Great video! Thanks. Note, when you switch views on the Maverick and say, "this is the 1st one" it's actually the 2nd one. When you launch multiple mavs or drop bombs, the 1st one will always arrive last. Any shot after the 1st will be from a closer distance and get there sooner.
More informative that most of the others. The biggest problem for others is the TMS short/long stuff. People need to see that in slow motion to understand. Thank you for a very easy guide on how to utilize the AGM65H's at long range. Probably use these to take out SAM's.
Wow, I've been flying F-16 since it came out and I had no idea about this.. This is what makes the 16 better than the A-10 as far as mavericks. I've always wanted to utilize the 16's altitude and speed advantage for a mav launch and now i can!
A10 can do it too. Being agn 65 h Then once you have slewed your mav to the tgt hit boat switch aft then back to centre, then tms up. Will force the mav to lock form any range. Keep in mind mav had 15 second battery life. So it will stop tracking after 15 sec or so.
So many combinations to this, you can you SP mode, you can use create mark points, you can even slew the point in the hud, all with the PRE mode not assigned to steerpoint
Excellent vid. You seem quite knowledgeable. How do you get the tpod to bore mode after the last updates. You used to be about to just press tms down and you would get the re-centered tpod indicator on the HUD but now you can't. If I don't want my tpod automatically slave to steer points, how do I just get it centered on hud and slewable?
Looks like this is essentially force correlate mode. Not realistic in real life, but can take advantage of it in DCS since lock "inaccuracy" isn't really modeled
Well it depends what your going to hit I agree they prob wouldn’t use it on a tank but a big bunker or somthign wound t matter I would imagine. Thx for watching
My friend, you need head tracking. If you have any electronics skills you can build your own with a webcam, a few IR LED's and freetrack software if you can't afford TrackIR. There are also guides online But head tracking will revolutionize this game for you if you haven't used it before. If you have, please forgive my ignorance ;)
Its been so frustrating to once in awhile be able to fire just one Mav and then not be able to repeat it again. After I saw this video at night in bed, I could not wait to try it out on PC. I just found this: TMS FWD (or TMS UP) My pod keeps moving and I cant get it to lock on ?
Once you found your tgt hit tms fwd (up) and it will do to point track mode the pod should stop moving and your maverick will be looking where the tgp is looking
What is TMS forward short? I am not using a thrust master HOTAS? Thanks for the detailed instruction on your video I am going to give it a go vs the SA6.
For some buttons in the viper and a10 they do different things if you hold them or just press them. Tms fwd short is just pressing it once. Tms fwd long is holding it
@@callsignnictmere465 In the controls they are called TMS Up / TMS Forward, TMS Left, TMS Aft / TMS Down, TMS Right. Short and Long is like Aviation Nation said :).
Do you use reshade? And if so would you be able to share your presets? Whatever you're using to get that sharpening makes the cockpit look suuuuper crisp
Ted Weiss I do a little bit but I play always in vr so not really.but I can send you this link on reshade real quick and it’s the settings I use. ruclips.net/video/ZY6vcVw-E04/видео.html.
@@T-Tailer Can you please tell us the name of the specific functions in the controls menu, so we can map it too? I cant find that in any video that is about the TPOD, very frustrating.

@@T-Tailer how is the Mav usually guided then if not 'AREA' mode? Is it laser-guided and that's the source of the range issue? Sorry for Qs, I got the F-16 as my first 'real' module so all the systems are bewildering!
SquillagusNiggle depending one the Maverick it it or tv it will guide to where the Camera is looming however the D mav cant go into area mode you need an ir signature. So the h and other mavs your van force into into area mode so it allows you to fire from farther then if you didn’t put it in area mode.
@@SquillagusNiggle Usually you lock the Mavericks onto a heat signagure (for the ones with IR sensors) or camera tracking (for those with CCD (tv) sensors). But due to their limited resolution, you usually need to be at 7nm or closer to get a good lock, especially if there's multiple targets near each other. The larger mavericks designed for busting buildings also have a guidance system that allow them to just go to a position without a specific lock, and that area mode isn't range-limited by the need for an optical/ir lock. So as seen here, you can use that mode against vehicles too as long as they don't move, as they won't track moving targets. In addition to not tracking though, another downside is that you can't carry these larger maverics on a triple rack, so you'll be carrying a lot less of them.
I assume this is singleplayer? In multiplayer, my TGP/Mavs are just a big mess of bugs. I've never ever seen them work like this, despite me issuing the same commands and procedure as here.
SDsc0rch it’s area mode it goes to the point., what’s Unrealistic. The range? Because I’m pretty high and almost the speed of sound. Plus the Moyer if the mav it prob reaches Mach 1 and over.
SDsc0rch not sure, but if they need to engage from further it’s their. So I’d assume they would want to get closer for a better shot, they might use this in buildings because they can’t move lol
honestly this was easier to understand then GR and wags video lmao thanks!
Hey thx for watching.. glad it helped

It worked me perfect for me. Thank you so much!

@@T-Tailer uncaging the mavs worked thanks for that
@@T-Tailer Yeah it turned out I forgot to put a steerpoint nearby and the tpod didn’t like it XD
I follow this exactly and missile does not fire... wtf
As a total DCS noob, how does this differ from the 'normal' Maverick engagement modes? Why are the other modes shorter-ranged?
SquillagusNiggle if you were not to do this the you would to get a lot closer also if you used a AGM-65 D it’s locked to 7 nm

does this still work? the handoff isn't properly working
Haven’t tried in while wouldn’t know
did the first one that landed hit your second target and the second one hit your first target or am i confused?
Bryan D first one I watched was second mav Launched.
yeah bc the second missile still had more kinematics bc it was shot closer to the target it catched up with the first missile🙂

got the same problem it is a gigantic mess. moving back to the F18

This was before viper had harms, but if you take off with hs and find yourself with no harms you can do this as well.

is this a technique pilots actually use
or is it a "sim-ism"

I'm sure IRL they don't use this mode for vehicles, static objectives for sure, but not the H which has a very low explosive power.
@@0Ignition0 low explosive power? Hellfire Missiles are cracking tanks like nothing, with "just" a 9kg Load, a Maverick H has over 50kg iirc
