Cap how do you go from F6 bomb view to the “camera release” and it stops following the bomb?

[@rollingpin31]

One suggestion I have for 23:25 you can left alt + left click on F10 map so you dont have to note it to yourself. Great stuff as always cap

[@grimreapers]

thx

[@spikymikie]

GBU's have come a very long way. I was in the USAF in the 80's, and I worked with GBU-15's early on at Nellis. They were camera guided .

[@RafaPolit]

I’m half way through the video, but I just had to comment: it’s so refreshing to see you again doing in-depth airframe-specific videos. I have really missed these. Thanks!

[@wilsonrawlin8547]

HOLY CRAP! That is extremely complex! You have put a lot of work and time into this for all of us to understand what is going on. Immense thanks to you for this. A ton of work and explanation.

[@grimreapers]

Thanks

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

I have been spending a lot of time in the F5E II and it's the anti-F15E. There you have to turn a knob to BOMBS, then flick the toggle switch for that bomb, place your gunsight pipper on 95 depression angle, line up your target and drop them @ 3500 feet. So simple. This is the opposite. Like everything else, it will be like a pig on roller skates the first few times you try, but eventually we will be whizzing thru it like it's old habit. Nice job to learn it so well and to be able to teach it so fluently. You're the best!

[@jmtpolitico80]

I am glad this helps people out! I am just into the Mission Videos cause I don't have any of this stuff now or will I anytime soon! But I will still and always support GR, CAP, & TEAM! Have fun guys, wish I could use DCS and learn it. But now is not the time for that...

[@GamingwithGunSmoke]

Been waiting for this tutorial! Thanks Cap!

[@miG-39]

Thank you so much cap I’ve been waiting for this video I love you ❤

[@bwheatley1]

thanks for the tutorials cap

[@Dierly_]

A better tpod and this will be amazing

[@sookiyoon]

Cap…you dont know the left alt and click for coords in the f10 map?

[@grimreapers]

Thanks

[@vexingrabbit1824]

Thanks for the tutorial, I was having some trouble with the new JDAMs in the strike eagle. Your video clear things up for me.

[@falcon9983]

Was excited for this production

[@johnbradshaw7525]

There is a bug when you try & equip the F-15E with a pair of the GBU-31(V)3 on the CFT racks. It shows that the GBU-31 is loaded on the armament screen, but there is nothing actually loaded on the jet. There is no issues when mounting a single GBU-31 (V)3 on the CFT racks.

[@grimreapers]

Yeh there's loads of bugs at moment I noticed. Will be fixed in next update I suspect.

[@battleaxes4874]

This Tutorial makes understanding complex configuration easy ! Thank You so Much GR ! You are God Sent !

[@abolfazlkiyani4787]

the one that missed i believe if you use your manal laser range finder you can get better accuracy when you are using TPOD

[@grimreapers]

Gotcha.

[@belgeode]

This has been the most epic tutorial I have ever seen from y'all. Thank you. I am woefully noobish with the Mudhen, but I am trying desperately to follow along. Good shacks!!

[@grimreapers]

Hi Bel. I still struggle in it TBH.

[@redtailpilot]

Holy hell, I've gotta start using active pause! 😂 Awesome job Cap 👍🏾

[@3dmax911]

you are amazing !! always looking for your tutorials in every new thing in DCS Thanks a lot

[@verycursedplane6557]

F15 owners prob been waiting for this moment

[@revenger681]

I'm happy with how easy all these methods are, it's really cool using the mission editor as well. I think my favorite method is using the coords on the ufc. I just bought the f15e and the f16c. I can't really pick a favorite, they're both awesome. I come from using the F18.

[@roydegenstein4293]

Thank you for the wonderful job on getting the information out. I always enjoy watching your videos as I get lot of good information.

[@sookiyoon]

Can you xfer mark points into the jdam?

[@grimreapers]

I will investigate.

[@DaWu]

Thx Sir for another very helpful no bs and straight to the line tutorial

[@kenhelmers2603]

A usable bomb truck! :) Thanks Cap

[@JohnathanMoura]

You're the man Cap!

[@jep1103]

Well that imploded me head

[@ChonaA340]

Wooooooowwwww!!! What an amazing explanation you have done! Too many things to keep in mind, but it’s just, practicing and practicing… Thanks a loot for such a great “resume” of dropping JDAM bombs. Congrats for you excellent tutorial 👍🏼

[@michaelpowell775]

Cap, this is amazingly diligent work! And I am a massive fan of your well organised tutorials. I do have this module but I think the complexity of the switchology of the F-15E has crossed the line for me, I'm going to stick to the relatively simple F/A-18, AV8, and A10. I could learn to do this in the F-15E but as it's harder than my real job as an AI/ML software engineer I think I will need to be paid 🙂!!

[@grimreapers]

Yes it's a real concern for a lot of DCS'ers. Remembering this stuff to make a tutorial is OK. Remembering how to do it under pressure in a big mission is a different matter.

[@michaelpowell775]

@@grimreapers totally agree, and I guess that's why in RL there is a WSO there to help (hope this gets implemented)

[@Rhinozherous]

I like the Strike Eagle more and more. Thank you for the tutorial!

[@spencerwarren9219]

Freaking killer job for jdams cap

[@VimyScout]

Cheers Cap. Im just getting to know the F-15E 👍

[@oojiflip]

Wish you could drop 54s "blind" in CCIP mode and have them acquire the lase, basically turning it into a Paveway

[@EagleFighterJet]

amazing

[@mikmak3mk748]

Hey CAP.... They added a new feature for pulling out coords and displaying them from the map.. Try LALT + Left click. You're welcome.

[@everypitchcounts4875]

When will the GBU-72 be available

[@docvibecheck]

You can use "left Alt+ left mouse click" to pop up a temporary box with all the different types of coordinates in instead of having to write them all down

[@grimreapers]

thx

[@captain_kirkyt2481]

I'm following the tutorial and using the same mission, but when I go through the process of converting the steer point to a target point, the "XFR RDR" dose not change to a sequence point, anyone know why? ( I already undesignated the radar target)

[@DR-jq9bg]

Another great tutorial video, Cap!

[@ralfmo.9]

thanks alot for this video, that helps so much!!!

[@delta9990]

so ufc and nav methods are essantially the same, just with nav you first create a waypoint with coords then turn it into a target and with ufc you directly put the coords in

[@pjhaebe]

Ok cool, now can we do this in game?

[@michagysin3082]

nice video!

[@indianrockstrat]

It appears that you can't use that first method "CC" in the mission editor upon joining a multiplayer server......because there's no access to mission editor in MP.

[@rama7267]

Still dont get AUTO mode purpose

[@Auryx851]

Can the NAV sequence section only be executed using waypoint 1? I can't get it to work with 3 for example.

[@solonemanuelwhitetigernava571]

what mode is more precise to hit the targets...? TGP or RDR ?

[@grimreapers]

RDR I think.

[@Wilko601st]

holy jesus on a bike..........

[@pjhaebe]

In multiplayer on beta, I use TPOD to designate coords as you describe and the weapon disappears from screen and no coords get entered. Nothing populates and it goes blank

[@FlameBot]

23:10 instead of pressing shortcuts just click on the coordinates in the top left corner

[@jamison884]

My weapon is HUNG. Giggity.

[@grimreapers]

oof

[@bobt223]

It is interesting to me that you can switch the Laser code on the GBU-54 in flight, while other Laser guided bombs need to be set on the ground via Ground Crew. Has the GBU-54 got some newfangled software/hardpoint connection that the older Laser Guidance kits lack?

[@cmdrbigity6914]

It is a smart weapon so it talks to the bird yes. Dumb bombs do not, the laser code is set on the ground on each bomb by ground crew.

[@mgplaying8435]

In simple words: Fuck no. Not doing JDAMs in the Eagle... :D

[@francoisleiva7607]

Great tutorial, but do you provide paracetamol with this tutorial, because there is a risk of brain damage.

[@grimreapers]

lol

[@JT-or1on]

Hi cap, can we use the tpod to search certain laser code in this stage? Thanks.

[@jeanyonsei2318]

Strike minds eagle.

[@xtodnfs549]

Lets gooo

[@killraine0712]

Sooo you cant use these in multi player yet?

[@grimreapers]

There is a bodge to get it working.

[@wayne9287]

Hello viewers!👋👀

[@ShqipeInfo-bc3ss]

How razbaam know how the system actualy looks and works? Is this stuff made up? A honest question. And second: is this jet weapon completed, i.e can this jet handle a lot of weapons like A-G?

[@NickKerkwijk]

They work with real pilots and documents so it is real for the timeframe of the jet. Not all weapons are available yet but they are coming

[@ShqipeInfo-bc3ss]

@@NickKerkwijk very interesting, i thought that must be secret and pilots are not allowed to give their knowledge either. For sure i did not except to be 1:1 real, but if its true, then this is something nice to have

[@grimreapers]

It is open info provided by real pilots. Yes all of this is possible in real life.

[@NickKerkwijk]

@@ShqipeInfo-bc3ss iirc is this a 2007 version/suite F15E, so they now probably have different and better avionics in the Strike Eagles so it isnt a secret anymore

[@ShqipeInfo-bc3ss]

@@NickKerkwijk i got you, i understand, so you fly not the actual F-15, its a older system, which is like outdated. But still it is amazing for flight simmers to learn such systems... wow...

[@haytorrock3312]

Explaining the mission - Skip over that lets go to the boom and/or boom. Not really I just popped in to click the like buttoh.

I figured it would help people that want to try this mission for themslves.

Too complicated, wish it was simpler

Yeh it's pretty hardcore.

[@cmdrbigity6914]

That’s why the strike eagle has a wso

[@vedad14]

I’m sorry but you can’t lase a GBU-38. It’s either a 12/10/16/49 or 54

[@simba1113]

its a PACS system thing. it labels 54's as 38's

[@grimreapers]

But you literally saw me lase the bomb onto a moving vehicle?
