DCS World - F-14 - Back Seat - NAVGRID Tutorial 

The Jabbers knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't, by subtracting where it is, from where it isn't, or where it isn't, from where it is, whichever is greater, it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance sub-system uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the Jabbers from a position where it is, to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn't, and it follows that the position where it was, is now the position that it isn't. In the event of the position that it is in is not the position that it wasn't, the system has required a variation. The variation being the difference between where the Jabbers is, and where it wasn't. If variation is considered to be a significant factor, it too, may be corrected by the GEA. However, the Jabbers must also know where it was. The Jabbers guidance computance scenario works as follows: Because a variation has modified some of the information the Jabbers has obtained, it is not sure just where it is, however it is sure where it isn't, within reason, and it knows where it was. It now subracts where it should be, from where it wasn't, or vice versa. By differentiating this from the algebraic sum og where it shouldn't be, and where it was. It is able to obtain a deviation, and a variation, which is called "air"

That's not as confusing as i feared it might be, just like everything else in the tomcat it's just slightly harder to work with initially. I guess they've gotta make the RIO earn their pay somehow!

Now we're getting nice and deep into this module! Good to see you back on the tutorials Jabbers.

Great guide! a week ago, we started flying together with a friend. I sat down at the RIO and couldn't figure out what the A/G mode was for. Now everything is clear! Very convenient mode. Thank you so much for the simple explanation of how it works. I didn't find this information anywhere else.

So good to see you back!

y'all don't realize it but this system was for something called vector logics back in the evil empire days of the cold war when the carrier battle groups were defending against bear bombers this was a very efficient system the tomcats used to defend the carrier (good luck finding someone who will explain it to you though)

I'm more confused after I watched the video than before I started watching the video.

Hey, can you set coordinates with the navgrid?

Hi @Jabbers, what do you use to be able to draw on your screen like that? That's very cool!

Very good video. The radial nature of the grid caught me completely by surprise, i was expecting a more traditional square one. This is supposed to be available from the next OB, but if memory serves, ED decided to postpone it for one week, so it's not yet available, right? P.S. i've been itching for a bullseye indicator quite a while now. I used all kind of improvisational techniques to simulate one. Good to see we finally have one. When you go to ground stab (Jester or RIO), is the reference point always centered on the TID by default? Or is the TID plane centered?

So, with NAVGRID, every Tomcat is it's own cute little Darkstar? Neat, but seems unnecessary with good BRA calls. How do the NAVGRID lines themselves help with communication, I suspect the main feature is the ability to coordinate targets with the talk codes? With the grid as reference for the "receiving" aircraft?

Awesome vid as always Jabbers! Now, wheres the navgrid for the pilot's seat?! :D I need to get the BULLS call capabilities!

Looking at the Maykop chart I have no idea where you are getting the coordinates of the airfield. They don't seem to match what's on the chart.

cant wait FOR UR JF 17 VIDEO

why the navgrid only show at its maximum 180 degree instead of 360 degree?

So is the nav grid unique to the aircraft? Because doesn't that mean you'd have to sync up the grids with your flight to make sure the callouts are accurate?

How do you use the HCU to move around in the TID?

There is a difference between a heading and a bearing.

what is your video editor?

can that nav grid be centered on the carrier? does anybody know??

My head just exploded :/

what about a new video about the mirage 2000 and the new cockpit .. please ..

Im still very confused, it was very detailed but maybe too detailed to understand. Pilots are like 5 year olds and rios are 10 yearolds. Treat us as such haha

I am watching the video tutorials to learn a module I have stupidly purchased for 55 US dollars only to realise that I dont even understand the language being spoken! I am fucked and I will never ever in this life learn anything about this. I am screwed 😢

Gods yet another reason im glad i never bought the tomcat. i wonder if they decided to scrap it because you needed to become an elder god to understand it

You don't need to show how to enter the coordinates key by key every time you make a video involving CAP, it's distracting and wasting time, you stop the explanation and play with the keyboard for 2 minutes. Other than that, great video.
