If Top Gun 2 sucks, I'm holding you responsible, Jabbers. 😂😂😂

that's unreal. the detail of DCS and now the TCAT is mindblowing.

Thanks a lot Jabbers! I was waiting for this video for quite some time as IP-Bombing really gave me some headaches (I didn't even know what format the range has to be entered in...)! It's all clear now!

Thanks for showcasing the mode Jabbers, that's what i was talking about in my comment on the other bombing video; seeing that it works, i will give it another try ;) Have a good day!

I'm so glad you saved Mav and Charlie. TG2 was so much better with them alive.

Lol I lost it when I saw Mav and Charlie

Excellent video Jabbers. I know this method was not used a great deal in real life. but it was there for a reason, so I like to at least train using these systems in case one day they become useful. I watched the CVW-11 video on Computer IP bombing (I believe you know each other). In that video an airfield is used as the IP. But an airfield is a large area. So if you designate somewhere inside an area lets say 2 miles square. Then your offset is going to be somewhere in a 2 mile square. In the CVW-11 video this was not a problem. Because he dropped a GBU and a FAC was lasing the tgt. So he got a pin point hit. I did post a question asking how this might work with dumb bombs. You have very cleverly found a way. By using two people as the IP you effectively made an IP in an area of only a few feet. This makes the offset very precise. Well done! I am now trying to think of other ways this might be used. An IP should be an easily recognisable feature. But I suppose you could use the control tower of an airfield instead of just an airfield. the northern corner of a building. a cross roads etcetera. or even smoke from a FAC Thanks for the video. Keep up the good work.

Yay! Saved Top Gun 2! Thank you Jabbers,

Fantastic! Great video. You should do one on go to properly set up course to ip used by jtac and how to line up for proper course into jtac's target using the Tomcat. The hsd makes this seem like it could be difficult.

Did we just watch the ending of Top Gun 2? Damn subtile Jabber, was a little comfused you weren't listed in the cast, but now I'm just looking forward to that Oscars unboxing vid.

Great content as always, but lol on having to convert feet to miles, no wonder the military went metric :D

finally！THX man!

so you designater somewhere near the target and it snaps to the coordinates?

So is it Magnetic Bearing we input or True bearing?

I don't know the actual terms but could you use the ccrp to designate a target manually and then jump to the Rio and enter in the offset from the position you plotted?

How do you figure all the numbers and bearings out though? Also can you get ai jester to do this?

So no way to move the camera laterally except banking the aircraft, right?

Could you use the IP point as a basic CCRP waypoint if you entered range,alt, bearing from IP as zero?

Hey jabbers, thanks for the video. Quick question. My buddy and I tried following the steps for IP bomb run, I did all the rio steps, he designated the IP, but then it didn’t shift to the BRA target. Any idea on what the issue could be? And yes, I input the IP info and IP to TGT info.

What was the point of turning on stores at 2:25? I thought those switches were only used for selective jettison. Are they needed for arming the bombs?

How do you move the target designator like that in order to find a ground target

I saw a video about A-6 drivers doing this in Vietnam with FAC on the ground giving them targets.

Hi Jabbers, may I ask what recording software you use? I try to record with OBS currently, but it constantly crashes/freezes the game, which is a pain in the arse. Your video quality is always superb, so I'm asking you. Thanks in advance!

i really dont get this. Cant you just use the exact target coordinates to do CCRP? it seems like this is not present in the f14, if anyone can clarify that for me.

Can you do a video about the missiles on the f14

**HELP** Do you know how to fix the hud ladder or vdi ladder? It will randomly lean to the left or right rather I'm flying or sitting on the ramp.

I have a rather specific question after watching this. So I've been flying the A-10C a lot recently in support of the F-14s since not owning it myself, at least yet, and one of the biggest limitations so far is that without a human RIO in multiplayer the tomcats cannot use their LANTIRN pod to drop laser guided bombs. This can be overcome with buddy lasing, all well and good. However, one of the difficulties of this is talking the pilot on to a rough area for therm to designate to release their bomb at, at this gets even more difficult if there is a particularly low cloud deck and there are things like AAA threats in the area. One way to get around this that I use frequently when assisting Hornets with a buddy lase is to provide them a lat/long from my TGP to bomb so I can designate the bomb onto the target from there. So my question: Is there a way a Tomcat can designate a release point without *having* to visually acquire it first? Since precision accuracy is not a concern when laser guiding ordinance getting even remotely close would work.

There goes freedom!

So your IP was where Mav and Charlie were located but your target was the offset FROM that IP? Right?

Okay, now that I know how this works, I'm going to use it exactly never. Lol, it would be so much more useful to just be able to type in Lat-Long coordinates and have those designated for computer-target bombing instead. The 10nmi limitation for designating is pretty limiting for a plane that can toss a bomb well past the outer range of a Tor defense.

Damned, didn't understand a shot of how I'm supposed to find all those info (bearing etc)

Cool video Jabbers, you delivered as promised. It is a shame this cannot be utilized in multiplayer however, without a human RIO. would be nice if you could get Jester to set the coordinates for the IP and Surface Target, and then just add one more command to select IP to TGT on the CAP, and he would input the relevant target data. Also you would only need one more cycle of the Computer/Pilot option within the A2G wheel, including an IP option. I would think it would be relatively easy to code a calculation between two waypoints in DCS on a command within the Jester A2G navigation menu, and if not, the ability to switch to the back seat to do this yourself should be an option in MP.

Wait, why did the designator jump from the building to the woods? o.0

Do you still play DCS?

I don't see the point of this mode. You place an IP point, but you can't see it on the HUD, so you have to mark it visually, in a jet that fast. I'd rather go CCIP :)

Haven't tried this yet, but I'm gonna go right ahead and say: there's no way I'm gonna be able to read the WPN TYPE selector in VR. No way.

Hi Jabbers. Couple of things I noticed that are either errors, or not made clear. 1. when you entered the IP location you did not enter an elevation. I think this may be dependent on the situation. In the CVW-11 video, it was mentioned that you don't actually need the coordinates of the IP. If it is an easily recognisable feature. You could just fly to it and designate it visually. So I would imagine that when you designate, the Tomcat will update the IP altitude from the ground elevation information from the radar as in computer bombing. But it should be mentioned. Because if you don't know where the IP is and you are given coordinates to fly to the IP and for instance its on top of a mountain. The IP altitude will be important. 2. TGT offset altitude ? In your description you are a little vague on this. Your exact words are... "They are at 1100 and we are at 900. so that's a difference of 200ft". That's very vague and some people watching might take "they are" to be either the IP or the TGT. and "we are" might be mistaken for own aircraft. Just to be clear when entering the IP offset you enter Bearing range & the difference in feet + or - between the IP and the TGT. sorry for the long comment. and im not being critical, its a excellent video and a very imaginative use of the Computer IP bombing system.

I liked that the Russians are "the bad guys", otherwise I wouldn't have continued to watch it, lol! Apart from the anti-russian mindset, the tutorial is nice, thanks!

Initial d

1st

more proof that the trees are way too big in this game, ruining the sense of speed at low alt

A mile isn't 6,000ft silly.
