KTO Joseon Add-On

Fro WIKI :
"The Sniper is a single, lightweight targeting pod with much lower aerodynamic drag than the systems it replaces[citation needed]. Its image processing allows aircrews to detect, identify and engage tactical-size targets outside the range of most enemy air defenses, giving it a crucial role in the destruction of enemy air defense missions. It also supports urban engagements beyond jet noise range for counter-insurgency operations. It offers a 3-5X increase in detection range over the older LANTIRN system[citation needed], and is currently flying on U.S. Air Force and multinational F-16, F-15, B-1B, CF-18, Harrier, A-10, B-52 and Tornado aircraft.The pod incorporates a high definition mid-wave FLIR, dual-mode laser, visible-light HDTV, laser spot tracker, laser marker, video data link, and a digital data recorder.[2] Advanced sensors and image processing incorporating image stabilization enable targets to be identified at ranges which minimize exposure to defensive enemy systems. The dual-mode laser offers an eye-safe mode for urban combat and training operations along with a laser-guided bomb designation laser.
The pod’s FLIR allows observation and tracking through smoke and clouds, and in low light / no light conditions. The CCD camera supports the same operations in visible light for most daylight conditions. However, the Sniper came under fire in 2014 in the aftermath of a deadly airstrike in Afghanistan that saw five American and one Afghan soldier killed when a B-1B bomber equipped with the pod could not detect the infrared strobe lights on the helmets of U.S. troops in a firefight, resulting in the deadliest case of friendly fire between American forces in the course of the Afghanistan War.[3]
For target coordination with ground and air forces, a laser spot tracker, a laser marker, and an HDTV quality video down-link to ground-based controllers supports rapid target detection and identification. The Sniper can also provide high-resolution imagery for non-traditional Intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (NTISR) missions without occupying the centerline station on small fighter aircraft, and can maintain surveillance even when the aircraft maneuvers. As a result, a second, dedicated fighter aircraft isn’t needed to provide protection to a dedicated ISR aircraft, which many small nations cannot afford.[4]
For ease of maintenance, Sniper’s optical bed design, partitioning, and diagnostic capabilities permit two-level maintenance, eliminating costly intermediate-level support. Automated built-in testing allows maintenance personnel to isolate and replace a line replaceable unit in under 20 minutes to restore full mission-capable status."

Positive. Anyone, go actually check the block 40 in bms… no flir or tfr
Positive.
EDIT: even the manual says the 40 should have the Lantirn, while it doesn’t.
-
Lantirn is if the model has imbeded Lantirn pod i dont think it has anything to do with the FLIR, if it does why 52 is Flir capable even with the sniper? doing some research now, I dunno bout the sniper but when i read that even strike eagles are start using it… that says a lot
change has_lantirn from 0 to 1 and you can use FLIR in-game. << <confirmed.<br>As for the discrepancies between block 50, block 52 edit: need to test these</confirmed.<br>

As for the discrepancies between block 50, block 52 (both have sniper but only one has flir)
either:
1. Bms devs know something we don’t
2. Bms devs made a mistake
OK
-
correction: In defualt KTO, neither 50 nor 52 have Flir/TFR enabled in the fm
-
Question is whether they project the sniper pod “FLIR” image to the hud… eh i don’t think so. Bms had it right
@manos… maybe the 52 you were thinking of is the KF-16C block 52. Which has the Lantirn pod. lol

Added link to first post for an update. A fps reduction may occur if one or more bomber flights enter the palyer’s bubble and drops a large number of bombs during the first hours of the campaign with an already busy airspace. The fps drop is momentary (30/40 seconds) nonetheless annoying. The changes are in some of the priority files to reduce the number of strat bomb flights being fragged and the save file to make some of the bomber squadrons become active after a few days from the beginning of the campaign. Added some naval units.

What’s the difference in the “ALT” campaign?
-
Alt. Has more janhas models in alternate db
-
Updated first post with link to a fix. Mission.dat will effect new and ongoing campaigns, it improves helicopter flights fragging. Fixed location of one of the tanker squadron in save0.cam and unfortunately will not fix ongoing campaigns, the save file of the ongoing campaign must be fixed. Squadron is 909th, location off map should be at X=1030 Y=100, I inadvertently inverted the values when I first created it. Can be fixed easily with MC.

Great campaign. Only problem so far has been trees on runways in Josen Alt campaign. Love the Jan Has models and water reflections so that’s why using it rather than the base version.

My bad! I thought that I had original tileset in KTO but I had changed it to TomsKorea2012 which has those beautiful trees.

Great work! Is there any chance for janhas lv3 block-42 models in KTO-Joseon? I tried to install them but it was no good…had to reinstall the theater. Thanks again for your hard work!

I will see if I can have a new installer made soon with all the updates included plus the block 42.
