I'm so glad i found this video to learn how to do it but i still havent figured how did you change the direct mode to I-TGT mode if it's the f button mine goes to the next ammunition ?
In my I-TGT there's no SLEW button, there's a MSG button instead, which doesn't seem to do anyrhing. Has this been changed? Is there a different way to lock your targeting pod on to a grid or map location?
Hey dude. I have a problem, I'm using the planes from the aws mod creator but no weapons are showing in the ams. Do you have an idea on what's going on?
@@Hornet_221 first of all thank you very much for the lightning quick response. I am sure that all of that is ok, but that when I go on the ams, I select an sta and the only options I get is clean and empty
bro i am using multiple target for gps bomb and i do everything correct but sometime is caution gps data notfound weapon will disable it happend when i switch new target, it's bug? PS. sorry for my bad english
You gotta make sure youre sending the correct data to the correct bomb , so if youre carrying multiple bombs, try to know which bomb is next to drop in the order, or set the pylon priority as shown in the video to ensure the correct bomb drops, otherwise the wrong bomb with drop with no data sent to it
to lock a target on the sensor for any lock-and-fire munition, its T while looking at it in the crosshair, or R to cycle through available targets in the sensor area. To lock the ground via the targeting pod, you can use LCtrl+T if in the Pilot seat, though some WSO/Co-Pilot seats require you to zoom in (+ on numpad) and then move the camera to the desired spot, then let go of your mouse to keep it stationary on the target. This will not track moving vehicles unfortunately
@@Hornet_221 I tried everything but the copilot seat with a tgt pod can’t lock vehicles even when it is stationary. So, I have to “tracking manually” let the mouse where I want the bomb falls??
Hey man, for some reason if i use entirely GBU-31's, or GBU-38's on more than 2 pylons, I-TGT simply doesn't appear. I mean not the screen, just the option to open i tgt just isn't there. Is this a bug, or something I'm doing wrong?
if you have the FIR AWS mod loaded, you can find it under the empty (yellow section) Supplies, Ammo, FIR Objects, or type in the search bar "Missile Carrier for Rearming"

really great informative video ive been struggling a lot with jets but this helps.
great video
Good job.
I'm so glad i found this video to learn how to do it but i still havent figured how did you change the direct mode to I-TGT mode if it's the f button mine goes to the next ammunition ?
So if the bomb youre using is GPS capable, itl have 2 firing modes. One in direct mode, the other in I-TGT mode
@Hornet_221 so just by clicking f, it should switch to the correct mode without going to the next ammunition. i think i got it. Thank you
Awesome video. Thank you for this. That stream effect for when you bank and turn, is that vanilla or is there a mod for that?
Both actually, originally it was an effect that Firewill added, but after some updates now the vanilla game has a similar effect
@@Hornet_221 awesome, yea i just started flying with FIR AWS but good to know.
Thanks Hornet!
Great video. How do you get a lock with air-to-air missiles with the F-16 and other firewill planes? I can never get a lock on other aircraft.
might need to have your radar on aswell but pressing T when you have them in your sights should enable the lock-on.
thanks sm

it may have been removed, but theres a mod for Turret Enhanced that will allow you to use an option in the scroll menu to slew the TGP to the map
Hey dude. I have a problem, I'm using the planes from the aws mod creator but no weapons are showing in the ams. Do you have an idea on what's going on?
Double check if the Fir AMS mod is loaded, and that the missile rack for rearming is nearby, other than that try validating your files

POI says "tracking mode not activated"? I'm in I-TGT and pointing towards my target?
Have you locked the targeting pod to the terrain? Left control + T

Why the copilot can't lock targets with Left ctrl + T? Help!

Lctrl+t doesn’t lock your targeting camera?

Are you running any other mods? What airframe are you in, are the bombs firewills or another mods
@@Hornet_221 Yeah i'm running quite a lot of other mods, and yes the bombs are from firewill i believe. Thanks for the instant response!
@@Hornet_221 I'm in an F-16C btw
What camo is that on the f-16? Looks sick
Its the Lizard splinter pattern
@@Hornet_221 hmm that’s weird I don’t see that one specifically on the drop down menu. I see Ag_lizard but that’s it
@@_Ranger01_ it is an aggressor camo pattern, so AG Splinter has a black/white, blue, and lizard pattern
1 question tho, how do i turn on the radar?
Ctrl R
Or shift R one of the two, or use scroll menu
How u open that camera to lock
to enter the TGP its Lctrl + Right Click, to lock it on terrain its Lctrl + T
Hey, man! Could you share your graphic settings and list of graphic mods you use? Or could you share the whole mods preset for downloading?
No major graphic mods, blastcore, real engine and just increasing saturation to 120
@@Hornet_221thats it?
Can you give map mods from this video?
The map is Livonia from the Contact DLC
I can't find missile carrier🤔
