QTY release should allow you to drop 4 JDAMs in a single pickle. This is how it should work based on available sources: So dropping 8 jdams may not be realistic but how about two or four jdams? I have watched the following tutorials with every step, (tried is like 10 times already) When i dont undesignate and i try to drop the bombs, they all just fall on the first target. when i press the nosewheel / undesignate (pinky on my warthoh hotas) all my coordinates are gone from the TOO mfd.and not a single JDAM finds a target (they just fall out of the sky.) Now comes my problem, at the last target i need to undesignate. I continue this process until my 8 targets are done
I step (my STA8 now have TOO1 & TOO2) to STA2 I select TOO2 and i slew to my next target (not depressing) I use my TGP to find the first target and i press TDC depress 8JDAMs -> i place every station in TOO / efuz instant / release type MAN / select the stations to be used - quantity I created a mission with 8 tanks in front of me I'm having an issue regarding my JDAM in TOO mode. Then press ENT and the data page should look like this.I'm new to this forum and i hope this question is in the right spot, if not please correct me :). Push INSERT to highlight it and let the jet know we’re inserting waypoints to this sequence. Then, from the WYPT DATA page press the SEQUFC key on the bottom left to bring up the following menu. First go to the bottom right of the HSI and select SEQ1, SEQ2, or SEQ3 as desired, for this tutorial we’ll stick with the default SEQ1. Now that all our waypoints are created, it’s time to sequence them into a flight plan. You can also use the above steps to edit existing waypoints as you need. Now, repeat the above steps for waypoints 2 through 6. With the data entered, the HSI page should look like this now. If you so wish you can now push ELEV to enter an elevation in feet, since the flight planner does not currently communicate with the ATC Navlog this is just purely for “procedural accuracy” at this time though.
Now press 1 1 6 3 5 1 6 0 0 and then ENT. You should now see the following on the UFCD.įrom here press POSN then ENT and the screen will change to thisįor waypoint 1 we’re going to press 3 3 0 8 4 3 0 0 then ENT, this will return us back to the POSN page, press W followed by ENT. We’ll now have the following screen, from here we’re pushing UFC on the top left. Then we’re going to press the DATA key on the top right. ĭepending on how complex your flight plan is, it can be a good idea to keep a list handy of which waypoint will be which for this demo flight plan we will be making use of the following waypointsĪlright, let’s start up the jet at KNKX and get to entering our flight plan.įirst we’re going to go to the HSI and press the up arrow on the right side to change the waypoint value to 1. For example let’s take the Nellis AFB TACAN LSV Since we’re not putting munitions on a target, it’s acceptable to take the standard 2 digit seconds value and just add 00 to it. The data entry for waypoints in the simulated F-18E uses precise degrees minute seconds for entry, as such it’s looking for a 4 digit seconds entry. The flight plan we’ll be making today is based on the flight plan from the Startup + Basic TACAN Navigation guide found here F/A-18E Startup + Basic TACAN Navigation. This guide assumes basic familiarity with starting and handling the jet. Hello virtual Hornet pilots, this guide will walkthrough how to enter, edit, and delete waypoints in the F/A-18E, as well as creating a flightplan via waypoint sequencing.
