Cap's generosity is legendary; throws in 100% more LGB without a second thought. What a guy.

The F15 is my first ever module... Your tutorials help alot! Thanks for that! Greetings from Germany!

Cap, in order to actually release only one bomb at each Pickle press, you must select the STEP instead of the 1/STA option when configuring your bomb drop Program. The "1/STA" means it will drop 1 munition per station selected, so if you have multiple stations selected, it will drop one bomb from each station all at once. The STEP however, will only drop a single bomb, regardless of how many stations you have selected.

So, rule of thumb for Laser-Guided Bombs: ALWAYS setup your programs to be AUTO > STEP > N/T.

Not to be picky, it did work after all, but with reference to Starbaby (WSO from 10% true) you shouldn’t lase these to early as the laser would drag them towards the target. They could easily loose their energy and fall short. He also stated that for the big 2000lbs bombs they usually did a dive drop to get speed and energy to the bombs to avoid the falling short.

Hey cap, at 13:00 in the section for moving target bombing with lasing, when trying to lock on the tank but snap onto the runway, i believe its not because of a lack of contrast but more the fact your telling the pod to look for a white polarity in the raster (hence it says WPT on middle bottom osb button on TPOD mfd, while you polarized heat as black? The runway glows white and as of such the TGP snaps to the white you told it to look for. This may have been told to you already but i thought i'd point it out, correct me if i'm wrong so we learn together. Regards! o7

Awesome as usual!
One request...if not already done, can we get a dedicated WSO tutorial for this exact purpose? I have some people that don't fly, but exclusively sit in the WSO / RIO seats. Would be great to have something like that! Thanks!

I have had the f15e for about 2 days now looking forward to learning all of this stuff. So far am loving the f14, 16, 15c and a10a. I got the a10cII when I got the 15e got alot of learning to do but it's a blast

[stevesteven-gwzy]

So much fun to watch, in this vedio all the the suff we learn come thogther . Love it ❤ keep making f15e tutorials

[massimilianofontana]

what bout lasing from a JTAC? it looks like I cannot find a way for inputing the mgrs coordinates too :/

[paulbrooks]

Exactly what I needed to learn and how to do it. Thanks

[Pickles]

im so glad they decided to give yall a copy of the module so we can all watch yall get to play with it.

[leftyth]

Very educational, and precise!
11:38 "automatically lase 15 seconds before bomb drop" - Incorrect, should be before IMPACT.

Ok this is making me nuts, i threw a quick simple simple bombing mission together, designated the targets with #T in mission editor, shows up as triangle on map screen in jet. GBU12 500's designated with t-pod, lazing happens on auto mode, release time counts down, bombs release as i hold pickle....and they are always lofting past the target missing. what could i be doing wrong to cause this? i leave the laser code as default 1688, now in mission editor when you set laser codes, they jump to 888 so i dont know what thats about.

[mikewazowski]

Tpot did not track the moving target in BHT because the PTRK was still in WPT instead of BPT so it tracked the white pixels of the runway.

[orestdrohobycky]

Hi. I seem to have a problem. In the arms page for some reason I cannot box the bomb to set it up. No matter how many times I click the button above the bomb it will not box. And today the bomb names did not even appear on the page just the numbers below the name but the names of the bomb was blank and again I could not box them to set them up. What am I missing"

12:35 When you designated the target your TPOD crosshair was not on the target. Does it not matter where the TPOD crosshair is when designating, you just have to press designate somewhere and then auto acquisition actually designates the target?

Best tutorial series on the tube = like

[dmax]

2:17 this is coolie swich not castel swich which is the wright swich (castel swich)
and a lot of thanks for your grat tutorails as usal

[IzmirAviator]

for some reason i cant see my stations in the ermt page?
