CCIP symbology will always switch to AUTO when a TGT designation exists, this is by design.

George currently does not have a way to scan for targets on his own.

George will stop firing once he reaches the burst limit or the target is destroyed in the middle of a burst. You can use a longer burst count or command him to fire again (there's a keybind for it in the AI Helper controls).

Callsign of the user that's donating the contact to the network. ED = Enfield CK = Check (available on F/A-18) SE = Snake (available on F/A-18) F-16s can change their alphanumeric callsign from page 2 in the DLNK menu.

ASE -> UTIL and ensure RLWR is enabled.

First-detent enables a range-only laser pulse as opposed to a continuous designation lase.

Ensure the ADF switch is returned to the center position before re-enabling squelch.

Ensure the pod becomes the driving source of the TGT designation with TDC Depress.

Part of the "problem" is that the AI doesn't use the force trim when flying from the back seat, so when the player takes control, the cyclic and pedals reset to center positions. Personally, I turned off the automatic handover in the Special options so that I could freely switch between seats without having to worry about it, however I still have to fly the helicopter manually unless I command the handover. If you choose to allow the AI to take the controls, just be prepared to adjust your own controls quickly when taking command back.

Make sure you also include the grid zone designator.

If the indication is for the D model, then it's only applicable to the D model. The beginning of the manual states that anything coded with [D] is only for F-16D aircraft. Anything applicable to both C and D will have no code.

Did you align the HMD?

Using the DTC would only apply to PP targets. You can still designate a waypoint with TOO.

That filter is specific to RWR contacts, not PPLI symbology.

Can only be done via the UFC.

Antenna elevation isn't tied to the bar scan setting. Bar scan only changes the vertical coverage of the scan volume, but doesn't control the elevation of the scan volume center. The attached numbers to the TDC represent the upper and lower altitude the scan volume covers at the range where the TDC is present on the scope. Using the antenna elevation control on the throttle allows the pilot to steer the center of the scan volume up and down relative to the aircraft's horizon. You can use the AZ/EL page in A/A Master Mode (can be invoked on the left DDI with Sensor Control Switch Left if the left DDI doesn't have a page that can have the TDC assigned to it) to have a forward-looking radar scope that shows the scan volume FOV.

The UPDT option is used for correcting INS positional drift, analogous to the FIX options in the F-16 (only available if the position-keeping mode is not POS/AINS).

4-HARM F-16 was squadron-dependent. Some had aircraft with an additional plug in the wiring harness to allow data/video transfer for the inboard stations. Changing laser codes from the cockpit in the Hornet is a stop-gap until the codes can be set on the rearm panel (same could be said for the A-10).

Already reported:

The AN/AAR-50 was the Thermal Imaging Navigation Set, not Nite Hawk. The AN/ASQ-173 was purely a laser spot tracking pod (basically the Navy's version of the Pave Penny pod used the A-10). The baseline AN/AAS-38 was indeed only a FLIR camera for targeting. The -38A added a laser designator, but still had no laser spot detection capability, so Hornets would still use Nite Hawks combined with -173s until the -38B, which added LST. The original idea of ATFLIR was to combine all three pods into one. Fun fact: Nite Hawk and TINS pods that were modified for carriage on the Super Hornet were re-labeled as AN/AAS-46 and AN/AAR-55, respectively.

If the INS is not yet aligned, the map defaults to the terrain's (0,0) coordinates, which for Caucasus is the middle of Crimea.

Already reported (affects the F-16 as well):

Here's the manufacturer's product page for their second version of it: https://electronics.leonardo.com/en/products/loam-v2, you can check the brochure for more details.
