Rongor Posted July 9, 2021 Posted July 9, 2021 Whenever I put my FLIR page up for the first time after getting airborne, I sort of have to try out all the buttons until it finally leaves the stow position. No, I am not in the cool down / time out phase and there is also no masking. It's stowed. And I can't find a way to simply unstow it to some kind of caged or bore sight position, coming from the stow position. It only gets lured out by being slaved to a designation of the radar, after this, I can retake command over the FLIR. Also is there a way to intentionally stow? ALso, is there a way to unslave the Litening from radar? Whenever I have found something nice in the TGP in the vicinity of my radar lock. I sometimes don't need the radar lock anymore, so I undesignate. Then, not only the radar undesignates, but the FLIR also returns into bore sight. Not funny.

Press undesignate twice to initially unstow and align with velocity vector, another 2 presses puts it into snowplow mode. Use 2 presses of undesignate to cycle between VV and snowplow modes.

As I study a manual I have to write down the functions I'm going to need with description and the appropriate Hotas button. Then I assign the buttons in DCS and as I do I note them on a simple wartog hotas template which I use as a kneeboard page. It's the only way to cement them in my aging memory !

Yeah, did so back then 10 years ago with the A10C and despite year long breaks, I still know all the stuff (well, most of it)
