Torniquests excellent video here is a solution to the DCS F/A-18C Hornet CCIP, bomb aiming issue.

- This seems to have fixed the issue for us but be warned it could be related to INS alignment during start up. Hope this helps

We are not talking about the same thing. In the video the aiming line and the pipper (cross) is vertical as it should be and you can easily put it on the target. Winds and drifts are included in the calculation of the aim point (Continously Calculated Impact Point). That the bomb misses is an other problem.

It works flawless in the  DCS unguided bombs training missions, but  in your campaign/ mission it seems that there are heavy side winds, because the aiming line drifts heavy to one side 45° or even more; impossible to get the pipper on the target.

The point is: It works fine in other campaigns or missions but in your mission 2 it is impossible for me to get the pipper on the target, so I think this is a bug in the mission or campaign.

Not sure what this could be im afraid. We have experimented with wind but the method above using GPS mode seemed to resolve the issue for us.

Hi !

I have the same problem exactly, in mission 2 and 3, can't aim correctly, so can't use bombs.

Since I use auto start, I am thinking about ins alignement, but why doesn't it work properly ? will try with gps position as explained in the video and see if it works, but it is supposed to work with ins anyway.

Appart for this issue, the campaign is fantastic, lot of work, thank you.

Thanks for the feedback!

- Afraid we still do not know what this is, maybe auto start issue as regards INS? We solved this by switching to GPS mode in CCIP, see video below

The main issue here at play is that the INS drift also affects the CCIP pipper.

Depending on how you set up your mission/campaign, it could be that this leads to what users experience. Or it could also be incorrect setup by the user.

What's the date (year) these missions take place in? Is it before 1994?

Sounds like you're switching your INS mode to NAV, while it should be in IFA to make use of GPS. Can you confirm this is the case?

Pure INS navigation causes issues with CCIP in the current build.
