STEP Change for JSOW/JDAM
 

Dear all,

The team has adjusted the logic for how and when STEP is available for JSOW and JDAM weapons. You will no longer find it on the Stores page. Instead you must, in the Stores Page:

1) Go to JDAM (or JSOW) DSPLY
2) Select QTY
3) Select 2 or more Stations
4) Hit RTN
5) You will now see STEP for selected weapons

Below is a quick and dirty video showing just that

Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks. That was an annoying change :)

Yeah, we were scratching our heads a little this morning as well. I asked that the team try and remember to convey those changes, but we are operating from different countries and locations, sometimes things slip through.

Appreciate the quick heads up and transparency on this change. Keep up the good work!!

And definitely the right call to release the TPod this week in a good state rather than try to meet an estimate and having something that's half baked.

Thanks for that, it was killing me that it was dropping the two JDAMS off the left wing before the ones on the right ... talk about unbalanced load!

Thanks. Curious question though: what is that heading tape at the top of the screen and the dark yellow waypoint marker (showing a small triangle and distance to it at about the middle of the screen)? Devs' debuging/testing feature?

With this Logic, we are still able to attack multi target like in wags video ?

I tested and can confirm it works just as it used to however ....

Programming coordinates on the ground using ground power is the same. Shut off Groundpower and started the aircraft as per usual start up procedure. Got up in the air, fenced in and went to stores page and step function was no longer visible. Had to go back, deselect each station, then re select each station and step function returned. It didn't carry over from when I was using it to program each bomb I was carrying. Something to look out for and not sure if it's intended or not. Aside from that everything appeared normal to me.

Just a thought, but I would think programming with ground power, then removing power from the aircraft to do an engine start would erase the programmed coordinates. I would tgink this would be an expected result though I’m not sure. If I’m misinterpreting your steps, sorry, that’s just the way I read them in the post.

Or, are you saying the coordinates carried over, the STEP option did not even though the stations stayed selected?
