I was in PRE. Slewed the TGP, after coming out of Snowplow, to the target and TMS Up for Point Track. It was on from there.
Good luck

Thanks! I dont think I was in snowplow.
Got it to work! I need some practice in SP mode, One thing I noticed was my ASL never lined up with the target area, it was always off to the left of the HUD. I disregarded the ASL and lined the box up center in my HUD and dropped, All 4 bombs hit were I wanted them too.

You can also designate a new SPI when having the JDAMS in PRE, slew away from the current steer point and do TMS up long. That will designate a new SPI which you can use to release on.

Yep figured that one out today! Also figured out my ASL issues too. Apparently if you do the full align you have to enter the coordinates in the DED even though they are already there. So stored align for me from now on.
The viper is quickly becoming a favorite of mine again.

Dear all,
A little update on HARM loading. After being provided ample evidence from those in the know, we have adjusted loading of the AGM-88. Whilst it will still be possible to load HARMs on the four stations, HARMs loaded on STA 4 and 6 will have no umbilical connection, and thus no communication with the MC. As such, you are fee to carry them, as indicated in some images and a loading chart, but they cannot be employed.
We expect this to be in a July 2021 update. Also for July, you can expect the AGM-154A, CBU-103, and CBU-105.
Kind regards,
Wags
Weāre about to lose half our HARMs. Painful but probably more realistic. Bring more friends! Weāll get JSOW and WCMD to make up for it

I havenāt used that loadout once. You always need the bags anyway or the only SAM you make it to is your own.

I used it for a bit with a centerline, hitting tankers as needed. But once all the equipment is in place there will be a jammer on the centerline anyway. Then we need those 2 bagslots.

Soā¦ the cluster ariant is the only one the USAF uses, while the UN outlawed all cluster munitions. Guess international law only stands for the small ones.

As with any UN convention, it is up to the the member states to sign and ratify it, or not.
A convention is not legally binding unless it is ratified by the member state.
But why a UN member state declines to sign and ratify a convention quickly becomes political.

In my previous life I would have probably responded vehemently and defensively to @schurem 's comment, implying that the US can ignore recognized international authority.
However now, as a applicant for citizenship of one of the āsmall onesā, I can only say, āHere! Here! Right on!ā I aggree 100% with Shurem. 
That said, in DCS World, JSOWs from the Viper are pretty effective against a line of aircraft on a ramp and similar target sets.

Wags pretty much told us theyāre intended for destruction of enemy air defences. I havenāt dropped any so far, stand off weapons are boring 
So how are you doing @Hangar200 ? Enjoying being an European?
Technically, currently Iām a āScandinavian Wannabeā, but yeah, life is great. Much happier and much safer. Just ending 24 hours of sunshine up here. enjoying a nice cool summer.

In a benign threat environment, that is true. However, imagine launching a JSOW at a target inside a SA-10 MEZ. There is no way you will be able to saunter in at 20K and not get bagged. SA-10 range > JSOW range. So a little nap-of-the-earth, terrain masking flying is in order - fast and low then zoom skyward to launch the JSOW. The RWR is screaming as you pop chaff, and pull into a 0-doppler diving turn to get back behind the hills! Gosh, that was exciting just describing it!

RoadMap for Viper
Dear Viper Pilots,
Thank you for participation in DCS: F-16C Viper Roadmap features poll. We received more than 9,500 responses. DCS: F-16C Viper development is again at an accelerated pace. We focused on bug fixing in the first half of 2021, and while we will continue bug fixing, we will now also be adding new features.
Our roadmap, which is heavily influenced by your voting, will cover from now and until the end of 2021.
The list of delivered features this year includes:
- AGM-65D/G/H/K Maverick
- AGM-88C HARM POS and HAS Modes
- GBU-31 and GBU-38 JDAM
- AGM-154A JSOW
- BRU-57/A Smart Rack
- VV/VAH HUD Option
- Travel Pod
The planned poll features to be delivered by the end of 2021 for DCS: F-16C Viper includes:
- Flight model and FLCS tuning. This focuses on angle of attack and G, and we believe it will result in more accurate sustained turn performance, instantaneous turn performance, and acceleration.
- HARM Targeting System (HTS) pod and HARM Attack Display (HAD).
- Air-to-Air Radar improvements: DTT SAM mode, bullseye, and intercept steering cue.
- Landing and takeoff handling tuning.
- JHMCS support for the Radar Warning Receiver, Link 16, and Air-to-Ground mode.
- Electronic Countermeasures: ALQ-131 / ALQ-184 ECM pods and FCR jamming indications.
- Air-to-Ground Radar: Ground Map, Expand, DBS modes, Fixed Target Track, Ground Moving Target, Snowplow, Sea, and AGR modes.
- Semiautomatic and Automatic Countermeasures Programs.
- Mark Points.
- HOTAS Steerpoint Selection.
- Lat / Long and MGRS Coordinate Selection.
- CBU-103 and CBU-105 WCMD.
- Horizontal Situation Display (HSD) cursor.
Further development will continue into 2022 with the following list of planned poll features:
- Complete Lightening Targeting Pod. This mostly consists of correct offset logic and improving display clarity.
- Sniper XR Targeting Pod.
- Date Transfer Cartridge (DTC) and Mission Planner.
- ICP Modes: CRUS, TIME, FIX, ACAL, DEST, and BULL DED pages. Of these, CRUS will be the highest priority.
- RWR Handoff PRF Tones.
- HUD Toss Anticipation Cue.
- Desired HUD Airspeed Caret for CRUS mode.
- GBU-24 Paveway III.
- Remaining Bombing Modes: DTOS, MAN, and LADD. DTOS being the highest priority.
- Mk-84AIR.
- Wing Fuel Tank Pylon Jettison Correction.
- ALE-50 Towed Decoy.
- FCS BIT Animations.
- BDU-50 Training Bomb.
- Jet Fuel Starter (JFS) Door Animation.
- Alternative Landing Gear Handle.
- Cockpit View Pilot Model.
- Animated Tail Hook.
- Air Show Smoke Pods.
- ACM Slew Mode.
- Radar Velocity Search Mode.
Please note that both the 2021 and 2022 lists may not be delivered in the listed order. These are our current plans as of July 2021, and they are subject to change. There are many more items that we will be addressing, but this list is confined to poll items.
Some features require a lot of effort and time, like HTS/HAD and AG radar, while the others are not as complex and can be completed sooner. Weāll start with the most important ranked by you, that are also feasible for us, and then continue to bring you more and more DCS: F-16C Viper functionality.
It is also important to remember that all features of our Viper are in regards to a United States F-16CM Block 50, roughly M4.2+, operated in the 2007 time frame.
Sincerely,
Wags and the Eagle Dynamics Team

Dear all,
In an upcoming update, we will be introducing a Payload Restriction option in the Mission Editor. This will allow mission designers to restrict weapons to specific stations for both single- and multi-player missions.
I am posting this here as we hope this will be a good solution for āHARMgateā. Based on further research, it comes down to a āit dependsā situation. While some Viper units have had their HARM shooters wired for STA 4 and 6, other did not. This explains the conflicting SME feedback and mass-consternation and confusion. With the addition of the Payload Restriction option, weāll let you decide.
Kind regards,
Wags
