LANTIRN! (RIO)


Cobra847

Recommended Posts

One of the things we're most excited about is our very simulation of the LANTIRN TGP which will be available on release!

We'll go into much more depth in a video we're currently working on, and in particular how we've recreated the LANTIRN's optical sensor and the follow on effects.

 

For now, here's a look at the accompanying panel & stick that appears if you mount the LANTIRN pod!

There are different Control bindings for the Rio and Pilot seat. The way I read it, you will just need one stick..

I will try to use my old M$ Sidewinder to control that along my X-52 pro :joystick:

 

Dont joke. I got a function sidewinder and an x45 i can use for it... :joystick:

This stick doesn't move - you only use the hatswitches :)

 

I wonder, do you have hotas control bindings set up for both positions so if you were to switch position in SP would your control set up automatically change back and forth?

Yes, the Rio Controls are seperate from the Pilot controls. If you switch from Pilot to Rio you automatically use the Rio Controll bindings.

Control binding changing as one switches between Pilot seat and RIO seat will be interesting and cool.

The LANTIRN implementation is one thing about the F14 I'm really looking forward to. From the video a while back on one of Cobra's update threads, the level of detail the devs have put into it is simply astounding.

 

Only thing I have a few concerns about is having to possibly constantly seat switch from front to back on the run up to and orbit of the target, flying while operating the LANTIRN pod at the same time and in the heat of combat! But I guess until we know more about the implementation of the controls and Jester we won't know for sure.

 

Great work HB.

My impression here is that the RIO only gets to see the LARTIRN display.

Yeah, that's what I mean. Constantly shifting from back seat while using the LANTIRN pod, to jumping into the front for a quick course correction then back to the RIO to tweak the LANTIRN again. May get a bit tedious after a while.

 

I wonder if we can tell the AI pilot to turn right 30deg or left 45deg etc from the back seat, therefore on a target run up we can just stay in the back and operate the weapons while the AI driver (pilot :D) takes us in.

 

Ah well, pointless speculating at this time, we will all find out in two weeks :D

But isn’t that what Jester and Iceman are for?

 

You choose what seat you’re gonna use and the AI takes the other. I don’t think it’s designed for you to keep jumping from seat to seat, would as you state make things very complicated.

No. The pilot can see it on the VDI. HB even had a screenshot of it around Christmas tracking Santa Claus over a carrier.
Great. No point jumping to the RIO seat to watch the lantirn in use.

Im interestet how Jester work with the Lantirn. I think spotting a camouflaged tank near the tree line would be hard for an AI. Or maybe its just me. I really sucked to find targetns in the A10C

 

When there was no direct waypoint marker at the garget and the target was maeked with red smoke bombs, i really got trluble to find them.

 

Having Hester calling me targets abd give me a Mark on the HUD would be really great. :D
