VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I am happily dogfighting in the Turkey and I am happy. But I cannot help but wonder how this plane does the other things, naming moving mud. So how does it do, as a person who flies entirely solo, in the ground attack department? I don’t want to stir things up, so please be polite. Thank you in advanced. VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants -- this is how I fly.

Jayhawk1971 Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 (edited) Also, both air-to-ground stock training missions would be a good start. After that, there certainly are a ton of YouTube videos showing/ explaining this. Edited October 11, 2021 by Jayhawk1971 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I used the F14 mostly in the Air to Air department. But the few times I've tried it it is surprisingly accurate and easy to use with "dumb" bombing.

Speaking of the impending Jester upgrade... Can anyone clue us in on how this is going to work? I'm really curious to know how ground target acquisition is implemented with Jester.

Super Grover Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 The shortest description would be: You tell Jester to move the sensor to an approximate location of the targets using existing waypoints, map markers or your head/view, and then you ask him to search for targets of a given type. You can also switch between different targets he finds with the pod. The rest is more or less automatic. 6 3 Krzysztof Sobczak Heatblur Simulations https://www.facebook.com/heatblur/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants Posted October 11, 2021 Author Share Posted October 11, 2021 Thanks for everyone contributing the answers. I wish to try A2G and I heard something not-so-good about it.

Knock-Knock Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Its my F-111. I throw more free-fall bombs around than I do missiles, and I hit what I aim at with Mk-82, 83, 84 and 20's (wish it could fit more Rockeyes though). Plus, 14x Mk-82's under the belly, whats not to like. 4 - Jack of many DCS modules, master of none. - Personal wishlist: F-15A, F-4S Phantom II, JAS 39A Gripen, SAAB 35 Draken, F-104 Starfighter, Panavia Tornado IDS. | Windows 11 | i5-12400 | 64Gb DDR4 | RTX 3080 | 2x M.2 | 27" 1440p | Rift CV1 | Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS | MFG Crosswind pedals | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VR Flight Guy in PJ Pants Posted October 11, 2021 Author Share Posted October 11, 2021 Update: I bring out my XBox controller as the controller for LANTIRN, I cannot afford another stick and the regular mapping almost uses up my T16K...

Caldero Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Hi If you don't go AG from time to time you miss much of the fun You can even use lantirn in SP, no need any mod, just set Jester inactive, I usually do it without any issue but you have to be super fast switching between RIO and pilot and you need a good hotas setup Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't had a problem that way but maybe I should set him inactive. Anyway, it's a dance switching from fron to back seat back and forth but fun. I just wish LANTIRN could search a buddy lase. Iron dumb is, I agree, more accurate than I thought. I'm not a fan however with the CCIP pipper being on the BFL like it is because when it gets on target, it seems to always be right where it says "ORD" and I can't see it as well. CCRP--I haven't had good results for accuracy, at least not as much as CCIP (Really I should be saying computerr pilot, computer target). It's hard to see the upper and lower bomb cues. BUT...I still have fun with it! v6, boNes 1 "Also, I would prefer a back seater over the extra gas any day.

It was fun before they broke Iceman with the autopilot changes. I really hope Iceman fixes are coming soon. It's very difficult to practice backseat stuff currently. Have you tried HUD declutter? I can't remember if it hides "ORD" but I recently started using it to get rid of some of the clutter of symbology at the top of the HUD when strafing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
