Cunning_Raven Posted January 4, 2023 Posted January 4, 2023 Hello there! I've been thinking about this for a while. On the top of the Eurofighter's UFC, there are five buttons and one of them says "Flir", even on the german variants. What does it do? Is it like the F15E"s nav pod?

Either that or it just has no function. I have no sources proving or disproving that its like the F-15E's nav pod. On aircraft that do have the PIRATE it is of course possible to project the IR image onto the HUD. #payrazbam #payrazbam #payrazbam

Yes the FLIR button overlays the FLIR video image to the HUD, if the FLIR is installed. If the FLIR is not installed pressing that button has no effect, that's the case in German aircraft. Btw it's not an UFC. The equivalent to the UFC is the MDEF which is located on the left glareshield.
Cunning_Raven Posted January 5, 2023 Author Posted January 5, 2023 I see, I don't know why I thought that there's an integrated FLIR haha. Thank you for the info!

Spoiler please take it with a grain of salt, i'm just some idiot on the internet #payrazbam #payrazbam #payrazbam
