Absolutely lovely. MIDS page obviously after pressing on the right DDI button. I am really hyped up to see the DDI pages coming alive with these useful features. Datalink and MIDS pages coming? very cool.
Just watched Clear and Present Danger (1994) and was surprised at how accurate the Hornet cockpit and instrumentation was. Apart from the myriad cautions on the left DDI, and the fact that the pilot dropped his 82LG while still on SAFE, it was better than most films.
Bit of datalink and MIDS going on there? :) How do you get the camera to do a flypast of the bomb, at the end? I've never seen that angle before. Great vid, thanks :)
Hey dude I believe he went into the free camera, Left Shift-F11 I think? from the weapon released camera and thus watched the bob fall from a fixed point where the bomb was.
@@Zadren well I did do a GoPro view tutorial, and honestly I am discovering new things about camera angles and things in DCS all the time, its amazing how many camera manipulation things ED put in. But I will def take a look at making a video like that for you.
I'm having an issue with JTAC not lasering after destroying 2nd target with GBU-12 bombs. They say "cleared hot" after I go through the sequence, but no "laser on". I'm dropping from about 15-20,000 feet. Perhaps I'm missing a step or something when in auto bombing mode. When I drop the bombs that miss, it seems like a dumb bomb and not tracking the laser. Any ideas?
Whats the best way to conduct AFAC so they can laser designate the target for you?I tried a reaper drone, when I first contact it, they said laser 1688 but as I made my attack run , they say 'no mark'..if I use a humvee to laser designate I have to place it very close which ends up in them getting killed, or killing the target themselves. Thanks!
i remeber to read that the M61A2 Vulcan is implemented in many US Airfighter will drop five unfired bullets after releasing the fire button everytime. caused by the rototation delay to stop when fire button was released. is this implemented in the models ?
i dont mean drop cases as do in ww2 fighters. i know that the cases stay inside the internal ammo pod. i meant cycle five live bullets back in the ammo pod by let off the fire button because of the six barrels when stopping rotating is delayed one rotation then fife live rounds where cycle out the gun back into the ammo pod. i try to find the source. think it was a book. maybe this problem was fixed and is obsolete.
This is going to be fun dropping LGB from 25,000 then dropped to 10,000 and busting the left overs with the 65F, btw Matt are we going to get diff Coods from the Jtac we can put into the hornets nav system?
@@banzaiib Might I ask where you got that time frame from? The most *I've* heard was that they're working on it. But I also haven't looked too deeply into it either.
Thanks for the work and beautiful aircraft that is shaping nicely, however I'm having a problem with the gbu bombs as im doing exactly like the video but the bombs can't be released like there is something preventing it from release. I talked with others and no solution so please can you help me with it. I'm setting it up like how you did and putting the code the Jtac gave me for the laser and it ain't releasing. But before i call the jtac everything works and it can be released but after i call the jtac it won't be released so why.
when I set up my gbu 12's in the F18, I get mode, mfuze and efuze options, but no option to enter code. I have AG mode selected, and master arm selected, and have the ready cue under the weapon in the ddi, but when I go to the ufc, the options it gives me is quantity and multiple, am I missing something?
Is there a way to punch in coordinance from the location he provides? I'm noticing all of the 9-nine videos with the F-18 result in a waypoint pre-assigned. I would like to punch in the UTM codes like I do on the A-10, but only see a L/L option on the F-18. Any suggestion?
@@johannesvogl2256 That gives degrees, decimal, minutes (DDM. In the Hornet you need degrees, minutes, seconds (DMS). If you try to enter a DDM coordinate it will not accept it. To convert you need to multiply the decimal fraction by 60 to get the amount of seconds. Which takes forever and is almost not possible on the fly, unless in active pause mode. I hope they implement something to help with this.
Great video Wags. Really looking forward for the LGBs. Just for curiosity: In the stores page the LGBs are shown as 82LG and 83LG. Why not as 10, 12 or 16?
Thanks again, Wags! Are those BRU-55's? Or are the BRU-33's capable of dual LGB's but not dual JDAM's? Didn't we already receive the Paveway's in the Early Access main version of DCS's update last week?
@@MattWagner Thanks Matt. I gather that the discussion about the availability of BRU-55's for the lot 20 has been settled in favor of the 33's? Or are 55's in the pipeline?
Were there any recent changes to the JTAC? I had some JTAC setup on my firing range but I think the previous beta patch made it break visual more, could be 'updatetitus' on my end though just asking :)
@@MattWagner so you take an empty waypoint (no waypoint data) and designate it? I think my real question is where did you get the waypoint data? Are you using the jtac position as the waypoint?
@@adaryltwillie4784. No, you set an exiting waypoint and set it as a designated target point. Waypoints can be created in the editor or in the cockpit from the HSI. Thanks
@@ledude114 I'm very curious as to when this will be fixed or improved on as well.. it's nearly impossible to use a calculator on the fly with good results unless active pause mode is on.
Has anyone used this to convert the coords yet? Going to give it a shot in a few day to see how accurate it is in game. legallandconverter.com/p50.html
I can load them on the hornet from the mission editor on the current open beta version , didnt have enough time to try if they work tho , is something wrong with my game or are they there just to work as unguided bombs and we'll get laser guidance for them next week
@@SGTcz90cz Yea I saw that, was kinda bummed. I didn't have the money then. I probably will get it either way but I'm gonna wait and see. Ive waited like 4 years for this. Nobody does flight sims better than DCS/lockon in my opinion.
Half the time JTACs tell me type 3 is in effect and fails to work properly. I've heard multiple people with JTAC failing or just flat out being unreliable. Is this issue being addressed? I've almost exclusively went to the agm65f because JTAC inconsistently lases when replaying the same mission.
@@MattWagner it's in an open field maybe 50m away from the target. It'll work one time I load the mission, then the next, it doesn't for a few times, then goes back to working for a couple more times. There's no LOS issue at all. F7 shows clear LOS to target. No obstructions.

Must be weird for you always hearing your own voice when playing the game
Absolutely lovely. MIDS page obviously after pressing on the right DDI button.

Can you attach those to the bottom of the aircraft so you can carry 10 bombs?
Sir its not an A10C
Idk tho, hopefully yes :D

1. Why does Mfuz not work

Frog in your throat, Wags? Get well soon!
Thanks for the updates.
One code is just for one target? "Unit is destroyed, Re-attack is authorized" means ask for a new code?
Reattack means that you are cleared to attack the same target or target wtihin the group. Thanks
Thanks Mr. Wagner
Will we eventually be getting a targeting pod
Eventually. Really eventually.
@@banzaiib Might I ask where you got that time frame from? The most *I've* heard was that they're working on it. But I also haven't looked too deeply into it either.
@@canopy9244 The two weeks comment by Brandon Hurley is a joke on things being released in two weeks.

Negative, but we do plan to increase the JTAC laser designation (for MULE) range to 3,000 meters. It's a bit too short right now.
This worked for me earlier now it doesnt matter what I do I just get an X through the bomb selection
