Hey Wags, thanks for replying to most questions in the comments! To that, I myself have something I was wondering about (although I don’t know if you are the one I should ask): is there any plans regarding a newer and updated engine for DCS? One which uses more than a single core of one’s CPU?

[@LtFalcon]

Do we have any news on the common mission planner/DTC functionality? I've kind of done enough UFC-mashing at this point and it's becoming increasingly frustrating to have to go into the game files to configure something as basic as countermeasures to how you like it.

[@kellymcguire1385]

I wonder if they add a different ground explosion effect in the future where pieces of the ground fly up since this penetrates the ground. Maybe the terrain will have deformation effects someday from explosions.

[@Nirvi_gspb]

How many of these are needed to destroy the secret underground factory on the caucasus map?

[@johnchristian664]

How well modeled is the damage profile for hard bunkers? It seems you can sneeze at them and they blow up. for example.. I shoot a Light MAV at a small bunker without fuzing it for penetration, the bunker explodes.. rather than the warhead exploding outside the target.

[@CameTo]

Unless they changed something, it makes no difference at all. There's blast strength + radius, but it makes no difference if you instant or delay fuse. The bunker variants (like on A10 loads) is just cosmetics. Be nice if they changed this so the weapons are actually worth carrying on limited rack space.

[@johnchristian664]

@@CameTo Agreed

[@henryofskalitz2228]

So this is why the gb24 got suddenly fixed on the f14 so It actually tracks the laser now.

[@dietcoke759]

Does a penetrator warhead mean it deals less splash damage to adjacent targets?

[@sofam84]

When would you use the pre-planned mode vs the straight lines mode?

[@jh28wd40]

Straight line would be a Target of Opportunity I would take. Pre planned would be the side of a mountain where you need to get that bomb to drop coming in at a certain angle.

Which these weapons had slightly more destruction properties just wide of it objects should also take damage as well as the visual explosion effect

[@lukem.34]

I've noticed a lot of the TTIs are inaccurate to when the bombs actually impact. For example, in the video, it seems to impact when TTI still has 4 seconds left. Is this planned to be corrected?

[@mihkeltoomet213]

I was wondering the same. Is this correct?

[@Grosco92]

yes it happens even in real life ! Bombs can have a different flight path than expected, which can cause a delay or, in this case, a hit 4 seconds "too early"

[@MattWagner]

TTIs are estimates from the MC, not exact. Thanks

[@mihkeltoomet213]

Thanks for clarification! 👍

[@Motorman2112]

@@CakePrincessCelestia The plane knows that it's a LGB though... I suppose the question would be when to transition the TTI from ballistic to guided, but that could be tied to laser activation. How the actual plane works is how it works though.

[@swiftplus175]

Does "adding auto lase a bit later" means for the GBU-24 specifically? Just because I guess we already have auto lase for the other LGBs now. Thanks for feedback.

[@MattWagner]

Yes, auto-lase for Paveway III is quite different than Paveway II. Thanks

[@Brian-rp5cv]

So what has happened to all the other attack profile modes and different autopilot modes the bomb has? Can we expect those soon? right now it's just a glorified GBU-10

[@mscir]

Great video, thank you. Can you tell us anything about the laser used to illuminate the target, like the type and power? That's some amazing tech, the stationary display of the target is really impressive.

Thanks to team for all the effort on the hornet this yr, been a wealth of new toys & systems to play with.

Hey Waggs. How to you setup buildings that you can blow up? Is this something you do in the mission editor. I can get the paveways to hit targets, but no boom!

[@mrpawno4955]

Hmm, i followed the procedure but i get no "TTI" Timer on my screen and i cant manually laser, the system lasers automatically after dropping the bomb while showing a Timer with "LASER" and TOT Time , is that intended?

[@dmitriy9203]

They're still working on it. The TTI timer is there (albeit inaccurate), but "overlapped" by the broken LASER timer. Timers and lasing logic aside, the bomb itself works okay.

[@grantybert]

thank you Matt

[@Scorpac]

Yesterday i found out you can also enter the code for the first bomb/missile and then click "STEP" and "ENTER" until all bombs/missiles have the same code. I didn't need to re-enter the same code for each ordnance.

[@Kraken9911]

Deadzone filtering

[@kyledean4512]

Wags do you know if the guidance/flight profile has been changed for the GBU-24 in preparation for releasing it for the F-18? I know that when dropping it with the F-14 it seems to behave a little weird and sometimes might not hit the target. It also might hit early, it looks like it does that same thing in this video to. I would think this is not how they would work in real life but seeing as I’m not a fighter pilot I guess I could be wrong.

[@MattWagner]

As mentioned in the video, we are developing a new autopilot system for this bomb that will come a bit later. Thanks.

I know you’d need a whole new team, but might be of use for helping train, or keep existing pilots in the wild land fire fighter field, sharp. Just an idea. 👍 your fully operable aircraft are the best thing out there as far as simulation. Thanks for good work, I’m too old to fly the real thing, but at least I can fly the sim 😎
