Harrier is currently my fav aircraft for CAS (against stationary targets). Manual start-up is easy and fast (if one is relaxed and skip some parts of the checklist). JDAMs from 25k altitude seem to glide quite a long distance (20 nm). Now if I could avoid the Kandahar style landings it would be perfect.
I am having issues adding the markers to my kneeboard page. I am hitting right shift + right alt and 8 but it does not populate the chart. I am selecting each target with a mark point, labeling it (only doing 5) and nothing.
I tried to do this today after I enter all the targets on F10 when I go to the Knee board I only have one page. I can't scroll as there doesn't seem to be 2nd, 3rd etc pages. Is this an issue from misdion editor or harrier? When I pause to check controls all the kneeboard keys are in orange too?
I'm still doing the learning tutorials, but seeing what the potential of the Harrier against ground targets is very nice.Now to find the same thing for the A10-C which I'm really trying to learn.
Check this: th-cam.com/video/3No1lKwh-es/w-d-xo.html The Harrier has it's +. But, once you learn the potential of the A10C you will find out that she will easy outperform the AV-8B :-)
@@marcelbakker6512 naaahhh the a10 is extremely slow and vulnerable to ground fire. Does poorly in most scenarios where air defense is expected. Not nearly as versatile as the harrier either.
@@Rokaize The a10c 2 is much better than the harrier. It has a HMCS, a MWS, it can carry more ordinance, more countermeasures, is incredibly fuel efficient and it has the best gun for ground attack.
@@kurtsvensson4362 The numbers just don’t work in your favor. The a10 didn’t do very well compared to its competition in the gulf war. And the gun can’t kill anything but soft vehicles anyway. The gun was almost never used during the gulf war due to fear of ground fire. In fact, the a10 is responsible for more friendly fire incidents than any other US aircraft in both the first and second gulf wars.
ive put the call signs like the video showed exactly! and i also play the beta but when i go to the cas recall page and to the knee board and then press rshift+ralt it doesnt put the target points in it . it always stays on no target data
The viggen in multiplayer exclusively relies on pulling from the F10 map if you plan on actually doing a mission. It's really easy actually and straight forward.
@@phreak761 I recommend to try open beta. For me it seemed to work better than the stable versions (I am using Steam version). Until recently stable version allowed only to select 4 targets while open beta allowed to select 10 JDAM targets.
What I'm wondering is if I'm playing on a server like GAW or PGAW you can't see the ground targets exactly on the map. I'm used to the F18 where I can open the GCI on a browser and find exact targets with exact coordinates and can enter them into the F18 Jdam as PP or even just as different waypoints in the hsi to release in TOO. On the F10 map there's no search functionality to copy paste coordinates to snap me there. I'd have to manually drag the mouse around trying to find the spot to put a marker which seems kind of tedious and slow. Am I correct in this is how it will have to be done or is there an easier way?
I just learned, recently got the AV8, that you do NOT need to laser range the target. I don't know if that is realistic or not. The TPOD for 18 didn't need it. Just pass the targeting data over to the bomb and drop. Usually I have to hit the button three times though to finally get set up to drop.
@@grimreapers The more I think about it, it doesn't make sense. Laser range only gives you the range to the plane. But the over ground distance isn't the same. Obviously the exact tech will be classified. I assume the system gets a gps determined altitude, barometric altitude getting pretty inaccurate at 20k, then camera angle from that point to determine exact location of target. With accurate position and altitude, pluse angle, math does the rest. I don't see the math working any other way. Laser range doesn't seem that useful.
Hey Cap, can you show how to use the JDAMs with just the DMT? I did it once but I forgot how I did it lol. Essentially it’s the creating of a target point using the DMT.
Hey Cap I have tested this and after marking the target with the TPOD and transferring the info to the GBU's I dropped the bomb without lasing it (I forgot to turn the laser on) and it was a perfect hit. Is this a bug or as designed?
My understanding: The laser is used for ranging data only to form the firing solution. The bombs target position is input from the Target co-ordinates, they don't track the Laser.
Is this still the correct way to use GPS JDAMS in PRE mode? I tried doing this the exact way you said, my CAS page is appropriately filled with the targets and the targets are marked T1, T2 and so on, but I do not get any ranging symbology on the HUD or EHSD with master arm ON and A/G mode selected. I have not found any information explaining why or how to fix. Anyone have any similar issues? I am only interested in trying to get PRE mode to work and therefor am not using the T-POD.
In PP Mode for ripple launch, I edit 6 targets (for example) on the map and then, when I load in the kneeboard, only 4 are loaded. In the MPCD, in CAS I have the 6 targets but only 4 are related to Targets 1 to 4. I try to edit the 2 that are not related, T05 and T06 manually, using the CAS page, USE, and in the UFC typing 5 and enter and 6 and enter, but they do not set as target 5 and 6. No way. Can you help me?

Is the Harrier the only plane you can pull data in from the F10 map? Specifically, is there a way in the A-10C and the Hornet?

Is it possible to load targets while flying or do I have to be on the ground? When I press Check Map for Target Locations in the air nothing happens.
Yes you can use the TPOD and TOO mode.
STILL no way to assign different JDAMs to different TPOD targets? (to drop all JDAMs on different targets in one single pass)
Do you still have to press the waypoint increment button a million times to designate a second TOO target?
hmmm not sure
Hey Cap, can you show how to use the JDAMs with just the DMT? I did it once but I forgot how I did it lol. Essentially it’s the creating of a target point using the DMT.
Weird, the manual says that you can;t do it through DMT because it was u must have a laser for ranging.

@@grimreapers Confirmed Nap Nic statement. Did a test run with 5 marked targets. TPOD still on standby and 100% hit rate :-)
Is it possible to enter PP coords manually, instead of using F10 user marks?
I second this is there a way to input coords. By hand.
I do have a on it yes. Try searching "grim reapers ATHS"
Curious weather TOO mode works on a moving target? I'm assuming not...
I don't believe they do. Since they are INS guided they aren't "tracking" a target like a laser guided bomb would. Hope that helps!
Is it possible to designate for JDAMS with the dual mode tracker?
Not that I'm aware of.
@@Aeronaut1975 Ah understandabl
e. Thanks!
@@roofortuyn you can with a TPOD, though.
The manual says no, because u need a laser ranger.

@@grimreapers I completely understand. It's almost completely unusable because razbam won't stop changing it
if pickle the release button, DCS crashes..
Yeh why does the harrier start rolling on idle power is that normal
It’s realistic. Most planes in real life produce enough thrust on idle power to start rolling.
In PP Mode for ripple launch, I edit 6 targets (for example) on the map and then, when I load in the kneeboard, only 4 are loaded.

Ok, I found out it is the DCS stable version and you use the OpenBeta. That is the reason
