Always waiting your videos to build up my knowledge about the jf-17 if not the whole game, amazing work, clear and simple and yet so informative. keep up!
Thanks for putting out these tutorials. Just to add, the CM-802AKG missile REQUIRES MITL steering at terminal phase for ALL 3 modes (DIR, COO, MAN) to hit its target. In MAN mode, it's understood MITL steering is required. But in DIR (SPI) and COO (PP) modes, it's not always apparent that MITL steering is ALSO REQUIRED despite having an SPI or PP. If we look at the SLAM-ER or Walleye missiles, they both have the fire-and-forget option of not requiring the use of the datalink pod and MITL steering, and will still hit their targets (PP/TOO for SLAM-ER, locked target for Walleye). So if you fly Western aircraft like the F18/F16, you are used to the idea that the weapon will hit a locked target or target coordinates. But this is not so with the CM-802AKG in DCS. It sees a locked target (DIR) or pre-planned coordinates (COO) as just 'waypoints'. Deka’s present manual (as of 19 Dec 2021) is misleading but Chuck’s guide has been updated to clarify this. It would be unusual if Deka's CM-802AKG in DIR and COO modes are true to real life. That said, the CM-802AKG is more akin to the Israeli Delilah missile which requires MITL steering. One question - Whenever the last RP is reached, the range indicator (top left DLPOD display) next to the RP always reads "5NM". For example, "3/3 2NM" means 2NM remaining to RP3. But once RP3 is reached, it stays fixed at "3/3 5NM". It's always "5NM" regardless of number of RPs or distance from the target to the last RP or to the plane. Why "5NM"?
agree that this part is confusing. We are always presented with video at the terminal phase of trajectory. So really all modes are similar in this regard.
