well, I played the training mission and reading
“When not mode selected only the asterisks of the scratchpad are highlighted.
In this case it is highlighted and the HUD displays ETA.”"simply doesn’t match what’s happening during the flight, thus is confusing.
In the mission as flown TOS ends up not being selected - if the training mentions how to select it (ICP 0) you’d avoid questions in the forum re caret showing.

In the training manual on the Mission 2: Basic Navigation, p32, at the bottom where it says “the CDI is still set to 248°…”. I think it should be “the Course Arrow is still set to 248°…” The CDI has moved to the 2nd dot, parallel to the Course Arrow .

Yep, will correct, thanks

in <bms-training.pdf>, p.99
Knowing from which side the bomb will be released is therefore very useful and can be easily checked in the TGP page by looking at the highlighted station number.
The station selected for dropping can be changed with the MSL STEP button on your sidestick.i tested it, it dos’t work, it cycle bomb mode from CCRP CCIP DTOS.

indeed
I screw that one up. Use OSB button insteadThanks for the feedback
-
what? i dont think so.
i tried OSB on both side, no one works.
i think BMS dos’t have this function. -
I think you’re right. I must be seriously confused with AG missiles.

@Red:

You can only step stations with AG missiles, yes. The MMC drops from alternate sides for bombs automatically. You can adjust its drop pattern by reprogramming the loadout to omit a station if need be - though not in BMS, with the automagic loadout selector in the SMS.

@Red:

I confirm, dumb bombs and LGB cannot be “stepped”. A workaround for Hung ordnance (that would prevent single release and forbid to jump to the next station) is to drop in pair.

Apologies if this has been posted already.
Page 127 refers to Force Correlation mode of the AGM-65G. It says ‘You don’t need to designate track with TMS up but aim for the lowest possible spot on the span.’
This is not correct. Without a TMS up to designate the missile will not track and will simply lawndart.
Edit RD: need investigation

p.133
we are planning to attack both columns with a pair of JSOWs in trail, it’s best to fire JSOWs at INS steerpoints rather than cursor positions, so we need to mark both centres of the columns and use them as our attack INS steerpoints. As both attack axes are different, we’ll set the first two bombs for the 315¡ã column, ripple the first two JSOWs, then program the SMS for the next column axis before releasing the last 2 bombs.consider about this situation, i think it should be two?

p.132 As with any other CBUs in BMS the burst altitude should actually be called burst height as it is a distance from the ground and not an altitude.
p.133 2500 feet for EGEA and 4 Nm ROB. 2500 ft AGL seems a good altitude for cluster munitions and ROB is left at the default of 4.0 Nm.all this comment make me feel EGEA=burst altitude(AGM-154A),
but in <to-bms1f-16cm-34-1-1.pdf>, p.199, figure 87 giving another story. Changing the EGEA will affect the elevation of the JSOW flight path weapon trajectory in order to avoid weapon impact with the terrain prior to arriving at the target.
finally i did my test, no matter 700ft or 2500ft to set, the final hits r the same. i think figure 87 is correct.</to-bms1f-16cm-34-1-1.pdf>

This feedback has to do with the Training.pdf and the Dash-1. Both say the best method to get to AAR Pre-contact, but give different advice.
Training.pdf p52.–-The best method to get that position correctly is to use the gun cross and the boom.
Dash-1 p154.–-----The best method to get that position correctly is to use the FPM and the boom.Which one is best of the best?
Edit RD: corrected in next version of dash1. Training is correct with guncross
-
jc1- Guncross has been stated in my readings as the initial boom location. Your fPM will fluctuate with speed and wind, where the cross is stable. It may keep you from having to abort too; as it is usually higher than the FPM which might keep you from having the boom strike your canopy…

So I’ve got a question re: where you want to have someone park & shut down once they land. When should it be on the ramp, when should it be in the parking area, and if there are multiple parking areas which one? I.E. TE6 where im comming in on Taegu, I don’t normally run thru Taegu and I see there are two parking areas alpha & bravo, HAS on the North taxiway and anti-blast structures on the South taxiway, and a maintenance lot. Where do I want to park since the Valet is off duty?
But nicely done. Can’t wait for the NOTAMs to start.
-
Take it back to the HAS and let the crew chief worry about it.

Mission 5: Air to Air Refuel
Section 5.1 reads “The AWACS menu is opened with the ‘a’ key”
It’s the “q” key on mine??
By the way, the re-worked training missions and documentation are AWESOME!!!
