I have markpoint bound to my controller. You can be in any mode doing anything and if you see something I press markpoint then make hud soi. Look at what you want then TMS up and there you have a the location and a wpt set to that point, plus your Tpod will also be looking at the location.

100% agree, have a special feature turn align off or add this as a standard to all ED modules. Why the hornet being a ED module doesn’t share the same requirements to align MAV’s or have the same level of error in the GBU-38 is odd. Items like these should be across all ED modules to maintain a standard.

@Wags does ED know if the Lantirn will be a 2000 upgrade or 2000+ version?

however this has got a little off track, as this post wasn't meant to be about the TGP but just to see if there was a standard between the modules which you have answered. however, one last question for you @NineLine is the plan to implement the 2000+ version of the Lantrin? if it is it sounds like there will be next to no difference between the image and zoom quality anyway. the 2000 upgrade A quantum well, third-generation FliR sensor; A 40,000-foot altitude, diode-pumped laser; A more compact, more powerful computer system. 2000+ upgrade A laser spot tracker to improve target identification and limit collateral damage. A digital disk recorder for battle damage assessment and reconnaissance mission support; An automatic target recognition system to reduce pilot workload by classifying high-priority targets; A TV sensor, which has been successfully tested and flown, provides added capability around the clock.

Open-source information and through the help with USAF members in the community about the Lantirn is that they tested the Lantirn on the F-16B’s, once approved the F-16C squadrons being blk30/32 40/42 used the Lantirn in the USAF in that time period. There was also a difference between the blk 40's and 42's also, one only carried half the system while the other got the full system mostly due to the war HUD from my understanding. A F-16 engineer for blk 50 said they did not use Lantirns because they mostly had the SEAD role and only used more capable TGP’s, earlier days with litening being lighter and cheaper for SEAD missions which integrated better with the HTS (not one person can speak for all squadrons tho, I’ll give you that), in the end they flew almost exclusively with sniper pods. Creek blk 50’s used the Lantirn unless ED is talking about the Lantirn ER but I know nothing about it, there was a training unit that used the Lantirn in the USAF I have a very lost memory they were blk 50’s but I wouldn’t expect that to be an indication on standard equipment. I 100% am aware I am not a reliable source for information here but I cannot find anywhere that blk 50's in the USAF frontline squadrons used the Lantirn. As do the members in “the viper crew” community helping me out here which is run entirely of F-16 pilots, F-16 ground staff and engineers. I also found through my travels that the litening was mostly integrated with a Common Configuration Implementation Program (CCIP) which quoted by the program development officer all F-16C blk 50's had commenced their transition in 2002 which also included the full integration of the sniper XR targeting pod, F-16.net - The ultimate F-16, F-22, F-35 reference. someone smarter than me could expand more on this.

Yes I meant to say something along those lines. Just slipped through my bad

I think this needs to be addressed. It seems the F-16 requires more documentation/evidence to implement stuff than other ED modules. With the recent news of the F-16’s litening being removed for the Lantirn due to lack of evidence, JDAM’s having an impact error zone that just isn’t being implemented right but will do one day I guess, MAV’s having to be bore-sighted and so on and so on, the list is bigger. yet none of these items are implemented on other ED modules and in fact ED said they do not have the required documentation to to properly implement MAV’s on the F-18 such as bore-sighting so why are MAV’s not being removed from the hornet for the same reason the litening TGP is being removed for the viper? in the end implement whatever realism you want but just have a standard between the modules.

Lol talk about purposely missing the point. where did @VpR81 say it MUST be $1. They wrote ”In theory, they could sell each copy for $1.” If you read the whole thing it has a non mistaken context to it, either you agree with it or not is another point. However not once did they say it must be free or $1. No need to be offended for your own reason anymore.

Yeah i put 4 inglas in one huey and zero damage, one even got a direct hit on the tail rotor and still nothing at all was damaged.

They are making a updated version of the Z-axis just don’t know when it will be out but they confirmed it will be more expensive

Is there information or a update for this being added? It doesn’t seem to be a Wishlist thing to be honest, if it’s how the radar is meant to work with the information being a available it seems like a fairly important feature to not implement.

They are linked because they control the same thing, however the trim wheel I believe allows you to more fine tune the trim.

Ok thanks for the info

As soon as you press TMS forward it instantly shows NO RAD. I’m not having any luck locking in this mode either. It does seem as soon as TMS forward is pressed the Radar is set to quiet mode or similar effect. I will post a trk later today but the Devs will easily replicate this.

I’m not sure if this has changed sense the update or I’m doing something wrong, however when I lock a target the laser on I press DLink target and send mem. I target reset then press DLink target vehicle 1 and the yellow DLink ingress then uncage. This never goes back to the target I have selected, it always goes somewhere else. I watched a lot of tutorials to see what I’m doing wrong and can’t figure it out. I used to be able to do this all the time but for the life of me I can’t get it to work sense the last update. Thoughts? Or is this a bug? edit: I worked out when doing this it will always slew the camera about a mile to the right of the target. Weird!!!
