[@einarabelc5]

Isn't that awesome!! I know the feeling when only native speakers can understand....

[@Tridan24]

Your a legend Redkite. Because of folks like you who take the time to do tutorials you make it so much easier to understand, frequently visit and enjoy your greatly appreciated work. Thanks so much.

[@RedKiteRender]

Thank you kindly!

[@Ayetsu]

A-10C II and RedKite video in the same day? This is great!

[@sterlingarcher4989]

Thank you for not falling for the letterbox format that so many ‘How to’ videos seem to be shifting to. It’s refreshing to be able to see what I’m being taught.

[@RedKiteRender]

KZbin's compression and low bitrate are the primary reason I prefer to do closeups! otherwise it's so easy for things to blur away, especially with lots of motion.

[@ZiRo815]

The letterbox format is a result of recording a widescreen display which has a different aspect ratio to non-widescreen displays

[@UkraineStar77]

As always, amazing tutorial, no bullshit and straight to the point! Much appreciated and keep it up!

[@wee6838]

laughs in grim reapers doing nothing but handing out wrong tutorials

[@Nate-ip4qo]

This is such a good video. There's the normal stuff that's in most tutorials then there's the 10000IQ shit like the A/A flir usage or that HARM TOO interaction. Thanks a ton, man. This was really helpful.

[@Tamburello_1994]

Appreciate guys like you and ralfidude stepping up with these detailed tutorials of late.

[@S.Figur-the_real_one]

Many Thanks. I was so frustrated when after a long time in VR I couldn't get along with the Hornet because of the pot. I'm training that right away and give thumbs up for this calm and very good tutorial. Thy vm ^^

[@JayDKBGames]

THis guys videos are the BEST tutorials he doesn't do a lot of other talk around no joking just straight to the point. I friggin LOVE his videos.

[@wiwa23]

This is really good and welcome stuff. A brilliant roundup of all the features of one specific system. This is the sort of tutorial that is worth watching over and over to remain ‘current’ and get refreshed. Because whatever the case, you tend to forget stuff. Thanks for your work Redkite. It is very much appreciated!👌

[@flyingfatcats517]

As a newer Hornet driver, I greatly appreciate this like the others have said! Have shared this on our discord channel under hornet training. Thanks much!

[@RedKiteRender]

Thanks! Welcome to the Hornet! It's my second favourite (after the hog)

[@schwappingmags1008]

Thanks for the tutorial, I found the hornet TGP is confusing, and harder to use than the A-10C TGP. The TGP on the A-10 is so intuitive. This tutorial helped me a lot, thanks!

[@terryboyer1342]

Agree! And I find the green screen vastly inferior to the black/white version.

[@schwappingmags1008]

@@terryboyer1342 True! I find it so hard to find targets with green scale.

[@Tailspin07]

This is so good, I realize now just how much I leave on the table. Time to get out there in the sandbox and put some of these new techniques to the test!

[@shawnbowers5509]

For sure best video on the pod I've seen. Very nice job! The timelines also were every helpful.

[@Exiler652]

WOW! What a load of information, will definitely give these a go tonight. As is with any training, you will only memorize it if you do it. Thank you RedKite :)

[@JohnnyJiuJitsu]

This must be the updated video I was asking about in the laser guided bomb tutorial from 2 years ago. *Gets out pen and paper. No, I'm going to bed. I'll save this for tomorrow :)

[@falcos]

Thank you! It was hard to find videos since so much has changed over time

[@inuit2winit]

An excellent video for a hornet driver returning after a long break (and perfectly timed, to boot), thanks!

[@nickatgmail]

The Prodigal Son returns! So good to see this Tutorial pop up just now, immediately watched it, and took notes. Love Your Work RedKite, thanks so much for getting us all up to date. As always, succinct and to the point. Cheers mate :)

[@RedKiteRender]

No problem! Glad the pod is more or less complete now!

[@lotnylotny671]

I'm 400. You make very good tutorials. You speak slowly, clearly and calmly - this is important for people with poor English :)

[@johanterblanche4988]

Great video, you're detail and calm explanation helps a lot

[@daciandraco6462]

As always -- and I do mean always, with your channel -- another masterfully done tutorial!

[@chrisknight5810]

Great Tutorial, well done. Thanks for your time and explaining the pod. I didnt know several points I found very useful.

[@JoJo-vm8vk]

Best Hornet Litening pod tutorial ever, amazing work 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@sedlo]

Got my pen and paper ready, can’t wait!

[@sedlo]

The reasoning for the offset had puzzled me, thanks for explaining what it is for.

[@jared9191]

Holy crap, wow, that was very impressive. Thank you so much for putting in the effort for this video, i'll be using it as a reference for a long time to come!

[@RedKiteRender]

Core systems deserve the time and effort to present properly! Wouldn't want to teach someone badly.

[@williamhall2386]

God your videos have the best clarity, organization, and flow..... you make these modules worth really digging into

[@MrPhantom453]

We've all been anxiously waiting for this one for quite some time and you haven't disappointed. Exceptional work ... as usual! Thank you Mr Kite. Now if I only had a Display Port connected directly to my brain I could download all these into permanent memory. 😉

[@RedKiteRender]

Haha i'd settle for not forgetting why I walked into a room!

[@fullspecwarrior]

Impeccable as always. I've only ever signed up for one Patreon, this one, because how can you not? The results clearly come from the effort put in. Thanks as ever.

[@RedKiteRender]

Thank you kindly!

[@haedubabaganush]

Very well done. Best tutorial I've seen on the subject. Thank you.

[@hiteshbhatia8333]

This is amazing, good to have it all in one place.

[@RedKiteRender]

It's nice to be able to cover a (mostly) complete feature too!

[@Peter-oe8qp]

I like your videos so much, I watched this even though I’ve already learned the pod. You sound happy!

[@RedKiteRender]

Hah It's nice to be covering a (mostly) complete system!

[@ex4lt341]

I am watching every of your tutorials. I don't even have DCS, it's just so well done that I like watch it :D

[@RedKiteRender]

Thanks for the kind words! (DCS does have a fair bit of it for free, with the simplified Su-25T being available if you want to try it out though!)

[@mrsatchie]

Coming back to this after a year (and noob on DCS at that time) has great value! Thanks again, great video..

[@RedKiteRender]

Glad to help!

[@simplewolf5946]

Incredible informative video. I personally never thought of using the MPCD with the TGP for greyscale. Super useful as that green overload can really take its toll on your eyes after a while. Again, great job.

[@RedKiteRender]

Can also be easier to discern and identify objects sometimes.

[@alexisesguerra2544]

Best tutorial for the TGP, ever! Clear and detailed. 👍👍👍

I've been waiting for a video like this. The TGP in the hornet has gone through so many changes and revisions that the official videos are rather worthless. I will also say that I really appreciate your no-frills, no-bullshit style of video. Very well done.

Thanks!
