Guide to Use GPS Guided Bombs

Step 1 GPS MFD

The point is to get the GPS targets into the computer so that the bombs know where to fall.

Select GPS on one of the MFDs

Then press “New Group”

There are now two options, how to get GPS coordinates of targets here. TGP and NAV

Step 2a: Obtaining Coordinates via TGP

Press TGP on your second MFD

Then use SOI and zoom to find your targets. Choose one. And when point lights up next to him. (It means you are aiming exactly at the target.) Press GPS-S. This will save the coordinates for the bombs.

Repeat this for all targets in the group that you want to destroy.

Step 2b: Obtaining Coordinates via NAV

Press NAV on your second MFD

Then use SOI and zoom to find your targets. Choose one. Press GPS-S. This will save the coordinates for the bombs.

Repeat this for all targets in the group that you want to destroy.

Step 3: Get Into Firing Position

Now that you unlock the weapons. Two circles and a tiny arrow will appear on the HUD. The small arrow points in the direction of the target. If it’s up, it means you’re flying right. And all you have to do is gain height and speed.

Now all you have to do is wait for the diamonds with the dot to appear on the HUD and they will fit into that inner circle. (The inner circle is the precision hit zone. The outer circle indicates only the probable hit).

Step 4: Press the Trigger

Now depending on the bombs you use, I’ll talk about the basic settings. If you are using GBU-39 it is easier. Just press and hold the trigger button until the green line on your GPS MFD goes through all the lines. This means that you have sprinkled all the targets.
