During my flight test days E/F hornet, I remember when we installed the first ATFLIR`s on VMFA-142 out of NAS Atlanta, we spend 2 weeks with the squadron teaching them all the basics, then we got a call from another skipper, then another, and another as they became available. I think it was around 2003. Gave the A+ hornets a bunch of capability in the gulf they desperately needed..

I watched this on my iPad for the 2nd time and mostly listened while I sat in the hornet in VR and followed along. That was extremely effective! I finally understand how to use this system and what it’s capable of. Also, now understand the relationship between the targeting pod and laser guided bombs. A very complex system made understandable! Nice job TorniQuet! Much appreciated!

Referring to making the appropriate sensor the sensor of interest… ie if you have your ground radar as SOI and try and move your ATFLIR it will move the radar TDC not the ATFLIR. You have to tell the aircraft which sensor you want to control as it doesn’t know what you’re trying to do is what I meant 🤪

I'm glad you're still putting out vids in this series, it's quality. I'm not a beginner, but I still learn at least one thing (usually many) from each of your vids. I tried your TDC axis tuning and my Warthog HOTAS is a lot more responsive. That was a great idea, using a practical example of finding an SA-6 site. It really brought the instruction together. Have you tried using the MFCD for viewing the FLIR? The picture is much cleaner when it's not in the monochrome that the DDIs are restricted to. I put the MFCD in night mode as well, because you have a much wider range of contrast. Another benefit is that I find it's easier to glance down quickly to the SA page on the right DDI instead of the MFCD, and my situational awareness demands a lot of glances. Great vid once again TQ thank you!
@TorniQuetHD
@TorniQuetHD 2 жыл бұрын
Glad you got something out of them mate ☺️ I do use the MFCD occasionally but I’m so used to having the SA page/HSI on that that it feels weird when I mess up my displays haha. If I’m really struggling to break a target out in the ground clutter I do switch to that to help with identifying targets for sure 👌🏻 Very good point though that it is much clearer to see with compared to the monochrome displays.
@StrongHarm
@StrongHarm 2 жыл бұрын
@@TorniQuetHD Yeah I struggle with that too. When I'm AA in the hornet I keep my SA page on the MFCD and use HOTAS binds to interact with it. When I go AG I repeatedly try to use those same bindings on the SA that's now on the DDI and it messes me up. It would be nice if each attack mode had a different bindings profile. Theoretically, you could create different binding profiles and activate them based on mission. That sounds like a pain though really. Probably just easier to use a monochrome FLIR haha.

Great job form the great Explainator! One thing about the Offset: As far as I saw that on the Lightening Tpod, its an offset for the drop-point of the bomb. So if you have a fast moving target, you can tell the CCRP to add some lead to it, because otherwise, you might miss. Especially, when dropping from high alitude on fast moving targets. I´ve tried that with the Lightening on a Ship, moving with 30 kts from around 25.000ft. Without offset, I missed, with offset, I could score hits. Maybe it´s the same here. Cheers...

I know this was an ATFLIR video, but that little tip for switching between SA and HSI was worth the whole watch. Another little tip: once you find something (e.g. your SA-2 with the JHMCS), hit a markpoint on it so you can WPDESG back to it easily.

They have reworked the FLIR imagery so if a vehicle has been sitting stationary it will not show up on FLIR anymore, it only picks up on contrast of temperature so if the vehicles engine is hot compared to the ground it will show up. As most vehicles are placed into missions stationary and don’t drive around or shoot until they have been attacked it is a lot harder to pick them out like real life now.

Someone else in the comments also said you can designate a target via JHMC and then hit MARK on the HSI to create a mark point you can target designate later to come back and find it.

Radar SAM’s will give you the warning and when they fire your RWR will go off even more letting you know it has detected an incoming missile.
