I was on the first team to equip the USMC with the capability of this pod. Their crews (VMFA142) loved this pod. We were Boeing testers on the E/F program that went to NAS Atlanta for a few weeks of fun
Finally, someone deals with something other than clouds, 2 days now all TH-cam is talking about clouds and no tutorial on additional weapons, systems, or other functions. Thank you Cap!
Do you ever wake up and realise you make dcs easy to understand for the masses! Your no doubt hard work is always appreciated. Thank God for super cap. Legend.
Maybe explain, that you can now use the Zoom keys (or corresponding HOTAS Buttons) to also go through Narrow/Norm/Wide view angles. So unlike the Litening pod you don't need two seperate controls.
Reportedly this pod provides both navigation and targeting FLIR modes. But when its locked on the target, how can it provide navigation, for which it must be pointed straight ahead?
So what you're telling me is I spent over an hour playing one of the Persian lion missions and I couldn't figure out the stupid targeting pod and the whole time it was because I never turned the laser designator switch on............... I'm kind of a mix of angry that I didn't know that and happy that I now do I'm angrappy.
Dear Cap, what is the difference between dashed and solid target diamond in ATFLIR ? Most of the times when try to lock on A/G targets I get dashed diamond.
Hi Cap.First of all, thanks for the guide! The second thing is that I have a problem with the first part of the guide. I don't have the VVSLV on my DDI, Is it a bug ore its just me?
Hi , I am following your video. The laser designator switch does not stay in the arm position. It goes back to safe evey time I tried to turn the LTD/R ON. How can I turn it on. Thank you. I really like your videos
@@grimreapers Thank you admiral. However, it goes down although I have not done any drop. I turn the ATFLIR on and it works no problem. The LST laser goes to the ON position with no problem. But when I move the switch of the laser designator it never stays in the ARM position. It does not matter if I have done any drop or not. Sorry, I was not clear in my first question. I never goes to the ARM position
ola CAp can u do a comparsion vid of the old and new pods...my thinks the old 1 has a better zoom...new 1 would be better for in close stuff with the wide FOV...could spot and designate a tank at 40 miles with old 1 ..maybe 25 miles with new 1
The center screen is black and white but the left and right screens should be green and black. I've never seen black and white on the left and right screens.
Please do not use the Matt Wagner way of explaining things! Instead of telling people to click buttons, showing us what the problem is and how to solve it, plus alternatives for completing the task. And reflections on the effects and efficiency are much more engaging and meaningful! That’s also your old way of making excellent tutorials.
Whats the difference between this and the Litening pod?

FoV (RAID) switch still turns on FLIR
Thanks for a great video!

Thanks for this CAP..👌
great explanation, thanks!
VVSL equals Velocity Vector Slave Lock I think cap? Not vertical velocity slave.
thx
The thumbnail of this video makes it look like there is a gigantic barrel rolling across the city.
well said
Great vid, thx! Did you happen to select the wrong pod at 1:33 btw?

Nice.. why my screen went down after a bomb hit a target or if stay for a long time on?
Rest in peace Litening 2
What is the difference of the two?
@@therealbismarck7839 not Big differences...but the atflir is supposed to have a higher quality image
@@therealbismarck7839 ATFLIR has better zoom and is more modern form what I understand. Also the U.S. Navy uses the ATFLIR instead of the Litening.
Now i need a sniper xr for my cf18...
Symmetry left the chat.
Dear Cap,
what is the difference between dashed and solid target diamond in ATFLIR ? Most of the times when try to lock on A/G targets I get dashed diamond.
DASHED target point is still moveable SOLID target is fully locked and not moveable
What’s the practical difference between INR designated and un designated? Would u ever wanna use undesignated if still can slew in designated mode?
No diff that I have found.

Yes this is how it works. You have to reset the switch after every drop.
@@grimreapers Thank you admiral. However, it goes down although I have not done any drop. I turn the ATFLIR on and it works no problem. The LST laser goes to the ON position with no problem.

hmm. is possible designate without pod," rctrl+; " but...no precise zoom .
Why does the switch stay when he sets the laser mine goes back after I flipp it, and I missing something
More guns & gadgets :)
Yay it's up
so are you?
Whats are the differences between this and the litening pod, is one better?
Will compare them soon.
Did you guys make a video like this for the latest version of the Harrier TPOD?
Yup vid comes out tomorrow 1100UTC
@@grimreapers Oh, cool, thx
ola CAp

Is anyone else having the problem of the ATFLIR not showing up in payload screen? I still only have the TPOD
It can only be used on pylons 4 & 6 unlike the LITENING which can use pylons 4, 5 & 6.
It is going to take me at least 6 months just to get proficient with using this thing. geesh🙄
So my tgp is black and white, not green and black... Is there a setting for that, or did I install a mod and forget?
How odd, I've never seen non-green...
@@grimreapers I know, for the life of me I dont know what I did or when I did it.
The center screen is black and white but the left and right screens should be green and black. I've never seen black and white on the left and right screens.
There is a mod that changes the screens to black and white LCDs. Maybe you had that installed?
Is this an advanced FLIR TGP in DCS?
Thanks for the video!
yes
@@grimreapers I cheched it out, it comes with 2.7 right? Hope its much more user friendly than the older version :-)
Thx!
pliz tutorial RAFALE controll laser long range
Can anyone get it to work? If so let me know please.
The USA link for Winwing is down. I was thinking about one of their FA18 throttles. Are they still playing CCP covid games?
Anyome else having problems with auto mode?
Yes I have..it will not track moving tagets like cap show here and GMT does not show any moving targets either
JS it's FLIR [pronounced FLEER] not FLUR or FLOUR
Thx!

Yes but under a lot of pressure to be more "professional"
