  • Want to get better with unguided weapons? Practicing the US Air Force way will get you there. Here's how you can do it the same way the pros do.
    You can download the ranges used in this video from ED's site:
    www.digitalcom...
    The source material for this video is predominantly drawn from AETTTP 11-1 Introduction to Fighter Fundamentals (IFF). This is the instruction used for the Air Force's IFF course which all fighter pilots must attend before being attending the "B-course" that is specific to the airframe they will be flying at their permanent assignment. The fundamentals learned in IFF are critical to being successful in combat.
    While AETCTTP 11-1 is made available to everyone by the USAF, not everyone will be able to parse through it. My goal with this series is to help unravel that mystery for everyone regardless of background.

    Please keep the content coming this is highly needed. I only wish my squad taught this material. Thanks for taking the time to put it together. This will help me a great deal with our weekly missions.

    Mike, thanks for this, I come back to it every now and then after practicing :) 2 questions: 1) do you set your F5 trim for any particular portion of the pattern? 2) how do you figure the target elevation into your altimeter?

    • @TheOpsCenterByMikeSolyom
      @TheOpsCenterByMikeSolyom  Год назад

      1. Trim should just be for level flight at the base. 2. In a jet like the F5 you have to know the target elevation ahead of time. So it's either preplanned and a topographic map let's you know, or you have an observer on the ground radio it to you (this is why a CAS 9-line has target elevation as a mandatory line btw).

    Thank you so much for your wonderful content! It's really informative and helpful!
    I've downloaded the mission and tried it several times.
    Though I do keep falling short of the target while the nose is 30 degr down and the aimpoint on the target.
    Could it be the roll in maybe? Or could it be that I drop at a wrong altitude?
    I probably still have something off, but I can't figure out what it is yet.
    Edit:
    I have rewatched the first video and I probably have my AOP off. I am aiming on the target itself, but I should initially aim towards the AOP.
    Many thanks for your great videos! Absolutely love it!

      I'm very glad to hear the video helped. You also did the right thing by going back and reviewing what was happening. That's the best way to improve.

    I love this information. Would it be possible if you could demo this with our squadron? We fly the F-16 and are apart of one of the largest and most friendly DCS communities. Let me know

      Unfortunately, my DCS time is pretty limited for the time being. But I made sure to include all the steps you need to do this as part of a team. My goal with these videos is to get this info out there without me having to physically be present to teach the material. If you haven't already you can download the mission file used in the video (link is in the description and pinned comment) and have a ready made BSA range set up for you. With practice you and your community will do great. I know by the fact that you are here looking to improve yourself that you have what it takes. Good hunting.

    What is the 2-second blend?

    • @TheOpsCenterByMikeSolyom
      @TheOpsCenterByMikeSolyom  2 года назад +3

      When you're performing the Safe Escape Maneuver (SEM) after a bomb attack this refers to the 2 seconds you take to reach 4-G in the pull up. This is to reinforce the point that you shouldn't yank the stick but gradually build up to those 4-Gs in 2 seconds.

    I need the parameters of your mission. You showed yourself bombing. But from outside the plane. I downloaded nevada but idk what height i have to be to drop the bobmb i see you have it set to 31 mils. I would like to get my hands on the charts you use to figure it all out and maybe an equation or two please. I have like a ton of different charts and its causing me to overthink, and i need to copy u step by step to learn first before trying different numbers, cuz ill get frustrated and change it up lol

    • @TheOpsCenterByMikeSolyom
      @TheOpsCenterByMikeSolyom  2 года назад +1

      The parameters I used were a base of 10K above the target, 400 KCAS at base, set MIL power at roll-in, 30 degree dive angle, pickle when the gun sight is over the target.
      One thing I have to mention is it appears ED has changed something and 31 mils no longer works. It wasn't accurate according to RL charts either. Now its closer to the RL charts but still off. I'll be making another video at some point to explain the change and how to compensate in case it ever gets changed again. But for the time being I would try with something higher than 31 mils.

      @@TheOpsCenterByMikeSolyom that is amazing wonderful info. 31 mils is broken huh? Hmmm. There was a guy who wrote some amazing notes that he shared with me the other day I'll have to try those.
      So u didn't have a particular release point? U just dropped it when the pipper hits the target?

      @@fnslayeroc That's right. In real life you would go by what the chart/app says. That way you can plan a recovery altitude above any possible ground fire. But since those don't match up with DCS we just have to wing it.
      FYI, I did some more testing and found that for the profile I used in this video a depression of 51 works now. I'll make an update video soon so everyone else can see it too.

      @@TheOpsCenterByMikeSolyom lol i was practicing with 51 65 and 78 and different heights to drop from. they all seems pretty decent. according to the chart i was reading 51 for 30 degrees angle is 3k foot high drop.
      Another question, if i blow one of them targets completely up does it stop telling me i hit them?
