TGP on our Viper? How well does it actually integrate wih Mavericks?

[RyanR]

 

I'm still a newbie here when it comes to avionics after 1945. There's another thread on this that's a bit over my head. It's all fine, as the F-16C module is still super cool, and an endless source of learning and fun. Could we have a quick, not-too-emphatic thread about what we have on our Blk50?

We have a mix of Litening and LANTRIN in our TGP? Not Sniper. The pod we have will eventually be modeled as LANTRIN?

The other hard-to-answer question I have (if we're working with a hodge-podge of pods) is, how much precision *should* there be between the TGP and a AGM-65 seeker? "Video game" logic would dictate that once you boresight a Maverick, there would be laser-like precision between the two sensors. However, since DCS simulates the avionics this some level of imprecision might be expected. Yes the INS development may be impacting things negatively, but I dunno what we should expect. 

The INS work is super cool, by the way.

To start this thread on a positive note, I've been captivated by the F-16 since Falcon was initially released in 1988 on the Atari ST and Amiga. I read the manual probably a thousand times. Read everything I could on the F-16 back then. I got into WWII sims at some point, and stayed in that era for ages. The DCS F-16 brings me back to being a kid again. It's been endless fun, and endless learning. 

Thanks,

If you don't like the thread, then just close it, you have the power to do that.
But the way you got in here is, to put it nicely, was |-not-| nice.
That was really below the belt.

Actually the thread you linked was the one I was referencing:

Sounds like the Lightening/LANTIRN mish-mash will become LANTIRN (I'm guessing the AN/AAQ-14 targeting pod) after the Sniper ATP? Just clearing my head is the trick these days.....

The other question was simply how much "precision" should there be between any of these targeting pods and a Maverick seeker in the best case? We do a lot of complaining on the forum about this, under the assumption that perfection is reality, and deviation from perfection must a bug..... however reality often is imperfect. 

Thanks,

I said "over my head", not NineLine. It's all good.

I see the situation... At face value, it looks like Nineline is insulting RyanR.

On closer evaluation, he's just asking a question, clarifying which article RyanR found confusing and partially quoting him.

Just a misunderstanding. I initially read it as an insult also.
