Is Lantirn available for the KTO campaign?
-
before I had to leave and discovered my rig was basically not gonna work because it was purpose built (too many hardwired high fidelity capture devices) I started messing around with the FLIR. Im jealous I won’t be back for at least 6 weeks because night flying on a 100 inch screen was FREAKING AMAZING. and just fyi, the israeli c52+cft has the FLIR as well. they ordered it because they knew, border crossing with the tfr at night low rev with DTOS was an EVENTUALITY, not a maybe.
All civilized airports have USB ports in every seat now.
EDIT:
quick edit, if by chance any internet randos who are new read this someday, get off the NVG boy, get off it- get that FLIR on the the hud…super cool.

Why aren’t the Block 40’s able to carry the LANTRIN in BMS? They even have the WAR HUD specifically for displaying FLIR…
IIRC Block 40 and 42 are the same aircraft but with different engines.
Same with the block 30/32. The 40 has the GE F110 and the 42 has the P&W F100.Other than that, they have always been the same in all other aspects, except for structural provisions to cater for the different engines perhaps.

That’s exactly why I hate swapping out block 40’s with block 42’s in mission commander. The Block 42 has a weaker engine.
The Block 40 should be able to carry the LANTIRN.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Fix what? If you want to add the LANTIRN to the Blk 40 you can do so in the ac.dat file. Find the section that says HasTGP, HasFLIR, HasHTS, etc… and you can change everything it can carry, or even make it embedded so you don’t have to “load” it in the loadout screen. Apologies I don’t remember the exact wording of the setting, but it’s toward the bottom of the DAT file. You just have to find the one for the Blk40 and modify it. There are comments to help you figure out what to change the 0 to. This will effect your MP “Has Same Files” check though, so beware.
It’s in the ACDATA folder, in case that was going to be your next question.

I thought it should. In the FLIR/TFR training TE - if you go to the loadout, and select “TGP” it loads up the 2 POD’s for TFR and FLIR, but in the Campaign (Block 50) - you select “TGP” on the weapon loadout and you only get a single, lighter pod (Sniper I think) - is this normal? I’d also like to enable the FLIR/TFR in campaign. Thanks!

Yes it’s normal, read my reply above.

I’m flying the F-16CM-50 - opened the f16bk50.dat - settings are Has_TGP 1, Has_TFR 1 and has LANTIRN 0 - will look around further.

I beleieve the HasTGP is depricated now and it checks the TGPType or something to that effect. It’s right below the HasTGP line. But to enable the LANTIRN, change the 0 to a 1 after HasLANTIRN

Thanks! was the LANTIRN setting.

A quick fix like that won’t load the actual model on the chin station though will it?
I can’t do it anyway, since it will mess with multiplayer.
Really hope they get this one on the next update, it’s got to be one of the easiest fixes -

Past that right now….there is no other way.
