DMT N/A Functionality - no display on HUD?

[baboeska]

Hi there,
Trying to bring up the NA's special night vision sensor, the DMT, onto the HUD display for proper nap of the earth night time flying, I encountered major issues with pressing a jumble of buttons on the sensor select switch/TMS hat, you know the one.
I'm wondering if the issue is at my end, or if the Harrier's DMT is borked at the moment?

Thank you :)

The HUD was in night mode?

DMT is the TV/Laser sensor in the nose. It does not project onto the HUD, only onto the MFCDs. You're looking for the FLIR, which is displayed on the HUD by having it in night mode, as BJ55 stated, then pressing Sensor select down twice slow(NOT Aft!). That should toggle the FLIR picture on the HUD.

I believe it is Sensor Select DOWN LONG (just once).

 

I had trouble with this until I realized I was confusing the AUTO position of the HUD mode switch with the true NIGHT position. Make sure you flip it all the way down. It is kind of hard to see at NIGHT without some cockpit lighting or Flashlight.

You're probably right, been a long time since I used the FLIR myself.
