JDAM-JSOW TRAINING FOR JANES F/A-18 Original:January 30, 2000 Updated: February 12, 2000 Bob Tullman (bobtull@interactive.net) (Updates include only this readme file. No updates to the actual mission were made) Thank you for trying my training missions for Janes F/A-18. Feedback is welcome! A) Basics Extract the GPSTrain.lot file in Resource directory. Extract the JDAM-JSOW_training.cmf file into either the MISSION subdirectory of your FA-18 directory or the TRAINING subdirectory. In the former case, you would select it from the menu on the SINGLE MISSIONS page. In the latter case, you would find it on the menu from the TRAINING page. B) Mission Issues I didn't go into excruciating detail about the zoom modes of the FLIR, figuring most folks have flown the other training missions already. The ingress route for the JDAM TOO puts an electrical tower in the way of the commanded Target of Opportunity. If the Player has checked out the TARGETTING screen, it will be obvious what target to go for, but its possible that the WRONG target may be designated. No downside except the .wav won't trigger. The GBU-29 warhead is big enough, I think it will take out the target if its anywhere close! 1)TIMING of VOICEOVER - I have tried to time the voiceovers so they are close enough together so you don't get bored :-). However, sometimes they are TOO close for you to follow the directions. Most of the pertinent info is in text that can be recovered with CNTRL M. Timing was tricky for getting the prompt for JDAM to happen AFTER the JSOW was fired, but leaving enough time for the player's switchology. Let me know if it works this way or not.
