silverdevil Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 I did the latest beta update today and just poked around with the hornet. First thing I noticed was there was only ''empty" on the stores loadout page in a mission that was edited from another different plane mission. I thought the loadouts were independent of the missions? Anyway not the reason for this post. I noticed a new space in the loadout page "STK". The available objects for this position is only smoke. I am thinking this is where the sensor pod will be located? Anyone else have other information?

Darcwaynard Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) If by sensor pod you mean the ATFLIR pod it is mounted on one of the cheek stations.

silverdevil Posted January 23, 2019 Author Share Posted January 23, 2019 If by sensor pod you mean the ATFLIR pod it is mounted on one cheek stations. thats what i had found after i posted the question. i am guessing that is the position acronym for the cheek station? you say "stations" indicating more than one so perhaps not since there was only one STK station listed.

Darcwaynard Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I doubt it, it would be either of the stations on the side of the plane that can have aim-120's or Aim-7s (not sure the numbers of those stations off hand). STK is referring to where the smoke canisters are mounted in the rear of the aircraft? Pure speculation on this.

Madbrood Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 not sure the numbers of those stations off hand I think they are 7 & 8? EDIT: I think it's 4 & 6, with the numbering being sequential left to right as opposed to alternating. i7-4770k | EVGA GTX 980 SC | 16GB DDR3 | TrackIR 5, TM Warthog HOTAS, Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals DCS: F-16C, F/A-18C, F-14A/B, AV-8B, FC3, A-10C, Black Shark II, UH-1H, F-86F, MiG-21bis, Mirage 2000C, AJS-37, F-5E :pilotfly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDieing Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Unless something changed in the latest update (the one that released the 16th), the position you mention is probably SMK instead of STK. They may have changed that acronym either on purpose, by accident or you misread. It simulates the placement of a smoke generator between the engine exhausts (not visible in the 3D model AFAIK), as per for example the Blue Angels use. That is the reason smoke is the only available loadout for that station.

Rennes Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 (edited) FYI and unrelated to the question. The ATFLIR can only go on station 4.

I'm no where near there but I usually get to see the CF-188 demo at least once a year in Ontario. :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Amd Fx 8350 4.3 GHz - MSi Gtx 1060 6gb - 16gb DDR3 A-10C - AV8B - F-5E - Mig-21 - FC3 - CA - UH-1H - Black Shark - AJ3-37 - M-2000C - F-16C Viper - F-86F - Spitfire - Fw-190 - F/A-18C - F-14 - Normandy - NTTR - Persian Gulf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
