Dear Firewill,

 

im trying to find a manual for the different I_TGT modes like CC. Do you have it?
 

i do know how GPS and DUAL work.

CG(command guidance) mode video

CG-Terminal mode video

also CG/CG-T mode only available for AGM-84E SLAM, AGM-84H/K SLAM-ER with AN/AWW-13 ADLP pod

[sgtfuzzle17 8]

@firewill are there currently any plans to make SEAD a task better suited to planes specifically designed for it/enforce any limitations on the existing quite easy implementation of it? This version of the F-16 for example was fitted with specialty equipment in place of the LANTIRN pod to enable proper SEAD operations with AGM-88s. I figure something like this would improve viability of the forthcoming Prowler you've mentioned in your Patreon posts.

HARM can be use since block 30, and some Spangdahelm Falcons(Block 30 in that time) equipped AGM-88 HARM and pair with F-4G wild weasel in late of 1980s.

 

USAF F-16CJ Block 50/52 was only variant of can equip HTS(Harm Targeting System) pod, but now days it's also available for F-16CG Block 40/42, and renamed to F-16CM for 4x/5x. 

conclusion is, there's no kind of limitation about "this falcon can use HARM?", but can be "this falcon can equip HTS?".

Are there any plans to add teh F-4 ?

 

or maybe russian planes?

[sgtfuzzle17 8]

@firewill Should have clarified; wasn't trying to say "these planes can only mount these missiles in a very specific configuration"; I'm aware they can do that. Was more asking if you would consider setting them up to require the HTS in place of a targeting pod for SEAD operations similar to the way you need the ADLP to use camera guided cruise missiles.

well, i guess I did misunderstand. in that case, still I'm thinking how to make HTS pod in current AWS inventory become usable since sensor update. probably take more years i think.

Really liking the new I-TGT system in the works; those gifs are very enlightening. Will there be any way of distinguishing which weapon stations actually release first? For example, if I load an F-16 up with 4 GPS guided bombs and want to drop them on seperate targets but they're not on sequential pylons (say, 4, 5, 7, 8), will they just release from lowest to highest numbered station? Or will there be a way to control which station drops first?

currently designing some system for "pylon edit" feature. adjusting pylon priority and mode select(like GPS, Dual) is will inside there.

new I-TGT 2.0 live-fire test

What is I-TGT 2.0?

a new I-TGT system so-called I-TGT 2.0, based on current I-TGT but many things changed and improved.

1. Changed, but familiar interface

For 5 years, the current I-TGT interface has been used by many people, including myself. New I-TGT Interface will use a familiar configuration, but it includes all new and improved features.

2. Multiple weapons for multiple targets

You can forget that I-TGT was turned off and on to designate the target to the bomb! With the new I-TGT, targets are now assigned to each pylon equipped with GPS-guided weapons, enabling them to strike different targets simultaneously.

(I tried to assign it to each bomb, but it got so complicated that I skipped it.)

3. More target locations

new system can save many, many numbers of the target location, the previous system got only 5!

4. Multi-language support

with stringtable.xml, can support multiple languages.

 

 

and new leaflet bomb function : civilian evac

Cool thanks! So what does "Thermal" do since I'm guiding the bomb like a TV Missile? Does it change screen to thermal mode? 

[jeroenV1982 1]

A wonderful addition! When does it launch on steam workshop?

Terminal or Thermal?

Terminal : will turn on Command guidance mode when missile closing in specific range from target.

Thermal : press N key when using Command guidance mode.

I-TGT 2.0 dual-mode test

 

in the new system, you can designate bombing mode to each pylon. So some bombs will use GPS mode and some bombs will use Dual-mode etc.

in this video, EGBU-12 using GPS-only mode, but GBU-54 using dual-mode so following laser target when entering terminal guidance.

[firewill 3880]

Is there a script way to add all mod rocket and bombs to vanilla CAS module? There would be a great CAS mod- for example, the player calls the CAS via I-TGT tablet  and missiles and bombs spawn from virtual planes

 

[Capt hamzanawaz 0]

Hii there

Thanks for all the  cool mods

Can we expect F35A this year ??

not in the AWS at least, but probably somewhere else.

I-TGT 2.0 Video Tutorial

English description & subtitles provided. can be add other languages.

[sammael 366]

You are a Legend

[Synchronized 49]

Do you have an equation of dropping bombs, for example

 

with a jdam you need 15k feet to reach a target at 5 km. while traveling at 600 km/h or something like that

[omri2050 197]

Hey Firewill! Great change to the I-TGT!

 

One question please cause I think I'm missing something..

I want to drop JDAM-31

DSG a location, goes to LIST, select both and I have a message that the location is saved. While dropping it, it says NO GPS LOCK (or something like that..)

 

Now I went to the EDIT and apply GPS and still same message. What am I doing wrong?
