Ok, question time.

 

With the DMT, TPOD, and all the other sensors onboard the aircraft seemingly not integrated to such a degree as the A-10, what is the process for finding, designating, and attacking a target with a JDAM or Paveway for example? I am confused how the TPOD integrates with the rest of the avionics

Wait, did i miss something? I would expect avionics to be modeled to DCS-module level. How do you know that sensors are not fully modeled and integrated - that would be a huge downside…

He is not talking about the module quality, but the aircrafg itself.

 

Some pages ago on this thread Prowler went into details about how the targeting worked. It was something along the lines of: Find a target with the TPOD to get target location and then use the onboard systems to slew to said location to actually designate the target for weapons release.

 

In contrast you can simply find and designate your target in the A-10C through you Targetting pod, hence the word "integrated".

 

 

Go find Prowlers posts on the subject for more clarification. I'm on mobile so it is rather cumbersome for me to search... sorry

I'm asking about the workflow for the pilot, the Harrier's systems have been described earlier in the thread as more advanced than the A-10Cs, and a whole lot different. All of these complex targeting systems will be faithfully reproduced, which is what I am asking about since operating the Harrier in combat will be a whole different ballgame to the A-10

I'm torn.

 

I was going to hold out on this in hope Razbam can get some more info and do a Gr.7.

 

But when I see videos like this, I can't help but think I'm going to just get the AV-8B because I know I'm going to enjoy it.

 

As a Brit I am a die hard Gr. fan, but equally I plan on buying any and all Harrier versions Razbam releases because...well...its a Harrier! :thumbup:

I don't think so, and I don't remember reading this.

 

The AV-8B Harrier II is a late 80' early 90' upgraded through the years.

Generally these kind of upgrades improve capacities in some key areas, but newer systems aren't always perfectly integrated into weapon system.

In terms of the DMT I'd consider that to be hugely more advanced than the A-10C, assuming no TGP can be used. However that wasn't really my point, what I was asking was what the process for designating and engaging a target with these advanced, albeit barely integrated systems
