tflash Posted October 15, 2021 Posted October 15, 2021 Do I understand it right that when you activate LST it switches to the DMT? So the Litening pod is in the Harrier not capable of LST functionality? That would be utterly strange, it would mean the radar-equipped Harrier, which doesn't have the DMT, cannot laser track? It was my understanding that the DMT was no longer used when they installed the TPOD? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Marsvinet Posted October 15, 2021 Posted October 15, 2021 (edited) The AV-8B has two ways to perform LST. Either through the DMT, which is reached by pressing sensor select down. This much you know. The second way is via the Litening. This is done via the OSBs when the TPOD is active on a screen, or via the sensor select... I want to say left long(?) when the TPOD is selected sensor. It has been a while since I flew with a TPOD, but you can activate it via the HOTAS, you just need to already be controlling the TPOD. Edited October 15, 2021 by Marsvinet 1
Wisky Posted October 16, 2021 Posted October 16, 2021 sss left long while in hotas mode is correct. but you also need to designate a area track somewhere in the area the laser spot is going to be, so the tpod knows where to search
tflash Posted October 16, 2021 Author Posted October 16, 2021 Ah OK I will try that, I think I didn't have an Area track running. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
