Data Cartridge
-
I have just started to save coordinates to data cartridge on missions Can someone advise the proper procedure? I’ve noticed thT if I move the target steer point to a building etc to conduct a JDAM attack etc. the. Next mission my attack steer point will be off by miles. I think the coordinates are being corrupted. The first time I did this it worked great. I am hitting load and then save for data cartridge in the briefing recon screen.
Thanks,

GunIn the DTC in 2D, go to the steerpoint you want to clear from target and push “Reset”.
Or in the recon screen in 2D, push “Clear all”. -
Copy that! Thanks for the help. I’ll try that in a few minutes.
Thanks,

Gun, don’t assign targets to your waypoint steerpoints . Use the target free points available in the recon screen. Click the clear all button on recon and begin assigning new targets for that particular flight… open the dtc after closing the recon screen and save… by clicking load, you are bringing in pervious stuff… rinse and repeat for your next flight

Copy that! That sounds like my issue. So just so I understand, I should assign my targets to an unused steerpoint (ie 15, 16 ) then open DTC and hit save? Will this also clear up my other issue. Namely all of my setting in my Data Card gets wiped and I have to reprogram them. This just started as I tried to save target to the target steer point such as 7 usually.
Thanks for your help Q. S.

Yeah, the only button I’ve ever hit in the DTC is the save… set up your EWS and MFDs and save that…Now they will stay put… in the recon, set targets like you said 15, 20, etc … after the mission, and planning the next, go to recon and clear all… that will wipe your targets… plan some new ones…save DTC … vicious cycle LOL. Every time I move the Bulls or PPTs I save the DTC to update. Hope this gets you sorted

Hi Quasi Stellar,
Your info was spot on, I am back in business again. Thank you much. Falcon BMS is a great game, but it is the community support that really puts it over the top! You might have to drop the “Quasi.” LOLThank you,

Nah, I’m a fake-ass fighter pilot, so I’ll continue being a fake-ass star as well

What is the best way to trim the jet after you drop one bomb and your left wing wants to raise up etc?
Gun -
Drop in pairs, or use the trim control on your joystick or (if you don’t have it on your stick) the back-left console.

Thanks Wizard. Dropping in pairs helps a lot.
