Melomar Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Height above target is an important parameter for the aircraft to accurately compute the impact or release point when conducting unguided bomb releases. Would like to know how the FA18 in DCS is getting these inputs so that I can improve the effectiveness of my CCIP / CCRP bomb releases. Thanks!

Harlikwin Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Radar. New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog. TrackIR, HP Reverb (formermly CV1) Old-N-busted: i7 4720HQ ~3.5GHZ, +32GB DDR3 + Nvidia GTX980m (4GB VRAM) :joystick: TM Warthog. TrackIR, Rift CV1 (yes really).

AvroLanc Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) Radar. Not at the moment. It’s either BARO or RADAR altitude, determined by the position of your HUD altitude switch. Note the B or R under the HUD alt box when in AG mode. BARO uses the current waypoint elevation as the target elevation. The TGP laser should also provide the most accurate slant range/HAT, but this isn’t modelled I’m sure. The Air to ground ranging radar mode (AGR) should use radar slant range for HAT when it’s gets implemented. Likewise the Fixed Target Track mode FTT. Although a standard MAP radar NAV desg. will just uses BARO alt. This is all in theory, I’m not sure DCS actually simulates a proper HAT calculation.

Frederf Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 POS/ADC and POS/TCN is distinct from POS/INS and POS/GPS but within each of those two camps baro/rad, altimeter setting, waypoint elevation or anything else to affect CCIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
