mission 9 part 2 sa10

[ayousry]

hello

been a long time since i fired up DCS , although am experienced with it and the f18c , i tried the mission more than 9 times, the JDAM never reachs the sa10 , last time it did but the sa10 wasnt harmed at all!!

is the JDAM bugged in dcs for now ? or its something with the mission?

i just watched the utube vid of mission 9 and i dont think i did anything wrong with setup or flying

Hey @ayousry

Have you got a track of your mission, that would be very useful to see what you are doing.

I am not aware of an issue with the JDAM's at the moment but that's not to say there isn't one. If it is it will be a main DCS issue and not anything in the campaign as we have no control over the fall of weapons.

Things to check is make sure you have set up the JDAM precise coordinates correctly and selected the correct entry format. Make sure you have activated the fuse. Also make sure you are well clear of the hill before releasing.

Which version are you using normal or EZ refuel. Are you running any mods?

I will check it out this end but your track will be invaluable

Hey @ayousry

Could you send me the DCS track so I can see what is happening. Thanks.

Hey @ayousry

Thanks for the track.

From what I can see you are making a mistake when putting in the coordinates. When entering the first set of coords you selected PPL1 at the top of the screen, which you did. But after you stepped to the next bomb you needed to select PPL2 on the top tab so that the second bomb has different coords.  Not sure what overwriting the PPL1 for the second bomb does to the first bomb. This could be why it is falling short and you are hitting the second target and not the first.

Others tips: Do not fly so high when you pass over the last ridge , there  is no need and you overexpose yourself. Just clear the ridge and fly towards target you will get in range but make sure you are clear of the ridge slope  before release.

Noticed your aircraft was not actually pointing directly to the target on release  which does make it harder for the bombs to correct their trajectory.

I will check the mission out yourself but hopefully the above helps you.

i was trying to loft it , also wierd casue i always use PPL1 to set coordiantes to both bombs and it work i also think the guy on youtube vid did that, i remember long time ago i used to play the mission and always failed at the MIG engagement part not this one and i was using same technique i used in the track

anyways thanks for the tip i'll retry the mission using those techniques

Hey @ayousry

Just checked regarding PPL 1 designating different targets for each station. You are correct. I have normally used a different PPL for each target. 
Will fly the mission and get back to you.

EDIT: Just did edited test on mission. Located player approaching target with enemy on weapons hold. Punched in coords , both on PPL1 and both bombs hit their targets. So will do fly through to check then also.

Hey @ayousry

Just flew mission. No problems, hit both targets. Must be something you are doing your end. 
I could send you my track if you want. This tested on latest Open Beta.
 

[ayousry]

its becoming frustrating!!! just flew another one and the same thing happened the bombs fell short of target, maybe the harsh maneuver i did when evading the manpads makes the bombs gyro go haywire?

@ayousry you have sent me the wrong track. This from another mission/campaign.

Can you confirm you are playing the normal version of Mission 9 part 2, not the EZ refuel version, you are fully up to date, and you are not running any mods?

I am sending you a private message with a link to my test track. This showing the bombs both hitting.

Hope this helps.
