Martin2487 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 PP mode in JDAM cancel the TGP waypoint slave. If the TGP is a slave on waypoint and JDAM is selected, it will cancel the TGP slave because the default mode JDAM is PP. When switched to TOO mode, the TGP is slave again. I think it's a bug. Doesn't make sense to me that the pilot then selects JDAM to lose the lock targets and situation awareness. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Y8fVHZPgXBeXPvjbuMtWQzxxupYdsZhg/view?usp=sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvroLanc Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 This strikes me as unusual as well. I can confirm same behaviour here. Using the FLIR for JDAM bomb damage assessment was going to be useful. I can imagine having 2 'TGT' points is causing confusion in the system. The PP TGT and the WP DESG TGT conflict with each other. Maybe it's not possible IRL, not sure yet, need to dig more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcrusty Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Make sure your JDAMs are all set to TOO before designating any targets/waypoints. Step through each bomb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvroLanc Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Make sure your JDAMs are all set to TOO before designating any targets/waypoints. Step through each bomb. That kinda defeats the purpose of what we’re trying to do. The scenario is that you got a group of PP targets from mission planning. You want to use the TGP to view impacts, so you create a waypoint in the same target locality. Pressing WPDSG should slave the TGP to the waypoint.... except it doesn’t because there’s a conflict with the TGT crated in the PP Mission. This maybe by design, but it does create difficulties for what should be a common and useful task for TGP/JDAM combo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swift. Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 I haven't tried it yet, but can you slave the FLIR to a jdam PP? If so then there is no need to have a WP to slave it to. 476th Discord | 476th Website | Swift Youtube Ryzen 5800x, RTX 4070ti, 64GB, Quest 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you can't I'm afraid, that's the issue. The FLIR just boresights with a PP selected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quax456 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Yep...can confirm this beahvior....at first I thought "damn what am I donig wrong now...." But after several tries with restarting....occuping a new slot....if you dont put your JDAMS to TOO Mode before using the TGP your Slave function is vanished!

Theranthil Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 It does come back as soon as you select TOO. Example, you have 2 JDAM on 2 pylons. You select TOO on the first one, turn on the POD, press waypoint designate. Your pod is slaved to the TGT. As soon as you drop the bomb, the pod goes rogue but if you select store/JDAM/TOO again, it comes back directly to your previous target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hein22 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I found out that this applies only for JDAM but not for JSOW and reported it here https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=267709 Stay safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AstonMartinDBS Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Make sure your JDAMs are all set to TOO before designating any targets/waypoints. Step through each bomb. That workaround helps indeed. But I guess this is an incorrect behaviour.
