Never going to happen in DCS but here's a RIO playing Star Wars on the PTID

[DSplayer]

A F-14 RIO plays a Star Wars N64 game on his PTID with a N64 controller.

 

Spoiler

Heatblur when? /s

Also, I assume the PTID has a video input which I find pretty weird.

They also were watching Top Gun and some NSFW videos too.

I find that extremely hard to believe . . . . 
 

You only see the ‘cockpit’ when playing his game, you don’t see anything else. Could be a facsimile in a well lit garage . . . .

It doesn't seem that outlandish that the PTID would have a video input? How else would it get a feed from the TCS or the LANTIRN? Or for that matter just rendering the regular TID displays.

Oh it would have a few input points for sure . . . They would be on the rear of the unit however.
Only beeps’n’tweeks should have access to that.

The magic of editing, they dont show us the avionics tech hanging on the RIO ladder holding the N64 with a very long cable going into the nose....

Is a “Beep’n’tweeks” the same thing as a “Boffin”?  Love British vernacular.

 

F4 drivers replacing every “F” with “Ph” is a different matter…

Avionics tech - beeps’n’tweeks. 

 

And that last bit is ph*#€ing slanderous . . .

Heatblur N64 emulator... when?

We already have asteroids. Isn't that enough?

im pretty sure it would be internal to get at it

That’s ROVER. 
The RIO is watching an image transfer, so sadly he isn’t playing.

The nsfw part reminded me about the legendary Swedish anti uboat surveillance system. They put extremely good cameras with long range zoom capabilities to monitor their coastline and video tape anything suspicious. 
Right next to and overlooking some of the best beaches in Sweden.
Then they asked 19-20 year old boys to run the system. 
 

With predictable results.
