How to reset FLIR View?

[j9murphy]

Is there some easy way to bring the flir view on the targeting pod back into its default slave position to the HUD after designating and firing on a target? when is set undesignate and return the SOI back to the HUD the flir just keeps pointing to original target and I can slew but i'd like to return to the forward looking hud slave view.

Press Cage/uncage?

@razo+r that didn't seem to do anything when I tried yesterday, I'll recheck the key binding. where should the SOI be when you do that?

You should have TDC Priority set to the FLIR page (make the TGP SOI, in other words). Then, the cage/uncage button on the throttle will cage the TGP. Otherwise, you can just undesignate your target and the TGP is also return to its boresight (slightly depressed). If you want to aim it using the velocity vector, use the VVSL option.

Just found out this is an open beta feature only which is why I wasn't seeing it.

Ah, OK. The cage/uncage button should still work though, as long as the TDC is on the FLIR page.
