[USER ERROR] Litening Pod: Missing LSS Mode

[Ziffel]

I've been trying to fly the Nevada "Training Day" mission but, I'm having problems with the Litening II Pod. After warming up and turning on the Pod, the only available push button is "LST". I've followed Chuck's guide along with other videos but, I never see the LSS mode on the flir/CCD page. I have searched the forums for a similar issue but, came up empty.

 

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated & thanks to all.

It’s been a bit since i did it but I believe you make the tpod the soi, then press uncage. You also have to make sure the correct switch position on the right panel

TL;DR:

 

LST is displayed all the time*, pressing the button starts the search, when LST is "boxed" it is tracking a laser spot.

 

Grim Reapers did a video of how it currently works :-

 

* The Spanish Litening II shows LST (not LSS), so this is likely an intended change made at the same time Lat/Long coordinates and the compass cross were added

 

 

Detail

 

Testing using an air spawn and CTLD to lase trucks on the Caucasus map.

 

• LST shows on TGP MFD.

 

• Moving the TGP cursor to the target area, and pressing the LST button, freezes the screen and LST searches for a laser with the right code.

 

• When found, the button text changes to a "boxed" LST and the TGP cross slews to the illuminated target.

 

• IIRC pressing the LSS/LST button a second time used switch back to LSS, now it unboxes LST and never displays LSS.

 

• As far as I can tell the unboxed LST button works the same as LSS, so it looks to be a display/text change.

 

Wags TGP Offset Video shows the same, with LST 1688 displayed all the time.

Add link to GR video, cross check with Spanish Litening II

LST and LSS are exactly the same thing, just different names. The Spanish call it Laser Spot Tracker, the US call it Laser Spot Search.
