Wishlist Item: TPOD to stay warmed up/FLIR available after rearm.


Recommended Posts

Hello Zeus!

 

I would think it would be great, if you return from a sortie and rearm your Harrier, that you do not receive a brand new TPod which needs to be warmed up again for 8 minutes to get FLIR view. In my head it would make perfect sense to have FLIR available after rearm. It would be very much appreciated if this was somehow possible :)

 

thanks!

I'll have to check on that one.

 

All power is removed to the TPOD as soon as the generators shutdown. It should cool down. How fast? I will find out.

If too fast, then no dice. If the cool down is slow. I will reduce the warm-up period.

I think he's talking about doing a hot rearm (i.e. without shutting down) - I think currently it basically gives you a new TPOD, so it has to do the warm-ups all over again.

yes exactly that!

I think the only catch here is that technically the harrier IRL can’t do hot rearm...but please correct me if I am wrong.

 

I think the only things in DCS that should be able to hot rearm IRL are the helos and A10c. I’m not aware of any others that should be capable of this but welcome anyone to correct me on these points.
