How intervalometers work: It spaces release pulses in fractions of seconds. If you know the length of the target area (or runway) and your speed you can set interval to cover the target. The calculator on your desktop has conversion from knots to feet per second (or meters per second), so it's easy to calculate the optimal release interval
How to quickly determine a wind speed and direction in a jet like phantom? Without having 'gut' or 'butt' feel like in real aircraft, I find it hard to be sure of the wind vector and strenght. In Apache you have a separate icon for showing that. Here - I doubt it. Any good methods?
If you use the Dive Table and tell Jester the dive pattern, will he put the specified bomb in the middle of the stick on target so you don't have to pickle early? I'm not sure if this works with "Continuous" or with High Drag.
I am having a weird thing happening. When I go in at low level and start dropping the Snake Eyes, Jester ejects! What is going on? He says "oh shit!" then is gone. I did the same practice scenario 5 times and he ejected twice. When I got to the post briefing screen I did notice there was damage to the aircraft. I think I pulled up too hard on takeoff and hit the rear stabilizer. Anyone else have this happen?
Does the wind affect that much in real life? I mean, the Bombs are really heavy, the high rate of speed and the bomb trajectory are short at low level. Of course, when you drop the Bombs at 5000 ft and they going slower, it can or will effect on it. I could be totally wrong, but it seems to me, that this is slightly to much. Thank you for all your videos, they are helps me a lot.
The sort of unintuitive thing that you have to remember about winds is that size or weight don’t really factor in. Winds don’t push objects, so much as carry them. Imagine a leaf in a slow stream, relative to the bank the leaf is moving, but relative to the water around it the leaf is stationary. If you put a log in the same current, it would also be stationary relative to the water, and thus move at the same speed. Drift is a function of time. Assuming that those bombs took six seconds to land, and just for the sake of argument there was a 5kts crosswind. That crosswind component means that those bombs would drift 5nm (30,380ft) per 1 hour of falling. Six seconds is 1/600th of an hour so if we divide 30,380ft by 600 we get 51ft. Therefore even with fairly mild crosswinds a drift of 51 feet is not unreasonable to expect.
Be careful skipping ahead in this video, the first thing I heard was that "I'm going in dry". I was wondering what kind of video I clicked on.
I had considered making more of a joke about that but figured such an elegant crowd as the DCS community would find their own humor.
"So to speak"
It's CasmoTV... After hours
Thanks Casmo! That 140 mils is really helpful.

Im so excited to bring this beast of an aircraft up in the skies, I love your channel, keep up the great work!!!
Im concerned for that lack of concern for those ground forces.. excessive force. tsk tsk tsk.
We just need the blitz wing paint job now.
Down, Dirty and quick, thank you!
Thx for the Video!
Will you make a 1minute step-by-step Video for the agm shrike too? :)
Good stuff. Thank you.
Damn 2:30 hours to download the phantom
That transformers transition 😂
Casmo now "spamming" the videos out? Love it! XD
I don’t like people to have to suffer my having the module early any longer than they need to.

rock and roll!!

0:50 if we don't arm tail, the fins don't deploy?
and we can just use them like mk82 dumbs?

Speaking from a Charlie Hornet who cares!.....I'm kidding

I mean… a 737 is pretty damn heavy and I have to fight the wind to land in the right direction. So yeah 🤷🏻♂️

Don't you mean 1/20th?
Yes
Did it release ??
Affirm
At last
why you call 50 milliseconds as 5 twentieths ("tonyeths" ??) of a second?
I think you said it more than once?
1:20 for example here
thank you.
I think he means .05 = 1/20 of a second.
Casmo: "It goes from 1 second all the way down to 5. [A] Twentieth of a second."
my non-native english brain farted at this one. thanks :D
