Mission Editor: Creating & Interacting With An AI AFAC/JTAC Tutorial | DCS WORLD

[@bazsawow]

It is really difficult to find a comprehensive JTAC guide anywhere, it would be amazing if you could make one. Going through all the 9 line details and procedures etc

I know sometimes the mil-sim wannabe's poke fun at you guy's but I personally think you dudes are a godsend. Clearly many other people do to as you have almost a half-million subscribers. Keep up the good work!

[@Gamebreaker08]

I love you, Grim!!!! ❤️

[@shadowfax9861]

Does not work for me. No entry in comms menu.

[@canaletto1]

Still, single-player missions are not bad. Thanks for the video, it was great. Isn't there an option to have the UAV hook into the A-10 C II SADL system and generate SPI on potential targets? Kind of like the way Petrovich assists the Hind?

[@shuntera]

Can you go next level now and show us how to get the drone to lase the targets for us please

[@valentinofogarty9943]

GR did a video ages ago about using lasers. It's in the mission editor playlist. Works a treat.

[@elisayawindrunner393]

Hi Cap can you make a quick video to help us understand what mean all the JTAC Menu, there is a lot in Lazer or WP mark ? Thx for your work

[@schweizerluchs7146]

stuff like that? :kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJaQhIt9ftmhgbs

I will see if I can help him

[@grimreapers]

Sure thing

try to stared up any plane while being upside down if you want to

Its funny how much it grinds my gears when people call it AFAC instead of FAC(A)😆

[@Ironwulf2000]

the AI JTAC can be used in multiplayer as well.

[@Francky963]

yes

[@Ironwulf2000]

@@Francky963 it was a statement not a question.

[@SPFLDAngler]

I didn't realize the F/A-18 had 1,150 rounds for the gun... Geez.. That's like A-10 levels of gunnery

[@PhthaloType]

It has half of that. For JTAC check-in they're reporting the total weaponry available for the flight of two.

[@Mojje42]

is there a max or min altitude for the JTAC? sometimes the JTAC will just keep locking, losing and locking new target....making bombs miss

[@Etyneo1984]

Does the vanilla DCS AFAC/JTAC tasking also lase targets for guided weapons, or do we still need JTAC AutoLase/CTLD? (Note that CTLD has JTAC AutoLase built-in now)

[@KomradeDoge]

I have no mods and there's a mission in Nevada fir the F18 with an AI JTAC. It claims to laze a target for us but I'm fairly new to all this so I can never get it to work.

[@grimreapers]

It didn't used to but maybe they changed it?

[@dancingwilderness]

Always assign Awacs to their own freq. I use 305 for flight, 251 for ai flights, 253 for tanker and 254 for AWACS. Can you cover the Predator setup as well?

[@undertakerlux1]

Hi Cap...first of all...great videos...but i have a question about the JTAG...first attack...everthing is ok...but the second, the JTAG always says :Abort, abort, abort...i am not able to engage. Is there something i have to do? Am i missing a procedure? A certain height, distance? I am trying with Lasermavs..Code 1688 is ok and set. Thanks for the help

[@grimreapers]

Weird, I will look into it.

[@undertakerlux1]

@@grimreapers thanks for the reply, but i think i got the problem...when you put the JTAG in danger with your action, he will reply this message....i have put the reaper in a larger orbit..no more problems...

[@xlow7022]

@@undertakerlux1 hi I'm having the same problem, did you find a solution?

[@vracan]

@@xlow7022 noticed jtac says abort when the target has already been destroyed by another unit

[@TheRealCFF]

Question: How do you translate the JTAC's location code into real world coordinates or 'bullseye' coordinates in order to successfully locate your target or put warheads on foreheads?

[@vracan]

jtac uses mgrs coord. Thare youtube videos on how to translate

[@falanglao01]

Does anyone know if JTACs can lase buildings as well? I can only get it to lase vehicles for me.

[@peanut1120]

I’m confused on what the JTAC in this context can do. I’m trying to a night mission with a jtac and I don’t know how to use the information he gives me to locate the target.

[@orestdrohobycky6241]

Can you do a video on using the JTAC. All videos that I can find are on setting up JTAC. I want to see how to use all the commands for JTAC especially with multiple targets.. After I release missile I keep getting the message from JTAC "Abort abort abort you have no permission." and my missile misses it's target.

[@grimreapers]

Will look into it.

[@danwebcralwer8671]

To talk to JTAC you need combined arms? Because i can't see the JTAC in the easy communications menu

[@grimreapers]

neg

[@SPFLDAngler]

“Don’t know how you guys can do single player” Because public servers suck. There are either too many players and half of them are literally playing for the first time. Or there are no players at all, and you can’t do anything because they’re made for like 10 players minimum.

[@pancakeoperator]

@cap, hey bro idk if its been asked before but since ive recently been watching your videos I noticed you are keen to take your valued viewers thoughts into account. just today I managed to lock on a SA-6 missile with my FA-18 radar, do you happen to have a video demonstrating the capabilities of the hornets radar in a fictional anti missile scenario

[@TURVY27]

Cap, in il2, the tbd should be in the original game, if you found it, could you do a video on it? Thanks

[@grimreapers]

Anything particular to cover in the vid?

[@TURVY27]

@@grimreapers Cover midway, the way it performed, and maybe do a versus with other aircraft of the time, call it: TBD 1 Devastator history and comparison. Thanks man!

[@zapp3r504]

How long does it normaly take to get decent at DCS?

[@elisayawindrunner393]

Depends on how many time you dedicated to it and if you have some notion on how to fly, Usualy T/O and Usual Fly only few Minutes, Landing maybe an Hour, A/A 1-2 Hours after practicing and watch some Cap Tutorial for exemple, A/G can vary from 3-10 Hours to see everything of it, Master your aircraft few week/month (Speaking about FC3 aircraft that are the most easy to learn)

[@-EPSILON-]

Depends on what you fly and previous experience. For me in the hornet it probably took about 50-80 hours. Also depends on the way you learn. you will never really get good if you try to figure everything out yourself, you need to read guides, watch tutorials and all that stuff so you learn the module the right way.

[@four-dimensionalperson]

Can JTAK lasing for russian laser guidet bombs like kab-500/1500 , or missiles licke ch-25ml , And posibile to lasing for a Ka-50 ?

[@grimreapers]

99% sure NO but will investigate.

[@mstram]

Do you know if the f15-c will work in an afac mission ? At the moment I only have the base install / caucasus / dcs world ver 2.7.2.8165.2 When I create your mission, I am not getting an 'AFAC' option in the radio menu (just F5. ATC) Mike

[@grimreapers]

Hi mike never tried but unliekly, not a CAS plane.

[@mstram]

@@grimreapers I just tried the A10C, that plane is not getting the AFAC menu either

[@waqarkhan-mz5ob]

How do i get auto tasking via TAD without putting UTM coordinates as i see a lot of people doing. Anyone?

[@TheTrooperG]

I can't get them to tell me to use my GBU bombs instead of guns.

[@grimreapers]

Is there not an option to choose weapon? I thought there was?

[@TheTrooperG]

@@grimreapers Yeah it's got lots of options, but always wants to choose guns and mark with WP for some reason. Edit: depending on the target they will override with guns. I guess bombs can be far too expensive lol. Or there's something wrong with Laser bombs. I'll have to work it out.

[@mstram]

What version of dcs world are you running ? And what are your pc/system specs ? What fps are you getting ?

Can we use a Navy Seal to laze a baddie?
