Thanks. Later on I'll create guide for CBU and HD. No idea when that will happen...

Fantastic quick start guide.
Well done and very useful.

Only bit I would add is for GBU 38 you do need to hold down the pickle button till it drops (stores box goes white) else you risk a hung store and a useless bomb. A quick press won't do.
(Basically the targetting data transfer is a one time process on the A-10C, so if you don't hold pickle till it finishes the data transfer and drops it gets stuck and can't be reset in flight so becomes hung).

It seems there are some changes from beta to release. I'll have to revise this...

GBU12 and GBU38 is revised. Also added keyboard commands for folks without HOTAS

How to enter GRS coordinates into CDU so that TGP can look at it.


So here's a quick example. Let's assume JTAC gives you coordinate "MM336626"

Switch to CDU screen.
Click following button to switch to GRS



Then using a keyboard enter "MM336626"



Then click this OBS



Enter a name for that point.



Click that button



Now switch knob from FLT PlAN to MISSION



Then press STEER + to desired waypoint (what ever you named it).





And now simply slew TGP to that area by pressing "CHINA HAT AFT LONG"


Now your TGP is looking to GRS coordinates.

Tnx Sim! Great job.

Great tutorial, thanks!

Sounds simple but I cant seem to get it. I followed Warrior's procedures but must be missing something. I used the CDU repeater function so I can enter on right MFD. After I input coordinates and press OBS 16 nothing happens. So the scratch pad still has the coordinates I entered therefore I cant enter a way-point name? What am I missing?

So what part of my picture guide are you stuck? I don't recall using any repeater function....
