This video/tutorial is way underrated the amount of information and how it's conveyed in a manner which you can understand is astounding. INCREDIBLE JOB ! THANKS !

Use a multiplier as a ‘toggle’ rather than a ‘button’, so that with a tap of a key, your joystick changes to a FLIR controller (and vice versa). This means you don’t have to hold the multiplier key down all the time. It’s the boxes at the bottom of the control option page - adding a toggle.

Thanks Cap for breaking it down. QDES is the bomb! Love being able to snap back to a point without needing a computer science degree. The mask line as you pointed out is fantastic. Really like what LANTIRN is for its age.

As someone who started learning the LANTIRN literally yesterday, and using the mod to do all this from the pilot seat, this video is fantastic. The visuals speak very well to my own personal learning style. I like to see it. With the modes and systems, i'd say it took about 2 hours to figure this stuff out. Very well done.

I used to repair Lantirn pods. Mostly the Nav pod but I did work on the target pod as well. All our pods went on the F-15 and F-16. When the Navy retired the F-14, we received their pods to strip for parts. The Navy pods were slightly modified from the air force versions. The sniper pod replaces the old lantern target pods. Much better FLIR.

its just mind blowing how you can remember so many buttons over so many aircraft thank you for the video i will need to play it lots and lots of time

I struggled for a bit with this only because when I jump back to the pilot seat, jester changes the settings. I would disable jester before attempting this. Great and informative tutorial

Hey CAP - I think one reason for using a wingsweep of Bomb is that it gives a better LOS of the FLIR to the right and back. I just verified this and when I lost the target I could see my wing so I swept them back and my target in the flir came back, and I did see my wing move out of the way. Its not a huge area but it does allow for more maneuvering than in Auto mode IMO.

SNOWPLOW - F16 training kicks in LOL (from 15 years ago, funny what the mind retains)

"Q" = "cue": you're cueing ("Q'ing") the the sensor to a particular angle or location. The example image doesn't show slant range because the sensor is set to "point track", but the laser hasn't illuminated the target to designate it yet, so there's no range information.

I think I've found a nice discovery. The RIO and the pilot commands seem to be independent. Capt'n was using a modifier because he was short on buttons. However, I think you can reuse your pilot buttons in Rio mode. E.g. when you are in pilot mode the 'P' button could be used for parking brake. But when in Rio the 'P' may be used for a different command. Not 100% sure if this information is accurate but give it a try and let me know.

Try the mod that gives the pilot the keybinds of the RIO for the LANTIRN. Useful for single player

I was lucky and kept my old X-55 Rhino HOTAS after I got the Warthog. So I just use it when I have to use the joystick for the LANTIRN. Then once I don't need it for a load out, push it to the side of the desk out of the way.

Highly impressive!! How many pages is the manual?  And what page have you reached now? It is now obvious that this plane requires two separate educations - to be en effective RIO is at least as complicated as being a good pilot. You are doing an amazing job here. (What does the union say about 10hrs working days?  ;-))

[francois-xavier]

Very nice thks ! just one question i cannot figure out how did you enable the auto lase mode ? keep strugling on this :-(

[FreedomAintFree]

Heya Grim, great video as usual. Something happened with the DCS update a few days ago. When in Single player and switching to the Pilot seat, the RIO immediately turns the TID from TV back to Radar/Nav? Every time I switch back to RIO seat I have to change TID back to TV Mode. Any thoughts? This is Killin

[christianwrobel]

Hello, can I use the manual coordinate entry for the surface targets or waypoints? Does the pod then look exactly at the target? Is there exactly? greetings

[iHaveContrl]

Hi Cap, great tutorial I leaned a lot. I'm having trouble bombing a moving target, how do you actually bomb a moving target? So far I only got it working with the GBU-16 to hit non-moving targets...

"Now we gonna go for another run beacuse we can..."

Every combat pilot in afganhistan ever :D

[fabriziosantangelo]

Hi Grim Reaper, nice video
How i designate target?
