Lancel Posted August 11, 2019 Share Posted August 11, 2019 The F/A-18C will ultimately have two flavors of targeting pod, the LITENING and the ATFLIR, with LITENING just being the first one implemented. Not sure if the LITENING can be cheek mounted? Unsure though. I know it's typically centerlined IRL. ATFLIR, the second targeting pod, is planned and will be cheek mountable definitely.

Kev2go Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 If that's the case why would a former USMC Hornet pilot say otherwise? Wasn't it ultimately discredited that the USMC never used pod adaptors for cheek stations for thier Litening 2? only foreign users doing so like SPain for EG? Some responses that clarified the situation from a former USMC pilot. https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3951701&postcount=29 https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3952636&postcount=33 Thats this guy https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/21790/f-a-18-pilot-gives-incredibly-detailed-instructions-on-how-to-actually-land-on-a-carrier SO question being in spite of objections from an actual pilot, why IS ED still going ahead and adding an apparently non appropriate feature for the year and military branches ( USN/USMC circa 2005 ) of a given Hornet version they are simulating?

Wizard_03 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 (edited) Makes sense, I don’t understand why everyone wants this feature. ATFLIR is the better pod and only mounts on 4. So either way you’ll get a lpod on either 4 or 5. Don’t know where the fascination with LITENING specifically on 4 comes from.

Actually when ATFLIR becomes available I would mount it on the center if its possible because I don't wanna lose one AIM-120. Most of missions in MP don't require you to stay long in the air and I never feel the need to do some AAR. Better fuel management is all you need. Mastering others is strength.

I don't think anyone cares specifically about the LITENING going on a cheek, but for me the ability to put a pod on a cheek, even though not 100% accurate, opens up the ability to fly double ugly carrier ops with a loadout that's much closer to common real-world loads. Using the LITENING is just a stop-gap while waiting on the ATFLIR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha No not at all, not for the Hornet we are modelling, but this is being done as a gameplay option, and the ability to emulate other nations. You dont have to use it if you dont want, its simply an option.

Swift. Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 USMC Hornets have and probably still do use litening on the cheek, although it may be a feature added after our year of Hornet.

The real benefit for station 4 is that you can use the pod in counter air missions for visual IDs, AND carry a centerline tank at the same time. Which is important because the hornet has short legs.

So why the community pressure ed into forcing litening 2 on such a station instead of waiting for the atflir which so is to be mounted on cheek station 4, by the usn and usmc? It was always a matter of when rather than if for a tgp option for station 4 considering the atflir was always going to be a thing. Are people so impatient to a tgp on cheek asap? We should be happy that we have a tgp to begin with, and even then I am much more anticipating tgp functionality such as working with HUD and jhmcs and auto lasing.

No telling when we'll get ATFLIR . In fact , i think ED's reversal may be an indication that that ATFLIR may yet be quite some way out . I'm also looking forward to the HUD interface . I move mud in VR , so the targeting pod is a godsend ,, and the more functionality ED brings to them , the better . 9700k @ stock , Aorus Pro Z390 wifi , 32gb 3200 mhz CL16 , 1tb EVO 970 , MSI RX 6800XT Gaming X TRIO , Seasonic Prime 850w Gold , Coolermaster H500m , Noctua NH-D15S , CH Pro throttle and T50CM2/WarBrD base on Foxxmounts , CH pedals , Reverb G2v2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief among them is: it’s rated for CATOBAR operations. LITENING is not. DCS F/A-18C :sorcerer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
