salsantana Posted May 23, 2020 Posted May 23, 2020 Hoping all are well, eluding the CoVid nightmare. In F/A-18C, when I'm seeking a target on FLIR, I wish I could see in HUD simultaneously the motion of the targeting cursor...... forgive the noobness of this inquiry. When I'm slewing in Litening pod I keep wishing I could see the aimpoint also moving in sync, in the HUD. The look-down view in Litening that shows the azimuth of the aimpoint is somewhat helpful. Slewing while holding target designator is probably as helpful but it seems it's "either or"; only one sensor can be aimed at a time? MY first guess is I'll need a much better understanding of slaving sensors..... I'm pretty sure I've seen in A-10C this ability, and in most cases modern aircraft share technologies, but differing mostly in terminology. thanks in advance, be well all.
SFAL Posted May 23, 2020 Posted May 23, 2020 What you are missing is to select A/G mode on. The targeting pod works in Nav mode as well but you cant see the targeting symbogy. It is also worth to create waypoints/point of interest and in A/G mode on the HSI after selecting the waypoint/POI press wpdsg. That will slew the pod to the coordinates that has been entered.
