Hornet Update: Introduction to JDAM, LTWS and More
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 окт 2024
- PLANNED FOR 27 MARCH 2019
1- Update to IFF and D/L identification system
2- LTWS
3- JDAM
Next week we plan (not promise) a new Hornet Open Beta update that includes changes to the IFF/datalink identification system and introduction to Latent Track While Scan (LTWS) and the Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM). JDAM in particularly is still very much work in progress with large elements to still add. This video is provided to provide you an initial understanding of these systems.
Please also note that the A/A radar is an iterative process from which LTWS will be built upon to create the Track While Scan (TWS) mode and the Azimuth / Elevation (AZ/EL) modes.
Once the AZ/EL page is created, then the various automatic IFF modes will be implemented.
Before you ask… the targeting pod will come after the HARM is complete.
Thanks, and have fun!

I am very much looking forward to dropping some JDAMs in the very near future!

Ah beat to the punch on TGP. Can't wait for this aircraft to become fully independent platform.
Omg i cant wait for this LTWS!!! HORNET LOVE
Next will be MSI for LTWS.
Thank you Mr. Wagner for these detailed explanations. The Hornet is by far the most interesting module for me.
F-18 is getting complicated like my wife.
Thanks Matt, hope all is well and I appreciate the updates.
Very cool!
Will we be able to enter more precise coordinates for JDAM targets? In the video you only went to seconds level, which is +/- 100ft.
Later, yes
@@MattWagner Great work, Thanks!
been flying the tomcat and watching f14 vids the whole last week. this now looks like a space ship.
Two very different aircraft that bring differnet things to the table.
I hope that this also has a training mission/lesson with it to help this old man learn it : )
Are there any plans to implement knee board carrier landing ratings/scores like on the F14?
Wow! The Hornet is a killer machine!
So excited !!! Thanks ED team. Wags, we gonna have double gbu 38 per pylon ?
Yes, after the OB this week.
@@MattWagner I believe you misunderstood his question Wags. It was stated before there would not be multiple JDAMs per pylon by you prior. I believe the reasoning given was that the version modeled did not have the correct BRU rack in field at that time IRL.
If that has changed, great! I just don't think that is the case.
@@rainierfamilyhomestead. No, I understood thanks. Sometimes things change.
@@MattWagner BRU 55A confirmed? 😊
Lot of work done again, thanks guys!
Love all the new toys coming to the Hornet, but has there been any other news on when the MGRS coordinates will be implemented? Would be very useful for dropping JDAMS when target info is coming from JTAC.
The extra digit lot lat/lon on the A-10 would be pretty good too, if the plane supports that ofc.
@@bodifx Sure would be nice, but atleast it is fairly easy to convert from DM.m used by the A-10C to DMS currently entered in the Hornet...
holy moly.... the hornet is a beast
Excellent work Matt. Thanks
Quick question. Is AGM-84H SLAM-ER still in plans or not?
Later in early access
@@MattWagner I can't wait to tell S-300's to shove it where the missiles don't glow when the SLAM-ER comes out.
Super Matt, thank you
Hey Matt, thanks for the video! Is it possible to use the Military Grid for the target coords? Are the Lat/Long coords precise enough to hit a relitive small target?
Theoretically with all PP targets set up accordingly an them being in close vicinity i could switch quickly between each Target and drop a whole load-out in a single pass right?
Yes, if all within the "sack"
@@Golfrnut. Yes, I'll probably make a little video of this tomorrow.
HELL YEAH! Awesome stuff, thanks for the update!
Very cool, looking forward to using this!
Brilliant Matt...
Oh boy, the F18 sure is awesome :) will it be possible to see the diamond target icon through the JHMCS?
So for that extra caret to appear above the diamond when someone else has also designated the target as a hostile, does it also require that they have the target locked? or Just more than 1 identified as hostile, and does AWACS count in that +1 if it doesn't need someone to lock it?
Im a little confused as to the benefit of preplanned mode. What's the point of a preplanned mode if you have to put Lat/Long in anyways? I would think that data would be in there already? Im sure I'm missing something.
Yeah look Matt, we're gunna need you guys to do a suite update on the A10C now, you're making it obsolete! :)
i love my A10C but yeah, why fly it when the bug has AGM88s and JDAMs and the F14 makes a great bomb truck with 18 500lbers that can land and rearm with AIM54s
Fantastic work as always ED team getting keen for my JDAM blues, post JDAM and JSOW, are you able comment on what AG ordnance will be next? Walleye would be cool 🤣
With all the Tomcat hype I missed the last Hornet updates...I feel behind with all those missed lessons ..
Hey wags.... just checking when the targeting pod is going to be released ;)
I believe Wags had mentioned that they guy working on the HARMs is the one that will be working on the Lightening and the ATFLIR. The Lightening is supposed to get some love after the HARM is complete - supposed to be "soon."
It's a shame sarcasm doesn't always come across in words to some... It's the only thing I've got going :(
Gotta love PP mode.
Can you put this video in your "hornet training videos" playlist
and put IFF in the title?
Sorry I can't get what does he means with "Mode forward" identification when talking about IFF, is that a button or something?
Depress on the Sensor Control Switch from the HOTAS section of controls.
@@MattWagner Thank you Matt, keep on with the good job!
Thank you
On the UFC IFF section, what are 1 / 2 / 3 / 4A /C buttons for? is this the different modes for IFFing? are they implemented yet? thx
I would love to have a auto mode for the JADAMs, its the case that I miss often the best drop point and a JADAM misses.
I am assuming for TOO mode, just like PP mode, you will need an accurate waypoint created down the exact lat/long anyway? In which case, when it comes to multiplayer servers, whats the difference between setting it as a waypoint initially while aligning on the ground vs hammering it in when you find it? It does require quite a lot of F10 mapping to get the lat/longs for these things.
Great to see the module coming together, the F18 and F14 are fantastic additions to the game and really give a feel of a complete module.
My only real complaint is spotting other aircraft and how difficult it is, but that's not really for this video.
WE NEED THE TGP DADDY WAGS
This is amazing great stuff
so how will we know a target that is flanking us in BFM is enemy if the mission designer adds bluefor jets to both sides? Or even if the fight gets closer and there are no friendly fighters to assist in IFF? Would have to wait for an NCTR print?
Fantastic.
noob question: at 7:46 how do you "designate" a target in LTWS? with what button exactly? the usual TDC depress?
I think it will be 'Sensor Control Switch - Depress' to designate, not TDC select.
@@paulj1036 seems reasonable, thanks!
@@paulj1036 turns out it is TDC depress :)
Hey Matt,
those are very good videos but why doesn't eagle dynamics make training mission with so much information provided ? That would be fantastic !
We do, check in the Training selection on the main menu.
I have no training missions regarding for example AGM-65. Do you mean the missions in the mission menu ? There are some missions with AGM 64 E/F but without comments explaining what i have to do like in trainings or active pause...
Or should I move to beta ?
@@twanmal. We create the training mission once the system is 100% done. For the Maverick, we will now create it because the TGP is available.
great video. I noticed the coord you added to the JDAM stayed in LLMMSS. Has it been also corrected for the waypoint management or do they still convert in DDMMDDD ?
Very cool. Do the LTWS line-of-sight symbols work on the JHMCS?
Yes, later.
So if I want to fire I need to switch to stt before firing or I have to switch to it then require then fire ?
What are the steps you need to take on start-up for the SA page to display Data Link targets? Can't seem to make it work on a cold start-up, but works in missions where you start in-air.
On the ufc you need press the D/L button and turn the datalink on, after that you just need friendly aircraft with datalink in the air to share information such as ai f-15s, f-16s, f/a-18s E-2, E-3
Any plans for the Laser Guided JDAM Wags? Looking forward to the update!
Flight101 Aviation. No, not possible
Will the Harpoon anti ship missile also be made for the Hornet?
When entering the Lat long, do you press enter enter because there wasnt a decimal value on the end?
Yes. If you want enter a SS decimal value, enter it after the first ENT.
How accurate are the coordinates in the maps? Can i use Google Maps to get coordinates of say a bridge and then expect to hit it in DCS?
You should always use the game map to derive coordinates.
Will the JDAMs be able to use the various new types of fuzes as shown in one of your Hornet mini updates on the forum?
Later, yes... JPF
Talking about a targeting pod.......
Awesome, thanks Wags! I was wondering, will the F-18C get the feature that you can select a target on the SA page, and it automatically locks it on the radar, or isn't that really a thing in the Hornet?
No such ability in the Hornet.
So the half "foo"? Diamond on top means another aircraft has id that tgt as hostile but they aren't necessarily also locked on that tgt? And can a e2 also make that happen?
When i saw that gbu flying level i was like oueueueueue!
HAFU. Top is your identification, and bottom is donor identification.
so the speed should be set in feet per second?!? not knots?!? how can you translate while flying your 400knots?!?
Question - you say PP parameters can be entered in editor in addition to while in plane. How??? thanks for the great toys ;-)
I misspoke, it is not quite ready yet.
UFC "HDTH" is that a bug? It should stand for Height... If not a bug I would like to know what the acronym stands for. See video at 11:47
Exactly, how did that happen? ;-)
"We are currently using coordinate entry in the HDTH (hundredth of a degree) option. Later, we will add the THSD option (termed PRECISE when used in the HSI for waypoint entry/modification). " from Wags' another JDAM video notes.
can you tell us how to unlock the target in the ltws mod and let the radar return to rws mod?
I really hope we can carry multiple of these, Should be possible with the BRU-42 or BRU-55 right? (since they are basically the same with the MK-82 bombs, just the other is "intelligent" and the other isn't)
I would love to have at least 8 of these or more. Also with the BRU-41 would be a dream to carry 6 of them in a single pilon.
Do we will have it back the BRU-41? I remember one of the first videos showcasing 12 MK-82.
You can do it yourself in the .lua. It's still there, you just have to delete "---" next to the MK-82 x6
hi matt thaks for you videos
I tested the jdams yesterday and i only have one complaitn why I only can carry 4? I mean even the mk82 warhead jdam only have the posibililty to be carried 1 by pylon intead of 2 which makes me think about why I would take jdams instead of the AGM65F i belive that in real live you can carry the same quantity as other gbu amunition.

You Know, I am soooo ExCiteD, and I just can't hide it, I'm about to lose control, ah, oh, no, nevermind, just lost it... JDAM! Thank you, thank you so very much. Oh the things i'm going to bomb with that besides the usual suspects. Like bridges, high priority buildings, pesky chipmunks on golf courses on the NTTR Map, while giving the course a few new sand traps. ;)
How many Jdam can you take per station?
Once we get the BRU-55 rack, 2 per pylon, currently only 1 per pylon
Is FLIR in development?
Yes
Does the TDC of radar can work with the TDC of SA page ?
They are independent.
@@MattWagner They are independent in the real F-18, aren't they?
Bull 305 LCDR. William Vuillet "Vieter"
how far from Ground Radar are we?
15:36 What button to "release" the weapon cam?
iko ctrl+F11 when in missile/bomb view
@@dalewong7643 Thanks, I will try that!
Will you ever be able to set MGRS in JDAMs?
No, that would not be accurate, but MGRS for HSI coordinate entry will be added later.
@@MattWagner adding more digits doesnt make it more accurate without a mensuration anyways :) ps love the F-18 cant wait for the viper!
when will the JDAMS ome
Any news for MGRS input?
Later
We want the Moab in the game
Ground radar and TGP, Wags???
I wish I read the fine print when I first was introduced to dcs now I'm stuck with f 18 on steam and f 14 on stand alone.
You can transfer your Steam purchase to the e-Shop version.
@@MattWagner oh snap thank you btw I absolutely love the work you guys put into this.
why's the left mfd black out on the bottom right side in the sa page.?
Because there is a caution/advisory displayed.
@@MattWagner is there a way to get rid of it?
Is it possible to drop a Jdam on a moving target ?
You'd have to setup the coordinates infront of the vehicle, as JDAM is used for static objects
Wags give us any Vulkan news...pleassss
When there is new news we'll share.
@@MattWagner ok...well good luck with coding then.
Again, no equal to this sim. I know you have a lot on your plate but at some point, nobody could do an F 35 like you guys. Seems like there is enough from Lockheed out there that it could be done without compromising any classified stuff.
oh boy, the f35 would be too powerful for this era of planes. its nearly undetectable and can do a whole lot of crazy stuff that would just be plain cheating in dcs world.
Can you define drop quantities via the ufc ?
No, through the SMS per the video.
What exactly is NCTR🤔?
Abhiraj singh, although I’m not exactly sure, I think it stands for:
None Cooperative Target Recognition
I think it uses your own radar returns from the target’s engine compressor blades to id it.
Therefore your radar needs to be able to look into the target’s intake duct to ‘see’ the compressor blades, so he needs to fly towards you.
It will not work if the target’s range is too high though.
Mmmmmm launch area zones.....we aren't nerds at all.....
Outdated :(
Hey Wags, have you seen Movers comments about drag on his video ruclips.net/video/YL8o14F52RM/видео.html ?
The hornet is going to be the most capable aircraft in DCS when it's done. It will even be better than the F-15C for BVR with datalink
