Harlikwin Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 (edited) Redkite! Reapers! Jabbers! Chuck! Sweet Jeebus! I can't do anything in this thing! Well, I can kinda shoot stuff down in A/A :thumbup:, But A/G seems to be beyond my limited capacities... HALP! :) I figured out how to use the TPOD thanks to redkite, but for the life of me I can't hit a damn thing with weapons. I can fire the rockets, but I think they are "safed", I can drop the GPS guided bombs but they land at the WP I have and not the target nearby, GBU12's drop but don't guide, even though I have "man" mode selected on the TGP, Master arm is on etc... I'm not stupid or proud enough to ask for HALP! Halp ol Harli! Edited December 5, 2019 by Harlikwin New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog.

razorseal Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 ok, so far I have this figured out. on the SMS page, make sure you change the FUZE type from SAFE to NOSE for LGBs and EFUZE for the rockets. You have to do this for each Pylon. also, unlike in the F16 and F18, for CCRP drop (AUTO here) it's not press and hold and it'll drop at 0... just press and let go. I can't figure out the cue for dropping it at the right time, so I've been winging it. the BRM is easy. find a target with TGP, press lock target, and fire away when HUD says IN RANGE. make sure fuse is set to EFUZE. Hopefully that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not stupid or proud enough to ask for HALP! Halp ol Harli! this is what ive been able to figure out after fiddling yesterday. STEP 0: After rearm/arm, ask ground crew to update cartridge. Load cartridge and install. (make sure you have 200MB space in your C drive XD) step 1: Press 7 on number row on keyboard to AG mode step 2: turn on master arm step 3: cycle to weapon you want using weapon cycle key step 4: set fuze, mode type step 5: make sure hud cues are good for drop otherwise it won't drop. step 6: drop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shimmergloom667 Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 What is even the problem?

All that stuff is pretty self-explanatory, the UI of the avionics is so modern that there's practically nothing you can do wrong IMHO Lol. There is a saying, if you have nothing better to say... I found the bombing functionality quite close to the A10c. You can try the tutorials there if you have that module. Seems like you do need to set up the weapons on the ground as the fuses default to safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
