Awesome functions... quick question, in the future the pilot will be able to ask for Jester to use these?
Sure thing
You can already do the Offset stuff via the Bombing Tool. Temporary Freeze/Insert binds are available to the pilot with the next patch.
Great vid! Will try this tonight.
Thanks for video
THX for the good video. But I cannot slew my radar/offset cursor around in map mode like you showed. In A2A mode or for the Pavespike slew controls it work perfectly, but not in Radar Map Mode. Is this a bug at the moment?
We are currently not aware of such a bug. Make sure the radar is in MAP mode, the screen on RADAR (not TV) and the pilot selected delivery mode OFFSET or TGT FIND. Then slew with the along/cross track wheels (or with the antenna stick if you enabled the Special Option that lets you use that instead) :)
great video, did you find a manual on how to do that? seems like the good sources for the WSO stuff is really rare! Keep them coming!
Zab is an HB dev - and their manual is pretty handy for some of these concepts, although I must admit hearing the dev explanation helps a lot :)
The manual kinda explains it, but falls a bit short on connecting the dots. Like, it says that WRCS acquisition mode shows the current WRCS target - but you would have to explore the WRCS chapter to learn how to set WRCS targets and probably need to be exposed to some real-pilot stories to get some of these ideas. Definitely would make sense to expand the Pave Spike manual chapter on this topic a bit 👍
@@Zabuzard having sections in the manual that actually explain the workflow for a particular system with a practical example in mind makes for a much more accessible way to explain the content. Also lets people refer to the training missions made and try the techniques explained out.
Top notch videos! For that last clip did you use the pavespike as you would with a GBU but with dumb bombs to achieve that result? Keep up the great work 🤙🏼
Yeah exactly. The system can be used for dumb bombs perfectly fine as well. In fact, if you happen to have a Pave Spike, I would generally prefer TGT FIND as it is just like a CCRP delivery in other planes. Point the pod somewhere, hold Bomb Button, follow the steering cues and wait for the release. Its so simple. And almost as previse as Dive Toss! It even allows you to do small loft deliveries out of the box by just flying a slight pitch up while you wait for the bombs to release. Can also be interesting to loft LGBs a bit further.
@@Zabuzard Hello, I have been trying this, but the precision is terrible. The bombs always fall to the side about 300 meters away, no matter what I do.
To the side? Sounds like either your INS is borked or you are not following the steering cues for lateral alignment. If it would be short/long I would suspect wrong drag coefficient for the given altitude, speed and bomb, but not if they hit to the sides
Arma 3 changed a lot :o

To be honest, I can’t understand absolutely anything... If I simply repeat the actions after you in the video, the container does not “bind” to the target. When I press the button "freeze" nothing happens. In your video, the “voice” says the coordinates.
When you hit the FREEZE button, the WRCS remembers your current aircraft coordinates at the time of hitting the button. Now, you can enter offset coordinates into the WRCS panel. Either manually or via using the radar offset cursor. Hit the INSERT button and the WRCS will interpret the entered offset data relative to the aircraft position when you hit FREEZE earlier. The resulting position will now me remembered as WRCS target.
When the Pave Spike is in WRCS-Acquisiton mode (the 3-way switch on the panel), it will cue itself to said WRCS target.
I'm having the same issue. I think there are a number of other settings not mentioned. I believe you have to be in delivery mode > tgt find, also it looks like you have to activate half action on the hand control trigger. Still trying to find out why I'm also not getting the voice and the freeze button does not light either.
@@chillm2 Yes, the video assumes that you know the basics of the pod already. Check the linked manual or other videos on TH-cam.
TGT FIND is the delivery mode used for the pod. It will also trigger Jester to ready up the pod. If you are the WSO, you don't need this to operate the pod. Half Action let's the pod enter and leave tracking mode. In the video you want to be in acquisition mode, the default.
For this videos content, it's enough to turn on the pod, put it into WRCS ACQ mode and set the DSCG to display TV instead of Radar. At that point, the Pave Spike shows whatever is the current WRCS target.
The back cocpit please
@@KhaledAwni The majority of the video shows the WSO cockpit 👍
