Hoggit haters are really missing out on some superbly detailed tutorials, with a voice that doesn't put you to sleep and little explanations that other KZbinrs gloss over.

[@grimreapers]

Thx Weaver!

[@violentnomad.]

I dont get why so much hate from them either...

[@beauomari9484]

i guess Im quite off topic but does anyone know of a good website to stream newly released series online ?

[@corbinreginald2849]

@Beau Omari lately I have been using FlixZone. You can find it by googling =)

CAP, You are our special gift from the Heavens

[@henrikoldcorn]

Oh my, feels like you did this just for me after my earlier comment! Excellent tutorial, sounds like it took some planning. Hopefully this and simple Auto bombing will make more sense now.

[@fh4635]

Very informative and I really appreciate reduced speaking speed (non-native speaker here) ;-). Thank you.

[@grimreapers]

Thanks. Learning to control my voice.

[@NatendoSwitch]

Having so much fun with the Harrier and the Orion Hotas in 2.7

[@grimreapers]

good man :)

[@davidrenaud5026]

Great video. Just want to add that the INR track is useful when doing aggressive manoeuvring. The TGP will track a position with coordinates. Whereas if you do a hard turn for example a pop up attack, in area or point track the TGP might loose track and send the designated target somewhere else

[@grimreapers]

thx

[@flyaruu]

Amazing that one pilot is supposed to do all that AND fly the plane

[@Yatzeck]

Great tutorial mate! Informative and cover all that I need. 👌🏻👍

[@boggy8557]

Good stuff CAP, clear and concise. MTC means Multiple Target Cueing. PiP means picture in picture display. The 0 / 0 in the bottom right corner (above OBS 16) is the "Aircraft Command Line-Of-sight offset bearing and range", apparently it should show the a/c command line of sight offset bearing and range for designated target when the pod is in track mode. Not sure whether this actually works or not or how handy it is to use.

[@alexdan7573]

Thanks CAP, as allways very helpfull.

[@sterni70]

21:50 it is modeled....after a certain amount of time the laser switches off by itself

[@bartbroekhuizen5617]

Thanks allot! I found it very hard to distinguish if certain MFCD's where SOI or not. Thanks for the explanation.

[@sparrowlt]

Why they dont make the Harrier Plus with the APG-65? the radar its allready moded in the Hornet...

[@codyjackson3616]

Agreed. Although the Hornet was developed by ED, and the Harrier is RAZBAM, so I don't know if ED would be so willing to share in development. Could be wrong though, but yes, we need the Plus.

[@NAND-Solution]

Can this thing be used to designate targets for NAval assets such as Missle Cruisers? Or perhaps its more likley they would be using GPS?

[@funnynerdyme]

very nice video. Still can't get my IR mavericks to work though. Unboxing works and the head slews to the target but i cant box them. (IRMV with ss forward ) does not work

[@grimreapers]

bugged? Didn't see anything about it in patch notes.

[@funnynerdyme]

@@grimreapers i could make it work if i dont have the TPOD as SOI and then slew the maverick's senor. still weird to first mark the target and then redo it for the mavericks. Maybe i can somehow slave the meverick sensor to the TPOD. Will do some tinkering

[@funnynerdyme]

@@grimreapers i got it to work, I need to make the TPOD not SOI , so i think it makes the maverick SOI, then i can SS forward and box the IRMV , Then TDC action to lock the maverick and then i can engage the target

[@danielfang749]

@@funnynerdyme yep, it's like that since before 2.7, I've missed many shots cuz of that tho lol

[@74GreyCat]

Great video! I just didn't understand what the Enable Action/no action TDC button is for? Should I point the TDC at the target and press this button? What's the point of it? If it is not difficult, write here.

[@preamp51]

With the ‘Enable Action/no action’ box ticked you can slew the tpod around to look around and still keep the t0 target point until you depress the sensor select switch (SSS). With the box not ticked the t0 target point is kept while slewing, but as soon as you stop slewing the new position will be the new t0 target point. It’s a matter of preference... Hope this helped! Cheers!

[@74GreyCat]

@@preamp51 Thank you, now everything is clear! Very convenient with a check mark.

[@l.a.xgunner]

I just bought the Harrier and I have yet to learn anything. This plane is such a pain honestly

[@nigelmtb]

It really isn't at all. Don't be overwhelmed trying to learn EVERYTHING. Take your time and learn one thing at a time. Fly first, fight later. You will get there.

[@mrgoodzg]

It is. But once you master it, you'll love it!

[@l.a.xgunner]

@@nigelmtb I am. I've got the hang of using the sidearms, IR mavs and the guided hydra rockets. I might just give up on the jdams and leave that for my hornet

[@_DANZIG_]

@@l.a.xgunner i am having problems with the jdams as well. just cant figure it out.

[@violentnomad.]

@@l.a.xgunner @DANZIG JDAM's looks scary at first but they are pretty simple to use and you can do 10 in one pass with markpoints, using F10 map to feed data into CAS Page, there are some tutorials you can learn. Give them a try :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpDFmGmIdtShatU

[@DawidDettlaff]

12:14 all right, what is MTC. Someone has to know.

[@boggy8557]

Multi target cueing

[@joeyjoey7972]

since a recent update the TDC is not locking upon release, just moves around with the aircraft, any ideas?

[@grimreapers]

I can't keep up with this thing anymore sorry.

[@joeyjoey7972]

@@grimreapers , i actually sorted it, they added easy TPOD settings in the special settings section for the Harrier. it was noted in the release notes...

[@arturojgt-HVM]

Dear, where can I read about all these new functions in the tpod?

[@grimreapers]

We've not found any documentation yet.

[@LtShifty]

Hey cap, been waiting to get this for ages! Thanks for the super informative vid as always. I know everyone must be asking about the clouds, but are you guys by chance going to have a play about with winds and such to see what effects it has if any?

[@grimreapers]

wind vs clouds you mean? ED said clouds currently not modelled with wind so no point spending any time on it.

[@preamp51]

While on that subject, does anyone know if the new clouds also work for dynamic weather?

[@GG-gu6ri]

my lazer doesnt armed :( bug maybe? or i need to have some switch up or something else?

[@conkeymusic]

Does the tpod FLIR mode work above a cloud deck or do you need to be below the layer?

[@grimreapers]

FLIR can NOT see through the cloud. Assume that is realistic?

[@pinkfloyd7572]

Great video, thank you! But did you mean to say "interpolate" or "extrapolate"? 15:30

[@grimreapers]

lol not sure TBH.

[@warrenzechnas]

S U P E R U S E F U L --- THANK YOU CAP!!!

[@benharwood3698]

This is going to be a cast iron pain in the ass without HOTAS. Currently trying to see what I can make work with my joystick + logitech gamepad for extra dpads and buttons! It definitely complicates understanding having to double translate and learn new words & acronyms on the fly. Anyone got a spare HOTAS they want to donate to a bad cause?

[@danielfang749]

hey, remember you can use multipliers keys as well such as "alt" and "ctrl". Eg.: all my sensor select switches are actually alt + hat switches, for tdc slewing I use the arrows, etc. I don't have track IR , so that makes buttons availability even smaller, but it works just fine :) Even when doing hover or STOL proceadures, using just mouse and a bit of calm can be a good way to deal with those problems, at least while u can't get better equip :)

[@Daniel-jq4qk]

how to change TPOD Laser code though?

[@grimreapers]

SSS Back to get LST up. Then just change on the UFC. Easy.

[@Daniel-jq4qk]

@@grimreapers Thanx GR

[@shuntera]

@@grimreapers is it the same way to get the TPOD to recognize laser spot track from someone else like a JTAC, which is different from the PRF used by the targeting laser?

[@boggy8557]

@@shuntera you have to match the laser code in the jet to the laser code from the JTAC in order for the TPOD or ARBS/LST mode to track it. To change the laser code you either do it from the EHSD or DMT page by pressing the OSB button labelled CODE and entering the code on the UFC and pressing ENT.
