DCS F14 | How to use Laser Guided Bombs

[@TrickerDCS]

Make sure you check out Reflected Simulations and give him some love. Great channel and he has a fantastic F14 Tomcat Startup Tutorial. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mH7Gd52tapmZl8k Paint Skins: www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/filter/type-is-skin/unit-is-f-14/user-is-reflected/apply/

11:30 this is the reason why Tomcat is the greatest "module" in DCS. I have friends that feels less human than Jester

[@kilianortmann9979]

The Tomcat is just such an amazingly capable bomber, with LANTIRN, Jester and GBU, and also just with dumb bombs and there so little impact on speed and range. It is probably one of the fastest ways to get 2x2000lbs and 2x1000lbs GBUs over a long distance.

[@SuperCheater7]

You do the best tutorials by far because you include all the things you need in order to actually drop bombs.

[@SPFLDAngler]

When I finally found out about Jester being able to use map markers it was both a huge relief and slap in the face. I had been using QHUD for so damn long...

[@Rhinozherous]

Jester AI is such an awesome piece of software! Happy times for flightsimmers.

[@Paloch1708]

Wow, just as I'm looking for a nice tutorial for bombing in the Tomcat. Just picked her up during Christmas and she's awesome, thanks for the guide.

[@banyanyas839]

Ok tricker you've convinced me, I'll buy the f14 now

[@Hollandicus_bird]

NOOOOOO, that's the worst part of the f14 (unless you have someone to replace jester)

[@michaeldenney2444]

I have not flown the Tomcat in ages, Jester has come a long way!

[@PluckyUnderdog]

Reflected is great. His Tomcat campaigns in particular are brilliant, and required purchases even for multiplayers. Your videos are good, dude. Concise and informative. And you have a calming, reassuring voice. Anyone ever told you that? Haha 😂

[@TrickerDCS]

Haha don't think anyone has told me that; but yes Reflected is the man!

[@PluckyUnderdog]

@Tricker you know your stuff mate, another plus. It's a telling indicator when you understand something where you can relay it in plain English to someone who doesn't. Always the mark of a man who knows his onions.

[@TrickerDCS]

@Plucky Underdog Well I appreciate it, I try my best to give out the most accurate information while trying to explain it as well. 💪💪

[@hanswolfgangmercer]

Keep up the awesome work! I'd be glad to see some more stuff for the Tomcat in particular.

[@TrickerDCS]

You got it!

[@Megotonna]

Your voice like a music for me. Good video. Thank you!

[@SpitfireA2]

Could you do a BVR tutorial with just Jester AI?

[@TrickerDCS]

I'll put it on the list!

[@ernestwinslow7316]

I did not know all these modes of dropping gpu with Jester are implemented. Waoh! that is good revelation. Thanks for the video.

[@0Ignition0]

I don't know how jester knows what type of vehicle is targeting, you can't see any details with the lantirn.

[@TrickerDCS]

Jester knows all!

[@sax003]

Outstanding military intel...

[@reillybrangan2182]

The LANTIRN is actually a bit borked in the current update. Totally overexposed/washed out to the point that it can't be compensated for with VDI brightness/contrast controls. Not very usable without jester.

[@Daniel-jq4qk]

I somewhat agree but with a 1440p monitor and adjusting the gamma a bit or playing with the settings a little you can get a pretty decent picture out of it. Believe they are trying to recreate the green glow a little too much from.the type of TV set it uses.

[@trident4553]

@@Daniel-jq4qk wich one is helpful decreasing or increasing the gamma ?

[@pyroscot]

Excellent dude didnt even know about the eyeball mode, loving these short/to the point vids great refreshers.

[@Y_Chothia]

Ya know, I don't play DCS, and I don't understand about 80% of what u saying, but I still really enjoy ur videos. There's just something about them that I find entertaining. Oh, and is this the A or B variant? I can't really tell the visual difference between the two.

[@TrickerDCS]

Well thanks for hanging out!

[@Monarch683]

Judging from the skins, it's most likely the A variant. One way to tell between the F-14A and B from outside is the engines. F-14Bs and Ds have silver engine nozzles/petals while F-14As have black ones.

[@TrickerDCS]

@@Monarch683 sorry this is the A variant, you can tell by the engines

[@Monarch683]

@@TrickerDCS Yep, I was correct then

[@oneworld9071]

Something that, for me anyway, enhances the experience of learning this beast is watching "Speed and Angels", the fantastic documentary about the last 2 USN pilots trained for the F-14. Oh..... I got "fired" as grip on video crew at a Navy vs Virginia football game in Annapolis....... the camera op had me watch for the pair of F-14's single-pass flyover while he was setting up. I asked, "Want me to get tripod and cables and monitor ready???" He barked, "NO, just watch for those planes!!!!!!!". Ohhhh-kay... they'll fly over that tree line to the east. From where I am, that's about 15 degrees elevation before even visible, then visible for about 3-4 seconds and GONE..... woops well, NOW they're gone til NEXT year!!!!!!!! :) :) That quick :) The camera wasn't even out of the case yet.

[@6r0v3r3]

Whoa, this is a hell good video tutorial! Thank you for publishing it.

[@jasons9564]

I have never done any air to ground in the tomcat with the LGBs. I might have to check this out. Thanks for the video

[@risingsun9595]

How did you stop following that GBU-24 at the end of its fall?

[@angelivanov5368]

Bro i actually love you i got the tomcat but i was so confused about everything

[@Sneak693]

man i missed your voice. Getting back into dcs after a few year break there. Thanks for the work you do man.

[@TrickerDCS]

What it do sneak

[@VonHoffnung]

Kaboom! I'm finally getting into bombcattery, so thank you for this!

[@shinysdcs1212]

No need to put the wings in bomb mode when dropping LGBs with the pod. Putting the wings in bomb mode is a good idea when dropping dumb bombs in a dive with CCIP. When you are dropping in a dive with ccip it is helpful to have the wings not moving in order to be more stable. When dropping LGBs from altitude you just need to be lined up on the lantirn's steering cue, you can leave the wings in auto.

[@TrickerDCS]

I identify as a transforming tomcat But thank you for the tip

[@Hustler9g]

Great video. I cant lie i kinda miss when it was a special thing to be a rio who could use the lantern pod because there was no other way without mods 😂

[@mactgnr]

Great vid as always and im going to get back in the cat and have a go at this. I've not done any A2G at all in it so this is going to be fun, cheers again buddy

[@AK-pr6bq]

Great video. No need to sweep wing to bomb mode for laser guided bomb drops. It's only necessary for unguided ordinance.

[@19Mikey74]

Thx for this Trick, one of the last steps for me to master that Beauty.

[@AR_Parker]

thanks for video man. im starting to slowly figure out jester

[@xXE4GLEyEXx]

Two SAM sites down :3 thank you for the guide! :D

This is for the future time, when I lease F-14! Until then, it's Tricker ASMR. 😉😎👍🏻👏🏻💪🏻

Thanks for the video. It answered a lot of questions I had.

[@Seventeeenth]

Damn was looking for a video explaining how to do this. Nice video bro very easy to follow

This is so sick, I’m still getting my feet wet with vtol vr. Love these kinda vids

[@dons3006]

Excellent video

[@craig8724]

This was a very helpful and easy to follow video epically for newbies. I love the F-14 and now I can drop LG Bombs. When I get the jester command to drop, I drop. The target pods stays lined up and Jester Say "Good Hit" but here is the problem I'm having. The bomb always misses by exactly the same margin every time. Any others have this problem? Thanks. The instruction in this video are spot on. Great examples to learn here. But Jester saying "Good Hit" and the bomb missing by the same margin every time has to some sort of glitch.

[@fluxahelmi]

great,helps a lot, thanks👍

[@thunderace4588]

Thank you Tricker.

[@vovochen]

Very good, nice vids.

[@Razgriz0111]

how did you turn off the pilot model? I've flown on a server that has the pilot in constant view and I could never seen the panels.

[@donk5058]

Wait so did the WSO need to manually track a target as the aircraft maneuvered or did they lock it like more modern jets

[@vanrypel6737]

I'm having an issue where even though I follow the steps as outlined in the video, Jester tells me "valid laser ranging" but then I never get steering cues (e.g. turn left/right x degrees) or time to release info, which means I'm not able to release my ordnance. I've checked master arm on. He works fine when I have him look for targets but it never works when I try to have him designate a static object. Any help would be appreciated!

Im just having a lot of trouble with the Paveways, maybe it has been altered in a new update, but my bombs seem to go completely off target, even with my plane leveled and my bomb on-target, i still miss and it goes AWOL (which also happens to me with the phoenix but anyway) maybe you can tell me whats wrong, i really dont want to be a burden on your time though.
