#GRTutorial #DCSTutorial #FA18C #Hornet #DCSWorld
the bird might be getting old, but for sheer reliability & versatility, the F/A-18 is still my 'go to' aircraft.
I would like to report that hypoxia is now modeled. I found out by accident. I was in an f14 flying at angels25. Then my HUD started becoming blurry, and the outer portion of my view in vr started turning grey. I thought my vr hmd was broken then I realized I forgot to turn my oxygen on. After turning it on, everything went bsck to normal
Copy thx!
lmao my rio learned that the hard way
1:09
Sounds like you said "we have a lightning port"
Nice to hear the hornet already supported that port way back, it's so useful
One would have prefered usb-c but oh well..
@@AceCmbatguy25 indeed, more standardised and versatile port.
I don’t even fly military sims, however, I’ve been following this channel for years. Excellent entertainment. Very informative video, as always.
Try it out!
You should give it a go, I used to do only civilian sim, but now I nearly only fly military. Got bored of the setup aircraft-let it fly to the destination the land it.
Thx damo I like seeing your comments x
@@Matt_10203same
Great vid Cap! and great work ED on the work you're putting in on the A/G features of the F18!
It seems I need a WSO to help me targeting, lol! I'm not a good Hornet pilot either...
yep ive seen pilots of other planes making fun of WSOs but can you imagine trying to do all this while evading missiles or dogfighting another plane.
Short and to the point, as all tutorials should be. Thanks.
Thank u for these quick and too the point tutorials. U & waggs are the only 2 who do them right. Everyone else just talks too fucking much. The whole point is to learn what you need to do as quick as possible so u can get back into the sim and fly. I don't want to sit around listening to rambling for 30 min while skipping thru the video to find the relevant stuff. So thank you! Much appreciated!
How do you already have a tutorial? The patch came out only a bit ago!
EclipticSim they get early access to the updates I’m pretty sure, so they can make videos before release.
This one we did actually get same as you guys, just rushed it, but we did get P-47 early.
holy hell this is complicated. I imagine the real pilots must train on some sort of simulator beforehand to get the procedure down.
The actual firing of the missile looked super weird to me. Seemed to take off like a high velocity rocket and not like a subsonic guided missile.
He was in Active-Pause
*** Ok, now - you lost me after set Master Arm. :)
Really slick with these videos now Cap, many thanks as always. Very much appreciated.
thx
What's more amazing, The plane that I flew in the Navy carried 8 AG-84's, We loiter for hours and find our own target's. After Data linking our targets to the "Higher up's" we could then put weapon on target and go back to looking for more target's and repeat the process. The 18's needed targeting info before they left the ground/deck, they go to hit target and then have to RTB.
side note: At the time of my flying service, the data link pod for fighters was still in it's infancy. Lightning wasn't even a thing yet. Our demonstrated capability in Kosovo was a major argument for the lengthened service life of my platform (Which is still flying today).
Which aircraft? P-3 Orion? The amount of weapons that thing can carry and time on station is impressive.
Cool How did it carry 8 x 84s?
@@grimreapers Yes, P-3C. It has 10 hard points (not including the bomb bay) We could fly with 8 Harpoons or 8 SLAMs. My best time was 15h 03m, lol, long time to hold a 'expletive'.
@@xeigen2 I always said, "The Air Force has the AC-130, the Navy has the P-3"
Thanks Cap you're doing us all a valuble service.
please make a video how to fire very long range missiles like Kh 65 22 66, AGM 86C, cruise missiles. from moded Aircraft like B-1B TU 160 and TU 22M3
you dont believe that i tried over 7 hours but still didnt get it.
it would very helpful man thanks.
I just love watching these videos
You have to mantain pressing the tdc depress button and at the same time using the tdc buttons to guide the missil. mmm now I understand, I think Matt Wagner didn't mention that very important thing in his video.
YouR always there man and just in time. Thanks for an awesome tutorial.
For me the SLAM doesn't go into terminal stage where it goes into an angle to attack the target, it goes into a level flight from MED at 15k at 5k feet and stays there. No attack stage, what am I doing wrong? (fuze set, too mode, distance 15 or 5 nm, release type MAN, waypoint designated)
Could be the altitude of your waypoint? Ive had issues with that in the Jeff
Nice video 👍
I would prefer the Norwegian Joint Strike Missile (JSM) though, no need for manual control at any stage.
thx a lot for this tuto, very clear and without useless speech. Congrat !
0:00 - 0:20 please just trim and edit the audio but leave the video so its not ugly
For some reason I can't enter an elevation on PP mode, so my missile always comes a little short. On TOO it works perfectly fine. Thx
Boy, you guys are quick. Nice.
I have been a subscriber since you had less than 10k subscribers. Just wanted to say that the quality of your tutorials have really improved. Faster, to the point, and are more correct. This video added to Matt Wagner’s tutorial with the golden nugget reminder about TDC realistic settings. Nice one.
Thanks Kard!
This weapon is awesome but complicated, controling this weapon while fying and maintaining situasional awareness is hard 😅. I think it would be nice to have second people such as WSO/RIO to control the weapon and reduce the workload.
I’ve learned how to do the GBU BOMBS, but the air to ground missiles seem difficult on the f/a-18 but way easier on the A-10
Nice clear tutorial thanks
Amazing tutorial to learn from Cap! Thanks!
thx
What does weapon do you completely skipped passed it after calling it out
My problem is that I can’ distinguish much on terminal phase. Can’t see the tank well enough or soon enough to guide the missile. Large buildings I can but tanks and other small targets are really hard to see
is that realistic that missile is not entirely fire and forget ? you have to manually control it to hit your target
For this type if missiles, yes this is how it was designed.
It is designed to hit the right window in the right building.
Super Thank you Grim
in my case everything goes right until a few feet of the impact the missile suddenly turn down and miss the target :/
nice :D does it avoid terrain if fired for low altitude?
will investigate
is it possible to fire the Slam earlier and than adjust it with the pod ?
so when i use the tpod on the SLAM, it doesnt work for me yet when i use the AG radar it works sort... cant get the self guiding screen
Excellent tutorial and easy to understand
Great tutorial. Do us a favor and tell ED to add the GBU-54 to the Viper and Hornet though. We know you know people Cap. :-)
Did they carry it in real life? The blocks that we have?
This is a good question. It was operational around 2011 and was a joint USAF/USN program. I know the F-16 and A-10 use it. I cannot find any info on if the C model F-18 did. I will keep searching.
What’s great news is that we’re getting the SLAM-ER and Paveway III for the Hornet.
Edit: Ok. The Navy had the GBU-54 IOC in 2018 at the latest. The F-18C was retired in early 2019. So in all likelihood the F-18C was capable of carrying it. Will continue to search if any were actually used with the platform, but from what I have read they were both in operation at the same time. Even if that window was very small.
Must be early access because my jet don't have that! When does the patch drop?
Open beta
You need to go into the open beta
Big warning about something that's often missed in the DCS community: the open beta is, as the name suggests, a beta.
Do not expect stable performance, do not expect fully developed features, and apply yourself to report bugs.
The last point is important - this is the reason you're given the opportunity, to test the features to help the developers. People seem to take it as a chance to test stuff earlier, and then return the favour by complaining, not providing constructive data and critique.
Only go open beta if you want to help.
I run open beta and I don't have this stuff.
Scratch that, it just took longer for me to get the update being I live in the U.S. Seems we have to wait a day longer then Europe.
Still don't get how older Jets hit targets with bombs. How do you know the coordinates for a Truck or Bunker to hit? Don't you need a visual image of the target?
Define your 'older jet'
But you get it right, the base idea is Intel if you attack anything. IRL you don't hassle all around wandering 'what should I kill today', you have a command element who (in the end of a long process) will give you a target with every info available on it. Target of opportunity comes available with datalink, targeting pods and advanced comms.
You get the coordinates from the F10 map. Press Alt Z twice in map view to get the lat and long cords in their full format.
Having trouble with this missile, following this, putting the crosshairs on the target, and the missile just will not turn to it.
Patch day...what's the first video CZcams suggests me? Of course Cap's SLAM tutorial!
Makes sense!
Awesome, but how did you know all this if it's only just come into beta - are there some notes somewhere?
so these are super mavericks
After firing my first Slam, the second one seems going ballistic, overshooting the target and exploding in flight. What am I doing wrong? Thx
i had 4 in a row like that. SCS was on the correct DDI and I still couldn't slew the missile.
@@eq1373 I can’t get the flr to work. That step never works. The part where you have the crosshairs and you can move it around to lock onto ground targets. Mine never gives me an option to turn on and I do all he steps. Anyone know why ?
@@chebb3699 I've just come to the conclusion over time that SLAMs are junk and don't work as advertised.
That's probably why they were in service for only 10 years.
@@eq1373 lol I figured it out and man do they miss. Jdams are wayyy better . Slams miss and are hard to guide manually aswell
It’s hard to beat a JDAM or JSOW-C.
It’s like the walleye imo. It’s fun to use once but there are better options out there. Perhaps they’ll add the SLAM-ATA, though I don’t think it’s out of development yet.
Do we know what the Communication range is for the Datalink pod to Missile? If we fire then turn cold right away will it be too far for signal?
Would be interesting to know since the SLAM-ER (84H/K) has a range of 170nm and IIRC still uses that AWW-13 DL pod.
My favourite weapon. Try it against ships
Little known fact: You can’t use it against ships because the E model is not called the Harpoon. If you tried it would simply bounce off. So make sure you use the AGM-84D. E stands for “except for ships”, D stands for “D ships only.”
@@irememberjeepz not true just did try the best will be the AGM 158
Can you cover the air to ground radar and how to use it for deploying say, harpoons and slams?
Yeh making that vid tomorrow.
Nice one Cap
Maybe go into more detail rather than "as you all know by now." rather than expecting that people can make the leap on how two independent systems operate with each other.
Can you transfer target of opportunity TOO info target coordinates from FLIR pod to the H variant of AGM84? Or does the FLIR work ONLY for this E variant of the AGM84? Thank you everyone!
Can I move around/turn back to avoid any threat and still be getting video feed from the seeker via datalink pod? Also, can I use it without a datalink pod? what is the advantage/disadvantage in that?
hm, i think a designated waypoint as targetpoint with "precise" input isnt worse this t-pod ?
precise waypoints have same quality compared to tgp input. and both are very very good.
@@bruh-man3908 so without having a tpod we cant see the explosion because the missile seeker is destroyed too,right ? but for what is the datalink pod ?
How long range is the datalink? I don't suppose you can fire, turn 180 and book it at full mil.
I wonder if the limit is DL power or earth curvature?
Grim Reapers maybe that’s something you’d want to test - maximum standoff of a SLAM & DL. Keep up the good work!
We like u a lot
Does the SLAM warmup affect both missiles or do they need to be warmed up separately?
should be like JDAM and JSOW and warm all up.
Stupid Question, But what is SCS Right & How do I apply it to activate the Slewing? Thanks
SCS = sensor control switch
We got a slam
They can use it in low fly mode for engaging S-300 sam systems very capable missile. SLAM-ER is way better if they are going to add one.
This was always a complex aircraft, but now…...…. As everybody states, your videos are instrumental to learning to operate this plane (and others). I wonder how many hours a young, dedicated person would need to really learn to fly and USE this plane in DCS . Does anyone know how many school hours - on the ground and in the air - it takes to be a fully qualified IRL F/A18 pilot?
20hr per week on a single airframe I hear for min retention.
Should be called the LTS Missile...(Life's Too Short!)
Đi đúng hướng
very straight forward great!!
Good video. You could almost say it was a SLAM-dunk.
Anybody knows why i don't have this missile in my DCS? Or it's only in open beta client ?
OB only yes
Hello, I can't find the agm-84E anywhere, neither in created missions nor training .... I have the release version 2.5.6, does it come in the dropdowns with another name? good job, thanks
It's ion Open Beta version. are you on normal version?
@@grimreapers yes, I have the release version installed
I can't see the E version of this missle in the rearming page.
Open Beta only ATM
@@grimreapers tnx
Cap why is everyone on reddit giving the Grim Reapers so much shit? Is there a beef or something? Everyone is talking nasty words
I don;t get it either. Every time I ask them to give me an example of something I've done wrong, they just go quiet. We've given them enough of a chance. Time to move on.
@@grimreapers I saw a post where they were gathering people to petition ED to stop aknowledging your or something like that LOL
Whatever their problem is, they must realize that this channel is bringing in more players than probably even ED's channel. Maybe they do realize this and are salty about it.
They hate us cause they ain't us.
similar to the 802AKG
I prefer this, easier to control in terminal phase.
FLIR is not showing up for me what am i doing wrong
Switch right console at rear, remember to turn that on first.
@@grimreapers thanks i got it going
One question: What is TDC?
throttle designator, watch the controls video to get all the buttons needed
thx
TDC: Too Damn Complicated
:D
More or less how many time pass between open beta and official release ?
If things go as well as possible, Stable gets updated a week after the OB. Though they did it with less time in between last week with the SC release.
Khái hỏa đi 😡💛
Whens the 84e going to be available to use?
Not sure yet. Couple of weeks?
Cap, you forgot the M in AGM in the tittle.
thxx
So is it just a longer range maverick?
I guys you can say that, but you can't control Mav once its left the plane??
*guess
More like 3xmaverick warheads in one
How long can the IR Seeker be maximum be on?
hmmm not tried.
@@grimreapers can you put it for DIST 55 and it immediately turn on the Seeker?
My DCS is a little bit broken ive got the steam version. But when i update the game than i got an overwritte error for handlings of every plane orso. Ive tryed to re install but no results. Can some one help me please?
Try verifying your files (DCS>left click>propertys>files>verify files)
"Handlings"? You mean for controls?
Save your profiles. (One profile per controls column unfortunately).
Also do what Leonhardo said.
Its more like: DCS user manual EN and RU, and DCS Flight manual of every plane i did not change my game files
I had the same issue on the most recent update through Steam. Verifying showed clean. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the game (w/ the latest version) and had the same issue. I noticed clicking on Download did actually proceed a little further. Doing that a few dozens times or so eventually got me to the end of the download. Seemed a little sketchy, but the game seems to work fine. Good luck.
Is this not available on the Steam version? 'cause I don't have access to it and google hasn't provided any answers.
Open Beta only, you Stable guys will get it in a few weeks.
Awesome, can't wait! Thanks for the reply
Damn, that SLAM can travel about an hour's worth of driving :)
Now if only there was a way to make it fly to a waypoint, then turn to a known bearing and range from there (like a harpoon) and look for a laser spot
why not use pre-planned mode where you get the coordinates? Seems straightforward enough and it takes care of at least half of your problem.
NICE VIDEO M8, im a new youtuber might i get some help with a shoutout or just help in anyway
what was that again!!!!!
how fast are you cap haha
Really going to use a SLAM on a tank? ...
Tank was made of gold?
@@grimreapers Then it is a SOFT vehicle.
First for the first time!!!
For me the SLAM doesn't go into terminal stage where it goes into an angle to attack the target, it goes into a level flight from MED at 15k at 5k feet and stays there. No attack stage, what am I doing wrong? (fuze set, too mode, distance 15 or 5 nm, release type MAN, waypoint designated)
