jungleboy123 Posted June 2, 2023 Posted June 2, 2023 Hi, So i use the HSI to select the waypoint and turn this to a TGT. It then slews the TPOD and designates the waypoint/target in the TPOD window. Now the issue i have is how the hell do i hide the waypoint, as now its sitting in front of my target in the TPOD view and i cant see them.... Looked everywhere to find out how to resolve it, but no joy Thanks.

I have been decluttering for a long time (almost immediately after it warms up) and I never seem to have a problem with wpt blocking my view. Edited June 2, 2023 by MarkyMark

Annoying otherwise!

Big waypoint right on top of my target.... ahhh
MarkyMark Posted June 7, 2023 Posted June 7, 2023 Does it do the same thing if you WPDSG from the SA page, instead of from HSI? I tend to use that method instead, probably the same thing, just a habit for me…i don’t know if there’s a difference in the method that might change things.

Annoying there's a HSI and SA pages, never knew why they didn't just combine the two. You lose your autopilot/fly by wire if you press WPDSG and you cant see the names of waypoints on SA!

That must be it. Because the only thing I see looking at a waypoint in the flir is my target diamond. I really only use the HSI for navigation entry stuff, 99% of the time I have SA page up for better …situational awareness. Edited June 16, 2023 by MarkyMark
hotrod525 Posted June 26, 2023 Posted June 26, 2023 (edited) Your talking about the ATFLIR pod i guess, then no you can't remove the waypoint mark in the screen. If you realy cant stand it, use LITENING pod, you wont see the waypoint mark and you'll have more zoom lol. And no, you dont lose you're "FBW" when you designate a target, the only thing it does it change the autopilot mode, wich can still be "Coupled" it simply goes from "WAYPNT" to "TGT ". If you set it right, you can litteraly make the F18 flight itself an entire route up to the target,have the plane auto-lase and egress back to a route. All you need to do is pickling the munition. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21q1kcqCwhQ EDIT : Just for the "fun" of it, you should setup a mission with flight computer failure, losing FBW will take a whole new meaning haha Edited June 26, 2023 by hotrod525
