I know the JDAM isn't out right now for the f-15E but is there a timeline at all for when it will be? I'm a huge fan of them and dumb bombing things is kicking my butt...

No

Intel i7-12700K @ 8x5GHz+4x3.8GHz + 32 GB DDR5 RAM + Nvidia Geforce RTX 2080 (8 GB VRAM) + M.2 SSD + Windows 10 64Bit

DCS Panavia Tornado (IDS) really needs to be a thing!

hope it's not for end of year or next year ... F15 + gbu38 will be amazing. Actually with our loadout it's not possible to strike in mission with many SAM.

It’s more complicated and demands more from the Crew and as in realife SEAD support.

Yep, need JDAMs to use with the fancy A2G radar. That's gonna be good fun.

You can still use the radar to plan your target drop for a LONG way out.

Yeah, was playing with it before. Good fun. But with JDAMs you can set up your own little pinpoint Arc Light strike from 30,000' and take out maybe eight targets in one lovely tight series of badabooms!

 

It's a great show to watch on the MFD. :smoke:

Some of the planes, but all of the maps!

Plus preplan from the ground while waiting for a NAV Align. Could probably carry close to a dozen GBU-38's on the bomb truck call Eagle. Pictures online are showing 6 on each CFT. Plus 4 under the belly...16 JDAMs....That's 8,000lbs of boom boom...Per Eagle 😆

The upper CFT stations are not wired for data. They can physically carry JDAMs, but they cannot employ them. 

The max GBU-38 load is three per fuselage rack, one on centerline, and one on each wing pylon for nine total.

As of 2021, 53rd Air Wing successfully deployed 15 JDAMs on an F-15E.

I believe the 15 JDAM loadout was not actually intended for employment but rather transport to forward bases.

This is correct. There was an article about this on The Aviationist a while back. They call this a "tac-ferry" configuration, and it is used simply to transport bombs to a forward operating base. It stated in the article that this is more bombs than a Strike Eagle can use on one mission.

Yeah, I didn't read the article...Only ferry? That's lame....😕 9 isn't bad but considering what the Hornet can carry to this big B of an Eagle, you'd figure a heck of a lot more.

Taking in count:

9 JDAMS + 4 AIM120 + Range with that loadout i think is quite impressive. 

The Hornet isn´t going to far away with 8 JDAMS hanging out by its own fuel.

He includes the current LUA file for them. It doesn't have a fall line for AUTO release or a TREL indicator on the HUD...Hell, I'll still roll with it.

How do you and where do you put the LUA file in the Eagle folder?

Yeah i went into the .lua file and i just removed some "restriction" you can do it on your own, you need NOTEPAD+. The F15E .lua is located in the coremods/f15e in you're DCS install.

Dont forget to make a backup file and if you have absolutely no clue what your are doing, take some time on google to learn a bit about it.

So far, GBU31 work for sure, i havent test GBU38, GBU54 dosent show up on page, GBU15 dosent work, nor MAV / AGM130 / AGM 154. On the other end, AIM9X does work, GBU27 and GBU28 also work. So it's a sort a "try and error". I think those last 2 werent add into the release due to "old model". But i dont mind so much.

PS : This is an early acces, modifying the .lua to access unfinished feature come with possibles issues.

Well, actually you should have a SEAD/DEAD flight and an escort of F-15C... Multirole does not mean everything at once.

JDAM and JSOW are nice, but LGB and toss bombing are your friend, as well. 😉
