DCS F-14B Tutorial 9 - LANTIRN pod

In today's video I demonstrate how to use the LANTIRN pod in the F-14 both as a RIO in the back seat and with Jester.

Just found your vids. Outstanding! Been using your F-14 vids to learn the airframe. I used to work on the LANTIRN pod, fun to use it as a pixel pilot.

Good overview and introduction.
There is one particular useful feature, the direct head movement control option, for Jester. This one is perfect to track map objects, like bridges and buildings, or designate a point in the middle of a target group, from the front seat.
IIRC you can command Jester to search for targets and select types, also, similar to how George AI does in the AH-64D Longbow.
This is a key feature in Multiplayer, where you can't switch to the backseat.

The TID wasn’t used with the lantirn it was paired with the PTID that featured a 12x12 display and had better resolution than anything in the sky at the time

Every time I switch to pilot from rio jester says switching to area track and on designates my target can someone please explain

[Snugggg]

am i right in thinking this never actually existed with this version if the TID? and LANTIRN actually required a PTID equipped aircraft? is that right?
