You got a sub out of me for these videos. Lots of tutorials out there showing you the basic steps to get through the process, but like any good educator you don't stop there and go into all the little tips and tricks to watch out for. THIS is how you make a tutorial. I'd say I wish they'd implement this depth of instruction into the in-game tutorials...but then there'd be no reason to watch yours. You deserve far more love from the DCS community. Much appreciated!
Good stuff! You have a gift for clear demonstrations free of fluff. I like the idea of prepping weapons on the ground, it frees up time for SA, and I never thought about using couple AP mode. Whenever I see questions, I send people straight to your vids.
U can do your vids better if you say the buttons that i need to press. Like the target designator i have the x56 how can i tune the axis in the right way?
After drop the coupled aircraft banked left. Won’t that mask the pod if it’s on the left cheek? How far until in turn until pod is masked? Or was the target off to port?
When you are that close to target then aircraft can only really bank left or else it will mask the pod immediately with a right bank as the pod is on the left cheek station. It only has to be in view for approximately 40-50secs for bomb to track and hit target so masking shouldn’t be an issue in that time frame.
Awsome video. Just to explain what happens: When you have Coupled Auto Pilot for Auto Bombing selected, what ever your HSEL is set at, the jet will select HSEL once bomb hits target. Its always a good idea to select the direction you would like to exit.
Only thing I would add to this is to NOT arm the laser until you've found your next target and are lining up on it, or you'll burn out the laser if it's on too long. I've done this before and then you have to land and re-arm to change your targeting pod.
Arming the laser doesn’t burn it out AFAIK, I thought if you actually fired the laser manually for too long continuously it burns out but I most definitely could be wrong 🧐
Why though. U just let it tilt ? Won't u press trim to trim it. Or does it not work . Mine doesn't work too well if too heavy on one side? Please help..
Depends on the situation mate, if I’m going to drop the other side straight away I won’t bother trimming it out because it will be all good again once the other station has been dropped. It’s personal preference mate, if you don’t want to put a stick input to correct the roll you trim it out, if you’re ok with holding the stick to maintain level flight then that’s cool too
Haha, there are many ways to skin the cat, I usually put the heavier bombs on outboards purely because I’m going to drop those first and if I get jumped by enemy CAP my Centre of gravity will be in closer to the wings with smaller munitions fitted there letting me be more manoeuvrable to BFM or dodge missiles. If shit really hits the fan though it’s the admirals doorbell and seeya later all stores to keep me able to fight and live another day

Another EXCELLENT tutorial. You have a gift for teaching if the students have an equal gift for listening and then learning by doing. Thank you, mate.
Cheers mate, appreciate the kind words. Glad it made sense to you 👌🏻
Happy to see you back
Thanks mate

Cheers mate 🙏🏻 appreciate you spreading the word
Thank you for making this F/A-18C Laser guided bombing tutorial video for us.
No worries mate hopefully it made sense for you
So nice hearing another Aussie accent. Great video!
Cheers mate, GO THE AUSSIES 🇦🇺
Awesome refresh of the Dummies series. Small things have changed in the Hornet and this new series is the go to as far as I am concerned.
Cheers mate, glad it helped
Thank you for these tutorials . I am especially looking forward to the GPS bomb (with toss bombing please) and the HARM.
Thank you.
Yeah I will do an advanced bombing tutorial for JDAM and Laser guided toss bombing in the future
Thx man ur vids are fantastic
My pleasure mate, glad they are helping
U can do your vids better if you say the buttons that i need to press.

Lg amazing video
Cheers mate glad you enjoyed
Thanx !
Thx bud-love to revisit info
No worries mate
Thanks🇳🇴🇳🇴🤙
No worries matey
Curious about moving targets. Can you drop bombs on moving targets?
Nice
Yeah buddy 👌🏻
23:40 Is there a HOTAS binding for Wide/Med/Nar FOV on the FLIR or do you have to use the OSB every time?
With the FLIR as you selected sensor you can use your radar elevation up and down HOTAS binds to zoom in and out mate
Love! The introduction... "Welcome back fuckers..." 😂 Classic
Haha thanks mate

@@AdrianFourie that makes sense 👍🏻 thanks for clearing it up!! Legend!!

@@TorniQuetHD maybe that's what I was doing. Firing it manually and forgetting to turn it off.
Can you make your trackir profile available somewhere?
I’ve got it available on my discord mate 👍🏻
"Made in Russia" DCS should probably update actual penetration capabilities of al Russian armor, turret Olympic effect included.
That would be amazing to see the turret go flying off into the air 😎
Is it working for moving targets?
As long as the TPOD can get a point track lock on the moving target the bomb should track the laser no problems
Bro why didn't you trim the plane if was tilting ?
Why though. U just let it tilt ? Won't u press trim to trim it. Or does it not work . Mine doesn't work too well if too heavy on one side? Please help..

You don’t put the heavier munition on the outboard pylon. Disappointed.

you forgot to switch from Radar Alt to Baro 😜
Haha I just leave it in RADAR ALT for entire mission, it will catch me out someday I’m sure
awful quality.....nothing see in the screens.
I am back let's see if I can do it better now after learning from deephack video.
