JDAM Ripple

[H60MTI]

Does anyone know off hand if JDAM ripple is working or not yet? I have DCS running but I'm in a Hornet at the moment but just finished dinner and about to toss my kiddos in the shower for school tomorrow. Dad mode engage...Just wondering if anyone has tried it lately.

Propper ripple where you press and hold pickle until everything is off? Not sure. For "ripple" I usually set direct mode and rapid-pickle the bombs until everything's off the jet.

Anecdotally, I had issues with JDAM single-release when the selected weapon was not the "next in sequence" to come off the jet. Maybe it would work better when the full set of stores is in 1 PACS program and it's rippled like that?

I usually have 3 profiles. 1 for CFTs, 1 for under wings and last for centerline. Would be great if all 9 JDAM stations would work on 1 profile. Just pickle 9 times and unleash a lotta boom. Or have ripple work, just press and hold...

So there are at least 2 bugs here keeping us away from just holding the button and rippling all 9 JDAMS.

1. The Ripple Single won't work because we can't set Quantity - it's locked at 0. Idk if it's different IRL for smart weapons (and correct as is) or just the ripple doesn't work with our F-15E's JDAMs. All the tutorial videos shown for JDAM in F-15E use STEP anyway. And of course other bombs work fine with ripple.

2. We can have all 9 JDAMS in one program but the last station (1LCFT) cannot be selected for target coords transfer unless you release some or all (idk atm) bombs. So the last one has to be set during the bomb run (just one click on PB1 if you have the designation already and 1.5s later you can pickle).

Having tested that last night it is doable - all 9 GBU-38s hit their targets in one pass
