Bomb TOss Procedure

[AKA_Clutter]

All,

 

I am trying to learn how to do toss bombing. I have seen one video on YouTube and have tried that method. Listed below is the basic procedure that I have followed with the exception that I have set a separate profile for the CBU-97 with Pairs selected and CCRP as the mode of release.

 

One problem that I am having is that as make my low level run-in to target (100-200 feet) I get the "Invalid fusing" Message. If I then come at the target from a more normal altitude (100 + feet) I can drop using the same profile.

 

Can someone help?

 

Thanks,

Clutter

 

 

 

 

1. Set steerpoint to SPI

2. Bring up TGP

3. Set TGP Latch on if desired

4. Make TGP SOI

5. Slave TGP to SPI

6. Select target in TGP, set to POINT mode

7. Go to DMS

8. Select bombs and set to drop in pairs (set profile)[video used CBU-87]

9. Select CCRP mode

10. Stay low

11. Align TVV with SPI

12. Pull up While keeping weapon aligned with Azimuth steering line

The A10 does not have enough speed to make toss bombing quite that effective.

 

You would prob get more standoff distance by bombing from altitude than trying to lobb bombs from down low.

I think it is related to the Escape Maneuver for the release of the bombs. I believe you have to set it to climb.

In the Beta Manual (don't know the page for the release version :doh:), on page 529, it is shown the DSMS page for General Purpose and Cluster Bombs; there you can change as required.

I can't test it myself, 'cause I'm away from my beloved DCS:A-10 at the moment :cry:; but it is the first thing that comes to mind regarding this problem.
