BarTzi Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I dropped 100 gbu-38 bombs at a tank, one by one (took coordinates from F10 map DDMM.MM and converted to DDMMSS.SS). Not a single hit. I used terminal guidance parameters from Matt's video. F10 map coordinates do not update frequently enough for an accurate hit - try the mission editor instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gekoiq Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Better yet, just use MGRS from the ME or F10 map, its more accurate than DDMM.mmm and works better in the F10 map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gierasimov Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Concur! Real simple. Just use MGRS and then type that MGRS into here http://www.legallandconverter.com/p50.html Use the lat/lon at the bottom of the conversion. I.E. 50° 00' 29.52" N 112° 36' 51.84" W On the UFC.

IceFire Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 The In-Range cue doesn't seem to be working right currently. What I do is look at the outer/inner circle in the HSI and drop the JDAM about 3/4ths of the way from the outer to the inner and it works.

[SFS]JDAM Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 hello, could you tell me where we can find a procedure for getting started JDAM? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrEaSeLiTeNiN Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 You cannot convert that coordinates to anything more precise, similar how you cannot upsample an image. You can do two things: 1. In ME, change to MGRS (press LALT + Y until you reach that format) and then use coordinates conversion website: http://www.earthpoint.us/Convert.aspx or 2. In ME, change to DDMM.MMM (press LALT + Y until you reach that format) and then use coordinates conversion website: http://www.earthpoint.us/Convert.aspx , or just take 0.MMM x 60 = SS.SS you need in F18 Additionally, you need to convert altitudes from feet to meters, due bug in F-18. Thanks, I used the 2nd method and managed to hit both my targets!

flying-coyotus Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 (edited) Watch Matt Wagner's video. The problem with this kind of video, it is just on how to, it doesn't explain why and what, it is a patch to fill the absence of manual. Like the terminal guidance, what the f*** is that, why and how does it work ? It's just one of many examples of the lack of accurate information. I tried to find information about JDAM in A-10C manual > nothing... Edited April 12, 2019 by flying-coyotus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caponi Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 what did the JDAM elevation ? i took an ammo depot to Groom Lake ... Ele:4494 ft Cold start at Nellis QFE set to baro height 40ft For JDAM (GBU-31) i set Log../Lat.. and Ele:4494 ... JDAM was too short i set another JDAM same L/L and Ele: 1ft .. target hit !! it confusing for me :( too much ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team Wags Posted April 12, 2019 ED Team Share Posted April 12, 2019 (edited) JDAM crash, accuracy, and the ability to view DD/MM/SS.SS on the ME and F10 maps is all addressed internally, We hope to have an update after we un-bork the HARM.

flying-coyotus Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 (edited) I notice too that north groom lake (for what i tested) is unaccurate while caucasus it's accurate. (nothing to see with elev, it is just the position that is not correct > green square in hud is not where it is supposed to be, caucasus it is ok) Edited April 12, 2019 by flying-coyotus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkie Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 So it's possible that it's a map issue because I haven't had any luck using the JDAM's on NTTR? Sager Laptop, i7-6700k 4.00GHz, 16GB RAM, GTX 980M, 1920x1080, TIR 5, Windows 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caponi Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 meter instead of feet elevation works fine in NTTR (sometimes a bomb missed totally) and even if you select a JDAM in stores page the timer countdown starts from 9:59 :music_whistling: too much ...

Majinbot Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 I always failed to launch the jdam due to the crashes, but the agm-154a/c can be launched even if they narrowly miss the target.

_mu110_ Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 So the best we can do (in a realistic mission) is ask an a10 or harrier to provide MGRS 10 digit format for 1 meter precision and convert it (with the website share here, which is great!) into hudredths of seconds for input into the JDAM menu. JTAC can help you out in that regard, and once we get the TPOD that will make things a lot easier too. Check out my skins and mods on the User Files.
