AV-8B Harrier: DMT TV & LST/LSS Tutorial | DCS WORLD

[@rallewilli6521]

Nice job Cap, nicely done like always

[@R3VOh]

Doesn't FLIR stand for Forward Looking Infra Red?

[@grimreapers]

I know it's weird. It says FILTER in the pocket manual??

[@akaHarvesteR]

I'm guessing it's a typo. The training mission also calls that button FLTR, not FLIR. Easy mistake to make I guess.

[@ricardobornman1698]

Thanks Cap.

[@spitfire4sergi]

Is there a knee board/ checklist I could pull up in VR for these procedures?

[@grimreapers]

not that I know of

[@AncalimeNL]

I dont really get it. You used the tv to find/lock the target, then, you switch over to your mavericks, uncage, use the maverick sensor to get the same lock, and fire it with that.... like you would do normally.... Could you explain it to me Cap, as it now looks like the tv has no use

[@arparso]

The TV is useful for finding the targets, because it has a much bigger zoom. With the mavericks you have to be pretty close before you can make out any individual targets - and even then you'll probably not recognize the type of the target, because it is still too small on the screen. So basically, use TV or TPOD to find and identify targets, then approach target area, uncage the maverick, get a lock and fire. You can skip the TV/TPOD part and do the same with the mav seeker, but it's gonna be difficult, because you'll be much closer to the target and thus have much less time to find a target, lock it, fire the mav and avoid enemy fire.

Can you Zoom the DMT TV ?

[@grimreapers]

I never found a way to zoom.

As of June 2020 the DMT seems to be bugged. Circle around and it won't be on target. It will be off on some random location.

[@grimreapers]

good Lord...

[@P90F55]

@@grimreapers That's what I said. (Actually I said much worse but that's beside the point) so I came back here to watch the video again because the Reapers never lied to me. Sure, enough its not functioning as intended.

Been fixed since then thank goodness!

[@P90F55]

@@jeffreyc2074 Thank goodness. Love DCS even if it is quirky. They fix everything eventually.

[@will9357]

Unfortunately, that is not a bug. I was reading some of the documentation on the DCS Harrier (I don't recall whether this was from a Chuck's guide or the currently incomplete manual), but apparently, in the real aircraft, the DMT can't always accurately retain it's previous position if you turn away and then come back. Supposedly, the tracker should be somewhere in the vincinity of the target point. IIRC, the cause is that Harrier's inertial navigation system itself can drift away from your actual location which affects things like your DMT.

[@P90F55]

And if you have a target waypoint designated [DESG], LST won't work.
