  1. The TGT diamond should move with tgr FLIR when FLIR becomes the driving source of the designation.
  2. Alternatively, you can hold Shift, and scroll the mouse wheel to accelerate the movement of the knob.
  3. This is normal. When in CCIP or STRF modes, the TGP points at the predicted impact point.
  4. This isn't exactly true. While normal, WYPT-based coupled steering cannot be performed while a TGT designation exists (which is not exclusive to the use of a targeting pod), the Hornet's autopilot is capable of coupled steering to a TGT designation if the selected weapon provides an azimuth steering line (CPL ASL). Primarily, free-fall munitions such as the Mark 80 series general purpose bombs, Rockeye-series cluster bombs, and Paveway-series LGBs can all utilize CPL ASL.
  5. CZ should also be on the HSD:
  6. Putting that switch to the NITE position will switch the IFEI lighting to green and enable dimmer control (this is the only difference from the DAY position). NVG position does the same thing but also alters the entire cockpit lighting to green floods for the console lights.
  7. Are you talking about R/BL or BOL? Those are two completely different modes.
  8. Make sure your custom cockpit livery has this line of code: {"Pilot_F18_FP_Map", 0, "mfd3", true};
  9. Did you add the bombs into the PACS? Non-smart weapons will not self-identify to the aircraft, you need to add them manually.
  10. The problem is that you never changed the Grid Zone Designator (GZD), it's still 30N, which is the corresponding GZD for N0° E0°. The 30N GZD has no Grid Square ID for 'WV,' so it throws an error. The GZD you're looking for (assuming this is the Sinai map) is 36R. JTACs in DCS currently don't provide the GZD in their callouts.
  11. Except it's been explicitly stated that the non-JHMCS helmet is supposed to be a U.S. Navy HGU-68/P, which did not have the protrusions. But yes, the elephant ears are definitely missing. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/news/2023-09-08/
  12. To my knowledge, HGU-68/P helmets in USN service did have the elephant ears, but not the visor rest protrusions on top (these are more in-line with HGU-55/P helmets). The helmet had a fixed track for the visor, however many helmets ended up unofficially modified to retain the NVG clips while swapping to the single-bungee visor strap. Additional information and examples on helmets used in U.S. Navy service can be found here: https://www.salimbeti.com/aviation/helmets4.htm Here's some examples of the modified -68/P: Actual -68/P helmets would look more like this:
