Mirage2425 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 My understanding is that the IR pointer used to work on the TGP by pressing TMS Right short twice. It doesn't appear to be working. Has the button to access it been changed or was it removed accidently? Thanks Mirage2425 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deano87 Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Does the F-16 TGP no longer have a laser pointer visible in NVGs?

Yes, it does not have the IR pointer anymore.

What I'm referring to is the IR pointer, which is used to mark targets on the ground. This pointer can only be seen with NVG's. Does your sources say that the IR pointer isn't on the F16 when the F/A-18, which carries the same TGP, does?

I'm wondering about this as well. Maybe it's because F-16s IRL rather carry the Sniper pod than the Lightning pod and maybe the Sniper doesn't have this feature?

Mirage2425 Posted January 13, 2022 Author Share Posted January 13, 2022 Seems weird to me. One of the Vipers missions is AFAC and the IR pointer is an important tool to mark targets for aircraft not part of the Vipers D/L network. The alternative is a manual walk-on either visually or sensor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
