Nice job Larry,

 

Will this crosshair always be displayed on the screen?

 

No. that is an alignment tool that I use when developing displays. It helps me put everything in its place. It won't be there upon release.

Are you guys aiming for a 2017 release?

 

Yes. That is our goal.

@zeus67, you guys using the same lighting pod code from the DCS-a10c or you working on a new code line?

 

We are using the same tools ED used for the A-10C's LITENING POD. It is unavoidable, they are the only tools that exist in order to create a targeting pod.

Thank you for the answer, the ED lighting POD is great, the only issue is "and not limited to The LITENING" is the FLIR in general got broken at some point during the patches and does not work very well or in a realistic way, They did say they will re make it at some point but not sure on its progress.

It has a problem in 1.5.6 and it seems that it was fixed for 2.0.5.

It's only "fixed" in 2.0 because of the contrast with the desert terrain of NTTR. Here's hoping ED will implement a proper FLIR simulation soon.

Either that or the sensor does not make any sense.

 

A question, isn't the Harrier's screen when in Lightning pod green? Or is it like the A-10C black and whiteish?

Two days into the LITENING pod development and all I have been doing is MPCD pages. There are five of them (actually seven if you count the two service ones). Well, it seems that tomorrow will be the last day I spend with MPCD pages and their navigation, so I can go to the core of the matter: managing the LITENING pod and getting video. Here is one of the MPCD pages, the others are similar.

Hey Zeus. Is the intention to map the MFD OSB buttons mappable? It'd be nice to actually get to use my Thrustmaster MFD's properly!

That was also my understanding. Basically NTTR obviously is using desert textures which makes the targets stand out more from the ground compared to Caucasus. Anyway, once Normandy is out we'll have some good indication if spotting targets is easier. Though I wouldn't expect a proper FLIR yet.

F/A-18, F-16, F-14, M-2000C, A-10C, AV-8B, AJS-37 Viggen, F-5E-3, F-86F, MiG-21bis, MiG-15bis, L-39 Albatros, C-101 Aviojet, P-51D, Spitfire LF Mk. IX, Bf 109 4-K, UH-1H, Mi-8, Ka-50, NTTR, Normandy, Persian Gulf... and not enough time to fully enjoy it all

So, was there a final verdict on whether or not the Harrier will be able to land, re-arm and take off again from FARP's? Either in VTOL or STOL? Would give it great versatility seeing as it has limited stores compared to the A-10.

 

That's for ED to decide. If they can make the FARPs store supplies then why not?

Still working on the cameras controls. This is a CCD video test. Final result will be different.

FARP is working with "another" module. You can find video of FARP in downtown.

So it will be even easier with the Harrier. :thumbup:

If i am not wrong the FARP does work now "if the aircraft is ON the FARP", but getting there over grass or the huge slope breaks your gear.

 

So basically the system does work, if that same system can be attached to a "truck" for example, or if need be a static but flat object. should not be That hard to do.

But surely you could send a request asking them to make it work?

 

I guess it would be sufficent to make it so that it´s at the same level as the surrounding.
