Hulkbust44 Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 So ED, which is it going to be for our ATFLIR? Right now we have neither, but one or the other should exist. NAVFLIR was a function of the ATFLIR mount + aircraft systems that was functional for a short while, but was replaced/removed in favor of NVGs. IIRC at the same time the ATFLIR platform was upgraded to host an IR maker capability. Are either of these features planned, or will or ATFLIR be stuck in limbo?

key_stroked Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Resurrecting this thread because I've done extensive searching and haven't seen anything talked about NAVFLIR functionality for the hornet by ED since this post was made. ED, can we please get an update on the features our ATFLIR pod are supposed to have? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hulkbust44 Posted February 23, 2023 Author Share Posted February 23, 2023 @BIGNEWY Do you just need a reference for the IR marker? NFLIR Hardware in built into the pylon it's just a question of it it would be connected and activated or not. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for an IR Pointer, we have no public reference documentation of this. If you do have public data please DM me thank you Forum rules - DCS Crashing?

Fman95 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Here is a public document show that the NAVFLIR was implemented on the F/A-18C/D starting in 1989. The Navy did stop using them in 2002 according to this as well but the functionality remained. Would be nice to have the functionality. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudqocn Posted Wednesday at 08:23 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 08:23 AM (edited) I previously read a post in Reddit that the NAVFLIR was added to the C type of the F18 in the 90s (or 80s). If this is true, I hope the navflir feature is added to Hornet. It was very useful on the Harrier. Edited Wednesday at 11:29 AM by dudqocn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Hoss Posted Thursday at 12:54 AM Share Posted Thursday at 12:54 AM If I'm not wrong about the year, the NAVFLIR started being replaced by the ATFLIR around 2003. Sempre Fortis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wizard_03 Posted Thursday at 02:22 AM Share Posted Thursday at 02:22 AM 30 minutes ago, Nealius said: ATFLIR can do HUD-projected FLIR? It could when the pods were new, however NVGs came around the same time and they made it obsolete pretty much out of the box. Fleet hornet pilots never trained on it and the controls for it most aircrews have never touched in their whole careers. The little green window on the pylon above the pod itself is where the feed comes from. Idk if they could even been turned on and work properly during the scope of the DCS hornet (in the mid 2000s) as that equipment was not maintained by ground crews either. Not sure about the legacy pods from way back when but for atflir the navflir functionality pretty much wasn't used at all as NVGs do the job a thousand times better. And USN is the only atflir operator. AFAIK ED has no plans do to the older pods. 1 DCS F/A-18C :sorcerer: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
